I am going to purchase the art blades and shooter rod. Even though it's not super detailed. I think it's clean looking and effective. The games art is already busy. I will be getting new unfinished armor and having t custom powder coated once I actually get my premium.

It looks like to me a sticker with a plastic window protecting it. Much like a shifter knob in a old car. And we all know those had held up.
It all depends on the price. I like the shape. And as said a molded one in the shape of something is not my preference. So a white shifter knob looks good but offers release control.
Just my personal preference.

Not very clean soluup ion for he Outlane issue. I might have to order some clear ones. Center post is pretty lame I think.

Dam autocorrect. I meant to say. Nice clean solution for the Outlane issue. That's what I get for posting during a training break half asleep.

Good to know. I don't care for the green. I have made an entire set for a big game retheeme. So to make a couple of these would be no issue. ill make some when the game gets here.
Ps pinball life just released a armor kit. With just a plain white knob.

I just noticed the center post bracket is made from acrylic!!!! Do some research and use polycarbonate. Acrylic is brittle in comparison. When I home make one I use poly, they use it in industry fo machine guards, bullet proof, and cold form it. I would have a hard time paying for special peices made out of acrylic.
Sorry for the rant but just floored about material choice.

Too funny, but seriously, make sure you get polycarbonate for you Dirty Harry plastic protectors. It's hard to remember how many shots you have taken.

My point is durability, if they use it there why would you not for a half inch wide peice of plastic.

I'm waiting for a premium. Can't wait. Played the pro a lot at MGC and got my butt kicked but didn't think the gap was wider than wwe.

Did you hear him say on the twitch feed about the proton beams? He mentioned they are evaliuating some prototypes next week. And that code will have to be added. If I put that with no un boxing videos of LE'S even though they have shown 241 production tells me they may be adding them!!

I agree. I have played it and had a few bad balls. I have also had some really killer games. Just like any new stern title it takes a few games to learn how to play it. And although I like friend play I mean a full game back to back balls. A lot of the people in the feed were playing one ball. And this game will be in my basement. I don't feel it's nessassary to change the gap or stock angles. I may feel it need something to stop ball hop out the outlanes though.

I would recommend. Get the game play it for a week then decide if you really need the larger flippers also.

Well said. At MGC playing the pro at first I thought. Really I waited in line for such a quick game! Then I played it a lot more over the weekend. While playing other games I sharpened my skills. By the end of the weekend I was putting up some pretty good ball times and getting through some shots. Definitely a fun game and long lasting game for the collection.

Or a lighter spring switch. I wonder if cherry makes different weights in those tiny micoswitches like they did in he arcade button micro switches.

Last time I played was MGC in April I beleive. Got a awesome score. What did I do... No freaking clue. I didn't stress and was talking to the guy behind me. Then mass hysteria came on.

I agree, I have only got mhmb once at mgc before they added the switch into the code. And our currently local routed pro is setup horribly so I can't get anywhere on it. I farted and tiled out my ball. And slimmer doesn't register that much. I can't get past it to unlock modes. She'll my game will work right dammit.
After a bit of playing mhmb I got a hang of it without flipping my hands. I agree the point is a weird hectic gameplay option. Like saying you hate midnight madness. Yes it f's with your score but in the end it's pinball and things like that keep it fun and fresh. Midnight madness just converted one of my friends to a pinball nut last week.

Just my 2 cents. I agree with John T I don't really look at the screen while playing. I have no need to get a color dmd for GB. I could buy a Bally ss project for that price.
Second thought. There are not that many spike games yet. If sterns next non novelty release is a color dmd. What's the pay off vs return for color dmd to develope specifically for spike? And they run the risk of stern getting a clue and offering a retrofit kit for all spikes using their new lcd screen.

I have played a routed GB a couple times while waiting for my premium. Can anyone tell me what the red inserts in the Outlane are for. They light but do not perform a ball save. They are in marked.
Thanks
Fortytwo.

Huh. Since this game is known for bs Outlane draines they should enable them for ball save. It seems like they light after completing a goal or something.

Ok, then since they seemed locked on for a bit or to signify something was completed I will tie each of them to my topper!

Hello. Just a quick note. The socket does not determine the voltage. There is no standard etc. look at the lower playfeild lights on black hole. So yes a socket that will fit a 89 can take multiple voltages. Just depends on the bulb required.
Ba15s base bulb.

I agree with show us a full picture of the game. I too am interested in a similar color on a premium.

Thanks, im on the list for a premium, how do the drop targets drop? Any other issues we should be ready for?

I'm confused by your post. You wish you could keep it, but have one hang up. And get three different suggestion to fix that hang up! Why not keep it? Or if you are really selling it for another reason, (don't like game play, profit for modding, want a premium). Just tell us. Every game isn't for everyone.

Who is supplying the speaker grills? I don't want to over mod my game but I like the look of both those and the art blades.

I just picked up two sets at my local Walmart. $10 each.

I personally do t like either of those games. I hate GOT. Play real fast and hard and ... Wait... Make a decision of a stupid clan I know nothing about.... Now you can play the game again. I actually drained the rest of my game.

Thanks. I think the complete not known and the stop in play the game exhibits. Not a game to just walk up to and play.

I'm ready for my game now. Just waiting on a premium. Found ecto cooler at a local grocery $2 for 10 juice boxes. And ghostbusters advertise twinkies.

Crap. Would have gotten those in a heartbeat. The only special editions I saw were banana and these marked with the logo.

