My tobins guide doesnt light up after capturing 20 ghosts??...does anybody else have this problem? I mean it is suppose to light up, correct? such a fun game, my top score is 2b but my wife has 3.1b GC on it..have owned the premium for 5 weeks.
Quoted from finnflash:It doesn't light while your in a mode
thank you,I did not realize this..most times i get to 20 ghosts, im well into a mode. hmmm..must add this to my technique thanks again
Quoted from gweempose:Yep. I think it's a bug. Sometimes you have to hit Slimer in the ecto goggles to complete it, and other times you don't. And what sucks is that when you nail the hologram, it automatically starts WBTD. I don't think this is how it's supposed to work.
yup, this is the case.. seems totally random. but often need to hit ecto to start scene, if its a half loop,and just hits the ecto it will light scenes, a full hit will start wbtd, which can be annoying
Quoted from Oxdeadbeef:I had a similar issue on my machine recently. The problem ended up being a loose switch at the bottom of the scoop, one of the screws which held the scoop in place had fallen out and was laying in the bottom of the cabinet. Might be worth flipping up the playfield and checking if both screws for the switch are present & tightened.
this has happened to me twice,I tightened them a bit more,and been good since
Quoted from miga:Anyone knows something about this?
I find it strange and can't find anything anywher in the net?
also find it strange,. Ive never had it multiplied by the number it says. I actually started to think thats that the amount of times you can hit it,not to multiply the points at all. I play alot,and im SURE its never been multiplied by 12 when it says 12Xwhatever. Its been up at 500m, i hit it thinking id get billions,but only got the 500m .. anybody else know anything??
I neeeed this new sound score on my premium. Has difficult is it? Is there a walk through or guide somewhere we can learn and install this ??
Has anyone had there spooked central countdown start at 22.5m instead of 15.25m ? It's only happened a few times in thousands of games, I have no idea how this happens though? Anybody ?? I own the premium Haven't seen it happen on the pro, but sure it has/does?
Quoted from krankin:I've had this happen too. The DMD will show something like "Stay Puft Award Grows" and then the hurry up value will increase. I have no idea #1 what causes the stay puft award to be awarded and #2 why it's called stay puft if it effects spook central.
Indeed, "stay puft award grows" comes up, I wonder this must be a bug? its the only time Ive ever seen that "stay puft award grows" never seen it during stay puft mode, and ive been many times. One time I had 6X going,and hit gozer 3 times before hitting the multiplied right orbit to start collecting staypuft at a whopping 900m a shot,and growing each shot of course! but no "stay puft award grows" display Ive seen. got 9.5b that game! highest to date for me
I have the slimer speaker covers, what do I need to buy to hook the lights up behind them? there is obviously a connection behind the backglasss,and ill need some green led's.. sorry,its probably simple,but im relatively new to all this,cant find an instructional video..
Speaker light kit ordered, thank you, My scoleri brothers are acting up now,outta nowhere, during gameplay,usually not till 2nd ball,they start activating,not popping up,but clicking and moving slightly and collecting a ghost sometimes, mostly before I plunge, I lose my ballsave and can hear them clicking...anybody else experience this.? its the premium,pretty frustrating,they work fine otherwise
This Is not the case actually, I've had it say 12X Severel hundred million, hit the shot and collected said severel hundred million. Last week it said 8X1b. I had 3X going, I collected 3.2b fir one shot. With your idea,I should have collected 24b for one shot. Never happened. Also not the first time I've been in the situation. I've asked long ago on this thread what the x means on the pke shot. It decreases as time goes on,but the point value rewarded is always what it says. Not multiplied. My thought/theory is even though its timed mode, you can only hit the ramp as many times as the X says ?? So I coulda hit it 12 times in a row and collected 3.2b each shot but then it'd be over, timer or not, unless you hit the proton packs to get more x on the pke shot! Make sense to anybody ??
Quoted from desertT1:Looks like it's 8X the Super value. 7x8=56. It says 56m right there.
My curiosity (since I never pay attention) is how your PKE value plays into those numbers. Looks like the PKE award on the right ramp is the multiplier times the super jackpot, nothing to do with PKE numbers from what I remember.
oh, wow. you are correct. I cannot believe i didnt figure that out. It should say pke jackpot,not super. also, its just shy of 7.5 in the pic, that times 8 is more than 56m anyway, thanks for that. not sure how pke levels orwhatever work into that either.
Fun game I filmed yesterday. Lottsa action. 4.2b score. 660pke total,big mass hysteria,staypuft wcws etc. Great fun. Enjoy
I agree with all this. Trying to figure it out as well. I just posted a video, I get pke and hit it a few times. Haven't looked at the dmd on the video. But will do. See if the X beside pke value is the jackpot, I think where it says super jackpot,might just be the pke "super jackpot" multiplied by the X. New code new code !!! Can't wait. Check my vid. 4.2b. Lottsa fun
I just checked it out,still no idea what that multiplier means. It clearly says 12X 160m. I hit it for 160m. Also the super jackpot says 21m, I hit it for 21m. So my theory/assumption is that's the amount of times you can hit the pke jackpot. I decreases and increases as the mode plays out. Increase it by hitting proton pack targets. Time decreases it. I bet that's what the X means during pke? Anybody else? My video above clearly shows what I'm saying (minus amount of times you can hit the ramp theory).
