Love my GOTG Pro and so does my 4 year old. He’s been playing pinball since he was 1 1/2. Have a Ghostbusters, theatre of magic, getaway & cyclone. Has anyone else had this screen issue? It sometimes “blurs” and then come back. If I wiggle the board in the back box, it will fluctuate. Stern will not help at all even though the game is only 6 months old. They just say buy a new board at $900! And you can’t even find one in stock. Any help? I’ve checked all the solder joints and plugs and all seem fine.

Got immolation once. Scored 11 Billion!! The second time I completed immolation and actually saved Xandar. Again almost 12 Billion!! It’s crazy! Balls coming out and you actually save Xandar by shooting each characters shots. I’ll post pics of my score in a minute.

To Dinto1974. Go to setting and make sure you have it set to allow the player to choose. If gives you that option

First... big shout out to Pat Powers at Stern pinball. Spoke with him over the phone and Stern is going to make things right with my blurry screen since it’s a board issue and not a simple cable issue. Great customer service.
Second.... here are some pics of the orb I replaced that I bought off eBay. I added a purple amethyst stone and back lit it with an led light tapped off the Groot spot light. Looks awesome for gameplay. This is on a “pro” version

I purchased the orb off eBay. It looks to be 3D printed and is much more detailed than the one that comes with the game. On eBay it was titled “replica orb”. It was $40. Then I detached the original one and used the same brackets and screwed in the new one. Then I bought the amethyst raw stone for like $4 at a gem shop. Ran the spotlight and crafted a mount for the stone.

Quoted from Belcaw:

I replaced my orb drop target with a new one from Stern and it’s working much better than the original except it sometimes double triggers and ends up not trapping the ball.
Now I have a new occasional problem where Groot gets a case of the dry-heaves. This seems to happen after a 4+ multiball and all of the balls drain and for some reason the machine thinks there are still balls inside of Groot even though they are all actually inside the trough. All trough sensors are working and show all six balls in there. The game will do a ball check and then Groot continues to try clearing his throat even though he has no balls. When I opened the coin door; it switched to an operator alert about Groot and sort of fixed itself; but it totally kills the momentum after having a crazy multiball. It just happened to me after Cherry Bomb; thankfully my new grand champ score was saved after opening the door.
Just wondering if anyone is/has seen this and if there’s any recommended adjustments I can do to help prevent it.

Have same issues. Only sometimes though. Talked to stern tech guys and they said they haven’t heard of the issue. Obviously it’s an issue. All my sensors are cleaned and working properly. Groot just f@$ks up sometimes

Ball 1 completed every character. Best ball 1 ever. Got to immolation but was one shot shy of save xandar. Totally bummed. Oh well. 4.2 billion ain’t bad!

It’s great to nudge them because they wiggle around. I mounted them to a thin piece of wood (yardstick) and then applied that to the top of the machine. Good times while playing.

Quoted from pinnyheadhead:

Don’t nudge and you are good to go!

#2990 5 years ago

Thanks man. I have a MBrLE on order as well as a WoZ RR. Can’t wait to add the 2 more.

The hands are cool. Have had them about 6-8 months. Add more depth to the game, but they do block some visual shots. I think the look is worth it.

I have an older Energy 10” sub sitting around. It’s powered and was near $300 back in the day ( + - 10 yrs ago). Thing is brand new. Only used it about 6 months. Can you hook up ANY powered sub to this game with alligator clips? Would prob shake my house if I did

Over 11 billion twice! Got to Save Xandar on one of those games. Still enjoy playing. That was almost a year ago

11 billion. Did this twice. Saved Xandar once. Great game even to this day

Not many out the side lanes. Even before I moved them the sidelanes really aren’t an issue with this game. It comes down to having multipliers during cherry bomb. I’ve scored over 1 billion in cherry bomb alone. Add that to immolation and xandar with multipliers and you can get it there. Now if only rocket would stop firing tha ball SDTM I would be ok!!! Dammit rocket!

Finished all the characters last night. Finished Orb multiball and needed to finalize Groot multiball for Immolation. Finished Groot on my last ball then Immolation lit! I nailed it and played Immolation for what seemed like an eternity. Lost all the balls except one and there is was. The blinking PURPLE Save Xandar scoop shot. Then, the FU@&ing right lane swallowed it up. I wanted to cry!! LOL. 6 billion was well respected by the family. Not my top of 11 billion but dam fun. Really love this game. Been 1.5 years and still choose to play at least once a week. Have 7 to choose from luckily.

Quoted from sirlonzelot:

Did anyone install Groot arms in a pro. Saw that Marco has them available. Wonder if these where easy to install in a pro or if brackets needed.

Installed them on my pro. Super easy to do. I actually just redid the brackets that came with it. I didn’t like that the hands would wiggle and sometimes drop so low they would hit the ball. I replaced the Velcro with high power earth magnets. Installed the magnets on the plastic bracket and a piece of metal on the bottom of Groots hands. Now hold perfect
