For those that recently got a GB, check to make sure that these service bulletins were taken care of for Node boards 8 & 9. Marco has these kits. I did mine tonight. There's a power extension with a capacitor that needs to be installed and a spacer put in place with a zip tie for the D9 diode stability. I know that early on there were node board issues, but I don't know if these really resolved the issues. I had a spare kit and installed them anyway.

Stern will give you those for free.. Not sure if Marco had you pay for them.
Quoted from evileye:Yeah I got those for free too. I didn’t use the zip tie method though, at the recommendation of teddyb73 I hot glued that diode instead.
Id bet there are a bunch of ways to keep that diode in place. It just needs to be supported.
Funny enough, a year ago, my Node Board died. Could had sworn that I installed the service bulletin stuff as I remembered exactly what they looked like.
I ended up finding them in their original bag inside the cabinet never installed! lol Whoops!
Ok just finished the first kit , getting ready to go out . This is for the drop targets . The only thing I couldn’t source was the Scoleri bro’s decals . I added 2 Purple and 2 white comet leds , zip ties , 2 light sockets with connectors for easy removal to work on drop mechs and I also added the spring kit fix as well . Not sure what I’m going to price these for yet , but thinking around $80 shipped in the states I still Need to do a photo and instruction sheet . If anyone is interested please pm me .

Just throwing a quick question out there.
I got a new Premium less than a year ago and it was working great for awhile, then all the service buttons and volume buttons stopped working one day a few months ago and I haven't been able to get them to function since.
mbelofsky came to my rescue on here and he's been extremely kind to help me walk me through some of the diagnostics. I've tried various attempts at jumping the pins at the Service Panel, the Coin Interlock Board, and all the way up to CN 25 on the CPU but no luck. We reached out to Stern and they're saying if all the attempts to jump pins are unsuccessful, then that probably means I'd need to replace the CPU.
Before going down that road, I just wanted to post this again to the hive mind, in case anyone had any similar bugs or has any suggestions to try.
Thanks! G
Those scolari brothers look cool, but is it just lit up or will it pulse when they are under the playfield, would be a cool effect that they are living under there waiting to pop up.
What are the opinions on Color DMD versus keeping it stock? Do the colors enhance your game or do you like it pure?

Colordmd rocks, especially on GB

No brainer upgrade for this title. Love it.

Agree with everyone else, must have

We just put one on ours and love it. Does nothing to enhance gameplay but looks awesome! Have not played cross the streams yet.

OK. Understanding the LCD vs LED debate which did everyone choose? Any pictures to share?
Quoted from Karl_Hungus:OK. Understanding the LCD vs LED debate which did everyone choose? Any pictures to share?
We chose LCD. The only photo I have at the moment. I am sure some other pinsiders will help out with a few photos.
FB_IMG_1595790621984 (resized).jpgLook there is no right or wrong here, LCD or LED. I like the LED, black is black and colors are beautiful. I do not mind I do not have other modes. I like pixels, I like the look and feel. Also like the perfect fit of the LED versus the LCD. But again if you fancy all the modes, you can go with LCD.
I like how the LCD can still look stock from the outside, but I am battling my OCD and knowing it is not a perfect fit inside. Welcome to my warped mind.

Color DMD can supply a foam gasket that will solve your OCD. PinMonk developed them and they are awesome! We have the gasket on GB and TWD. They work great.

Was going to post just that.
I have the LCD and foam gasket. It's great.

I’m gonna get shammed for this but my ghostbusters is my only machine out of 5 that’s an lcd and I run it in dots xl and wish it was an led.
Quoted from SKWilson:My LCD ColorDMD is arriving tomorrow!
You will love it. We held out for ages.. just could not resist!
I have the LCD which I like, as others have said, you get different options for how the display looks. But something to note for GB, I cannot run it on Hi Res as it has so much blur.. XL Dots or Dots seems to be the best fit for GB.
I use LCD on all my games, I'm just not a fan of the jumbotron look. Glad you found something that you like though!
Shared this in the GB topper thread but thought it may interest some people here as well...

What am I looking at here?
Quoted from Rager170:What am I looking at here?
DIY light bar topper that functions the same as the factory one.
Does anyone have a picture of the mylar on the right orbit? I have examined the area and I don't see it to remove it, but I certainly have an issue with that switch not registering. I searched the topic, but didn't turn up any pictures of it. Thanks!

There is no Mylar on my right orbit.

Thank you for the pic! Does your right orbit switch register correctly?
Quoted from dimthedaylights:I’m gonna get shammed for this but my ghostbusters is my only machine out of 5 that’s an lcd and I run it in dots xl and wish it was an led.
If you were a little closer I'd gladly trade it for my LED!
Quoted from Karl_Hungus:Thank you for the pic! Does your right orbit switch register correctly?
I had to bend mine a little (this was right out of the box). Do a switch test to make sure it works at all and then try making it a little higher.
Might not be the appropriate fix, but it worked for me.
Quoted from Shredso:The alignment holes for the flippers seem really droopy. Previous owner matched them, maybe a touch lower but it doesn't seem right. Are you matching the lane guide or the holes?
[quoted image]
We match every game to the holes. The holes are meant to be the middle of the end of the flipper. Play them how they were designed to be played! It is up to you how you set it up. Each to their own!

Mine sit exactly like this and I have no issues at all.

I'm able to make all of the shots, it just feels a little odd. I'm not sure I've ever seen a game not match the inlane.
