I am now in the club, courtesy of LSOG. The build date on mine is 09/26/2022.

I am making sure to get all of the plastics and the scoop protected before playing it. I will be adding the support rails as the next mod followed by some speaker upgrades.

This is my 1st Stern with the LCD and I must say that I do like the new cabinet design and screen.

I was able to do a few more mods today. I installed the playfield support brackets from pinballlife the instructions were great and there were already dimples on the underside of the playfield where you have to drill the 4 holes. (It’s impossible to actually work on the game without the brackets, the pegs are useless). I also changed out the clear plastic on the back of the left ramp.

I removed this stupid sticker that Stern put on the inside of the Translight, it was really bothering me for some reason. Looks much cleaner to me, I did have to gently clean a bit of sticker residue that was left behind after I removed the sticker. I have not really noticed these stickers before when looking at other Pinsiders machines, have they been putting these on all of the recent games ?

Do any GOTG owners on here know where to get this Rocket kickback cover mod ? It covers the bare metal in the kickback lane.

I think it may have been Mezel mods, however it is not listed on their site as either being in stock or out of stock. (Delisted).

Are there any other options out there for covering the bare metal towards the back of kickback lane ?

Steel Tigers,

I had the same issue with my orb and the crystal not lighting up. It ended up being a bad crimp on one of the alligator clips.(The wire insulation was not punctured by the crimp and the wire was not making contact with the alligator clip). My solution was to solder the wires directly to the bulb socket on the underside playfield and that fixed it for me.
