Ok so you can confirm your GB doesn't have one? That's really what I am looking to figure out.

Correct it does not. Neither my Got nor GB did.

know the feeling

I got it for the second time yesterday on the last ball to only launch the ball up behind the library and got caught, slid the glass and tried to then drop the ball down the shooter lane to give me time to slide the glass up and tilted the game lol

Now that sucks and is some bad luck there!

Picked up a huo pro Friday from a guy named Todd in Chicago. My wife and daughter both say it's their new favorite pin. We have been playing it quite a bit. Really loving it.

Only took a little over 2 months to get one.

Welcome to the club.

I joined the club as well. Originally pre ordered a Premium last March but canceled in September. Pulled the trigger on one back on june 5th and arrived on the 9th. Have an Airball protector on the way.

Congrats! change out those red LED's in the back for purple! all the cool kids are doing it!

RED and BLUE = PURPLE

the cabinet will be a bit dimmer if you remove the white lights though. But yea that would work.

Thanks for the explanation. I decided to leave it alone and have been spending games just practicing that shot and I am getting better at it little by little. I've had that right orbit fail to trigger on a scene three or four more times as well after taking that mylar off, it is driving me nuts. I also seemed to cause some weird bug during the "okay, she's a dog" scene where it refused to light up the Gozer shot despite hitting the right orbit four or five times. Any idea if Stern is still going to do any more code updates for this beyond the 1.13?

my pro came NIB with red and blue

I hear what you're saying but I haven't lost hope. I recall Trudeau saying the Proton Stream thing didn't make it into the product release, but I also heard him say (was it podcast or a video) that the toy could still become a reality. Hmm. Jody said they would consider it if there was a lot of demand (kind of what you would expect the marketing guy to say). And regarding the L-Brackets, they sure don't look to me like they're in a position to prevent stuck balls. I removed the L-Brackets from my game hundreds of plays ago... but I saved them, just in case

Really!? weird. Mine came with white and red.

I believe after you hit all the flashing white arrow shots gozer will start flashing. I also believe it you hit gozer to complete the scene, all the next available scenes will light, i.e, you don't have to hit ghost and drop slimer.

I also verified what I read somewhere - probably here, If you have 6x pf lit and hit a skill shot, you get 6x and the same goes for tobin's 10% of your score. This would be super valuable if you're sitting on a massive score. It's not easy to pull it off but worth a shot for a 6b shot or more.

If anyone is looking for a new inbox Ghostbusters Le, I have one for sale for 8300.

Joined the club tonight!

Congrats!

Congrats!!
Was it NIB?

Are the pro's still spelling "Negative Reinforcment" wrong on the new releases?

Nope, they corrected it. I have a May 2017 build Pro:

Oh yeah - I joined the club a couple weeks ago! Brought one of the machines home that Marcos had at the NW Show in Tacoma. 600 plays and over 1800 balls over 3 days and it looks great! So far I have cleaned and waxed it, added a shaker motor, and ordered the Mod Father Symmetrical Stacked Books mod to mount over the captive balls.

Only fix so far has been the right ramp diverter that wasn't diverting. If I pushed the diverter a little closer to the coil it would move and stick. I didn't want to bend the metal so I disassembled it and added two washers behind the coil to move it closer to the diverter. Works every time now!

Next fix is to figure out why the right orbit switch doesn't register when the ball is moving quickly. I had a Johnny Mnemonic with the same issue and simply adjusted the switch wire actuator a little higher and bent it toward the outside of the orbit so the ball caught it every time.

No, HUO, bought in December, beautiful condition. My first true NIB will be Star Wars Premium.

Since I'm so close to you, i think I will swing by when you get SW.

It's not that insert, it's the one with the ghost count on it (40 I think)... Can you let me know

The fix is to remove the mylar in the right orbit.

I just went through the whole photo gallery for this thread and I am amazed no one has tried replacing all rubbers with the clear green rings from super-bands.

http://www.pinballspareparts.com.au/rubbers/super-bands/green.html

I'm contemplating giving it a try, but there's a voice in the back of my head saying that the game is just going to become less bouncy and I'm going to put the old rubbers back on. It would Look amazing though....

It just might work. If you try it, please post photos and a report on how they play.

I've got the clear green rings on my RFM they really pop with some light behind them. I definitely recommend them even if you don't like their flipper rubbers, their rings are awesome!

Had a brief mental nerdgasm when I saw this in my local Home Depot parking lot today.

would look great. I bailed doing this as tried on my metallica and those 3/16" post rubbers are impossible to put on the top lane plastic guides.

Get on the phone to your distributor - they should make that right for you.

I designed this mod and hired out Cliff from "Cliffy's" Pinball protectors to manufacture them and Mezelmods is selling them through their site. They give a factory look to a needed fix IMO. The pics are from the prototype I have installed in my game and the final product is made from laser cut grained stainless steel. 30 sets were made, not sure how many are still available. Thanks for checking them out.

Love the podcast! Do these actually help with the insane outlanes? or is it to keep balls from jumping over the factory rails?

Thanks for listening, it's been fun.

These help with the ball hopping over the low outlane guides. I had the green plastic ones but was getting the ball stuck under one. I went to bend it up and it broke which led me to make these up.

Oh cool. I might pick these up when i get my replacement playfield... Whenever that is.

Do you think the playfield (clear coat) looks better than earlier ones? I.e. more like the Aero Smith ones?

Try the ones from Titan Pinball they got a kind of translucent green rubber that even glows when it's dark. I put it into my Metallica, looks great! Could imagine this would look awesome in GB
And the best thing is the bounce is almost 100% the same as with normal rubbers.
Plus the quality seems to be better too.
I did a bounce test on my Funhouse and let it drop from the middle over 4 rubbers. The ball ended up exactly where it did with the original rubbers.
All my Pins have Titan rubbers on them now.

Pf rubber or flipper?

The Titan flipper rubber seems to be a lot different but the pf ring kit is pretty good.

Are titan rubbers as difficult to stretch as the super bands. I cant get post super bands on the top lane guides the 3/16's tried heat and no go. The original black rubbers are ways more flexable

Titans are different, they are silicone, and very easy to stretch.

I thought super bands were silicone. I wonder what they are made of then??

arent they a form of urethane?

Polyurethane

What type do you like on your flippers? Do you feel like the stock rubber is much different then titan, thoughts?

I personally find the Titan competition rubbers to play truer to red rubber than the other flipper rubbers out there. I've had them on all my machines and for over a year and they have held up well and clean easily.

My only beef is how sticky they get right after cleaning just like superbands. I rarely clean my flipper rings because of this. But all my games have titans throughout. I love them.
