They picked the best 10 songs to play pinball to.

I’ve yet to play a pinball machine with better music.. probably never will.

Wondering why we haven’t seen any code updates in quite some time…
I’m in the group of hoping they add another song or two but definitely not holding my breath. 10 just isn’t enough of this great band.

Whole Lotta Love is my favorite to shoot to.

Well, that's what the bean counters are for, and they probably didn't think they'd sell enough more games by buying more songs to make it worth it. Ten ain't bad really, and it's a nice round number that works with the code. And I'm sure you all know it could be worse...Beatles had 8...Stones has about the same and it's a real oddball mix of deep cuts and newer stuff. I was happy to see Hand of Fate in there but I'm sure most people would have been happier with Satisfaction or Jumpin Jack Flash.

They did ok on the Zep song selections, not a stinker in there.

"works with the code" is exactly it. an additional two, four or however many more songs means more rules and more code. toss in the extra licensing fees for the music, the computer labor and it's not hard to imagine the production costs getting out of hand in a hurry. would i pay an extra $800-1000 of MSRP for four more songs? very probable, definitely if i get to pick them.

and i have yet to complete more than seven songs on my best games. like to start at the top with GTBT and work my way down. would also trade Kashmir for the Wonton Song (same album).

Put in whatever songs you want with pinbrowser...

Personally I am happy with the selection and having a decent sized collection I am not always playing the same game to get tired of something in it. I love my GoT and it basically has one song.

Isn't pinbrowser dead now, after the great "Disco Iron Maiden" scandal forced Stern's hand back in 2019?

had to google it.. this?

XD

Physical Graffiti is an underrated album. I would like to have custard pie, the rover, or houses of the holy in the pin.

Rock n roll is probably my favorite song to shoot on the game although I do like all of them.

My wishlist songs to add would be Dazed and Confused, The Ocean and Nobody’s Fault but mine.

I agree with all of this however Stones had 13/14 depending if you had the pro/le and it was quite easy to use PB to insert Satisfaction, Paint it Black etc.. without f’ing up the light shows or animations. I have all my favorite Stones Licks on mine currently.

It’s truly my only complaint with the LZ and it’s minor as the 10 they got are perfection. I’m just of the viewpoint that if you get to a wizard mode you should be hearing/seeing something different. At least they thought of that for the visuals with the unique animations.

Maybe?

Long story short some idiot was selling this "code" out of a shabby tent at Replay FX (right next to the Stern booth) and not long after pinbrowser was nerfed in the code and now we don't get to have fun any more with this stuff.

If Beatles ever gets a code update many of us will have a decision to make. If it's just "polish" / bugfixes etc. I probably won't be doing it.

I'm likely too computer dumb to figure this out.

Oh dang you have it on your beatles?! How many songs do you have on there?

Same amount of songs but there's really cool "album" SD cards you can make...

White album
Sgt Pepper
Revolver

there's a thread about it somewhere here, def a cool way to liven up your Beatles!

I kept all of the original songs on mine however I edited one of the longer songs into two tracks in one which now plays Can’t buy me love and transitions into Day Tripper. Sounds great. Had the help of a pinside pb expert!

The big issue with trying to swap songs on LZ with PB if it’s even possible anymore is the light shows are synced to the specific songs so they would be all jacked up if changed.

I won’t even consider doing this.

Could this potentially happen with Led Zeppelin?

Would be super tough if even possible (which I don't think it is any more with current Stern firmware).

Zep is SO tightly tuned with the light shows (even without the expression feature) that it would just seem sloppy.

Correct. One of the best parts of the game is the shots following the sections of each song: verse, bridge, chorus, etc. Change the song, and the shot syncopation makes no sense.

Just got my high score what a blast,Hint its more than Austin Powers wanted.

Thread just inspired me to install the alternative Rolling Stones code...cool to hear some different songs!

Jumpin' Jack Flash!

What? More than 1 Million? LOL

yeah thats why I dont let my 7 year old grandkids play it ,they will knock off my initials.I say look I have spider man.

Sure is, what version do you have and what songs?

Off the top of my head on mine is Satisfaction ball 2 , Gimmie Shelter ball 3, Can’t you Hear me knocking one of the records songs , Brown Sugar and Paint it Black for MB’s and Miss You riff for fast Charlie mode in the pops and Jumpin Jack Flash for world tour. Rest I left alone.