Yessir. Used a GoPro. Hero 4. I think I need to raise it up a little bit. Otherwise. Happy with the result thank you for watching
Quoted from brandonx76:Hey all, this may not be a Ghostbusters premium question, but perhaps a general pinplaying..but how the freak are people hitting the right side ramp and right bucket?
I'm getting more familiar with the rules, and I get alot of 'who brought the dog' as the first shot I must make to get things going...but I suck...haha...was looking to see if someone has a good video on playing the premium to get alot of points and general hitting shot tips....most vids out there on YT are for the Pro.
Love the game though, hell of a 1st pin purchase for me.
A beginner as well,GB first machine bought 1 year ago. heres a video from a few weeks ago. lottsa nice shots! enjoy
Quoted from Bertille:Do you have a link to a Youtube Video to check the result ?
Thanks.
Lottsa good sling action in this video!
Quoted from sethi_i:I've been trying to figure this out for awhile and can't get it. The rulesheet states that you increase the X multiplier on the Staypuft "choose and perish" shots by hitting the Gozer standup. I've only been able to get it to X2 on one of the shots. The others still showed X1. How does this work? How is a Gozer hit assigned to increase the bonus...which shot gets it? Can you increase the X to more than 2?
yes, hit gozer,each pop bumper changes the shot that gets multiplied ,and gozer multiplies it up to 6X ! its very difficult,but I go for it everytime,usually hitting a shot before the multipliers get to 6X starting staypuft. So much fun! 6X multipliers with 6X staypuft shot is my goal! 1.8b a shot if my math is correct!!
Quoted from billsfanmd:did you download code for their site and install?
No. I did not. Is that the issue?
So my premium today decided it wanted to give me free ghosts, for no reason. If I let the ball sit in the shooter lane,eventually it’ll say 4 ghosts caught and auto plunge my ball. During game play,it just starts handing out 4, 2, 5 random amounts of ghosts, for no reason. I thought it was a stick switch, or overly sensitive switch. But I don’t think so?? I can shake the machine and nothing happens. It’s very random,but every game now starts giving me ghosts at some point. I did switch test,nothing (although not super familiar with how these work,newbie kinda) any ideas what’s going on? I can take a video if that helps. It’s strange. Cause there can be no ghosts lit at all,but it gives me more than 1 at a time usually ?? Help please
Getting an ”award tobins guide” from tobins guide gives you the same” awards” At least for the premium. This must be a bug?! Getting “light extra ball” twice is pretty sweet tho . Hah
Quoted from TheCnyPinGuy:Okay ...
So who is trying to mod the Hallmark Ecto-1 Ornament to place in the gameCmon I know i am not the only one whose thinking about doing something with it for the GB
I added it a few months ago. When it first came out. I didn’t wire the lights n sound in, but it looks amazing !!

I try to time it out. I agree. It’s a bit of a buzz kill. But after it’s over things sure seem to pick up quick! If ya keep it going . Trap up. Backhand right loop, repeat.
GOZER! Finally installed my gozer properly . Everybody like it!? I thought it was original! Looks pretty awesome,better than the plastic imo . Haha

Yes. An extra head and set of hands came with her, I figured I’d put them to use ! Lmao. Loving the reactions ! I think it’s perfect
In need of help. Slider will not go into his home position on my premium . Been doing this a while. Finally realized it had a test in the settings (I’m fairly new) and ya it turns out,he can’t seem to get there. Anybody have any help would be amazing !! Here’s a video of the test times out at the end.
Quoted from Rager170:Sorry, not seeing the issue. My Slimer sits with its tongue against that building that yours seems to be resting at...
When you start a game and hit the slimer target he doesn’t come down. If I remove glass and give him a push he will do his rounds but cannot get back to original position. It’s a issue. Slimer does not work.
Quoted from Rager170:I believe, if you unscrew the screw that connects the rod to the arm, you can fix the position.
Personally, what you are experiencing wouldnt and doesnt bother me the least.
It wouldn’t bother you if part of your game is malfunctioning? Hmm. I will try n fix the position like you say. Hopefully I can make his starting position lower.
Start a game, miss your skill to start a mode, hit ghost target and slimer just stays up. Therefore you cannot ever start a mode. I think this would bother you. I’m fairly new to this hobby as well. But this is an issue.
Quoted from Rager170:I wasnt aware that your game was malfunctioning. All I saw was a picture of what looked to be normal...
All good. I managed to fix it ! Tightened a little hex bolt on the outside of motor. This seemed to tighten everything up and now he works great again !
