Quoted from Who-Dey:Them Terror Dogs are pretty cool, may have to get me a couple of those!
and LED the eyes! 
Quoted from Who-Dey:That's no sh*t man, I can't believe how quick the leg bolts come loose on pinball machines. As far as the shaker motor goes, I turned mine down on medium on Ghostbusters because it was shaking way too hard at times. Medium actually feels right also, feels like that should be the default setting.
try adding 3/8" nuts to the bolts on inside of cab this will keep them tight double nut!
Quoted from pinden007:How do you prop the pf up halfway?

i hate when the ball hits the inner lanes dividing rail and goes in the out lane as if it was sucked in with a magnet! DRAIN. 
Quoted from MustangPaul:Thanks, no they didn't, just my rookie mistakes with a new system.
Rookie your UP! 
Quoted from Allibaster:Agreed. I never know when they switch. Hopefully, they add a louder more noticeable sound in an update.
look at the play field lights. when 100 is lit mass hysteria hits. "switch those hands". you get number of ghost caught pops up on display leading up to it.
Quoted from cnuts13:Just got mass hysteria for the first time. Is it normal for the flippers to act strange during that mode?
yes cross your arms put right hand on left flipper and left hand on right flipper buttons. and go to town!
Quoted from cnuts13:Hahaha. i had no idea. Once i drained in about 5 seconds, they were fine
did you get midnight madness yet? ( if not adjust your time so midnight is at a time that you usually play. i have mine set that 10:00pm is midnight so if i have guests over they get the experience!) enjoy!
Quoted from scarybeard:just replaced the 3 red LEDs on the back of the playfield with purple, and the stacked books red captive ball light with green. Game looks so much better. more 'night time-y'. Pics don't do it justice. Try it out.
try red or blue in place of the two white bulbs. 
Quoted from pinden007:That's a lot of torque on 2 tiny screws. I'll take another look. Thanks
just screw it up!

Quoted from J85M:who-dey pink is the only choice, it's the river of slime man cmon!
Yeah I am it wasn't planned pretty much fell in my lap so to speak made an awesome deal for a POTC & GB.
i agree but it is actually RED. i wish it was pink. would go better in the game.
Quoted from Spelunk71:I agree it looks cool, but can be a bit of a pain with all the airballs. They have an annoying tendency to get stuck in the middle. The flying balls also broke off some of the plastic edges on mine. Even though I have the ramp airball plastic and added foam to the standup targets to reduce airballs, I removed the mod.
haven't had this happen yet! crossing my fingers.
Quoted from imagamejunky:I agree with Who-dey, the subway and Magna slings make it worth the cost.
Junky
so magna slings and subway = $3,000 
Quoted from pinden007:Yea, I haven't found any that size on the inside. PL seems to only advertise the outside diameter.
I was trying not to buy a set that costs $30.

http://www.pbresource.com/rubber/rubberchart.jpg
Quoted from pinden007:Thanks!
I think this one is it...
http://www.pbresource.com/rubber/rin-316.jpg
i think you need one of the two smallest ones on the ring chart
Quoted from pinden007:The inside diameter is not big enough for the posts on the smaller sizes. That's the issue I was running into with the PL ones - none of them fitted properly.
I cut them to put them on and it leaves a gap around the post. I can turn them so the gap is in the back and they seem to function properly, it's just not a glove fit.
They stretch!
Quoted from pinden007:How hard is it to put them on the posts without cutting them?
just be carful not to damage the play field . i would just leave them off.
Quoted from cscmtp:So is there any way to stop the ball from going SDTM between the 2 flippers when it comes off the bumpers? I don't have that much issue with the losing the balls on the left or right side of the slingshots, but man it goes straight down the middle waaaaaaaaaaaay to often. I love the game but its frustrating as heck!

