Quoted from Duster72:Is there anything I can do about the rocket kickback going SDTM? I didn't see a ball save in the menu. Any other suggestions?

If all else fails, there is just enough play between the screws and kickback bracket mounts, that you can get about .25 degree trajectory change by loosening up the wood screws and re-orientate the kick assembly, and angle it more towards the flipper, then re-torque the screws. (Keep in mind this is not an adjustment, nor is it adjustable) It's just the play between the screws and bracket which has a tolerance margin that you can manipulate the orientation that will reduce sdtm.

There is setting for ball save you can turn on....

Sorry to be dense - where is the ball save setting? I went through the menus last night and didn't see one for Rocket.

My bad, there is no setting for that. It does have that for setting for quills scoop shot. I would look at adjusting the unit from underneath. There is usually a little give.

Just joined the club. Any chance of any more sterns toppers being made?

How is the mezel topper?

Long shot but if anyone wants to sell a topper please let me know.

Thanks,

Mike

Also thank you to all of you that post. I had the orb drop target issue and it was awesome to get a quick easy fix.

There is a zero chance stern makes more toppers until there is a 50th anniversary edition.

Kicker solenoid power adjustment did it for me.

1.12 code out now from Stern. Hopefully that may help with the static issues with Pinbrowser and cleland’s mod

Joining the club today. My first Stern Spike 2. Already order the PinMonk quiet fan mod. Jesus the stock fan is loud. I'm not sure why I haven't read about it before. Upgraded orb, shaker motor, and some coloured plastic protectors. No IC (yet) but trying to do the Home Team thing. Still trying to register it on my IC profile...

No idea what I'm doing on the game yet. Looking forward to learning the rules.

Let me know what mods I should get and avoid.

I love Ronan’s hammer mod from mezel mods. Its really nice. I installed mine on the opposite side near Ronans area, i think it makes more sense on that side rather than where Mezel mods shows it…

You will need to add a USB Wi-Fi and a micro sd card, and temporarily run a cat5 cable to your other scanner to register the game initially so that hometeam can work on the machine.

Bummer. I'll have to borrow an IC to do a scan (or just buy one).

Question for anyone that has done a teardown on their machine.

1) I have a broken plastic (no biggie), but if anyone has a spare they want to sell please send me a PM.

2) I am guessing I am missing a spacer here (circled in green)? It makes sense that there should be one there. Is there a part number or does anyone know the size before I dig out my calipers? I didn't see it listed in the manual.

I think I have some black post rubber I can use for now.

Really digging the rules for this game. I have played it a few times out in the wild but I badly misunderstood some of the rules.

Thank you,
Tim

That orb plastic is unobtanium and breaks on everyone's. Best to get yourself a plastic protector. If anyone remakes this plastic, I would buy one in a heartbeat.
