Stern, 2022At an awesome arcade in San Francisco with 60 pins called free gold watch (stupid name). Wife sees the bond pro and is like what is Dr No pin? I said it’s Bond and she got confused like I didn’t know they made another bond. Stern really jacked that translight up with no bond name. Lol

Yeah, Dr. No was a stupid decision for the Pro translite. I swapped to the James Bond 007 one from one of the users here, and it 100% should have stock (or something similar).

Yes, saw the same thing at the Louisville show. A group of late teens walked by and said "What is Dr. No? like that was the theme. They could have just just the same artwork with James Bond 007 as the title.
Update: power pack mode will NOT trigger if you have Jet Pack set to easy (two shots for first muliti, default is currently extra easy/1 shot). Changed back to factory/extra easy and it triggered right off after JPM like it is supposed to. Did not test other settings.

Yeah, I had a bunch of non-pinball guys over last week, everyone said " that thunderball machine is pretty cool"

Thx, yeah that's a bug!

I think "Free Gold Watch" is a very deep-cut 80's reference. If you're familiar with it, it's a great name.
Norris_and_Cressner (resized).jpgQuoted from Disruptor71:Next code update on Friday?
What will be in there?
Quoted from Nicholastree:Thursday would be the usual day. I've given up on trying to guess what they give us next. At least we know the Q gadgets are pretty much done. Would be nice to have Bond Girls. Or at least a wizard mode for when you get all six henchmen or villains. And then there are the multipliers many have been calling for...
George Gomez said the next release will include the action button driven playfield multiplier. I think this is how the Bond Girls fit into the game. You qualify levels of multiplier by hitting the Bond Girl shot and then you invoke it using the action button. Sounds fun, really looking forward to this added strategic dimension.
Might be wishful thinking, but fingers crossed for this Thursday!
Quoted from Coolpinballdino:Just installed these side rails I picked up at Pinfest looks nice on the game.

They are so cool! Do they sell them online by any chance?

Yep - I think they add a nice touch too!
Pinside_forum_7498041_3318694 (resized).jpgQuoted from chuckie007:I had a bit of a problem with the ball getting deflected by the spinner before it headed up the left orbit. I tweaked the spinner bracket and this helped, but some of my shots still changed direction (or bricked) after hitting the spinner.
I also experienced right flipper fade for the first time. After about 20-30 minutes of play, it became more difficult to hit shots up the ramp at the back of the game. Eventually, even my cleanest hits only made it part way up the ramp. I guess the flipper coil became too hot and lost some of its power. I checked the power settings for the right flipper and it was set to its default setting (255). This is as high as it could be set.
Any suggestions besides letting the coil cool down? I see there are flipper coil cooling kits available.
Well, I finally discovered why I was having problems making shots through the left orbit spinner and completely up the ramp at the back of the machine.
At first I thought it was a combination of a misaligned spinner and eventual flipper power fade as I played for longer sessions. Then I inspected the right flipper assembly more closely and discovered that the coil stop was defective.
PinMonk recommended that I inspect the flipper coil stops because they are prone to failure on Stern machines. Thank you, PinMonk!!!
I have ordered 3 new coil stops from Pinball Life ($5 each) to replace the ones supplied by Stern. I am also ordering flipper coil cooling fans from PinMonk.
Since I have only owned my 007 Pro for two weeks, I am not sure if I have ever played a game with the full power of my right flipper.

Agree they are pretty.

Do those come colormatched to the LE ? Where can I order a set.
Anyone know why the PREMIUM Bond ratings aren't being included in the top 100 by this point? Bond was released much earlier than FOO, yet the latter already has all 3 levels of its game included in the tabulations. Is it just because owners are waiting for the code to be more complete? PS: I own a Premium and already rated mine last week.

Need 50 ratings.
"This game has received 38 approved Pinsider ratings. 12 more approved ratings are needed to get a rating and for it to be eligible for the Pinside Pinball Top 100 ranking. "

Keep the two extras on standby. You only need to replace them if they have become loose, nub disconnected and rattling on the plate.

The Ledge?
Welp. Finally got to play power pack by setting jet pack to super easy. Really fun mode.
I’ve also recently realized that if you get all the green shots in jet pack mb before hitting the rocket, they start blinking for double jackpots, which builds towards the rocket value. Many prob know this but if you don’t I think it contributes to making this mode a lot of fun.
Quoted from Mrsiyufy:Do those come colormatched to the LE ? Where can I order a set.
Want a set of the black one's for my Prem but i couldn't find any details online for sales 
In fact, there's absolutely no mention anywhere on the net about these particular lollipop rails (at least i haven't found any)
Quoted from NunoDirector:They are so cool! Do they sell them online by any chance?
I'm not sure I check online and did not see them. I bought them from another pinside member who brought them to pinfest.
I don't know whether its a code glitch or just something in the game play that I'm missing, but my LE has recently started dimming its lights for a second or two, then back to full, then dim again, repeating a few times then returning to normal brightness. The only other time I've seen it do this is when you have a special mode activated for a timed single shot, like the Goldfinger switch on the right ramp or that tarantula sequence.
Anyone else seeing this or know whether it is a glitch or deliberate?
Someone on FB just put up a Bond Pro and people are low balling him because the goodie back is off the staple.
This trend is by far the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. If you have all the stuff inside the goodie bag but it’s off the staple, who gives a crap?
I never pulled mine off but I’m going to when I get home on principle. That way if I ever sell it, it will weed out the dumbasses.
I've always taken out my goodie bag, who the hell cares if it's stapled as long as everything is there. And really how many classic games people buy that don't have the manual even anymore? What petty crap

It’s so stupid. We should take a stand against this BS and rip those bags out!

You mean bird 1 multiball?

if selling as NIB then it should be as close to out of the box condition as possible. Why rip the bag off? what purpose does that serve? Not like its in the way.

Lol we found a Goodie bag guy.
Who cares if you do rip it off? What is the difference? If you upgrade the speaker to a larger cabinet speaker it’s in the way.
It’s not for sale as NIB. It’s for sale with 500 plays

I used the extra post that was in there. And the 007 keychain.
Quoted from Grantman:I used the extra post that was in there. And the 007 keychain.
A guy was selling a Godzilla LE with 12 plays on it for 5k but I walked away from the deal because the goodie bag staple was loose. All the stuff was there, but one side of the staple had come off the cabinet.
See how dumb that sounds?

I took the goodie bag out of my RUSH LE because it was laying on top of the subwoofer and making noise. Anymore, there's no real reason to take the bag off because there's nothing in there.
Quoted from Ollulanus:You mean bird 1 multiball?
Whoops. Yep.
If someone complains about the goodie bag on a game I am selling I would just move to the next person on the list. This is a sign they are going to be a super high maintenance buyer. What happens when they get the game home and god forbid a GI bulb goes out and they ask for a full refund. Just not worth the potential headaches.

Agreed, plus, and this is a huge plus, the goodie bag is there for us. We are the original owners. Enjoy yourself. Take that 007 keychain out, it’s bad ass.
If you are buying it to keep it in a box to try and make money off of it later on down the road, then you aren’t a pinball player, you are an investor, and in that case, hermetically seal it and forget about it for 10 years.
I’d rather enjoy it.

Now I gotta go look for a keychain....

BOTH Oz delivered Stern machines i've bought didn't even have the goodie bag stapled to the inside of the cab, it's inside the coin box......guess we're all FKD over here
Seriously though, if that's an issue for a potential buyer down the track, then as thekaiser82 said, that's the kind of buyer you IGNORE!!!..or at the very least you play this song for them (over the phone, in person) 
Quoted from Hashman:My Bond Pro came with a TMNT goodie bag :/
Holy shit! It is like a misprinted baseball card or comic…it must be worth millions!

If it was open then it wasn't NIB?
Quoted from wisefwumyogwave:Game is growing on me. Do the Q branch modes add any thing after you beat them? Like add any perks?
[quoted image]
Nice score man! As far as Q branch modes adding perks that’s a negative…but sure hope it’s in the works.
Quoted from wisefwumyogwave:Do the Q branch modes add any thing after you beat them?
Power Pack, DB5, Little Nellie, and Attache Case all have their own multiballs if you can complete those Q modes.

Yeah I got the helicopter one, kinda kewl just was excepting some perks which would be awesome in the future.
Hint hint mr.g!
Quoted from Mancave:Wednesday evening Bourbon & Bond
I must be sufficiently Bourbon "Relaxed" cause i finally beat my best score of 445M.
Loving this machine and it's only gonna get better!!![quoted image][quoted image]
Bourbon in a can? What sort of magical cylinder is this?