Quoted from golfingdad1:Has anyone changed out the sling leds to a different color other than those super bright whites ? Pics ?
I used a frosted purple dome looks good with the green slime plastics that go with the center post kit
Quoted from golfingdad1:Nope , i did mean the lights in the slings. Not the triangles. I think those triangles are on a board so no changing.
The reason why I asked was because when I play my pins next GB the sling lights hit me right in the eyes., and there BRIGHT.
you can also color the stock bulbs with a sharpie color of choice should take the glare off and tint the area. if you don't like it remove it with alcohol wipe.

Quoted from chucksmith:Its a zip tie with a plastic spacer (with a slot in its center). The device includes a zip tie but the set will prevent the diode from moving forward or backward on its spindly legs.
Problem:
The leads of the D9 diode have physically broken due to the extensive amount of vibration (shaker motor?) that
occurs on the playfield. The D9 diode had 2 thin leads compared to the 3 thicker leads that are
on transistors located on the node board.
how long is the spacer? ill just make one out of tube stock. got plenty of zip ties.

Quoted from toddsolus:I was thinking that a good way to solve the SDTM problem on GB is to turn the magna-slings into magna- save Would there be anyway,through software, to activate the magnaslings on demand? possible a double tap of either flipper button?...I imagine that this is probably not possible without a hardware reconfig.....but it would be an interesting mod, if nothing else.
use lock bar button to activate both slings to magna save . spell ghost to activate .

Quoted from Lermods:Have a chance to pick up a gble. Anyone know what a stock game huo is going for these days? What were the main benefits of the LE over the premium? Have these pretty much depreciated or are these still declining in price. I'm working a trade for one of my games and not sure how long I will keep the game.
Thx
The LE is a great looking game. That being said I am very happy with my pro.
GL with your trade.
Quoted from Lermods:I picked up a gble in trade for my woz yesterday, nice game, plays well except for air balls. Tiny bit of ghosting on the Tobin insert, but rest looks perfect. My wife and I were playing it last night, very fun game. Any recommendations on where to get an air ball protector for the left side? Thx
little shop of games reach out to marshall.
https://littleshopofgames.com/product/ghostbusters-plastic-air-ball-fix-premium-le/
Quoted from Who-Dey:Ive also heard that these really work good also. Im going to order a set soon and see if i can do away with the airball protectors.
https://www.shapeways.com/product/GRBNG4DQK/stern-target-bracket-v2-5deg2mm?optionId=63971960&li=marketplace
looks like you could wedge the original bracket to achieve the desired angle.

Quoted from mbelofsky:I love my GB Prem. Bought it NIB. I never really know what ball I am on. But I enjoy the game so much that I really don’t care.
When multiball starts and the game goes into Mass Hysteria mode, I don’t always know when it happens. Is there a sound or something I am missing? Sometimes I see it on the display but usually not looking. It also appears that the flippers switch back and forth so I am constantly loosing balls.
Is this just me or is this something that new code may fix? I like the code as is. But will appreciate new code when provided.
mike its hard to hear so just keep practicing switching your hands!
Quoted from UrethraFranklin:Here is the green and pink slime flasher cover. This is the non tapered design. Just apply with double sided tape.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

For the challenge !

Quoted from PanzerFreak:Yeah, even better! If Dwight is concerned about the effects occurring too often there could be a setting for it in the menu. Have how it is today as the default setting and then also have a another setting that enables more effects. Probably too late for anything new to be added at this point but hopefully something topper related is in the update.
The topper defiantly needs more interaction! I purchased my topper from my good buddy Marshall @ little shop of games, shortly after purchasing my NIB pro. It is an expensive investment into the game! I really like the topper just would like to enjoy it more throughout game play. heres hoping that beacon rocks with new code!
Quoted from RobF:Yep this is right. There are animations that are new and will not be colored until the colorDMD team has a chance to provide an update, no biggie.
So will they show red or white? Or?

