Stern, 2023Quoted from fooflighter:Try a small drop of super lube on your spinner and raise to 7.0 degrees

It’s not a spinner issue, it just if I didn’t have enough speed to go all the way around, and it comes back. But like I said, that’s just one example, I’m losing like 90% of my shots sdtm. Rarely is it an outside lane.

But that's just it, with the super lube, the ball will go through easier and with less resistance, and may have the energy to get through and around, also the higher grade pitch angle will generally give more return flow shot energy again helping with not stopping short in the spinner area

I just used that one shot as an example, it feels like it’s 5-6 shots do it. I guess it’s just my pin. None of my other 12 are like this. I’m sorry I brought it up. I’m glad nobody else’s is like this.
Lol are we starting to enter the early phase of deliveries with a bunch of posts about drains from half ramp shots and other missed shots before it settles down and people remember that all machines have at least one or two dangerous areas where drains are likely if you don't make the shot?

How did you level it, left to right? With an actual bubble level, or an app? The apps can be off. If you put a pinball on the seam between the lockdown bar and glass, right in front of the action button, does it stay put? Or does it drift right or left?
If the above checks out, stick a square tool or the edge of a long ruler on the playfield directly, left to right and see if it is flat. Stern has had issues in the recent past with concave or convex playfields. Best to rule that out, too.

I don't think the Pro is overly drainy down the middle.
Quoted from Herkbubba:Not sure where to put this…
People have been looking for artwork / I stumbled op upon this searching the interwebz

Nice , I never tried that with the ball on the lockdown .Thanks PM !
Quoted from Kolk1:I have a digital level that shows degrees down to 0.00 and I place it on the playfield, not on the glass
Similar to this, different brand, I can’t remember. It’s about 10inchs long and red lol

Setup on a new machine is usually a process, not a light switch. Small changes to pitch and flipper power can make a big difference in how the game plays for you.
Best thing to do is make sure it's level side to side both near the flippers and further up the playfield (so up near the spinner on Foo). Then play it for a few days to a week and make any changes to pitch and/or flipper power if you want. And keep repeating that until you find a combination of pitch & flipper power settings where you're happy with how it's playing.
Quoted from beltking:Cool I’ll order a 16x24 is that what you have? Original was 18x24
Yep, 16x24. Looks decent enough to me. Would love to have an original but it is what it is.
They also have this one
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1403702221/foo-fighters-2018-poster-home-decor
Simple frames are available for $25 at Target.
I think the two will look nice either side of my 2nd run Premium - I reckon I’ll get it in Aug or so.

I got this one off Redbubble 23.4 x 32.5
Good paper glossy finish, nice color saturation...not too pixelated...looks great from 2 or more feet away. I put in under non-glare acrylic and it looks perfect
Would love to have the original but they're not for sale ATM

That one looks good. I need an 18x24 exact, I've found a few (repros of course, not originals), but I haven't decided on which one I want.

Someone at Stern having a bad day stapling boxes? Looks like they did yours twice...

What number did you get? Looks
Like 226
Quoted from ktcoady12:dang- good for you - hopefully us middle class folk will be seeing our Premiums in May- Can't wait- its my first Stern Premium- I played the pro on location and it blew me away
My first premium too!!!
For those of you that are anxious about when you will get yours, spare a thought for the overseas crowd. I'm hoping for June when mine lands but who knows.
Officially in the club!
Got it from Aaron at San Diego Amusements SDAmusements and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I could not recommend a distributor more.

Won Bond 60th from project pinball. Way too much for me. Better lucky than good!

That’s nice. The one from the LE is the one I was looking for but had zero luck. Found the highest quality pick I could. Guess I’ll just be making my own and it will have to do.

He is the first! Need pics for the rest of the tortured.
Pinsider TroyS made these speaker inserts for me, excuse the rush game, our ff has not yet arrived. Great quality, excellent packaging. Also made coin buttons and a nice key chain I haven't installed yet.

Is he selling these ?

JoeBob you can’t tease us like this. Let’s see some photos of the LE at least! Are you driving back from Chicago?
Quoted from Kkoss24:Is he selling these ?
Yes, and anything else you want. Good design guy, we just texted back and forth. The elvira webs are off the charts cool!!
Does anyone know if pins get delivered on Saturdays or just weekdays ? Not a question for a friend ,but rather myself

Nice. That’s how I’m getting my foo fighter pro. Waiting for patiently for June run. Love that charity and all they do.

Depends on your local carrier. Some here do Sat, most do not.
Quoted from heyitsjoebob:Sorry gents, Evansville to Cincinnati is a long drive, and my basement is hard to get pins down into!
226 is home safe and perfect!

Does it look like they fixed the plastics that were cracking?
Freight comes weekdays. It’s possibly to pay extra for Saturday but ask distributor. Probably not worth it. Maybe local hub is close so you can pickup.

Man I couldn’t wait to see a cell phone picture as they capture more of the “in person “ look .Shit that looks incredible ! I’m soooooo exited to have landed a LE last minute

It can depend on lift-gate availability too. My Foo Pro got to the local freight hub on a Wednesday evening but they didn't have a truck available with a lift gate until the following Tuesday due to other deliveries and schedules. Needless to say I drove the 30 minutes to the hub and picked it up the next morning.

Thanks ,I’m praying by Saturday

That ramp plastic that's been breaking on everyone sure looks thicker to me from what I can tell!
Quoted from Kolk1:Off the top of my head, the spinner from the left side of the space ship. If it doesn’t do the full loop, it drains. Just seems like 90% of my drains are straight down the middle. Not outside lanes.
It’s level and set to a 6.5 angle. I guess I suck, but none of my other games go sdtm this often. Yes they all occasionally, but this is rough. Only reason I thought I’d add one. Maybe I’ll just set it to 10 ball with 30 second ball saves lol
Give the game a nudge when the ball is about to come back down passed the spinner. Try to make the ball hit the rail sides of the spinner lane and that should keep it from coming back sdtm.
