dunno prob 8-32 or 10-32, but I'd get one of these to have at the house for situations like these - save you lots of time when you drop a screw or nut and lose it: https://www.titanpinball.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=58&product_id=73
and while you're at it, I'd get their magnet tool and flat wrench. https://www.titanpinball.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=24&product_id=83 https://www.titanpinball.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=24&product_id=152

It could be the thing with these ring kits is they are user submitted. So guy could have decided he didn't want or need post rubbers and possibly ordered some extra post rings. Whenever I buy a ring kit from the database I always check against the stern manual, which also unfortunately is not always complete either. I usually double check the game against the manual and order a few extra.

That never helped when I had the problem on AIQ. I'm pretty sure it's fixable by flattening the crease in the ramp flap, I'll get to it this week sometime.

Right, and premium only. It doesn't score much and it doesn't directly play into any modes, but it does factor in to the modes that count something per-switch, particularly Invalid Frenzy and Pteranodon Attack.

Is it a regular thing to buy an entire titan kit (expensive to us mortals) without knowing what you're buying AND for a brand new game with brand new rubbers? I am the KING of replacing shit that doesn't 100% need replacing but buddy...that's past my threshold.

That’s annoying , I was going back and forth with titan about the posts and other rings. Then was given the link to buy the full set for the game. Thinking the posts are included since that’s what I was mainly talking about with the owner. Well I emailed him saying this kit is not full and has a lot of extra unneeded rings. I trusted they had the correct rings in the kit otherwise I would have just bought what I wanted individually.

I never buy kits. I always build my own based off the game, plus extras for some areas. Kits are often wrong.

For me it is. A full set of replacements with a few extras is 50-75 bucks. These are 7k plus games, you are not a mere mortal if you are buying pinball machines.

Black rubber gets the playfield and everything in the game dirty faster and it gets all over things. Titans don't. They also add some nice color pop to your game. People put so much junk in these games, replacing the standard rubbers is an upgrade well worth it to me.

Also, promo code buffalo, will always get you 10% off your order, you can thank the buffalo pinball podcast for that.

They sell the blue or the sunset version. You can ask them for the color you prefer. I went with the blue one for my last two machines.

Just so I understand, as I've never heard this before...you are saying that the black rubbers that come OEM actually leach onto the ball and playfield and dirty up things?

My JP came the same way as yours (small steel post w/o any rubber at the bottom of the right out lane next to the shooter lane). My GZ game also has this same steel post w/o rubber. On both games I covered the post with a short piece of flexible clear tubing (ID was just enough for a tight fit). Doing this saves the ball from another small nick in it from occasionally bumping the steel post.

I personally wouldn’t say that, but more power to you!

This is and has been a normal thing for decades...I have picked up many machines in the wild that looked horrible on the PF from black rubber. Turns out that this rubber on the pf protected these playfields over the years. Go figure

Markharris2000

Mark do you know what size nut I need for this?

Do you have a link to what you used? Assume a stock post rubber would make the outlane too tight?

The second stock picture of these looks awful, with the orange skyline of the blades paired up with the blue skyline of the back board. Better stick with blue if going for these (they do look nice).

Did you look to see if it was on the bottom of your cabinet? Take the coin tray out and look in there, too.

If it’s gone, take the one off another up down post assembly and put it in a ziplock bag. Bring it to Home Depot and match it up. Worst case, HD doesn’t have it in store and they’ll do free shipping for the part. Should be an 8-32 lock nut: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-8-32-Zinc-Plated-Steel-Keep-Lock-Nut-4-per-Bag-800618/204281837

But might be 6-32 or 10-32

Here is my full ring kit for JP Premium/LE. This kit includes just 1 extra post sleeve (green) as an alternate for the post near the upper flipper if you want to match the flipper rubber. Compare your kit to mine and you'll see what you have that is extra and what you are missing.

I do know the Pro kit is different (not as many posts, I think).

