Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

I have the perfect paint, but not at home right now to see exactly what it is (I think a black gloss in a can that is brush applied). I thought I've posted it in this thread before, but can't seem to find it. Unfortunately, I won't be home for a couple of days, but if I remember I'll post when I can. I do remember I bought it at Lowe's or Home Depot in a quart can.
UPDATE:
Just searched through all of my PMs and found it - bought it at Lowes.

Quoted from Da-Shaker:

Cool, thx. I was hoping to get a head start. I’ll start reviewing the forum.

Quoted from Da-Shaker:

Finally received my game and I was able to fix the super charger the same day. I got the ball spinning to 92 on the SC speed test. The middle opto was out, the track needed cleaning, a touch of 3in1 and added new balls

Quoted from Walamab:

Hello again everyone. I've got a significant request for the GI on my HS2 build. So, if it is too much, feel free to ignore it.
I'm hoping someone would be kind enough to run the GI test on their machine and take a couple of pictures of the playfield with individual playfield strings on full (8). I think this will be an easier way to determine what lamps are wired to which strings.
Your help is appreciated!

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

Has anyone gone with orange rings/posts on their Getaway? I'm about to start on my playfield swap (we'll, a local pinball friend will be taking the lead), and I'm thinking orange would look really good and go with the orange on the plastics & playfield. If you have done orange rings/flipper rubbers, can you please post some pics?

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

Thanks, that's a really clean game. Not exactly what I'm thinking of doing, but the orange posts and flipper rubbers do give me a good visual. My plan is to go with clear posts and orange rings/rubbers.
I've done red posts with clear rings and clear posts with red rings in the past, and just looking for something that pops a little more with the new playfield. The oranges in this game look great IMO, so I'm thinking the orange bands would really add to the look.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

I saw an Easter Egg for Getaway here for the first time: https://arcarc.xmission.com/Pinball/Easter%20Eggs/CowsEaster.htm
"Hello World: With the ball in the shooter lane, press the following sequence: 3L, 1R, 3L, 1R, 3L, 2R"
However, when I try it nothing happens (running L2). Does this do anything for anyone else?

Quoted from jrcmlc:

It didn't work for me either on L2

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

Okay, I just tried these and they all worked, and I had to do it with the first ball of a new game in the shooter lane.

Quoted from playcubeman:

Hello, on a friend's pinball machine. The ball if arriving fast passes above the rod to lock mutliball.All works well at calm speed.
What should you see?

Quoted from golfergordy:

Here are pics regarding my previous post on my fix for the problem with the disappearing post. The piece of interest in the pics is the brown piece of what I called plastic in my previous post, as well as here (but I don't think it's really plastic). In one pic showing the entire disappearing post (DP) coil assembly mounted in its correct position, see the 1/8" thick piece of plastic squeezed between the end of the coil ass'y stop bracket and the underside of the pf. Another pic shows this piece closeup. The other 2-pics show the coil & mounting bracket ass'y removed from the pf underside, and shows the brown square plastic piece which is glued to the outer end of the coil ass'y stop bracket. The hole in the plastic is of smaller diameter than the hole in the stop bracket, and therefore reduces the amount of horizontal wiggle in the post as it travels up & down. Prior to installing this piece of plastic, the DP used to rub against something as it traveled up & down and would often hang up and not travel far enough, but inserting the plastic piece reduced the DP's amount of horizontal wiggle which eliminated the hanging up of the post, and it has worked flawlessly ever since (2-years).
