Unscrew then tap out lightly from below. It's easier to take the apron off then loosen the one guide rail over the other pin to get it out.

Cliff really should have better installation instructions, seems like everyone asks this same question. You have to carefully push them out from underneath the playfield.

That is weird - it should only reward the skill shot and not activate the paddock on that shot. The fact that it starts the paddock shows that the game did sense the ball on the left ramp. I'm not sure whether there is a setting for turning off the skill shots - do any of the other skill shots work? I would be tempted to do a factory reset ...

Edit: In case you're not familiar with the other secret skill shots, they are:
- short plunge and hit the "C"
- short plunge and hit the "O"
- short plunge and hit the Amber target in the pops

^ And by push them out he means hammer them out.

Another newbie NIB question (sorry)...

Are these visible circle patterns normal on a NIB pin? Only visible in bright, overhead light and at certain angles. Is it just part of the clearcoat? I'm probs being way too pedantic -- new to all this, so sorry if it's been asked a ton.

They're very fine, appear to be sorta everywhere, kinda. I've seen them on other playfields of course, just didn't know if this is normal for a factory pin.

Photo makes it look a bit more pronounced than it looks in person.

Thanks!

The best way to fix that is to grab a beer and press the start button.

Haha, I like the spirit. Seriously though... thinking maybe I asked a dumb question and this is totally normal?
Beers, regardless.

Sterns normal quality! Also, that insert should not be raised - hard to tell from photo.

You’re all good man. It’s fine. Just play and have some fun. If you read these forums all day, you’ll go insane thinking you need to slap metal and Mylar over everything. It’s a pinball machine. It will be fine. Play the shit out of it and don’t worry about minor things.

Testifyyyyy!, (cue the bart simpson clip)

Yeah pretty standard now. Here's what I did. Clean it with some Novus 1 (not Novus 2 which is abrasive), then do a really good waxing with Blitz wax, use whatever lets you get at everything...a little foam ball, an applicator pad, a small microfiber, your hand...let dry for 25 minutes. Lightly buff to a shine...Repeat. I have found with repeated cleaning and waxing, those little swirls go away and the playfield does start to shine a lot. Now I just clean it regularly and wax lightly occasionally. Then turn off the overhead lights and stop trying to find marks and just play...the focus on the little imperfections will fade quickly

for the cliffy install, when reinstalling those bolts, don't overtighten. i broke off one of mine and had to order a replacement.

I have a question for prem/LE owners about the red Combo indicator light at the heli pad.
With the last update it should have been fixed but the light still doesn't makes sense to me.
It also lights up during heli blade rotation. The light should flash during an ongoing combo.

Hello All. Just a reminder that of you're looking for the proper jeep and also need plastic protectors, I ordered to many of both and

...That node error is because you have the coin door open man.

Unless you're planning to install a playfield protector on it (which many don't recommend), I wouldn't worry about these - your playfield is about to get a shit ton worse after playing (dimples, scratches, etc.).. This is not a hobby for perfectionists or worriers - just play it and have fun.

I believe there is a nylon nut underneath, and you have to gently pound it out with a hammer. I think it's been covered a couple pages ago.

Swapping the balls should be part of your regular maintenance, like waxing/polishing/cleaning the playfield and rubber parts. Keep in mind that the balls in the JP machine must be resistant to magnetic shifting. This means the ball itself picks up and retains some magnetization when the Trex grabs it. Some balls are better than others, and usually advertise themselves as magnetic resistant. I think Sterns JP ship with G100's which are also magnetic resistant.

As for shine/finish, remember the lower the number the shinier, so on other machines I have been using some Titan G16's and replacing them every 250 games. I have not done so on my JP due to the magnetic issue and I only have 75 games on it. I may try these next swap. (All six balls!)

Totally agree.

Hope all is well over there in your neck of of the woods brotha! Congrats on grabbing Vittys JP that thing looks sweet!

I just resolve the problem!!!!!! the shooter lane switch do not detected the balls, a simply adjust and done!!!!

Check out this T rex head, by Lior
You will want this for your Jurassic Park, Stern Pinball
Detail is amazing.

