The blackglass is a snapshot in time.. All of these events certainly did not happen on the same day, and Polly (being a classy lady) would have owned several dresses... I say mix it up.

Haha, if you can't tell, then sometimes its better not to know... You know?

As fantastic as the FAQ is, it does make me wonder whether its doing this thread a disservice.. Would there be so much drama and FUD posting if we accepted the same-y type questions asked/answered over and over again that you see on other owners threads?

Yes, many people... There have also been some sales on Pinside marketplace. They are $270 initially from distributors, and then I've seen them sell on the marketplace for $300-$350.

You probably will not be able to get one then.. That said, it looks like there is one for only $200 being sold on the marketplace in Ohio (literally right down the road from you) for local pick-up only. Why wouldn't you try to get that one? It's $70 under MSRP...

I have this mod, and flickering is the intended effect. Hence why the Mezel Mods description reads "...A small flickering lantern above the door..."

There’s no debate that these playfields (both materials and processes) are superior to Stern and JJP. The problem is the latter two don’t care to do anything because it’s not costing them sales and they are trying to maximize profits.

As someone who owns machines from all three companies, I’m not really sure I care all that much. Sure, my CCr looks amazing, but I also like that Stern can pump machines out like crazy at a lower price.

Couldn't have expressed my own thoughts more clearly than this. This should be in the FAQ so we can quit seeing messages about the difficulty.

Your post is unclear. Are you noticing it after long sessions? Or are you noticing it happening more frequently now that you've own the machine for a while even on short sessions?

The former could be solved with a cooling kit, as you mentioned, however the latter most likely is indicative of failed coil stops and dirty coil sleeves. Replace those first.

Happy New Year everyone - hoping someone is around to help me troubleshoot an issue I started running into this morning. When I turned on the machine I got switch errors related the mine and the train. After some sleuthing I determined the switches are working fine but the motors for both seem to not be working as I cannot get the train or the mine to move.

I’m not seeing anything obvious beneath the playfield. Anyone have any direction they can provide? Thank you!

Thanks - I was also thinking fuse. I’m looking through the manual now but am not seeing an obvious denotation on which/where that might be for these motors. Any ideas?

You rock! And indeed, no continuity on the multimeter... Thanks LTG & @transprtr4u!

Hey all - Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. My whitewater ramp shot is randomly registering shots without the ball going up it. I tried to look for some sort of traditional lane rollover switch, but it looks like instead it perhaps uses a magnetic sensor to detect the ball? If that's the case, how do I tackle this issue? Thanks!