Quoted from Rager170:Thats strange. I dont have that issue.
Could it be an adjustment ?
Quoted from Lamprey:There is a setting for which "mode"/"type" of panel. there are two settings: RGB or GRB (I think it's GRB). At any rate, it's a different sequence of RGB. Try changing that and see if that fixes it.
Ok did this slimer is still blue just looks weird

Quoted from per3per3:I'll be joining the club soon and excited to be snagging a nice GB Premium later this coming week via a trade. It's already coming with a colorDMD, PDI glass, the left ramp airball plastic, and the plastics for above the outlanes to help prevent ball jump drains over the lanes. I've been doing a bunch of research on other popular mods and had a few questions for the group and would appreciate some opinions:
1) Which is the best mirror mod so you can better see the PKE lanes? I've noticed they laserriific and mezelmods both make one.
2) Can anyone share a pic of the Walter Peck containment mod installed?
3) Has anyone bought one of those ecto 1 Playmobil toys or something like it to make a topper? Would love pics and recommendations on which one to buy
4) Any other must have mods?
5) Thoughts on the custom audio?
Thanks!
Welcome ,

Quoted from Chosen_S:I’ve been dreading bringing this up for a while, And I’m sure I know what everyone’s opinion is going to be. But I thought I would throw this idea into the open and see what the consensus would be.
Regarding the flipper gap. As has been stated in the past that the design was not meant to have the wide typical flipper gap for the designers usual flow, and has been Typical practice by everyone here to add carrot flavors or the center post if the flipper gap bothered the machine owner.
I have been contemplating for the last couple of years on routing the flipper post holes to allow a semi permanent and reversible 1/8 inch re-positioning of the flipper mech bracket; to each left and right flipper. Of course this modification is to bring the flippers closer together to original desired design but still maintain the Integrity of the machine to allow for full reversal of the modification and to be able to put the mechs right back in the original place should it be desired to move later on.
I’m curious what everyone’s thoughts are on this idea if it where to be thought of as common practice for Ghostbusters if I attempted this modification to the playfield and if others followed suit.
Leave it alone and play the crap out of it!

Quoted from R_Coles:Thanks! I really cant notice it too much during gameplay especially with the UV trough light....I was hesitant to go hard with the sanding in order to get it feathered out appropriately. In hindsight I have read (from Vid's threads) that its better to only fill the hole 3/4 of the way with apoxy and do the top with bondo as it is easier to sand. Maybe ill try that if I dive back in, in the future.

Quoted from drewbo81:Hello all
I just received my Ghostbusters Pro. Any advice on getting a smooth plunge every time. I’ve played a few on location and they all had much smoother plunges into orbit. Mine rattles 50-60% of the time.
If using shooter rod ,
Adjust shooter rod housing so shooter rod tip hits ball centered ( squarely).
Hitting ball too high or too low, too left or too right will Make for rough or undesirable ball launches.

Quoted from wolffcub:The firehouse ghostbusters deserves. Prototype is finished. Just need to work on the interior furniture now. Each level is lit and the roof hole is connected to the existing flasher so it flashes purple. The pinstadium lighting also runs properly above it and does not make contact with the roof. With the rest of the lit up buildings things should tie together nicely.

As far as movies, I have never seen the original movie. Ever. The best I could do when I was working 7 days a week was to sing along with Ray Parker on the radio while on my way to work.

Agreed.Agreed again.
This confuses me. GB has already been built and sold. Not seeing how Stern having a license, or not, would effect anything. But maybe this answers another question I have .
What would prevent Stern from doing some sort of Vault Edition like was done with Ironman? I guess loss of license would prevent a remake happening.

