Hey everyone - hopefully picking up a GB pro soon, no mods added to it. wondering if there are mods I just need to have for this pin. I’m thinking the lane guards and the airball protector for sure - anyone else have mods for this pin in their “must have” list? (Example: shaker motor, etc)
Thanks!
Quoted from freddy:Shaker!
Quoted from freddy:Skill shot mirror is a big plus.
I’ll add both to the list! Where do you pick up a shaker motor or the mirror?

Dude is that a pro? That looks AMAZING! Where did you get the tmolding?
Had some bad paint reactions so had to sand this down and do several touchups. Bleh, it's not a customers though it's mine, I can deal with imperfections.
My friend said he'd print a few more of these, what would these be worth to people if we did a run of 3-5. Unpainted kit or finished. I'm adding several things to this

targets either side of the ramp entry will give alot of airballs - 2 options are:
- perspex airball guard above the targets
or
- upgrade the target brackets to be raised and tilted

Most if not all ghost catching screens have text that have blues scattered through them. Also some screens in back off man same issues. I did also notice a slimer screen with no color but cannot recall what mode or what was happening in the game so cannot duplicate it atm. I suppose my question is does anyone else experience this and therefore it's a Colordmd software issue or do I have a hardware issue? Would reseating specific plugs help?
Quoted from Dmod:The striping on the ghost catching screens for the LED is a known issue and we will be issuing a fix. Have not seen the slimer screen without color.
Will this fix include making the river of slime pink instead of green? Looking forward to the update!
Quoted from miga:Yes, as long as the “additional” resources know the game and know what’s wrong with it. !
I can see Dwight acting as a project manager for the update and providing guidance to the team about what needs to be addressed.

Thank you, I was concerned the issue was brought on by me. Unfortunately the slimer animation happened during a multiball and a game in which I got to the final wizard mode. I thought it was during the back off man mode but with the glass off I could not duplicate it. So I cannot tell you where it occurred except the screen was of the full slimer torso turning side to side. I will continue to look out for it and hopefully take note of the mode/area it occurs.
Quoted from UrethraFranklin:polyprint
http://www.polyprinter.com/polyprinter-229/
I have seen a LOT of printers out there. PLA printers can range from $200-$1200 or more, but the results are usually the same. The resolution on these printers is AMAZING and it's ABS so it's a little stronger.
The basic one is 9x9x9 which is big enough for most people.
I don't know your situation. But, if you are looking for a large(r) format printer that can print items about twice the size, has the same resolution and is about a quarter the price of the PolyPrinter 229, you might take a look at the Tronxy X5ST-500-2E. You can get them delivered for less than $750.
Just an FYI.
Quoted from Dmod:The striping on the ghost catching screens for the LED is a known issue and we will be issuing a fix. Have not seen the slimer screen without color.
Can you confirm that the 'Tournament Play' related screens are on the 'to be colorized' list. There is currently no color on these screens.
Regarding this slime river, I like the visualization of the green but would like a pink option. Assuming that the pink is in the works, it would be great if there could be separate ROM option for each.
Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know if I can order just the large plastic piece for the reverse hanging center post. Pinball Life's kit has a whole kit; IE: with the green slime plastics etc... which my GB LE came with.
If it is not available would someone have a scan or outline file so that I can CNC one myself? This outline and one for the flyball protector for the left ramp (2 standup targets) would be great!
Probably a dumb question but since I'm still learning and not that pinball or electronically savvy, was wondering if you guys might know the answer.
I was thinking of buying a led ghostbusters sign to try to use as a small topper. The problem is how to connect the sign to the game so it comes on/off with the game.
The sign has the option of a usb or standard two prong electric connector. How would something like this be altered to work and plug into the game? Guessing plugging the usb into the usb slots in the backboard either wouldn't work and/or be a good idea, right?
Any insight is very much apprecisted.

For the center post mod, its all separate pieces. So you don't have to install the actual center post and just have the lane hopping overhead piece installed.

My leg Lights look great on the game. I have red on mine others have put green on theirs.

I was hoping to not have to purchase the lot, just to use the largest piece. I already have a small post for it as well.
No real rush but I think that I'd like the option to save SDTM balls.
Quoted from freddy:Skill shot mirror is a big plus.
I never understood the need for this. I feel the stock one reflects it just fine and I didnt want to block the city backdrop.
I’ve always thought they should have put the P insert (in PKE) upside down so that it reads correctly when it reflects off the plastic.

Or backwards.

Someone years back this guy was selling wedges for the targets by the ramp that cause the airballs. Installing those virtually eliminated airballs on my machine. That and shooter lane protectors are your best bet..

Quoted from billsfanmd:Cheapest place to buy boards? Need to replace one of the larger led boards under pf. Marco is like 140.[quoted image]
Just wondering if you are having issues with the LED's on that board? I had that issue on I believe the same board and reflowed the solder which fixed it.
Quoted from Rager170:I never understood the need for this. I feel the stock one reflects it just fine and I didnt want to block the city backdrop.
Agreed. I installed one and soon switched back to stock. Anyone want the mirror version?
Quoted from Spelunk71:Agreed. I installed one and soon switched back to stock. Anyone want the mirror version?
I think I may have even bought one way back just in case but realized I never needed it.. ha
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Just wondering if you are having issues with the LED's on that board? I had that issue on I believe the same board and reflowed the solder which fixed it.
The top 3 lanes do not light. Tested a friends board and they worked fine
What did you reflow? Thx
Will the mirror work out on a premium/le? I think the slimer is more in my way up there than anything else, but I hadn't considered the mirror.
Quoted from yzfguy:Will the mirror work out on a premium/le? I think the sooner is more in my way up there than anything else, but I hadn't considered the mirror.
Try without it. As some mentioned, we didnt feel its needed and blocks the city backdrop.
We all saw the Dwight interview...he wanted to fix GOT way more than GB. He thought GB was in decent shape.

When was the last Munsters update? Not that it would be the same, but maybe the difference between the last Munsters update and now with the GOT update could be an estimate for the time it takes between the GOT update and GB update. This assumes a lot of course, but what else is there to sit and think about?
Quoted from desertT1:but what else is there to sit and think about?
Have ya seen the Please Delete thread ? 
Quoted from JodyG:We all saw the Dwight interview...he wanted to fix GOT way more than GB. He thought GB was in decent shape.
Probably why "additional resources" have been put on GB code, now it makes sense with Dwight working on GOT code.
Quoted from marspinball:Are Stern Ghostbuster toppers still available anywhere?? Can't seem to locate one..
Thanks, Martin
GL most if not all distributors are sold out.
Quoted from freddy:GL most if not all distributors are sold out.
Has anyone shared pics of the inards? It doesn't look that fancy for the price, is there a special PCB/control board in there?
