Quoted from tasman:Just replaced my rubbers a month ago and one already broke and a lot of them are cracking real bad also. I replaced them with the standard black ones. So what the best rubber to use and where to get them so this won't happen so fast again
Thanks

Quoted from mdeslaur:I bought one from Marco, though it looks like they're out of stock now.
Pretty sure they are out for good. I have had the same issue finding one and keep checking but they haven't had any for at least 6 months or so.

Quoted from Compy:Just picked up a GB premium the other day. I remember playing it when it first came out and really liking it. I completely understand what everyone is getting at with the magna slings, flipper gap and crazy outlane drains. However, my wife (who usually doesn't play pinball) has easily put 50 games on it since it got here on Monday. While the shot layout might be pretty tight with the ramps, I find it easier than, say, ACNC.
Love the artwork, love the unique layout. I can have one game be 4 million and the next be 2 billion. It kicks my ass, but I think it'll be around for a while. I think guests will absolutely love the theme.
Agree, it's usually the first one they go for in my collection with the exception of Star Wars. Depends on age but GB and SW span a pretty large number of years for being recognized themes.

Quoted from freddy:See that it turned on in settings
Worst case could be node board
so I checked and it looks like I don't have any bad node boards I don't see the topper anywhere in the adjustments or the utilities menu and I don't ever recall shutting it off as it was working. strange!

I'm throwing this out there again. Checked and double checked my connections for my ecto topper and it just decided to up and quit flashing one day. I went out of my way to get this one so it's a bit frustrating. Game functions normally with no node board errors and it looks like there is a board in the topper that is getting power or so it seems. Anyone have any ideas?

Quoted from delt31:So I just rejoined the club. The theme is just too strong for me and revisiting it, it really is so loaded for a stern.
I see some guys are printing firehouse replacements? Are they for sale as I would be interested. Also any other cool mods that are new that would be cool?
Mezel has some cool shit, firehouse mod etc.

Quoted from orlandu81:Hello everyone - hopefully an easy question. My GB premium doesn't save the date and time after the power cycles. Everything else works as it should (I believe). Is this an easy fix or a more complex node board issue?
Could be the battery?
Quoted from orlandu81:I didn't realize it had a battery (figured NVRAM), then that makes more sense. I'll take a look thanks.
Yep it's one of those circle batteries I think a CR2032 or something I can't remember the number.
Now if somebody could help me with my nonworking topper issue that would be fabulous. I have a very expensive piece of plastic on top that doesn't flash anymore. Pin works great and the topper is getting power it just stopped working one day and if I had to guess it's probably the board inside of the topper but no idea where to get one of those. According to Stern they don't sell them direct.
E48C24A0-C8BC-4A8C-8C1D-0F647CA27DB7 (resized).jpegSo I posted a while ago about my Ecto-1 topper not working. Well I fixed it no thanks to any of you...kidding! It turns out it was just a bad board inside of the topper. If this ever happens to anybody else for whatever reason it's node board 10 and available at Marco. It's actually a Spike 2 board but with the flip of a dip switch it gets recognized. Hey I couldn't let a $3000 fisher price topper decline in value right?
Quoted from P1nhead:Wow, maybe we can create interactive toppers using the board you bought, the flasher/RGB node control board and some stern flashers?
And here I was thinking these things were unobtanium.
Is this the 16 LED serial board that controls the lights in the topper? https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/520-6831-01
Between those two, it seems we could remake or create a new interactive topper.
I'll take the plunge and order the parts if you can confirm the reference/part number (520-6831-01).
That is the one! 520-6831-01
Quoted from DruTheFu:Dip switches?
Given my board experience with my faulty topper the dip switches may be it. Try to mimic the old board dip settings and see if that fixes things.
Quoted from wolffcub:Yes. Even the red alarm button.
Will you be selling these?

Quoted from radfordian3505:Hey fellow Ghostbusters collector's. I have a offer for a deadpool pro and 1k cash for my Ghostbusters pro. Do yall think thats a good trade/ Would yall do it? Bc I have wanted a deadpool forever
Don't do it. I have a DP and GB still wins and is played more by guests. If you ever do turn it loose my guess is if you ever want it back you will pay a premium to reinstate it more so than deadpool.

Quoted from Zeusflurry:Karl_Hungus @mezelmods
Karl beat me to some pics of moving Stay Puft.
I do have a few tips for installing Stay Puft V2 2023 by Mezel Mods, but mainly that directions by Mezel should be more clear.
I have a Ghostbusters Premium and I question if directions are an under playfield of Ghostbusters Pro for install??
Below are images in Mezels directions:
[quoted image][quoted image]
Note the large bare area of wood and no question where should install red box Mezel Mods Game/Timer, however below is my under playfield.
[quoted image][quoted image]
I have a large node board of sorts in the whole area and red box does not fit anywhere around there. I ended up putting electrical tape to shield/protect back of red box exposed green circuit board followed by zip tying red box to bundle of wires securely, which I think works, but I hope instructions can be updated with ideal install or alternate install position for Ghostbusters Premium (again I suspect images by Mezel are of Pro although have not seen one underneath).
Important regarding the "Hinge and Servo guides" --please have directions be more clear what these are. I did figure out to remove guide from hinge as pictures of Stay Puft attached show this removed.
However the servo guide was more confusing and I discovered shortly after Stay Puft only went to his right and not all the way to his left. I don't think any damage was done as seems to work perfectly. I did cut the zip tie beforehand, but didn't realize large plastic there by servo had to be removed.
Please update instructions for Ghostbusters premium install and being more clear what the "GUIDES ARE" and "WHAT THE GUIDES LOOK LIKE TO REMOVE"
Below is picture of these guides to help anyone in the mean time:
[quoted image]
But before I forget, this is an AWESOME MOD. If I figure out how to put video on Pinside, I will post it!
I had the same issues on my LE. That picture is definitely of a pro on the underside and there was no place for the game timer (red box). +1 for more clearer instructions but it all worked in the end.

Quoted from swinks:Finished 7 ordered Flat Iron (Prem / LE version) so will be in touch with those people soon, and I will start painting the next 8 over the weekend and will be finished in about 4-5 days so if anyone wants one just yell out.
I have a few people buying the Prem / LE version even though thought they have a Pro as they plan to upgrade down the track - this version fits any game.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Please put me on the list for one of these for an LE