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:Had a bit of a love hate at the beginning with this game, that flipper gap is brutal but after a little adjustment in my flipper game I have to say this game is a blast!
I really love the music and the call outs and the modes are just simply fun. The game isn't the best shooter, when compared to other more modern games but it is not too bad. All that to say, I am liking it a little more everyday and I am enjoying it. Those outlanes though...geeeeeee...
Anyway, mine is a pro and plays really well, I really wish I could play a Premium because I feel this game might be a premium type of game... I have an Elvira I might use to get a nice premium but not sure if it is worth it. I did find the other thread - it is old - and people tend to lean towards the premium and I can see why (just guessing). Are the ecto goggles really a cool toy or just a silly gimmick? I am mostly curious about the extra ramp and how the game feels with it.
anyway, this game might just become a keeper for me. The callouts and the voices of the actors just reminded me also how much I used to watch this movie as a kid although I never really cared for it because a lot of the jokes were not for kids, some sexual innuendo and what not, just not a kids movie really even though it was marketed as one. lol
This is a good brutal game - really is and I like how different it is from everything else out there.
Should I try to find a premium?
I’ve had my pro since new
I’ve played several LE’s. That were owned by my buddies and prefer the pro, and by the way I still own my pro they all sold their LE’s

Quoted from bicyclenut:Wait...so this mod blocks the outlane?
Played two games after install didn’t stop one ball!
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:PLAY BETTER!! lol
Guess I have too!
It isn’t easy! I’d compare this mod to BMX Out lane save! But this one is high tech! Still need reaction time!
It’s an awesome mod thanks Swinks for making it!
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:harder? lol that is an understatement.
this game is the hardest pin I have ever played.
You need a Proton gun mod!
Quoted from Squizz:I think you will find that Ghostbusters was meant to have been the first Stern pinball machine to have had the Video Screen!
But Stern and others were not 100% sure it was ready for release without more testing, so they went with the DMD for GB.
I remember Aerosmith as first video screen
Quoted from kidchrisso:Lightsabers in a Ghostbuster game...lame
Quoted from bicyclenut:I know, kinda feels like cheating. Might as well play with the glass off. To each their own.
It actually makes the game more challenging !
Quoted from HeadNZ:Hello fellow Busters
The Scoleri Brothers in my premium are possessed. While down they randomly start to shake. By shake I mean they looked like they moving up and down a little bit and quickly. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks
Cool feature I’d leave them alone !

Quoted from javagrind888:So I need to change the coin battery because it's not keeping the date.
Do I change it with the power on or off?
If batt. Is dead it doesn’t matter.
If still keeping info change with game on.
Quoted from MaxIsDead:IMO risky to do with the game on, if you accidentally short anything all the smoke will come out and the game will be dead. My suggestion is always work on games with the power off.
It’s changing the battery sheesh!
Quoted from MaxIsDead:Yep, even the smallest thing can go bad quickly. That little battery pops out of your fingers and lands on a board and you woulda wished you had turned the power off pretty quickly.
So you loose all your scores every battery change!
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
Hell no!
I’ve seen asking as high as $25,000
And a few around $20,000
I’d say put a number up and BO.
Toppers I have seen listings of $4,000 plus
But seems around $3,000 is A sellable number.
But like with all things only worth what the market will bare.

Quoted from cottonm4:My Premium is not going anywhere. I love those mag slings.
I am not a fan of magna slings, that’s why I went with a pro.
But I do love that Munsters topper you sold me !
Quoted from jyeakley:Fascinating. I always thought the magna slings were such a cool theme integration…
I want to play pinball not magnetize my balls
Quoted from cottonm4:with my Premium, it seems like it is only the right sling that does any magnet action. The left never does anythingexcept for normal sling shot action.
How does this compare to yours?
Thanks
You only have a ghost on the right sling!

Quoted from acidburn:Officially joined the club yesterday here in the UK with a HUO Pro!
Can someone tell me how to disable the scream feature for when the kids are playing? Don’t want it to put them off playing the pin.
Thanks!
[quoted image][quoted image]
Don't baby them , let them enjoy the scream!
One haven’t lived till they have heard the scream !
Quoted from Riefepeters:My 3 year old was the first one to achieve the scream here and he literally wouldn’t play the game anymore , even though I then turned off the scream thereafter for him ! I eventually traded my premium away. Then I was sad. Then I replaced with a pro that ended up playing so much better with less airballs and BS drains. Then I was happy. I left the scream on because it’s awesome. Then my 3 year old played it again and it screamed. And we laughed. And All is right in the world again.
Good story, eh?
[quoted image]
This:
So one of my great nieces was playing with her mother, the game let out the shrieking scream !
My at the time very young nice looked about to cry and turned to her mother who then laughed and my great niece let out a smile and laughed too!
It’s all in how you as and adult react to the given situation is how the kids will react.
Don’t sell them short on any learning experience!
Kids are more resilient than we give them credit for !

