The stern guys said the playfield issue hadn't been fixed yet when we were at the factory last week, so dates are largely irrelevant until we hear them say it's fixed. Latest guess has it the new play fields will arrive in November as a few folks have been told new play fields to replace duff ones will be delivered in November.

#1442 7 years ago
Quoted from stpcore:

Which "Stern guys" are you talking about?

I asked three different guys (senior guys!) who were leading the tours, no I won't name them but several people on the tour I was on can attest to this.

I specifically wanted to see if they all said the same thing - which they did, they are aware of the play field issues, its got lots of focus in stern it isn't fixed yet; but will be soon and they will start replacements on GB first and other tables in the new year.

Neil.

Quoted from golfingdad1:

I haven't seen or heard of any ghosting on any GB premium made after Late September.
I'm surprised that someone would actually say that on a tour .

i hear a bell ringing!

"WE GOT ONE!"

LOL

regards,
Neil.

#1450 7 years ago
Quoted from HOOKED:

I believe my game may have been one of those that have had the PF replaced. First I have no issues...Second my cabinet was dated late Aug...Third my ship date was 10-14. I would not understand why they would hold a finished game 7 weeks unless it was swapped but time will tell. My pf was hand written 260's and my game is 500 of 500 LE.

Give. It's an LE I'd say that's not outside the realms of possibility and it would be nice to know that stern focused on the LEs first - What's the date on the PF?

For the record my premium is dated August and hasn't got any issues yet but I'm predicting I get them. Also no issues with subway, launch mech or slimer in fact - no issues at all so far! Minor nit is thati have the LE apron stickers but I can live with that.

#1451 7 years ago

Thanks for sharing have you done anything with the foam at the librarian scoop? That the other area that generates air balls.

#1467 7 years ago

i'd be pushing for a new machine if that was mine, thats only going to get a lot worse.

#1468 7 years ago
Quoted from Hdmike444:

Yes I tried that several times and also tried re-doing the code but nothings working

Ive had this but only once - how often are you seeing it? I put it down to buggy code...

Quoted from ExtremePinball:

Adjusted target springs about 10 coils in since day one. Currently just past 10,000 plays and no target failure or defects.

would be good to get some feedback on the areas the machine has after this number of plays, anything that might be worth doing as preventative...

thanks,
neil.

anyone had slimer not move down on premium? had it a couple of times now - activate slimer, drain, slimer swings back, new ball, slimer music and DMD mode but slimer not moving from his home position? original code.

#2083 7 years ago
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

Thank you very much! One kind word, makes all the work worthwhile!

Of course! I have always enjoyed shipping almost anywhere in the world.
I need to test pack and weigh, but I am hoping/believing, shipping overseas to be between $5-$8
more...

i'll take one please

stern never say that there is no more code coming. I asked on the first SW stream on Dead_Flip and didn't get a response!

#3925 6 years ago
Quoted from conserx:

I picked up a new in box GB Pro in December 2017 (July 2017 prod run)
The air balls were quite ridiculous as everyone here knows (Why Stern/Trudeau went with the straight angled target bracket is beyond me).
I switched out both left ramp standup targets with this type & the air balls have been pretty much eliminated:

did you swap the whole thing?

#3930 5 years ago
Quoted from swinks:

hey conserx check out the link below
https://www.shapeways.com/marketplace?q=swinksgb&sort=newest
everything is made at Shapeways and charge $15USD to Aus

Ive got these to install also.

I'm kind of hoping that once these are in I can take of the PET airball deflector as it looks pants.

Neil.

#3931 5 years ago

installing mine this week (one today and one when the other one turns up as I forgot to order two!). Will give feedback.

#3941 5 years ago
Quoted from ArcadiusMaximus:

So installed my Swinks brackets the other day. And had plenty of shots ( bricks mostly ) to the stand ups. Not even a hop from the ball ! Trust in Swinks. Put those brackets in and get that ugly piece of plastic out ! Best "mod" you can buy.

me too, they are brilliant - taking that annoying plastic airball protector off makes the game flow so much better.

#3943 5 years ago
Quoted from swinks:

great to hear, thanks for the feedback.

thanks for going to the effort of making them.
