I'm hearing the plastic cover for the ramp is breaking so I sandwiched white rubber under the washers and above the plastic on these two screws maybe it will give it just enough flex and absorption so I don't have to buy another plastic! Worth a try I'd say, If mine breaks I'll let ya know.

Can’t hurt! That plastic is just begging for artwork while leaving ball path clear anyhow or some neon green acrylic or something. Good mod project
Quoted from beltking:I plan to do an le unboxing for my youtube channel. Hope soon.
What’s everyone’s predictions on when we will start hearing of LE’s shipping? Some time this week?

Marco has blue and green ready to go for it. But it doesn't say much about if there's extra strength.

Overseas finished last week, so domestic LEs should start shipping this week.

Few days. Normally hemispheres gets his first since he is close and picks up.
Just picked up a pro today from the fedex terminal. The guy driving the forklift said somebody was there a little before me who got the exact same thing. This was in Chester Spring, PA.
So my son and I were playing the game. I hit the spinner and drained shortly after. My son started his ball right after, but the spinner was still spinning and gave him points. Has anybody else seen anything like this?
Translite has a few blemishes and am missing the extra overlord plastic piece. Other than that, everything about the games is awesome so far. Gameplay, code, art, LCD art, etc... love it.
Did a quick fix to help the poor plastic from taking the full force of the ball hit. Installed some stainless on the top with a gel for some colour.

I made the mistake of putting a couple drops of Super Lube on the spinner. It really makes the New York mode hard to complete without van upgrades because the moving shot takes forever to settle down. I've never played a spinner that rips this fast!

According to the writer, doc Holliday actually says ….. Huckle bearer, which is a man that carries a casket to the grave.
I don’t know why, but I have felt like telling people ever since I watched the documentary.
Quoted from beltking:It would be cool too if maybe thicker clear plexi with FF in it.
Ask and you shall receive 
I’m going to try a goof around with a led under it to see how it looks with the logo lit up a bit and the inside slightly illuminated
Quoted from MikeS:I've never played a spinner that rips this fast!
Optical, no friction.
Quoted from dpadam450:Optical, no friction.
I've played other games with optical spinners but maybe it's just the placement being back center that helps it rip more than the others. I'm sure the Super lube has something to do with it too.

SuperLube + Opto = Crazy. I see the same on Bond with the opto spinner, with quick game changes registering still-spinning points.

Blemished translite? Haven’t heard that one before. Call your disto on this and anything else missing.
Quoted from Wizpin17:From those that have played premium. What are are thoughts vs pro? I played premium today and idk I feel like the ball doesn’t have much time up to score higher to warrant needing to upgrade.
Love my premium. The upper playfield is great, it's completely timing based but you can get 3-4 loops routinely once you get used to the shot. Dead post is awesome. 3D sculpt for Overlord looks great and the magnet underneath is cool. 3d Sculpt for Van also looks great.
Very happy I have a Premium.
Quoted from barakandl:My back glass had some kind of contamination that made the translight stick to the glass and make a spot. It's almost invisible when lit, but I might try and get another translight. [quoted image][quoted image]
Mine is similar to this. What manufacture date do you have? Mine is March 22nd.

I'll take one if you're selling

I’d take one if your making these
Quoted from swinks:Got my sample UFO and everything fits and will then paint up this week. I put it next to a playfield switch for a gauge of size and the resin will be lit with green leds.
Will be painted solid nylon, not a home print - am very happy with it so far.

Quoted from CRCades:Had a few hours this weekend and prototyped several features for the FF Tour Van! Lots more to come! This is going to look amazing in my LE once it arrives!!
The headlights are custom made abs rubber inserts into the grill to give it the look and feel of real headlights. Once the Van is painted and the interior parts installed you won’t see stray lights
this definitely isn’t the usual drill a hole, slap in an LED and call it a MOD.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Want!
Had a few double ball trough ejects lately. No apparent reason for it and possibly software causing it. Anyone else having any issues like this?
Quoted from king_pin:This gives me hope that maybe we'll get a post add-on for the pro. I'll investigate more but looks like a metal cover that could be removed to make way for the post.
All three models use the exact same playfield. Jack said he did it on purpose to save costs. So yes, there is a hole where the post goes on the Premium/LE, but don't think it is indicative of a post add on coming.

In development
Quoted from hiker2099:According to the writer, doc Holliday actually says ….. Huckle bearer, which is a man that carries a casket to the grave.
I don’t know why, but I have felt like telling people ever since I watched the documentary.
No, he doesn't. Not even close.
That scene was taken from the 1929 book Tombstone by Walter Burns. The movie is based on that book.
In the book, this is exactly how it's written:
"I'm your huckleberry", replied the cheerful doctor. "That's just my game". Again, that's from 1929.
And then there's the fact that "huckle bearer" didn't even exist until the 2000's, when someone made it up on the internet. Nobody was ever called one, because the idiom didn't exist. Can't be found in any literature or print prior to the last 15 or so years.
And then you consider that Val Kilmer himself has heard these rumors and stated he did NOT say "huckle bearer" either time, he said "Huckleberry".

I witnessed this argument in the past so had to post, not to get off topic but for what its worth.
Ok so I guess I’m making some of those ramp stainless plates now lol. Did not plan to go down that rabbit hole but if you want it I can’t say no.
Let me look into actually cutting a new acrylic plate that’s green or red that will go under the stainless instead of gust using the clear factory one with a gel.
And also if you’re interested in mine is essentially for the stainless look with the cut out logo. Other clear and tinted plates are already sold.

Please add me to the list. It looks so good.

Provided that is in the pro code (likely not) qnd does not need a node board….

Definitely interested in the stainless version of these. Or are you making them in plastic to sell?

Have you reported that to the bug fixes email or Jack or George?