"Don't sell yourself short, your a tremendous slouch".

If you really want to see stay puft. Cheat to see it. Btw if you are not progressing through the modes how many games do you have on it? 200-300?

Looks good. How does it actually tie in. On either side of the LED? Inline plug?
Thanks

At least there are ladder. SST has one progression, linear through tha planets. And it's not really a big complaint. Two people keep brining it up. And everyone dis regards them. And then they bring it up. I understand every game isn't for everyone. The good part for these ops, the game should be easy to resell and not loose your shirt.

Please please please. Stop the useless debate about the ladder vs random. I like ladder because it slowly gets harder. It's the way the game is written. I don't like the random aspect because ther makes no sense as to what's going on. Some newer sterns I have had the discussion. How did you do that? Don't know just kept hitting the ball that way.

So please if you don't like the game don't buy it. If you want to play and see I'm sure you'll get your money back if went for sale quickly. Just don't be one of those people with under 300 plays and huo for sale "didn't like the game". That's like drivin around the block and selling your car.
As an example of non issues. I don't hear any more bitching about magna slings or need for carrot flippers. If you think it drains a lot play space invaders.

Crap, one more thing to order. Does pinball life carry the shooter lane protectors?

Love it, well done sir! I take it the bathroom is right next door?

While waiting in fixing up a SI. Kinda wanted one for a while. But man some games and drain like mad. And then ou hit it right and roll the score. Kinda reminded me of playing the pro GB.

I like how quick people jump about how ugly things are. Look at the 90s Williams's amdDE games. Wire and crap everywhere. Go is pretty we'll tucked in and hidden. My only wish list for this is a decal over the black cover by the captive ball. Looks unfinished.

My opinion on this might be changing. I played a le with the kit. It only saved one ball out of two games. So not completely changing the odds. And I was a cheap sdtm drain it saved. Most flipper mistakes are not saved by it.

I normally agree. They did drop this one behind the flippers a bit. And being suspended on plexiglass (not polycarbonate) it has a bit of a bounce added to it. I played it at mortimers. May also have been a really setup well game that was clean. But compared to the pro at up down bar I enjoyed it a lot more. Even with the air balls from it being broke in.

I worked on copiers and printers for quite a few years. A couple tricks. For small springs we used a captive spring hook. A spring loaded tool that held the end so you didn't loose it. For e clips I put a dab of grease on them to hold them until I snapped them into place. Or if dropped they would stick and not bounce. Of course this is only if the assembly is ok with grease in that area.

While waiting for my premium I have been playing on location. Finally got mass hysteria last night. After about 10-15 games I was really hitting the shots.
Can't wait for my game!!

I'm also following this thread. Toward the end there's a lot of talk about date codes and related condition. Worth a look.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ghostbusters-le-anyone-told-theirs-is-on-the-way

One thing I'm surprised with is the cabinet art lack of lineup from front to side. Wi how awesome it is and how little of the front you see and consider there's only 4 inches to lineup. Would they have drawn the art to lineup like every other game out there?personally the last cab photo looks worse than the original. They even cut out around the shooter area. What next an all black front of cab! Bally tried it and it looked bad.

I will have to devise a protector when I get my game. I'm picking up a 4 by 8 sheet of polycarbonate today, couldn't be to hard to fab something up.

I have shopped and sold a few games to help afford the hobby. Some games require all the ramps removed. Normally with a 10 plus year old game I end up performing a complete strip clean wax etc.
I have noticed data east and sega to require more disassembly. And those half rubber posts. Since stern is essentially the same company. I would say this is normal.

In a average game when the rubbers need replacing it's not a bad idea to clean and wax everywhere when you can. It's due.

I'm waiting for my game. I built a custom topper but want to mount it to the wall because of weight etc. my game is coming soon but I want to get this done before.
Can someone measure the tallest point in their game and also how much adjustment on the legs left to go up?

Thanks
FortyTwo

My 2 cents. For me I'm no wizard, in fact don't know if I ever got to a wizard mode. But I could play the location pro enough to get past who brought the dog consistantly. So no need for the adjustments. But I will turn it on. The reason is for the 80 percent of non pinhead friends that come over.
So yes feels like cheating but will help others appreciate the code and work into it.

Those of you that replicated the exact issue. Have you submitted to stern? In the code update readme it specifically asks for feedback through a few methods none of whitch were Pinside.
I want them to fix it too, please help them.

Latest code. I noticed when I bashed slimer and it's ready for select modes. The next mode lights are not blinking as they should be. Sometimes this happens.

Yes i am on the premium, but i guess i never noticed the slimer in etco goggles. Do you need to hit that after bashing him?

Thanks. If you have to hit ecto goggles then you are locked into that ladders modes. Whitch is lame.

This is the way my premium acts. To me sounds like a bug.

It's there... so damage your own game?

Some one else Earlier in the thread, if you Lower the premium ramp your cheating and can't score brag?

People do what you want with your game so that you enjoy it. I wouldn't slap the crap out of my shooter. But do what you want. If some enjoy with a shorter ramp or toys everywhere that's fine. But saying you hate the game because you can't play it without exploiting a bug sounds backwards. Like I eat so much because of society thinking.

I beleive the right insert is used like a scoop flasher for the right scoop. Flashes before eject of ball.

Me too. Can you post a pic of the suggested orientation. I replaced mine with clear and don’t remember what order I put them in.