Quoted from Caponicus:What if anything can be done about SDTM drains when exiting out of the pop bumpers from the center? I find myself nudging as the pinball rolls out of the orbit to get it away from the post. Has anyone had success adding a band there?
I dont mind draining off tough kickbacks when I miss a shot, but never having a chance to get a flipper touch the ball off the launch can be frustrating.
Maybe try ajusting levelers left to right just a little!

Should have bought this one!

Quoted from swinks:When slimer swings down, what part of the metal plate behind the captive ball does it go past - very back above the target, back of the slightly angled metal plate or the middle of the angled metal plate?
Can someone shoot Jady a video of premium slimer in action! I would but I have a pro .
Quoted from swinks:Here is my mystery building for over the right hand side captive ball area which will suit the library scale and the future fire station and perfect for this triangle area. These are mods for me but if anyone wants one down the track I can make you one.
This building is iconic in New York but not in the movie old movies but apparently in the new movie but should look cool all lit up and may still change a little but gives you an idea of what I am talking about and since I have a Pro the building is not a issue but slimer may not move past him or would have to trim the back of him a little.
I am really after world / city under the glass.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
and it is modeled off this iconic building.

Quoted from P1nhead:Like left to center (left) and right to center (right)?
That's how I had it originally.
Yes but they both need to move left to right if your facing topper if you want it to mimick stern topper.
Quoted from Rager170:We know. Just playing around with what might look best..
The stern one is best!
“Imitation is the best form of flattery”
Quoted from Riefepeters:The stern one looks look a toy, but for those that spent $2500 second hand I’m sure they’ll try to defend it. This aftermarket imitation is an upgrade for sure and priced reasonable compared to the $600 OG 7 years ago.
A toy? Not at all.
I only spent $499 shipped don’t need to defend the real thing!

Quoted from Pinkitten:Hmmm. That’s puzzling. Mine came with what appears to be a standard Stern glass. Mine is a mid-2017 build. I swapped it out for an Invisiglass or Voodoo glass with no issues. I find Voodoo can have a bit sharper edges, and Invisiglass is slightly more beveled. I haven’t used Stern HD glass before.
You guys need to check out Ivan’s glass!
https://aftontickets.com/Pinfest2024
Quoted from big-c66:Wow 125$ that’s cheap I go to SFGE HERE IN ATLANTA AND glass marked down is still 199$ for invisiglass.
Buy 5 or more $100 a sheet.
Quoted from cottonm4:I have my homemade topper roughed out to see how it was going to look. I still need to do a proper paint job and figure out how I am going to light it up. Right now I just have a shop light sitting inside making light.

Quoted from Mjesposi:Another quick question for everyone. I have had my machine for about three weeks now and when I bought it, it had between 600 and 700 games on it. I was getting the Scolari targets that do not drop down so easily, that has been discussed and so I ordered the Pinball life new springs for those two drop-down targets.
It really does not seem to have made a difference. The targets will drop pretty easily if you hit them off to the side a little bit or not super hard but a direct hard shot right at it just flex the ball and it does not drop. Outside of letting those pinball springs break in a little bit more, is there anything else I should try or look into? Thanks

If you want it to happen while playing set your clock to midnight at the time you are playing it!
Quoted from cottonm4:Like others, my Premium has a bolt stud and two brackets. I have no idea what they are for. I am the 2nd owner of this pin.

The threaded coupling is mounted to prevent a ball from becoming stuck.
Now the paper trash mod you have going on not sure on that !
