Quoted from jrockne:
I would get the air ball protector, and one of the lane kits. I wold also either put mylar in the shooter lane, or order one of the cliffy shooter lane protectors...
I looked close at my machine last night and noticed the clear was cracking in the shooter lane...
Still no ghosting inserts, but now I'm starting to worry that will be coming next...

Can you tell me what lane kit we are talking about, and where I could get it? Is this to keep the ball from jumping the outlane rails? And I assume your game is a premium. Can I ask where you are located? and when you got your game? Just wondering if you might happen to be outside the US and your playfield may have been built with the LEs, before the issues were supposedly fixed? Thanks again.

Wow, what's striking here is the variability. I have a July playfield, 350 plays and nothing. Seems there is no reliable way to tell if you are at risk. And with so many shooter lanes going it can't be just airballs. Weird.

Boo, need a sad face to flag your post with (Jrockne). I haven't received a call about getting my GB Premium yet, so I'm probably a few weeks out. Now I'm on the fence again about whether to get it. I really don't have time to deal with a bad playfield...

So much for the problems being solved.

Little shop of games sells plastic protectors designed to prevent the ball from hopping over outlane rails. Pinball Life also sells them.

Sorry, yes I do get Cliffys all the time. I confused lane kit with outlane guides to prevent the ball jumping. I will definitely pick up some shooter lane protectors.

The lane isn't the end of the world. I've got mylar on it now, and I ordered one of the cliffy lane protector sets...
I would like to say, I still have not seen an ounce of ghosting on any of the playfield yet so that's good. Just hoping it stays that way now.
For anyone opening a new one now, I would put a strip of good quality mylar in this section of the shooter lane.

Hey where's the guy running around saying "the problems are fixed". ?? None of my 20 year old WMS machines have wear like this and they DON'T have Cliffy's etc...

Sure you can lay down mylar... cover it in metal, etc but what does that say about the overall durability of their current CC process?

Scary.

you don't need the lane kit. Knock the rails up 1/4" with a drill bit and a hammer. Takes like 3 min, and not only fixes the jump over, but reduces your outlane drains by 30%

Are you overseas by chance? Your play field was made Sep 8th I think? Seems earlier than the ones in the US.
From what I've seen, those have build dates around Sept 19th give or take.
Just trying to find the "best after date" for these issues.

Yikes. Yours was still made before the time I had heard that things were corrected, but only by about a week or two.
It's definitely the youngest play field with issues that I've seen.
Sorry to hear.

So this would be the most recently produced playfield with issues I believe.

I am being told I should have mine in next few weeks. My disti did already receive a few machines. Is anyone else hearing strange voices in their head stating that all play field issues are resolved?

My distributor is only getting 4 machines in the first batch after they thought they were getting around 10 (I'm number 11), so it'll be a while before I can get one. I'm patiently waiting to see how the playfields do. If there are a lot more reports of issues on new playfields, I may just wait (after I just convinced myself last week to take the chance).

I try to buy locally, FUN!. Luckily I personally know two of the people getting the machines so hopefully they have good experiences with them. They are guessing they will get some more premiums in a few weeks, but don't really know (Stern is obviously backordered).

Has anyone installed or planning on installing a playfield protector on their machine? Any issues with installing or stuck balls? I just ordered one and I'm still at least 2-3 weeks away from getting my premium. Mine will be in my free play arcade so it's going to get played to death. Love playfield protectors and has saved my machines. Only issues are stuck balls.

Thanks, I'm documenting the progression... On a positive note, I have yet to see any of the ghosting inserts others have posted. I've got the lane covered in Mylar now, and I'll watch to see if it gets any worse. Otherwise as long as the inserts don't start to ghost, it's not the end of the world. I'll continue to play the hell out of it, it's still an awesome game!

For others still waiting for their games. Be proactive, and Mylar or cliffy the lane if you are worried.

I'll update if anything else changes.

Checked thoroughly. No issues, 51 plays. Slimmer did drag his big ass all over everything. I scooted him up on the shaft, then moved the city to the right 1/16 inch. Works great! Next mod is a better player.

I'm curious. I wanted to buy local, so i called and the lady that answered quoted me full retail for a premium. When I let her know I had been quoted prices lower than full retail from other distributors she told me that was illegal. i've bought new in box before so I thanked her for her time and that was it. Did you pay full retail for your game?

I know you guys are saying the issue is not fixed, we have seen one or two domestic premiums with shooter lane kick out issues. That's not the "issue" are there any domestic premiums that have shown ghosting?
Thanks.
