Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

Okay, guess I'm just too stupid to make it work right. No matter what I do, I cannot get the rails to engage unless I do it like I show in my video. At this point, I don't know if I have rail issues or me issues. Giving up for now, as long as it works my way when I need it to I'll be okay. If I get some time in the future, I'll shoot a video inside to see if I can figure out what is going on.

Quoted from VolunteerPin:

Update: the metal guide which has been chrome plated has a small "lip" right the the end of the ramp which you can feel with your hand. This is diverting the ball. I tried using a file to file it down but I'm not sure if that will end up working. I think it may not or if it did, it will take A LOT of filing. The star post behind there looks like part of a lighting mod possibly as there is an LED strip in that area and a small LED that is in both star posts on either side of the stand ups right there. I'm trying to decide if I should uninstall a bunch of stuff and try to get to that area or just leave as is. Just looking at it I don't think moving the guide slightly to the left is possible or even if it would solve the issue.
Right now right orbit shots go consistently to the right flipper and can usually be dead-bounced back over to the left flipper. Maybe that is not the biggest deal in the world.
Any thoughts?

Quoted from chubtoad13:

I would definitely pull the ball guide and make sure the ball can go down to the left flipper. If there is a lip at the end, like you’re saying, I would file it down until it’s gone.
If the ball isn’t returning to the correct flipper you’re going to miss out on the flow that everyone loves

Quoted from VolunteerPin:

I'd never played a Getaway until SFGE last summer. Played more Getaway than anything else there because there were like 3 there and was the easiest to play without waiting. I realized then that there is a HUGE difference in the amount of fun that can be had on this pin if one is in excellent condition vs. average.

Quoted from bluespin:

volunteerpin Out of curiosity, which of the three Getaways at last year's SFGE did you feel was the best condition; the one near the middle of the room on the end of the row, the one against the middle of the wall, or the one with the flasher mods over in the corner next to the Black Hole and Pinbot?

Quoted from VolunteerPin:

I don't think there is any guessing on the lip. I can do a video in the next day or so. Even slow rollers get pushed to the right at the very end of the guide. I think the issue is that when the guide was chromed, the tip of the guide is not at all smooth. It is almost like metal that was cut but not cleanly. The whole end of that guide if rough to your fingers and clearly is poking out into the lane enough to change the trajectory of the ball. Now, whether or not that is the entire issue, I'm not sure.

At least right now the ball consistently ends up on the right flipper. One fear I do have is if I file it down and then the ball is still pushed a little but ends up always going STDM. (My SMVE has an issue like that but I think on that the issue is a small o-ring protruding slightly and I need to address that at some point too, but that is a different matter for a different thread).

Maybe the best thing to do would be to uninstall and actually get an actual belt sander or wheel on it to make the whole end smooth and then also see if I can adjust the position of the guide slightly to the left if still needed.

Well, my supercharger has taken a dump. Game started up with a credit dot, and supercharger no workie. Popped the PF, reseated connectors, gave it a try. Worked in test, and worked once in game but after that nothing. I’m looking straight at those supercharger boards under the PF... anyplace else I should be looking?

Quoted from SUPERBEE:

Did you check the fuses

Quoted from gunstarhero:

Accelerator board is FILTHY and has what looks to be some corrosion so this is gonna be fun.

Quoted from SUPERBEE:

Start with the accelerator board. Are you getting power ? Any leds on the board lit ? Did you check the fuses ? Check connectors j116/j117/j118 and make sure they are seated properly.

Quoted from SUPERBEE:

Check fuse F103

Quoted from SUPERBEE:

I recently did a playfield swap on my Getaway and looking to sell the original. I really didnt need a new playfield but did a full on restore of the pin and decided i wanted a new one to put it over the top and the original is in rather good shape for an old playfield. Typical ball trails and slight (very slight) insert lifting but no real wear except for where the supercharger ramp flap sits which is typical. This playfield would be a fairly easy restore if some wanted to and then clear or if you have blown out playfield you could actually just swap.
Looking for $300.00. Would much rather sell local and not ship. PM me or Text me at 416-992-7442 if interested. I dont want to post on the marketplace as i want to sell local but i will certainly donate the appropriate funds to pinside if it sells here. Im going to Allentown so i can bring it if that works. Its $300.00 Canadian funds or $250.00 American funds.

Quoted from tctx02:

A big thanks for all the playfield slide rail discussions. I had previously purchased replacement rails as my playfield wouldn't slide well and lifting it was a challenge. My original rails were completely bent up and the springs were gone. After the pics and videos posted, I went ahead and swapped out both slide rails and everything clicks in place as expected and it stays in the up position without worry of it dropping.

Where is the best place to buy some new decals?

Quoted from Kobaja:

here: http://www.avo-pinball.de/shop/gehaeuse-decals/wpc/the-getaway-highspeed-ii-gehaeuse-decal-set/
Screen printed with original "neon" red. I missed to buy those at the time but, after having seen them would NEVER buy others. you actually DO get what you pay for.

Quoted from gunstarhero:

Pretty sure Planetary Pinball has those same decals listed for $225.

Quoted from Kawydud:

If you want to bring this playfield to Allentown and put it in our booth, you are more than welcome to try and sell it.

Quoted from SUPERBEE:

Much appreciated. I will take you up on that if i dont get it sold by then. Whats your booth name ?

Quoted from pinballjah:

Does anyone sell the target stickers? Thanks.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

You can make your own or PM me and I'll make and sell to you. I've made sets for multiple Getaway owners and they can chime in if they like them or not.

That's an interesting placement for the traffic light, did you move it back or was it there when you got the pin?
