I forgot about these...Just placed my order this morning. Thanks for the reminder.

Nice and bright, has very good sharp detail. Very well done.

I got 1 of each translite. They are very nice, high quality, and look great in machine, both off and on.

Does anyone have this one on a prem that they can show good pictures front on and angled .

I like it .I really like the cabinet, just a alternate trans goes a long way to break up the repetitive album cover .I’m hitting the hot shot ramp enough to make me happy but has anyone toyed with the flap or whatever to avoid some of the dead nut shots coming back ? Finally having some decent games now that I’m learning more from playing and the thread.It just keeps getting better .

I Have an opportunity to sell my Munsters Le and was thinking of getting a Zep premium. Those who own this game is there some depth to the code? I haven’t been able to play one but I like the layout as it looks built for speed and flow and I am not that into toys and mechs. Also I am huge Zep fan and like the idea of owning a music pin. I will only have a 2 pin line up and the other pin would be a mando premium. Is led Zep challanging? I want a game that makes me fight for that high score.

That's a good trade out.
Yes. You have to fight it out. Love the speed.
I have to work at it to get 3 or 4 songs.
Still looking to get some break out steller scores.

That’s what I traded my Munsters LE for.

We can all agree the LZ art package is well, lackluster. The game itself has nice flow and enjoyable modes. Definitely not a trade I regret doing.

Anyone have a suggestion for what is probably a simple fix. The swinging gate right where the ball launches keeps coming out on the right side of the wire hole. I put it back in but it fell out again tonight. Anyone have a fix or suggestion to keep this piece in?

LZ sounds like your perfect match. It is better in every way than Munsters, except maybe the art. Quite deep but not confusingly so, and it will test your playing ability every day. Add the music and your choice is clear.

I’ve only played the Mando Pro but it sounds like a nice combination to me

put it back in and bend the end slightly

As someone who honestly has had my issues with my LZ Premium, I’d had the EM problem (it’s stayed fixed for quite a while now), and struggling to hit the shots while getting used to it, I had moments where I wasn’t sure the game was for me.

I can tell you that I fall in love with, and enjoy this game more each and every time I play it. The last few solid pinball plays consisted of twice having people over, and last night playing just by myself. While people were over I played two or four player with them on LZ and ignored my other games, or while they were playing the others I happily kept playing LZ. Last night LZ was the only game that got turned on and played. It has that “one more game” fun factor. It is challenging, it has multiple ways to go about trying to progress. And it has excellent music (and I wasn’t even the LZ fan, they’re my wife’s thing).

Just get it, you won’t regret it.

It’s pretty clear that the people who’ve said anything negative about this game haven’t played one (or didn’t allow themselves enough games to get the shots down), or (sorry to any of the owners I might offend) they played a pro (yes, the EM spinner is that awesome).

Last night I had an EM Frenzy that lasted quite a while. At one point I realized I had a massive shit eating grin while I was bopping my head to the music. I’ve said it before but it repeats saying, EM Frenzy is one of the COOLEST things EVER in pinball!

And the very best part is that my playfield hasn't chipped or pooled!

To me this game is hard and every time I understand a new rule it just gets better and better .You said your a fan then prove it !

I have only played about 60ish different pins and of the ones dive played this set of ramps rules the roost !

Has anybody gotten the 3rd EM multiball?

It seems too tough to get I’ve given up trying to get it, rather work on songs.

Not even close, although I’ve got the second a few times .Sweet baby Jesus theres so many ways to go about playing this game .I find myself slapping this pin around more than any other game I’ve played .It’s a workout .

Mine too but I have plenty of dimples.

I hear chicks dig dimples .

Well I sold the Munsters. Now to go buy a led zep!

Thanks to all the commenters. It helped me make the choice. I enjoyed Munsters and thought it was beautiful, shot well and was fun but I just felt like I wanted a bit more depth.

