I am officially part of this club. Picked up a brand new machine from Little Shop of Games on Saturday. I have a few questions.

Where can I get the moving T-Rex mod for this? I've seen a lot of mumblings on it across the net but no store.

Where is the extra ball located on this game? I got it lit but could not find the light on the playfield.

I installed a shaker motor which was a huge improvement, glad I did that. I've ordered a few mods. Barbasol can, raptor toy with light, 3D raptor pen, flipper caution stickers, and spinning helicopter blade all from mezel.

Is there anyway to get the premium pop bumper tops in the aftermarket?

Also what is the button used for

Ah oh I was looking at the playfield for the light haha.

Yeah I keep failing the smart missile because I didn't realize you scroll through anything, I'm just hitting the button trying to launch the missile.

It's been ordered, thanks for the info!

I have a shaker installed and don't mind it at all because the machine goes crazy

I don't understand how the hell you're reliably supposed to hit that smart missile

I'm not having issues with the sling constantly draining the ball but strangely enough I am having issues with the auto launcher not launching the ball up the helipad ramp

I love your setup, where'd you get the other dino toys and how'd you set them up?

Yeah this is getting worse with every play I guess I need to do this. And no it doesnt work with either the auto or the manual most of the time.

What'd you do to the outlane post exactly. Also wouldn't reducing the flipper power make it more difficult to get up the ramps?

Having a small issue with the t-rex ramp switch. Probably 10% of the time the switch doesn't activate causing lost skill shots and progression in general. Anyone have this issue?

Word. I'll try those things tonight, thanks guys!

Does anyone have any experience just ordering some plastic palm trees from amazon? They're like 1/10 the price than from the mod shops.

Speaking of cheap crap being repackaged by these mod shops, I got the 3D raptor toy "mod" the other day. It was $50. Extremely unimpressed. The hole they drilled in the tail was WAYYYYYY off from where it needed to be so I had to drill my own. So essentially I paid $50 for a raptor toy, 25 cents worth of a screw and bracket, and a small plastic dome. Would not recommend.

I'd like to give an update on some mods I've installed. I mentioned earlier the 3D raptor toy that was poorly done. Well today I got a box of mods from mezel mods and I'd like to give people a cautionary tale.

First up I went to install the spinning helicopter mod. The instructions say to just pull on the post and unscrew it and it will come undone. This was NOT the case. This took me about an hour to accomplish. The screw underneath would just spin with the post no matter what. I had to get a pair of needlenose pliers to get underneath it and grab the tiny screw while unscrewing it. Even doing this was INCREDIBLY difficult. My hands are all torn up and it took me an hour all said and done. Instructions were very poor. Also in the instructions it shows there's 3 pieces of tape stuck to the bottom. I only got one unattached that I had to cut up into smaller pieces.

Secondly I got the raptor pen mod. The instructions and pictures on their page make it seem like it comes with 2 pieces of wire. Instead I got 1 and it was all wrapped around itself which led to the wire being all bent up. The biggest issue however was that one of the pegs that have the holes that you thread the wire through was broken off at some point in the manufacturing process. It wasn't anywhere in the box so it must have happened on location. Also the idea that you're supposed to be able to easily tape on the 10,000 volt sign onto the wire is pretty silly. There's no way it would have held on it was just barely hanging on. I ended up super gluing it to the wire.

Overall given what I paid I'm pretty unimpressed.

That being said I took the instructions of 2manyhobbies and added the brachiosaurus and it looks great.

That's dope thanks but I already got this one on with super glue.

I noticed a rattling coming from the rear left of the machine yesterday during louder moments in the game. Anyone else notice this?

The ball getting caught up in the top is a real problem for me, anyone else? I'm constantly having to tilt because the ball gets stuck.

In the pop bumpers behind the wire in the smart missile shot and behind the gate above the spitter mostly

That's what they told me when I emailed them but their pictures on their page have it unbroken

If I were you I'd wipe the sd card and start with a fresh image

I don't get it. The settings say the auto replay is set to 65 mil but I never get the replay

It's been set to extra ball since day one

I need to finally get around to adjusting the launch fork ramp, it's really having issues getting up the starting ramp. Also I checked my machine with a level and it seems like it's properly leveled but the ball just repeatedly gets suck up at the top of the game in the pops area and near the spitter gate. idk

It's both the auto and manual plunger

I was under the impression that it's the left side of the fork that needs to be slightly lifted up

Yeah that's where it's at I'll check it out

Have had my pro for a few weeks, shaker is VERY worth it as most have said here.

Is there anyway to order some better pop bumper tops for the pro? Normally everything has a detailed part number but of course to push people towards the more expensive machines nothing unique to the premium has a parts number

I installed the moving trex mod into my pro yesterday. Good stuff. It's more than just a trex that mindlessly moves, you plug some wires into a few of the switches and the trex will look in that direction and such. Highly recommend it if you're looking to shrink that gap between the pro and premium.

My tower opto stopped working after only like 6 months. Thoughts? Did it just go bad or what? I spent like an hour messing with it earlier and didn't get a single read on it

Yeah I couldn't get anything. I took both optos out and pointed then point blank at each other and got nothing. Reseated the connectors on the node board. Stern is sending me some replacements but they're taking their sweet time. Been over a week and they haven't even shipped them.

Wish there was a way to turn that ramp off in the game.

Does anyone know why the extra ball doesn't work sometimes? I have it set for extra ball instead of replay and it's fixed and I swear it only works like half the time.
