Quoted from Artax:

This isn't specific to FF, but my shaker motor has already started having this low volume, but high pitch squeal when it is winding down slowly. I have tried 3 in1 oil, that helped for about half a game. Anyone know the trick to stop the annoying squeal??

Shaker squeaks annoy me too. I've tried everything.....spraying contact cleaner, running motors in alcohol to super clean them, lubricating with silicone, gun oil, etc.....I haven't been able to "fix" a shaker once it squeaks (and brand new ones can squeak). From what I understand....its just the sealed ball bearings ..which...since sealed....we can't lubricate if they start squeaking. So, I've either lived with it, or just bought replacement motors and switched them out (which isnt hard to do).

Quoted from MikeS:

Has anyone tries one of these or know how it works in terms of reducing shaker squeaks?

What the heck? At first I thought that was a april fools joke or something...but its a real product! I wonder what it actually does to eliminate shaker squeak though? (and so cheap!)

Too bad just for stern spike though...I've had squeak on other manufacturers like CGC...

Just got my LE shipping notification! (from stern direct insider purchase). Whats interesting...is that it actually shipped out 2 days ago and is set to arrive tomorrow locally.

Quoted from Svenop:

I skipped the post under the upper. Don't really see it back under there. Skipped the post connected to the shooter lane guide, mine shoots nicely so I don't want to mess with that one. Just need to do the Overlord bands. Anyone have tips for the easiest Overlord removal to get the bands?

Just replaced all of the rubber in mine with Titan. GZ was trivial, CCrLE was a big pain (near complete playfield teardown and wasn't easy). FF...would be trivial except for those 2 darn post sleeves for shooter lane and UFO loop. But...thinking back now, compared to CCrLE, would much rather do FF.

Anyway, for overland bands...its actually easy. I think its one locknut behind the overlord sculpt, then twist him and can be pulled out easy. Then, go to the bottom flat plastic, and I think its 3 locknuts....whole plastic with the bracket comes off (don't need to remove black metal bracket at all).

Great code update, but just to add another complaint so stern sees.....they have got to shut the footbot up a bit. A little is great but they kicked it into overdrive. No, I don't need to know about every super spinner update and 10 other minor code bits. Callouts should be for major items.