I added a shooter lane protector and this started happening, balls won’t clear into the lane properly but I don’t see anywhere it would be hitting the ball and just wondering if it’s maybe coincidental and my eject is a little weaker?… any ideas?

I’ll try and reposition further out and see if it helps.

I only played a game so not really sure about everything and def didn't hear everything...

Song 2 is Jumpin Jack FLash
song 3 is still Rain Fall Down for some reason (interesting choice)
Album multi is Satisfaction
Licks / Game over is Can't always get what you want (another interesting choice)
Satisfaction lick is in there here and there
Bonus countdown I think is Little Red Rooster
Tour hurry up was Paint it Black

Cool to hear some different stuff. Record mode songs all the same I guess it was too much trouble to change the DMD text and hire the voice guy to re-record his speech bits.

Any progress on the above problems?
Really annoying sound from the spotlight (topper) when moving

For those with the zeppelin stucky ball problem my late build has this plastic guard in place. May be able to get it from Gary

I attempted a fix on the shooter lane gate, hopefully it will hold. The metal on this ball gate seems far less "springy" than others which I think may be part of the problem when a ball strikes either end during multiball. Hard to get the end bent so it won't come out but still travels up and down freely.

Mine has the same protector and only one ball stuck there in 1000 games or so.

Concerning stucky ball problem. I also order this one, Anti-Stuck-Plastic

Bummer, they don't and won't ship to USA, I've tried twice in the past.
Looks like a fun product.

I've used these guys a few times over the last couple years...My last shipment arrived 5 days from the time I ordered the item from the company that ordered from

I just ran two rubbers around the posts there to block that stuck ball spot.

Interesting. I just looked and I have no plastic there since mine was a very early run. Never had a stuck ball there.

I have had 1

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been loving my Zeppelin lately. It shoots great and is tons of fun. What I love most about it is that “just one more game” replay ability of it. As soon as a game ends I need to start another to see if I can have an even better game than the last.

That said, the damn spinner continues to bum me out. I’ve done everything to the damn thing, bent the brackets, flipped it around, got the spinner replacement (which honestly I haven’t done anything with because my game is a recent enough build that the replacement is identical to what’s already on it).

It always fails and comes flying off onto the playfield whenever I get an electric magic frenzy. . I’m paying attention to where the balls are in relationship to the flippers, so I can’t see exactly what’s happening. It seems though that on frenzy once you get that first ball in there the mech kinda throws the ball back at you. I wonder if this is what’s causing it to almost immediately after come flying out of the bracket. Now that I think of it, maybe there’s a setting to lower this, maybe it’s possible to make it not “throw” it at all and instead just release it (unless of course I’m just imaging the throwing thing). Any suggestions? Before I go searching the menus does anyone know if what I’m describing is accurate and if there’s a setting?

It really sucks because each game where I’ve had an opportunity to really put up a high score this spinner failure happens.

Your spinner arms probably just need to be made right. Make sure they're square all around, in line from the top, etc. Your brackets bring bent out or installed justified too far to the outside are the only other possible factors.

I'd make sure you fix it then have the newest code. I haven't had a spinner problem for a few months now though my first week of ownership I had 2 failures

Yes, the spinner problems should have been fixed by the new software. My initial guess is your EM assembly is rising too high and the ball is catching air off the front lip.

Can you take a couple close up pictures of your spinner and post them here?

This was my issue 100%.

Spinner fell off 2x in the first few 100 games. It wasn't until I rebent and made sure I was completely level when raised that it stopped happening.

Keep getting stuck balls out of the trough eject. Bounces back in since I added my shooter lane protector. I lowered the value to 170 and helped a lot but still getting a few. May remove the protector.. any advice?

Ahh maybe I will remove the sticker then as it does hold it up a little bit it seems but doesn't seem like it would be enough to be bouncing it back so much but maybe having a little play wouldn't be so bad.

It looks like the ball barely fits out of the VUK with that protector there? Maybe just trim the protector or bend the end of the VUK slightly.

Honestly, after different issues with every type I've tried, I've gone away from any sort of fancy protector in the shooter area. Now I put down two layers of mylar before playing the first game and it is good to go and nearly invisible. As long as the edges where the clearcoat likes to chip have at least one layer of mylar they are fine. I put down two just for the heck of it.
