I have the modfather shooter rod on order...
Does anyone have the light kit part of the shooter rod made up yet?
Quoted from Andy_Chapman:First pin, first mods! Took me a while to find the right sized Raptor and Pteradon that I was looking for, but pleased with how they came out.
Both were re-painted to match the colors on the playfield. I've also stuck some clear self adhesive domes on the Raptor cage lights for effect.

Nice job. Where did you get the pterdon
on my premium. The left side light under the apron isnt working. Its not a bulb but an led on a tiny board. Any ideas
Quoted from 85vett:Check to see if you are getting 5V (I believe that is what the GI is on this game) to it. If so, replace the board as it's gone bad (pretty uncommon). If not getting 5V then look for the break in the line as it could have gotten damaged at some point.
Super noob question but I used my multimeter for 2nd time ever. One of the wires attaching is reading 5. The other is reading nothing
Quoted from 85vett:One wire is power and the other is ground. Only the power line would be at 5V. My assumption is it worked at some point so confirming you have power now, that tells me it sounds like a bad board.
Here is a pick of the wiring
20200817_180947 (resized).jpgFinal update...the crack team at stern wired it in reverse. Resoldered it the right way and it works.
Quoted from seenev:I guess they don't even check to see if all the lights come on when they do their quality inspections?
To be fair, I played a few hundred games and didn't notice. Ha
Quoted from 85vett:I'll just add to the above a bit. Some games you want to stack a MB with a mode to really blow up the score (like GOT and the Lanister-Greyjoy stack) while others it's better to play modes outside of MB. In JP I feel it's better across the board to play modes by themselves and MB on their own when possible. The MB's in this game require precision shots to get to any worthwhile scoring ops plus when in MB it makes completing Paddocks harder (at least for me). That Heli Pad shot while in MB always kills me plus the faster dinos seem to always get to the workers before I can trap up and effectively shoot the more precise shots like the raptor tower, C, O and helipad shots. Scoring really comes with methodical shots and focusing on completing each thing you start. Each side mode (TREX, Control Room, pterandon, etc) can be very valuable if played well but can be real hard to do when to much is going on.
For instance, I pulled this one off last night using the focus on one thing at a time strategy Still no Escape Nebular though as my Dino keeps blocking shots. Turned it off and kids got POed at me so turned it back on until I get a replacement... I was super excited about that score, then a friend of mine sent me just his Pterandon score and I realized I still have a way to go to take him down if we ever get to play in leagues again... I'm sure some of you may recognize his initials. [quoted image][quoted image]
You mentioned blocking shots. Mine does this on roughly 5% of my Trex shots. Any suggestions on how to mitigate?