I’ll put it this way .I’ve been ignoring IMDN,DP,and GnR since I brought it home .So far for me it’s been a bare knuckle fight .I just keep pushing the start and wanting to go a little further each time .Congrats bud you won’t regret it .

For me, it’s the kind of game that never leaves the collection. Because the more pins you have the more complicated and deeper things tend to get sometimes. Zep is the kind of game that I always go back to and just let it rip! It’s definitely the most fun & the most played game I have, the fact that my wife loves it? to me it’s just the best for pinball too!

Not if they're on a fat ass. That's what I heard from a friend, anyway.

Is this just what comes after Frenzy? In other words: EM Multiball, Frenzy, then EM Multiball?

I would think it goes back to the first EM multiball as there's only two different inserts.

a few times, its actually kind of a let down once you finally get it. it plays the same as the first EM multiball with a higher scoring (but lower than em frenzy).

Yea, that's what I was saying.

I've been to it, it just seems to be more of the same.

With that said, I wish I was playing my game now, but my magnet isn't working right, and I'm hoping Stern will respond back to me so I can figure out what's going on. Crazy that I seem to be the only one having this issue, but then again, that's my luck with NIB games.

Bunch of times. But only once did I get to the 4th, which is a 2nd EM Frenzy!

Yes, the third is just another EM MB, but the value of the original hurry-up starts at 1.5M I think? It can get big. The other night I had a super worth 52M, and I think my total for the MB was like 134M. So, it's definitely worth going for.

Pro tip: Sometimes with the upper flipper, try to sweep the ZEP drops. It can be done on purpose with practice. With a lucky bounce I once swept them TWICE in like 2 seconds!

Has anyone made the right ramp with the upper flipper ? I know it’s not laid out that way but I had a screamer coming around to it and I slapped it good ,it rattled a bit and looked like it was very close to turning .Just wondering after seeing that happen if it’s ever been done .

Right ramp? Hell no. I’ve made the center ramp maybe 3 or 4 times but the right seems like it would be a once in a lifetime shot. Just starting to hit the side ramp with the tiniest bit of consistency. That shot feels glorious when you make it.

i did. but it came out again. it seems on the upper side towards the backbox there isn't not enough of the wire from. the bent end toward shoot rod of the wires is fine. anyone else have this issue or suggestion?

That shot is my favorite so far in pinball .Love the lights that come with it also .Yeah I’m guessing that’s it but it surprised me .It was rattling the whole time but got up there .I was experimenting with a slight lean to the right though .

I slap this pin like it owes me money I love it ! Thanks for the push on grabbing it ,best decision Ive made in this hobby.

Out of curiosity is it bad in any way to have this off ? I’ve been messing with mine it came off a few times . I’m taking it that the main purpose is to stop balls from going back to auto plunge and maybe slow down the actual plunge a bit but I’ve noticed with it off I’m more accurate with the skill shot and it helps out as a parking spot during MB .Thoughts on this appreciated .

Its only purpose is to keep balls from going back into the shooter lane. I'm one of the lucky ones that have never had a problem with the gate.

I’m kinda liking not having it on .Led targets take care of themselves .

Mine just broke. Gotta reach out in the morning on this. Wire broke on right side goin out of shooter lane. Like 238 plays, only issue I’ve had.

I waxed before playing, changed the balls, q-tipped a bit of vintage Radio Shack Lube Teflon gel lube on the spinner ends old style EM bracket, set the game for free play, 10 digit initials, no other game settings changer. Game sat in box for 5-8 weeks before opening to get acclimated to inside temp and allow for more playfield cure time- I don’t know if it makes a difference or it’s in my head, but so far no Stern Pf issues, and only mild tweaking out of the box when I let them sit.

Thanks. I do that

Just try leaving it out .More control with skill shot and nice hiding spot for MB gives you a little time to hit shots during ball save .Just my .02

No more than oiling a spinner .LMAO

Is it broken or did it just pop out? Can’t tell if there's a piece missing from the gate. Mine popped out really early and I put it back and pinched the gate bracket in a bit and it’s been perfect since.