Must have mod for sure.

Is that a skin that will work on premium? Count me in!

It is a whole replacement head.

Jaw would have to be super narrow to fit the ramp correctly.

How about a more realistic replacement for the bowing velociraptor on Prem/LE?

So I'm guessing it's only a replacement for the pro.

Can you guys tell me how your game plays? When I shoot for the helipad ramp, and miss, it drains back out and hits the rubber in the picture. This send the ball all over the place. The rubber in my game is not factory. I did not install it. Maybe it’s fatter? Is the ball supposed to feed back to the right flipper? Or is this the ways it’s designed?

Those are silicon rubbers and I have the same. Mine will knock the ball to the left flipper on a miss. Helps to take another shot at the heli pad. If ball ball has little momentum, it drops near the right outlane and that is dangerous.

I'm not going to reveal anything from my private conversation with Lior, but be on the lookout sometime today/tomorrow for a new thread where he will be highlighting what he is doing for JP.

I have the stock rings that came with the game, and mine hits the rubber on the way out of there and bounces over to the left flipper.

here is the all info
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/stern-jurassic-park-sculpted-mods-by-the-art-of-pinball#post-5900678

I have this same problem as soon as I put Titan rubbers on. My only suggestion is to go back to stock rubbers on that spot at least.
My game plays much more difficult since I put Titans on. I have Titans on all my other games as well and I don’t find this to be the case.

I’m probably just making excuses because I suck

I have noticed the only way to make the playfield level is by completely extending the front two posts at their highest points. The machine is now level but it just does not look right compared to my other machines, as the front two legs are raised all the way up. Does anyone know if this is normal for this playfield?

Any videos out there for Cliffy protector installs on JP?

put a washer under the left-fork screw on the shooter lane. It then did 5 proper auto-launches in a row, and then shortly after that it was 50/50 again for making it up the shooter ramp. sigh

It doesn't sound right - I have my back legs as high as they can go (so the machine sits as high as possible) and the front legs are approx only half way with a 7 degree pitch. Even if you had a lesser pitch of 6.5 I doubt that you'd get anywhere near the max on the front legs

Check each ball individually and see if specific balls are failing all the time - I've heard of this being an issue and worth checking

OMG that sounds like madness. What could be the difference given the tolerances of pinballs?

Yep I agree it sounds like a bunch of BS

The pinball tech said that some of the balls could have become magnetised, now both the owner and myself were sceptical that this could be the possible cause of balls failing to make the U-ramp however the tech found that a couple of the balls regularly failed whereas the other balls would make the ramp. The failed balls were swapped out and as far as I'm aware it has resolved the issue. Note the owner had previously gone through all the usual causes and advice on the thread, so I'm still scratching my head on this one ... but hey if it works then I guess it's worth considering ...

Beware my bubble level was a little bit loose and make incorrect measurements

Hello all,

I wanted to share how I installed some of the cliffies in case it helps someone. While I was in there I made some other tweaks.

1. Cliffies jp kit now includes a protector for the raptor pit gate. You'll need to remove the gate which is four screws and three connectors. My suggestion is to use a dental pick if you have one to get the clip part of the cliffy over the bottom of the playfield, see below

2. The trough side cliffy was a bit of a pain. I really had to push so it didn't overhang the shooter lane while I was tightening the two winged studs. The picture below is before I readjusted. It also has a wave because of variations in playfields vs. his fixed stud to stud difference

3. I didn't install his carbon fiber upper post protector, the new games don't have paint there so mine isn't having an issue. It also requires removing the third flipper base or having a thin wrench

4. I noticed the apron was digging in to the playfield. I put down some thin mylar strips under where the edge of the apron sits, see below

5. I was having issues making the ramp when launching from the shooter lane. I tried the washer with no improvement. As mentioned above, check that your auto launch is contacting at two points. This seems to have fixed my issue for now. See picture below for how I went about bending the launch

Hopefully this helps someone. Overall the cliffy installation was easy as long as you are semi handy with tools. Be careful not to lose any nuts or washers and don't force anything.

I believe you can change the power of the coils in settings?
