Quoted from jsm172:Anyone with clelands 1.06 code get a loud spark sound through the speakers sometimes?
You might be hearing the "Knocker". It is quite loud and irritating. Go through the service menus and find "Knocker volume". You can select between a few options each time hearing what it sounds like. That should confirm whether it's what you heard. I choose off - always.
Just picked up a super clean GOTG Pro the other day. Very fun game. Everybody is enjoying it. It’s underrated IMO.
I was hesitant about buying my first Stern Pro. I absolutely hate the under playfield pegs. It’s ridiculous that Stern would release games where you can’t rest the playfield on rails to work on it. I’m adding the rails asap.
Have you guys had any issues with adding the rails? Anything in particular to watch out for?
Thanks in advance.

That's exactly what it has to be. No spikes in my sound

Adding rails is easy. Had no problem adding them to GotG and SW. Just be sure and put tape on your drill bit like they suggest so you don't drill too far. But the pilot holes are already there. I used one of the peg washers for the "washer fix" on the magnet.
Quoted from finnflash:Here is what my magnet is doing.
Mine was doing the same thing, but maybe even worse as the magnet would only alter course maybe 1 out of 6-7 times. I put the washers under the magnet core so that it was touching the play field, didn't do too much. Then I raised the back leg adjusters so now the bubble just touches the top line(was in the middle before), and it works all the time real good. Catch's the ball and makes it do a couple circles before it releases it.
just edited post as I didn’t read your response correctly. I’m at a loss. Sorry I can’t be more help.
So I cleaned and waxed my playfield today and the side drains are constant. I can only play for a couple of minutes per ball. I started becoming really frustrated and noticed the side drain posts have a little wiggle room. Does everyone else have their posts as far down as they can be? Mine is all the way up so I’m hoping I can move it down a few millimeters and it will help

I have the right side up bc of the “SAVE” and the left down.

Thanks for your help. The game does not drain as bad since I lifted the back legs, so that's a plus.

thx

You can get them from Pinball Life here:

Super easy to install and waaaay better.
Said goodbye to my premium tonight. I know I'm gonna miss this game. The code started out weak but has steadily improved to be a lot of fun. The cleland sound mix took it to a much higher level of enjoyment. Not hearing it on a regular basis is gonna leave a hole.
I'm glad it found a good home where it will be enjoyed.

Modified broom stick works great

It's definitely being enjoyed! I'm sure it was tough to let it go, but I'm thrilled to have been able to pick it up.

Welcome to the club. Game is freaking awesome!

Just wondering if any Premium / LE owners have experienced an issue with the orb mechanism not operating as it should? (seems to be the scissor mechanism that opens / closes the orb) I've created a separate post here that describes it. my first purchase (and first issue) but im struggling to fix it - any thoughts or comments are appreciated!!

Having a weird video problem. This has happened several times when I start a game. Playing as a single player, it continues until the game is turned off. Powered on again and it's gone. Any ideas? Still running 1.03 but didn't see that here was a fix in any of the updates.
My gotg pro works great... however after the plunges the ball kinda wants to lazily drop into the top lanes from behind groots head... usually happens 9 out of 10 times the ball goes up there.
Any advice? Just raise the back?
Quoted from izzy:Yes using Cleland. Stern advised updating code, but I thought 1.06 was causing problems.
Cleland has 1.06 images now to download. Works fine.
It was the Stern update that had issues on a quick update of 1.06.

I have the same problem. Like it hits the diverter & comes to halt. I was wondering if I need to turn the power down for the plunger coil or adjust shooter?

Mine does the same thing. It even would get stuck some times behind Groot and would have to shake it to get it to roll. Raised the back so now the bubble is just touching the top line on the level. Now it comes out every time, but it does come out slow. Watching the ball, it bounces side to side and just clears the gate to slowly go behind Groot, but not enough to loop around.
Quoted from acedanger:So do full update. Just to clarify??
Full update from Stern's update works, but will wipe Cleland's custom sounds out.
If you have Cleland's sound mod, then you'll want to download the whole 1.06 image from his thread and flash it to the SD card.

Guess the first thing ill try is to turn down the plunge power... i think mine is on full blast right now.
Thanks guys!! I have the Cleland code flashed on SD 1.06. I have Sterns 1.06 so I'll just reinstall & do Full Update!!
I'll turn down the coil from 200 to 165? See if that helps I might steepen it up a tiny bit as well. Thanks again.
Anyone have a good length video of the custom code from cleland? Thinking about adding this machine to the lineup.

I highly recommend it man. Great game. Underrated IMO too. It's a big hit with everyone that plays it at my house now.
Quoted from cpr9999:Just made another run of the orb protectors. Let me know.

I just bought and installed this protector. Perfect fit. He shipped it out immediately too. A++

If you have Cleland's 1.06 on a SD card, you don't need to update anything from Stern.

Nice. I just recently found what I hoped was a scrap of plastic in the shooter lane.. Nope, was a chunk of the plastic that this protector would of protected.. My first plastic travesty!

Is it a pain to install?
Quoted from Dantesmark:Is it a pain to install?
Not at all.
Remove the orb. Remove the plastics. Place the protector. Reinstall everything.
Easy.

In 106 there's a setting to weaken the power of the autoplunger, I did turn my settings way dow.
In 106 (presumably before that to) while holding the left flipper button and the hadron enforcer when not in play a timer appears on the screen and this "competition mode ready press start now". What does it mean, do, and so forth?
With the Cleland code I got I can't choose mode at the beginning of the game it just shows me cassette playing??? Is this right? Thanks.
