I'll have to look at ours in league tomorrow. We noticed last night that the back target wasn't registering. Turns out that it was wedged to the left and stuck behind the rubber and permanently closed. It almost looks like I need to bend the bracket to the right a little to get it away from the rubber.

Thanks for posting the resolution. I'll make sure the wire isn't in the way tomorrow before I start drinking at the tournament.

I think sk8ball is Keith based on his comments in this thread, but I could be wrong.

Add me to that list if you don't mind sharing. I'd be curious to try it out.

I can see this becoming the next pinstadium product.

Anyone have a fix for a truck that doesn't rotate correctly? It spins around just fine, but seems to get stuck about 1/4" away from the newton ball on both sides. Whack the side of the game or flip the flippers a few times and it settles in.

It's the one at leagues. I pulled it apart last night, cleaned the assembly and put a small bit of super lube on the ball bearing washer. It spins around better, but that last 1/4" is still an issue.

Thanks. We looked at that and there is plenty of clearance between the optos. I tried giving it no play, a lot of play and just a little play with the same result. It's that last 1/4" where it gets bound up. It spins around really well, hits the newton ball and bounces up about 1/4" and just stays there. A few flips or smacks on the side of the cabinet and it falls back down.

Can anyone tell me what they paid on a new Premium recently?

That apron is pretty bad ass. How much did that run?

That's pretty much exactly what it is. You're just adding a little protection to places that are known to have issues. As for price, no clue. Probably best to ask him.

Weren't you gluing plastic trees to yours? Some might call that bastardizing and some might like it. You don't have to take a dump in someone's Cheerios just because they don't like the same things you like.

I could give two shits what you think. I just find it amusing that you have your panties in a knot because someone wanted to change the call outs and videos on their game.

Sounds like this is a reoccurring theme for you.....

Don't feed the trolls.

Can someone help me with a rule question. We have one in leagues and I was messing around after finals and ran all the way to the Visitors Center after heading down the right side of the map. I was able to capture the raptors and I think I finished the mode. However, when I was done, the Visitors Center insert was still slowly pulsing. There were also no more white shots to go after paddocks.

It was almost like the game ran out of stuff for me to do, which I know wasn't the case. There were a few of us at the machine and it wasn't apparent to any of us as to what I was supposed to do next.

Sorry. Maybe my post wasn’t clear. I started Visitors Center, captured both raptors and got to the victory targets part.

When I got back to one ball, the Visitors Center was still pulsing and there weren’t any white shots. There wasn’t anything to do.

Gotcha. Makes sense. I assumed you could go back through the paddocks you didn’t do on the way to the visitors center.

How are the control room modes lit? From what I saw, capturing the first dinosaur lights the first one. What would I need to do light them after the first one with no paddocks lit?

I'd love to grab a Premium, but can't justify it after my distributor and Stern basically telling me to pound sand after my BM66 Catmoman play field started falling apart within 2 weeks of getting it.

I wish you all the best of luck getting your new games! JP is one of my absolute favorites.

Don't feed the troll.

I'm not speaking directly about the person that said to go to 5 balls, but some people just don't have the coordination to get far in a game on 3 balls. You could give my wife 27 balls and she would probably never make it to Visitors Center. She doesn't have the hand eye coordination to do it and she knows it. She still enjoys playing from time to time, but it's just not wired into her brain like it is to some people.

I've always been in the camp that it's your game, so whatever you want to do is fine with me. On the other hand, I like to make them as hard as possible. My Metallica has no outlane rubbers with the posts as wide as possible. Lightning flippers and no ball save. Sparky takes 14 hits to get to and comes with a whopping 4s ball saver.

To each his own has always been my thoughts.

I'm possibly, maybe considering picking up a JP Premium, but have only ever played the Pro. I probably have 150+ games on the Pro from having it in leagues for 4 or 5 seasons. I absolutely love the game.

Does the dinosaur head kill the flow of the game? Are there issues with the head mech? I like the raptor pit upgrade and the helicopter, but wasn't sure about the dinosaur head so I thought I'd ask.

I don't have access to play the Premium.

Thank you!