Quoted from Sinistarrett:Every few games my Scoleri targets get “twitchy”... i can hear them clicking and see them barely moving up and down slightly. Then they sit quietly like they are supposed to for 10-12 games and then start clicking and twitching again. They function as they should aside from that. Anyone else have this going on?
Yes. This is happening to me. For quite some time now. I thought I fixed it once by retightening the connection. But they still get twitchy after a few games
Great game I had last night. And I filmed it, the first ball alone was probably my best ever! Also exposes the tobins guide bug. Only got 66 ghosts when I finally got to wrtby. That sucked. Haha. Otherwise,a great display ghostbusters and of my style of play . Flowing and decent accuracy . This game is underrated imo. Enjoy !
Part 2 of me coming so close to defeating ghostbusters pinball, or get inducted as the 5th ghostbuster is the idea . Starts by destroying gozer after a couple missed shots,then storage then beating staypuft! (So fun) pke, mass hysteria and finally we’re ready to believe you (I failed) . I couldn’t become a “god” but God I love this game.
Quoted from sethi_i:Really awesome!! You've got your nudging down pat on this game...
I love my GB Prem, but my magna-slings are a lot more animated (and frustrating) than yours. In Storage Facility you had a couple of 360 degree spins but nothing else really "violent" from them. My slings will throw the ball around the playfield, shoot the ball back and forth so fast you can't follow it, or stop it dead in it's tracks. Is there a menu setting for this? Or is it just manufacturing difference?
Have you tried switching the rubbers around on the slings ? It’s a common “mod”. There are 2 sets of rubbers on the slings. Little circle ones and the regular ones. Put the little ones on the bottom and the big one on top, or vice versa. And you can tweak the switch ever so slightly to make them less sensitive. My left one, about once a year starts activating without touching it. Had to bend the switch just slightly, and it’s back to perfect. Even gb haters play my premium and are like wtf.. totally different game. Anyway. Try those two things. Hopefully works out for ya .
Quoted from pinballaddicted:Looks like the drive belt has broken or fallen off. Drive belt is located under the playfield right under slimer. If you lift the playfield you will see what I mean.
Good luck!
It’s not that. The drive belt is on, it’s extremely tight as well. Thank you fir reply tho
Quoted from Mrsiyufy:I think there is an Allen screw in the hole that may have come loose
[quoted image]
I will be so happy if this is the fix !! Will try on my lunch break today. Thank you
Quoted from Mrsiyufy:If that doesn’t work there is another Allen screw below the play field
[quoted image]
Checked, it’s not those Allan screws. Both are nice n tight. Any other ideas ??? Thank you again. I was hoping it was that .
Quoted from Mrsiyufy:Check that the two bolts in the picture are tight. And there are Allen screws on both of the rods. One on each side of the belt. If I try to twist my rod it has less than a 1/2” of movement. So make sure everything that can be adjusted is snug.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Looks like that Alan screw is missing. Gotta search the cabinet now. Hopefully that’s the issue
448A0299-FBBD-43B9-A224-F369628748A5 (resized).jpegHas anybody airbrushed or painted their legs and lockdown bar etc ? The green on the le looks great, I’m thinking pink or purple maybe ? Any ideas ?
Quoted from ralphwiggum:I am no longer in the club, but finally got around to finishing the instruction cards I made for my premium. I am looking for someone who wants a free set of these in exchange for some pictures installed on their machine. If you have interest, please let me know.
[quoted image]
[quoted image]
I would try those out, well done They would go great with my new color armor, not done yet, did the lock bar today, it looks incredible!

What is the asking or going rate for a GB LE which includes a color DMD?
Good luck
Another fun game I filmed the other day . Only a couple billion,but lots of ghosts,a decent mass hysteria mb, put up initials for it . Enjoy such an underrated game!!
Quoted from LesManley:I unexpectedly got out of the club a couple months back and forgot I had this. It looks amazing on Ghostbusters as it matches the purple mood slim perfectly. I thought another member of the GB club might appreciate this, so I wanted to share the post for any interested owners. Thanks!

This would go so nice with my gb premium !! What’s it made out of ?
60FE8340-A23D-4C2A-B821-6DDA375E2E5D (resized).jpegQuoted from Pinkitten:Added this spooky librarian above the scoop. Mounted her on a thin metal tab so she moves up and down with game vibrations. Pretty cool, but not my idea. I saw another owner had one. Great idea! My Gozer The Destructor is the first one I’ve seen. Others may have done this too. Fun to customize. I have (crossover) hitchhikers from the Haunted Mansion too!
[quoted image]
Had her in for over 2yrs . I wanna add pink electric lightning bolts from her hands at some point . But her giving birth to herself was my original idea! I love it
9A1FC06E-096D-4C2E-BEC5-CB3E89E4C75D (resized).pngPretty fun game I got on video today .
I got my GC yesterday at 8B , figured I’d try n get up there today,got half way twice on video . Enjoy. The other is uploading,doesn’t seem to be much footage of this incredible game out there with newest code and color DMD !
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
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 !
