Got it set up, played a few games, loving it! Need to clean playfield though, it’s very dusty.
I did hear something drop in the cab while playing. It’s a nut and I believe it dropped somewhere in the middle right back. I have been looking all over the back of the playfield and can’t find a spot for it. Any ideas?
Also noticed a sticker on the left outlane, does that belong?

Are you just a lover of commercial lock down bars and rails, or? I have no problem with it, just curious.
At least for me there are just a few minor things that could be upgraded to make it feel a bit more solid. Is it a game changer? No. Also for me, if they offered a pro version of this pin I would get it. I can’t get any new JP pros…or really any stern machine for that matter.
captainmuddflap I do not think a newer stern lock down will fit. I tried test fitting my mando bar and unless you do some serious modifications, I think it’s a no go. I did add some beer seal to the lock down bar and going to try the suggestions in another thread to add the anti rattle tape to the class and electrical tape to the side rails to make it feel a bit more secure. The beer seal also helped with the noise quite a bit!
Quoted from Flyfalcons:It does have an auto plunge, but my experience mirrors yours in that it will not fire on a failed plunge. Could be a software fix but that would be dependant on hardware (switch, etc) that would detect a failed plunge.
What is a failed plunge?
One issue I noticed is that the trough eject sometimes double fires, I’m wondering if the opto is dirty and causing it.
Quoted from Flyfalcons:When you plunge but the ball does not make it on to the playfield, and it falls back down the plunger lane.

I see Jack Danger posted a picture on his Facebook of a JP Pin box, so hopefully we'll see more gameplay videos from him on his production machine soon!
ahh I didn’t realize it was supposed to auto plunge on a failed plunge - I just hear the rev sound of the keep when I do it.
Quoted from Amarillopinball:Any method or guide?
I bought the 4" speaker plate from speakerlightkits and had to drill a few holes for it to fit where the bolts were for the second speaker. I haven't redone the first speaker mounting plate because that looks like it requires a few extra holes to be drilled to make it fit. That's on the to-do list 
RebelGuitars I'm assuming you had to do the same to replace the first speaker mounting plate, correct? I did take some pics but need to get them from my phone to my computer.
I made a few crimp pins for the molex connector but they were not the correct ones so they are, temporarily, shoved in there with electric tape. My new ones with the clip/spring should be here tomorrow.
I got the Pinnovators PINsub SPIKE2 kit which is plug and play - sub sounds awesome on JDJP. Especially the boom of the TREX.

Quoted from JordyRamone:Just got mine a couple days and I'm loving it. Just a few questions since I'm new at owning a pinball machine. When me and my buddy were inspecting the machine for loose screws and when we put the playfield down after looking at the bottom we heard something drop. It was a nut at the very back of the playfield. We looked for at least 20 mins to find where this nut is supposed to go and couldn't. Anyone have any idea where a not obvious location could be for this nut? I'm assuming it's from the back part but don't know for sure. Is it possible that this is a extra one? Cause I'm really stumped.
My second question is has anyone had trouble with the ball getting stuck at the back? I think it's between the metal flap and the plastic protector part under the jump ramp. I included pictures to help explain where the nut was and where the ball gets stuck. Thanks!

Same thing with me - I have a post in one of the JDJP pins. It was for some ramp on the back right if I remember. The nut is too big which is why it fell off. I haven’t replaced with a smaller one and no issues 500+ games later.

Quoted from SlapDrain:Yup metal side rails are the way to go.
[quoted image]
That looks great! I have an extra set of rails - did you use a miter saw to cut?
Quoted from SlapDrain:I used tin snips because I didn’t want to wake anyone up. It’s pretty thin metal a dremal with cutoff wheel would easily do the trick. I put the cut end is behind the hinge so you won’t even see it.
Awesome, thank you! I can't seem to find the original screws for the side rails, these should do I think? https://www.pinballlife.com/stern-side-armor-screws-8-x-12.html
Quoted from Jrl80:Hi everyone! Just reaching out to see your thoughts on this home pin. I tried it about a year ago at my distributor mixed in with various cornerstones around it. I remember it being a fun game going against those also on display. I’ve owned a JP premium, LZ premium and ST pro in recent years. I want this to stick around for many years of family enjoyment. Because of the pricing lately, this is the route that’s comfortable for us. My biggest concerns are the mdf playfield and particle board cabinet. Have you guys noticed much wear and tear on the game? I feel like the various parts on the playfield would come loose quickly with heavy play etc. I appreciate your feedback in advance. Thank you all! This is a wonderful/helpful community to be a part of. I feel like I’ll be moving forward on one of these in the coming weeks.
Regards,
John
I have over 1000 games on mine and I swear the playfield looks better than my recent cornerstone games I just got with less plays. No dimples, no orange peel or rippling, looks great. No issues with the cabinet either.
