Maybe some senna or a little prune juice? Poor Slimer. It’s all those hot dogs.
I want to join the club soon.
What is everyone's option on Pro vs Premium?
I know the pro doesnt have the subway or Slimer if I remember right.
Does it make the game feel radically different? A pro is more my budget but could save up the extra for a premium.

I’ve played both and went with pro love my pro!!!
I have been slack with providing a manual for the Ghostbuster Containment Mod so finally pulled my finger out and completed a Rev1 of the mod, though will need to do a Rev2 as I did upgrade the cabinet in looks - waiting on a few parts.
Manual can be found here under Kit Builds - GB Containment Mod

DSCF0243 (resized).jpgIMG_E2038 (resized).jpgOne thing that really helped me with this game was turning the flippers down from the default setting of "high" to "normal". I find my ball times to be much longer, and my ability to hit all of the shots is unaffected. Sure I still get STDM drains with this huge flipper gap, but I find that by slowing the flippers down I get far less clank shots that previously resulted in drains.

I bought a Premium NIB, and I never think the Premiums offer enough to justify the additional cost. The magnaslings alone made me pull the trigger on a Premium. They were made for this game (Ghosts doing funky stuff with the balls). The other stuff is negotiable for sure, but those magnaslings are a game changer for me. Nothing like cradling a ball or two during a multiball, only to have the magnaslings pull them off the flipper and send them somewhere else.

I agree and said the same exact thing. The magnaslings are awesome..

Thanks
I shall hold a family meet to discuss our health concerns LOL

This. When I first saw the magna slings in action I was both infuriated and blown away in amazement at the same time. I actually enjoy when I'm having a good round and the slings take my ball and toss it STDM. The theme integration makes me feel like I deserved to have the ball drained and gives me a chuckle.

Luckily mine hardly ever tosses it SDTM...
Now that we are on the topic of magna slings....
Does anyone know what the different "states" of the slings are? I've never seen any information online about this, but based on what I can tell there are 3 different states...
1. Light off: Seems like they sling the ball directly back like a normal sling would
2. Light on: Seems to me like they sling the ball in random directions up, down, left, right
3. Blinking light: In this state they definitely grab the ball and hold it for a second before dropping it to the flipper.

It happens the farther into the game you get from what I have seen, and the more ghosts you capture maybe? I've seen it where the ball comes down from the ramp and hits the sling...the sling will freeze it and almost wind up like it's pitching it and toss it between the flippers. You can fit a mac truck between the flippers so perhaps it isn't aiming to drain me, but it sometimes does.

Lottsa good magna sling action in this video, when both lights are on in front of sling they are way more active! And as you can see, sdtm from pops isn’t “common” but it does happen, never from the left orbit unless game is set up on an angle. The premium offers more than any other game to date compared to its pro model! The list is long, for me the slings and pke ramp, the subway virtual lock! The flying slimer (opposed to just up n down) The metal subway ramp, the optical screen thing could be way better tho
Really great game, pro is a really sweet game as well , but the premium is for sure next level!,and the best premium vs pro to date imo 
. Now go play! Or watch my video, color dmd is so good on this game !
Quoted from gliebig:Is it common to get a lot of sdtm drains from the Gozer lane in the middle?
Absolutely!

This isnt my first rodeo on the game lol. It just doesnt happen to my game...

Quoted from billrz:Another fun one. 3.9b game. Mass hysteria, Lottsa good mode completion, decent pke , staypuft, wcws with multipliers , good example of the color dmd as well, a must have mod imo ! Enjoy
Quite enjoyed watching that. Cheers.
Quoted from Meegis:Now I know why I never saw it.. he signed in black ink. Totally blends into the artwork.
Not something to be proud of in my opinion. I have an LE with his signature and wish i could remove it.
Quoted from bicyclenut:Not something to be proud of in my opinion. I have an LE with his signature and wish i could remove it.
It should be removable. Isn’t it on top of the clearcoat?
Quoted from bicyclenut:Not something to be proud of in my opinion. I have an LE with his signature and wish i could remove it.
I would try a small amount of Rain X, it should remove the signature quite easily.

Really? I understand the background but I still think its cool to have.
I would imagein any kind of polish would remove it.. Novus 2...
Quoted from Rager170:I would imagein any kind of polish would remove it.. Novus 2...
To be honest, I havent tried. I will now.I just didnt want to mess up the clear coat in any way, so i just left it alone

I wouldnt be surprised if that signature is under the clear... Curious..

I have the premium and have played the Pro. For some machines I do not feel the difference is worth the cost although for Ghostbusters I would always go Premium if I could. Although there is nothing wrong with the Pro either. Just a personal preference.

I was bothered by the flat buildings plastics used in the game. I removed them and made several 3D printer prototypes to get the best appearance and fit.
IMG_7346 (resized).JPG
Here’s what I ended up with. The buildings behind the firehouse took roughly 4 hours to print and the Stay Puft buildings took a bit over 6 hours. Once 3D printed, the window lights were cut out with a vinyl cutter and adhered, then the buildings were clear-coated.

IMG_7372 (resized).JPG
There are two separate areas of buildings. I wish both were simple bolt-on, easy installs. They are bolt-on… easy, but they were a little more involved than I wanted them to be.
The buildings behind the firehouse needed the playfield to be raised and I worked from the side of the game. A few screws needed to be loosened and a few removed to obtain access to the existing buildings. Unscrew both bolts at the bottom of the plastic and affix the 3D buildings with the existing mounts and screws.
IMG_7349 (resized).JPG
The buildings in front of Stay Puft are more visible and impressive, but of course they were more involved to put on. After removing the two screws that hold the stock building plastic, simply affix the 3D buildings with the existing mounts and screws. Sure, but I needed to take the main ramp completely off the game (removing the flap screws, several ramp mounts, unplugging a few items under the playfield and feed through).

I am pleased with the way these turned out. Here is the final design.
IMG_8082 (resized).JPG
Such a great game and great toys as is but just wanted something a bit more custom for the buildings.
I made a couple extra sets, if anyone is interested in one. I will list them in a marketplace ad.IMG_8310 (resized).JPG

Those look great. I’ll definitely take a set.
Question? I have a premium and was thinking of doing a straight a trade for another Stern premium. What would be a good machine for a straight across trade? Mine is in great shape, has the Stern blades on the inside, shaker, and lighted buttons. Shooter lane protector, and switch cliffys on the drop ramp switches, and kick out hole, oh and air ball protectors also has all the stern upgrades. V/R Shawn

Virus…. Kidding
Power cycle it. Check to make sure your power cord is secure on both ends. Change outlet if possible

LOL. its not the power cycle. code 1.13 and 1.16 was working good
Set a different country code? Via the switches. What is it set? See the manual for which dip switch is for which country. USA should work.