Thank you

Thanks, Looks like 11 of the post sleeves I am missing, spoke to titan they are sending them out. Thanks again.

Do yourself a favor. Buy superbands for the posts. Anything less will probably wear out quickly. Ask me how I know....

I love the way they look in my machine and match the sunset color on the cabinet. I also love the blue ones as mark has. Different strokes buddy.

Lol. I'm amazed at how dirty both my new Sterns were after a few hundred plays, perhaps that's the answer.

Refer to page 47, item #9, it's a 10-32 KEPS Nut.

Which sizes are needed for Jurassic Park?

These, correct?

Did you change the back board at all? Understood the cabinet orange looks nice with the orange side blades, but what about the blue back board skyline paired with the orange side blade skyline?

It really is a matter of taste. The Wiz blades come in Sunset and Blue-Sky variants for that reason. The backboard tends to be blue tones, and the cabinet tends to be sunset tones. So you have to choose one 'vision' for the sideblades, or choose something from another sideblade vendor that has a different look and feel altogether. Remember, your machine, your choice on aesthetics/cosmetics/mods, etc

(Don't forget to PLAY the machine!)

I didn't and haven't seen one available. The blue wasn't my thing because of the sunset on the sides. You don't have to like my setup. I'm ok with that. Lol

If Pinball1987 was to get the orange sunset side blades for his Pro, I would just change the lighting of the back board to have more orange accents to blend it with the sunset side blades. Just my two cents. His cab doesn't have the sunset theme to match up with, so I'd just go blue and be done with it.

Isn't that the bees knees?

Good information here, if I go with the wiz I’ll get blue to match the back.

It'd look great with the blue.

Solid idea

It took owning these to realize that the special armor with two distict colors aren't two powder-coated colors, but one powder coat and the other from foil cardboard tape onto the backside after powder coating.

Great example of what this armor can look like when done up nicely: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/i-can-powder-coat-your-pinball-armor-for-29500-plus-return-shipping/page/17#post-7608159

Does anyone know if full apron graphics (not apron card) or apron with graphics is sold for JP? Ideally it would have the hole for an insiders connect addition.

Wizardmods.com has a bunch of full apron overlays incl JP with the QR reader cutout. https://www.wizardmod.com/product-page/jurassic-park-pro-insider-cut-out-pinball-wizaprons

I had the black on my Metallica,and the black was definitely making my playfield dirty. Once I switched them out,my microfiber towel that I use to clean the playfield never looks dirty anymore after a cleaning.

Anyone still not on stern ic?

Me.

My JP is an earlier build and doesn't have the IC hardware.

My Godzilla Premium has IC but I have all that disabled.

I don't need to have these devices sitting on my network and I do all of my updates via USB.

Come on old schooler. Get that connected it’s not going to slow down your servers !!! Might as well get some candles lite instead of lights

sorry...that is ugly....

I feel you but now i want to see what ic is about. Im also an early build.

It's worthwhile to have IC at this time.

Achievements adds an extra dimension to the fun.
Great way to store and understand your activity.

I am getting concerned that DLC is coming and if/when it does I will pull the pin and just be happy to play my games as they are.

Home team works well.
It will be awesome when Home leader boards become available for IC.
I'm a little unsure how it can be made fair ?, I'm sure Stern will figure something out.
There are a number of processes that could be put in place to keep it fair I guess.

Is there a deathsave goal yet?

We have had a lot of fun with IC. Should give it a try.

Never will hook up

Just got the ball in the same spot.

I have the fix for that in my store.

Oh snap

Hahaha classic

Anyone selling their ic?

Me, I couldn't care less about it.

Have you seen anything better? Just curious. The stock apron setup feels too mechanical with its setup of 5 things on a plain black apron. Personally like the look of the rule card apron cover. Definitely see why some of you get it powered coated a different color.

The truth can be blinding sometimes

Doh! Maybe its just cuz i haven't dabbled around in it....
