Quoted from TractorDoc:I predict you will have a request for another set sometime in the future. . . just have to get thru one or two other projects first.

Quoted from hisokajp:Is there any good set of instruction cards out there to print? Not finding much...
Used Ken template for Nine Ball and updated it with Cheetah info based on original cards pictures, will do for now 
Stern_Cheetah_instruction_cards v2.pdfQuoted from koji:Awesome man, thanks for sharing, this looks GREAT!
And if anyone wants the "formatted" version in a 6x4" picture you can easily print out (Costco $.12 each) just shout me a PM for the HQ version.

They are not looking bad
20200721_212714 (resized).jpgQuoted from cottonm4:Finding the wide body lockdown bar is going to be the challenge
or finding 2 normal size and cutting them like they used to?
Quoted from MegadethHangar18:G'day,
I don't do a lot on Pinside but I saw your question so thought I'd take a few Pix of my Cheetah and post them through. Please excuse the scared glass !
Cheers 18

Quoted from MegadethHangar18:No it's just how it was when I got it! If it helps I can ask my mate I bought it off where he got em from!?
i am definitely curious

Quoted from genex:Tourney folks - do you know if that Cheetah Home is what was at like INDISC and other big tournies? It feels like it's a better way to play it. These are notes I had from Ron on Slam Tilt about optimal Cheetah settings. I need to find a manual I can read to see how to adjust these settings once I get the Weebly board.
- set bonus X to reset every ball
- set left main bank to light bonus collect on 2nd set of drops - not 1st
- set grid awards to maintain between balls
- turn off EB and Specials (how many points?)
- set outlane posts all the way up
- make sure upper right sling above sling shot is super sensitive
I don't remember the details except the INDISC rom was the one where bonus collect is once a game.
I didn't think you could change bonus X reset on Stern?
Quoted from slochar:It's once a ball for the collect on the custom rom.
i do believe there are 2 of the custom ROMs, once with once per game and once per ball,,, now where did I see that?

Quoted from Dicky:Hi Guys
I am about to join the Club in the next couple of weeks , can’t wait
I was wondering if anyone had a modified Game rom , that stoped the collection of the bonus over & over , I’m sure I read somewhere there was one
Any help would be appreciated

I usually just use this one from PBL on top of the one that comes with a rebuild kit:

Quoted from cottonm4:I'd buy one of those.
Do that for Big Game and I would buy 2
i second that
Quoted from CPR:CAD just wrapping up on the Cheetah PF, should be cutting in a week or so. We're cutting Flight 2000 at the same time to take advantage of the reconfigure of the CNC table to wide body clamping positions and we should have some ready to print before Xmas..... don't think they'll fit in your stocking though lol

Quoted from TractorDoc:I just sent a Thank You e-mail to Stu at CPR.
He replied and mentioned that they only had seven or so printed for this first offering. He thinks they had about 15 playfields cut and should have more printed/available in the future (but did not give a time frame).
There is still hope for those that want one!
7 was definitely not a lot...

Quoted from emsrph:The upgrade that was planned since day one of my build has arrived!
How long are people letting their playfields cure nowadays?
[quoted image]
i am always backlogged with projects so mine cure 3-6 month minimum but CPR recommend 30 days minimum with 45 days better:

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:Sorry but after my QS backglass, I would like to avoid if possible. Plus I tried contacting him several times to place another order for an AS backglass & got zero responses on multiple attempts. He's likely overwhelmed with requests & his communication in the past has been lacking.
communication has always been hard with Stephen, make sure to follow this:
"Please Send any new request to [email protected]…. I do not monitor emails unless their threads where initiated from the [email protected]"
Quoted from HoakyPoaky:Did you install yours yet?
I guess that would be about 3 months of cure time on the first run
mine is still back at the clearcoat guy for "repair of issues"... i am gonna go through it with a fine comb when it finally arrives
Quoted from HoakyPoaky:It was damaged when you got it?
they didn't even send it out, got an email asking what i wanted to do since my PF had "issues" coming back from the clearcoat company. told them i am not in a hurry and they can just send it when it is fixed, that was a month ago and i haven't heard from them yet.
Quoted from HoakyPoaky:6) And speaking of more Cheetah playfields, the next batch of 20 is being clearcoated now, and should be in CPRs hands in approx 3-4 weeks. So if you missed out on the first run, keep an eye out soon when they go on sale.
yeah that's the batch my PF is with, well i have already 5 PF to swap and now in the middle of a very time intensive Barracora PF swap, everything needs work!

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:IDK how there can’t be a “double-stamp” blurry print error on inserts when these playfields are digitally printed. Problem with the digital art file? Just doesn’t make sense to me
keeping it close to the original they used that was silk-ed screened maybe? I assume they redraw all the fonts though so it's weird that they end up with double font printing at the end...?

Quoted from chuckwurt:I’m finally going to be a member of the club! My good friend I making me a scratch build of a black cabinet cheetah. Gonna be a while, but I can’t wait!
got the drop target bank from a F2K? 
Quoted from bluespin:Trident is a better option and already has 4(?) Memory coils and Cheetah needs 5(?).
no memory coil on F2K? I was thinking a wide body donor game would be easier

Quoted from slochar:Are you wiring the cap across the wires? That would be wrong. Compare your other switches with caps you will see the diode goes to one wire and the lug, the cap spans the other wire and the lug. The cap goes across neither the wires nor the diode.
thats how my Cheetah is wired too:
Quoted from chuckwurt:Assuming I did this right, the reading is 113.3 I put the leads on the tab attached to the tilt ring and the one off to the side like cottonm4 ’s pic shows how his cap is wired up. [quoted image]

Quoted from play_pinball:I’m trying to scratch build my Cheetah using an original (but semi-hacked up and tangled) harness and just trying to figure out the paths the harness should take. Can’t find any pics of an original harness mounted? I’ve had this playfield sitting up in work mode for WAY too long. Actually finished two other swaps in the time I’ve had it up.
[quoted image]
I am in the middle of doing a PF swap so i have a whole folder of tear down pictures if that is helpful:
