So quick update on my list of items as it appears JJP is addressing a few of them at the factory. My plan of keeping my machine covered and out of the way for a week while the our basement was finished lasted all of 5 minutes. I am weak.
- replace flipper rubbers (I'm going with Titans) - DONE; went with purple for the bottom three and red for the upper PF mini
- make sure I know how to calibrate the sensors - my Dizzy keyboard sensor was too sensitive and was randomly going off for the first 3-4 games. Multiple calibrations were not doing much to solve it...but then it was fixed. I'm just not sure when/how. We haven't seen the issue in past 15-20 games so all looks to be good.
- check flipper alignment with inlanes (thanks vitty - post 1545) - DONE; no adjustment was needed
- check spinning disk to ensure it is level with the PF. It appears that the discs issues from the early LEs are fixed. - DONE, no adjustment was needed (except for swapping out my Spaghetti Incident sticker when JJP (hopefully) offers replacements )
- check plunger spring as some CEs spring are too long? - DONE; no adjustment was needed. Plunger working great for me OOTB so I'm not sure if they switched springs or not. My spring looks to be .75" and not 1"
- check angle of the plunger gate to ensure ball cleanly exits to right flipper - DONE; no adjustment needed but will keep an eye on it
- check angle of the upper playfield exit lane to ensure the ball guide does not feed it through the right outlane - DONE; no adjustment needed. The ball safely lands high up, away from the right outlane.
- check Coma lock to ensure to is working properly - I locked a ball in there but have not gotten to Coma multiball yet but it seems to work just fine. I do love the lighting effects in the lock and when you lose the ball at the end. Fun pinball moments throughout this game.
- check left ramp diverter to make sure it is not digging into the PF - DONE; no adjustment needed. Although my PF had a very small mark, it was clear that the diverter was adjusted at the factory as it cannot hit the PF at its lowest point with how it is positioned.
- add ground loop isolator for topper - TBD as I am not able to install the topper until it is moved into final resting spot
- check bass center string to make sure ball doesn't get stuck - DONE; no adjustment needed
Lastly, I know it has be said a thousand times..there are not enough thank yous to go around for Hogbog and the whole team at JJP for those of us that just want to play pinball, immerse ourselves in a new experience, and not take things so seriously. Your passion for taking things to the next level is clear and I'm excited for what you guys have in store for this hobby for years to come. Congrats!
