Quoted from Only_Pinball:

Wow. That sucks for sure. My issue list is much smaller. The LED on my lockdown bar button doesn't light (Stern sending a new assembly and cabinet none board) and my shooter lane switch was too low and very loose. Ball wasn't making the switch so the control gate wasn't opening for super skill shot attempt. Super easy fix.
I hope you get your parts quick and get your game to 100%. The quality control does suck but once dialed in you should be good to go. Definitely worth the effort for such a fun game.

Thanks for sharing this! I

Quoted from Utesichiban:

So you got a hold of someone at Stern? I sent 3 emails last week with no response.

My distributor is trying to figure things out but I'm finding it difficult working with a middle person to get things addressed. I still have my node board in Elvira from my JP so my JP is currently down. Even though Elvira flippers work now (with my JP board), GI lights under both slings iare out and the house doesn't hold the ball when starting up a mode.
What the hell do I have to do to get Stern to help me?

Does lenticular mean upside down

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

Take the 2 screws out of the bottom of the ship
[quoted image]
Remove two more screws and remove the board and guts. I bought an extra ship incase I can figure out how to just use the lights built into this ship. There is a momentary contact switch and I have not figured out how to bypass the logic in the board
[quoted image]
Trim some of the ship guts out to give a bit more room.
[quoted image]
Then I drilled a small hole and trimmed a bit towards the back so the wire can come through the ship
[quoted image]
Wrap the light strip around the center, the clear plastic acts like a light pipe so have the lights facing the clear plastic. Plug in wire extender
[quoted image]
Add music wire , I installed mine like this.
[quoted image]
[quoted image]
[quoted image]
Put ship back together. You can use the battery supply to check the lights you just put in
[quoted image]
Bend wire and make a eyelet to mount
[quoted image]
With the light kit you get a bulb base you can use, so remove the upper right bulb and insert harness. Then mount to the screw on the back wall. A little bend here or there to get the pitch and angle of choice and that is it. I also used a black magic marker to color the red wire and the music wire. Whats next?
[quoted image]
Finished product and it only cost about $25

Quoted from Only_Pinball:

I actually went through my dealer and he was able to get Stern to address my issue right away. He then forwarded the stuff Stern asked me to troubleshoot. When that didn't solve the issue they shipped the parts. Hope you get to the bottom of your issues quick!

Quoted from Utesichiban:

Ok, thanks. My dealer is working on the same thing. I guess that is how Stern is handling everything now.
I don't agree with it as it actually makes communication and timely resolution more difficult (tech support shouldn't include middle people) but it is what it is. They must not know what the issue is because this is moving at a snails pace and my damn JP is down now until I get a replacement board.

Quoted from Mageek:

Does lenticular mean upside down ?

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

I don't even bother reaching my Dist. It seems like a waste of time, unless it is something major maybe? did not have to go this route yet.
On another note, did anybody replaced speakers on a premium? I like the music and callouts of this game enough for me to update the sound system, but do not want to throw money down the drain if there are no improvements.
I am not looking at installing an updated pin woofer or similar, I just want a straight up speaker replacement...
has anyone tried this?

Quoted from Utesichiban:

A Stern tech did just get back to me and already uncovered something with the lights I didn't catch. I'm feeling better now the fix may not be that bad I Elvira will be up and running soon.

Great mod!! My wife gave the ok to do it. Love it! Thank you for posting it!!

Quoted from WombatPinball:

Anybody had issues with the crypt regarding the screw that connects to the motor?

Quoted from eharan:

I had that issue. Screw loosened up and the crypt would not close properly. I tightened the screw and everything working again. Easy fix but hard to believe it came loose after 10 plays!

Added a small piece of the soft side of velcro to the subway. Ball sticks 100% now.

Quoted from Only_Pinball:

Say what!? It's been over an hour.
HURRY UP!

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

Sorry for the late update. 05/14/2021 build date. So far everything works great. Only thing is topper (possibly). It doesn’t scream during attract mode at all. Not sure when it comes on during game.
Coil works to open the lid during test mode. Those with topper, what is your settings at? Mods, side armor, art blades will be put on tomorrow.
No cabinet damage to report either.
Can’t believe it’s here. Going to eat and then play some more. Hasn’t sunk in its here yet. Appreciate everyone’s support and excitement. Definitely helped me to get through the 7 month wait.

Came on during wild woman multiball at the beginning when my daughter played. She didn’t do so hot on it lol. Glad I got the topper, looks amazing. Just waiting for my pinnovators sub kit to arrive to add my Polk subwoofer.
