Did your replacement game coom in?

Not yet.....

I really don't look forward to having to take everything apart to get those installed.

I should have this Monday, but I'm pretty sure I can do it by just removing two screws from the ramp flap on the left ramp and then the two posts. I don't expect it to be TOO awful, but we'll see...

Cliffy Sim hole protectors.

So Cliff got a spare PF to fine tune these on? Sweet.

Looking forward to getting these Monday. They'll be on Dialed In right away. Both those holes are taking a beating.

Mine too. Got Titan rubbers I'm going to do at the same time. Hard to stop playing it till then.

Are Cliffys available right now?

Yes, send him an email.

What color did you go with for your titan bands?

I was going to try a different color, just didn't have time to decide and went w/ white. I think white looks good on this game anyway.

Done. Also got inlane cliffys to. Now I'm covered.

Got the Dialed In Cliffys installed. The SIM hole was worse than I thought once I got everything removed to add the protector. About 3/4 of the left side was chipped off already. Glad I didn't wait for whatever JJP is doing. Who knows what it would look like in another 2-4 weeks or more when they finally arrive?

Total install time was about 45 minutes for the shooter lane, SIM card hole and phone hole.

I'll just set the official ones aside when I get them.

Haven't look into it but how much did you have to take off to get to it..whole ramp?
I need to email Cliffy to order one

It was easy. Just the two screws at the flap, lift up the ramp and rest it on the QED guy's head. Much easier than I expected. You need a 1/4" wrench for the two posts on either side of the SIM card slot that are unscrewed from the top.

I have some pictures I took. I'll post them when I get them off the phone.

Thanks goodness. Looks like it would be a lot worse to install. I noticed my sim card hole left side has a "buck tooth" split under that metal guard as well. Hope isn't too bad.

When you get a ball stuck under the upper right flipper let me know. I think I have a fix but it would be much easier if Jack had one that he could just mail out.

Thanks!

Happened constantly until I put a piece of foam tape under it. Wouldn't mind a better solution though.

I'm going to cut a few pieces of mylar (credit to Khabbi: his idea) and form the mylar to fit the area. Then, I need to make sure it is thick enough so the ball rolls off the post and back into play. This idea has been throw around for about a month, I'm just too damn lazy to cut the mylar.

I hope to do this soon. Thanks for your response.

Posting pics would be great. I ordered the set from Cliff and they should be here Thursday. I also ordered inlane cliffys too. That will take a beating.

Yeah the inlane protectors are the generic ones. I already had those installed day one.

Got my call to send my money today. Thanks Joe PinballSTAR ! I can't wait for my DILE to arrive! Ordered as full set of Cliffys and the leg protectors as well. I'll order the mirror blades tomorrow. Already have the standard Polk subwoofer (Thanks @toasterdog!). I hope that it arrives soon!

Looks good. I just got my cliffy set in yesterday. I will install Mylar and then cliffys. Maybe overkill but I want it protected.

thanks for posting pics!!

Congrats! When did you order? (Just trying to figure out how long the wait line may be currently).

Yay its here.... well worth the wait. Game and build quality are top notch. This game really shines in home use and is very difficult especially when u take away all the eb and make magnets more active. 20170818_143221 (resized).jpg20170818_143253 (resized).jpg20170818_143259 (resized).jpg

Also full protection on sim hole...thanks cliffy. I have all them but the sim was most important for now bc i wanted to play lol. 20170817_213009 (resized).jpg

Also, do we have an update on when the protectors will be factory installed? Thanks!

By the way, with mine shipping on Monday, I should mention that I preordered in early December.

Is QED's lightening bolt meant to hit the ball on the wireform when he's all the way to the right? Sneaky little bastard.

Your lightning bolts are probably backwards he's not supposed to hit the ball. Try flipping them around.

Last I heard was the JJP first batch of Cliffy knockoffs had some issue and they pulled the installation/distribution of them. I wasn't waiting for the SIM hole to get any worse, so I just went with the Cliffys. I'm *guessing* that maybe the JJP ones had bounce outs at the phone hole? The hole is narrower than it looks because of the bevel, so when the protectors installed, it's like the KISS scoop for a while until the protectors get beaten a little bit. The SIM card hole has no difference with protection installed that I can tell.

Well worth the upgrade. I wouldn't play it even ONCE without at least a SIM hole protector installed. That left edge is REALLY prone to chipping.

As soon as I got word that I had my shipping date, I ordered from Cliffy. I felt like I should support him anyway.

I may do the same thing. I didn't really like the look of the 3 piece "cliffy" that JJP is sending (or not?) out. Cliffys' looks a lot better.

Cliffy's is also 3 pieces FYI

I got my cliffys yesterday. Don't forget guys to order inlane protectors as well. Both ramps drop the ball right on the inlane. Over time, that will get messed up for sure

Where is everyone purchasing the DI cliffy's from? I looked on passionforpinball.com and couldn't find them. I tried emailing Cliffy asking about them, but I never got a response.

yeah emailing him is the way to go. He stressed patience a few times in the email You can imagine how swamped he is being just one person' so go easy on him

Sounds good. I just wasn't sure if there was another place people were purchasing from, since I never saw them on the website.

Email is the way to go but he is slammed so expect a 3+ week wait at this point. EDIT: this is for Cliffy

Did anyone get the play field protector from the factory? Would that help with the SIM hole issue or would it just chip off all the same or chip under the protector? On that note did anyone get the upgraded side art?

They called off putting them on at the factory as there was some issue with the original design (?). I literally got a "it's on the way" email about the protectors, then another an hour later saying they pulled it, so never mind. It's also why they haven't sent them to the initial buyers to put on their machines. I think we're waiting for a revision of the JJP design before they put them on machines and send them out to buyers that already have their machine.

Should have said that was for Cliffy not the JJP factory, edited original post.

I doubt it. Super high quality, field tested for months, no need for Cliffys.

I would say just play it and not worry about it.

Go buy your ghosting Star Wars. I know u wish it had this.

Wow, that pic is super nasty. How many plays did that machine have on it to have THAT happen? Had to be a lot.

The Cliffy rollover protectors are universal and fit all the machines. They're in stock all the places that carry Cliffys and ship out right away. I got 8 of them from Little Shop of Games a while ago and just have them on hand to put on each machine that comes in the door first thing.

Yep most games with the drop on that spot tend to get damaged from my experience.. especially without mylar .

Question..... on the ramp diverter.... how far does everyone's go down at the lowest point? Mine seems a tad high and when diverted it hits very high and almost the spotlight..... if super hard it flys lol.
