Played some more LZ on location recently.

I can see why people dismiss it on first glance, due to relative emptiness of playfield.

But, it is so much fun to play and the multiplier rules are incredible.

I had one or two games I was not progressing at all, so focused on combos and got the Icarus up to around 30.

When I accidentally triggered it, the scores I was awarded were HUGE!

No other game offers the chance to blow a game up in this way.

I am probably going to pick one up as the Icarus rules mean the game will stay fresh for a long time.

How high can you get the Icarus?

What a great challenge.

Where is the alternative topper posted? I am also waiting for a topper that was ordered a while back. They will come eventually.

3-parter if you don’t mind:

A) Do you normally play with lights out or on?
2) If on, do you recommend getting the HD playfield glass to reduce glare?
D) Does the LZ LE come with the HD glass? I didn’t see it listed as being a difference compared to the Pro/Premium

I find myself playing with the lights on but have recess lights so had to move it a few feet to reduce glare.

I have a LE, it comes with HD glass. I play more with lights on than off. I’ve started adding anti glare glass to my other games. It does make a big difference.

A) Lights off!
2) It makes a bigger difference when lights in the room create glare, but I still really like having anti-reflection glass on my games
D) It does include it, and the feature matrix says so.

Ugh, ok thanks. Guess it’s time to get my eyes checked again as I don’t notice a big difference from the glass on my LE to say, the glass on my TMNT Pro. Could be due to the fact that it was right under a recess light so I’m sure that didn’t help.

Lights off for me and I turn down the brightness of my backbox lights during gameplay.

Agreed turn down the backbox brightness and it looks better without glare

Hi @bruketfans!
Happy to ship internationally if you are willing to pay the full shipping cost. Let me know location and I can calculate a shipping cost.

Thanks!

Is there a specific setting you recommend?

I use 60 %

I like 60%. I do have the alternative translite tho

same here

I paid for one in Mar 2021, 11 months later I finally received it in Feb 2022. I suspect there is a huge backlot of orders to fulfil...

Does anyone have the Pro code that will work on Pinball Browser that is willing to share (maybe 1.05)? Helping someone change up some of the songs. Thanks for your help!

LEFT EJECT LOUD KNOCK SOLVED.

I have a NIB LZ PREM opened last Friday. Looked for posts to permafix this...nothing. Took matters into my own hands and thankfully I had a similar issue with the right upper flipper on IM that was next to the rail. The stubby screws that sit near the rail sometimes sit ON the rail and it sounds like someone hits the side of your cab with a hammer. Although you could bend the bracket inwards (which you should do as it solved the lane-knock from coming straight on to the guide from the eject...now it comes kicked in slightly which follows the lane guide) it didn't help completely as the bracket will still shimmy to the left with the small amount of play throughout nudging resting BACK on the round-head screw. Keep in mind these tolerences are TIGHT. Why stern doesn't augment this with a flathead is beyond me. So...I took matters into my own hands and ground down the top of the head a couple MM to flat. I shit you not...you can't even hear it come out it's so soft. 100% to 5% sound. Oh...and I did add a couple of o-rings to the base of the shaft (which by the way is oddly hollow) so I needed 3 to give me just a few mm of dampening. Every sound that thing could make is gone.

It was driving me bananas.

I dunno why but I kinda like that clunk sound.

You're not the first I've heard this from. Y'all be crazy as I can't hear that and not think something is amiss.

Did they remove the concert footage clip after game end with this update?

Anyone want to trade your LE backglass for my Prem backglass + cash? Seems boring that the cab art and backglass are the same on both models. Not a fan of the LZ 3 Pro art however.

PM Pinstein, his translites beat all of them:

Love the alternate translites. I have one in my game from day 1.

Yeah, I usually hate alternate translites but all of these are great.

man, i just got mine...that was a no brainer! Killer look and design, nice job. The Stern ones are SO UGLY!

yea mine are showing up today - will look great as the originals are kinda boring.

Yep - they are badass. Highly recommended.

Ball 1. I drink. This shouldn't happen as I'm not this good...and it did. Not sure if I'm proud or disappointed.

IMG_5074 (resized).JPG

yep - unscrew 2 screws - take off cap - put on new cap - screw back in.

Have some on order for my game!

I purchased a pack of Bonham drumsticks and black long magnets and have one stick and a set of magnets left over. Anyone interested? 20$+shipping and they are yours.

Use them both !!

I have a LZ Prem an interested in picking up an LE backglass. Is that an option or do I have to work out a trade with an LE owner (which seems unlikely)?

This is as close as you are going to get. Not unless you can find a good high quality image of the LE online somewhere and then have it printed privately. I did that with the Rush LE backglass and it looks great. The LE backglass is real glass, not a translite so unlikely someone would sell it separately. Also, you need a different frame for it as it is thicker than the regular translite.

Makes sense. Thanks!

This is for my future reference, but anyone else can use the details if they want:

How to change jukebox song names on Led Zeppelin:

Scene #5 - Letters not available (J/Q/X/Y/Z), also various capital letters are not available.

Drill down to final 'Elements' then scroll down to after 'unnamed instance 176 to the song choice. Then drill down to song text box to make change. See previous comment about letter restrictions. Also cannot exceed max letters depending on the song name being changed. Each word is separated by '|'.

Can try to insert a custom letter under 'Glyph' but does not always work.

Can we add songs to jukebox mode yet?

No, just existing songs. I don't think that will ever be possible.

Lock bar acting different! LZ Premium. Bar stopped flashing green at start game. But does light white to shoot ball. Also doesn’t seem to light much during game play ( like green for bonus etc ) but again back to white to shoot a ball. Any tips to help check what’s going on? Thanks !!!

I’m sure this would be very difficult. But, imagine If we could buy a new backboard with a built in small display to show song names, and be able to have 25 songs on it. Dreaming I know. I wouldn’t even care if multiple songs shared the same rule set.

The light is one of those small rbgw boards. I would check the wiring to it first and trace it back to see if it's a connection issue.

just an fyi for led zeppelin pin owners
I've started a thread for a concert ticket magnet that works for all of the concert pins. this was original created for rush tickets but I've expanded to make concert tickets for iron maiden, led zeppelin and aerosmith

just about everything can be customized on the ticket including ticket color, date, sec-row-seat, venue, presentor, price, ticket no.

I recently added a Polk PSW10 subwoofer to my LZ Pro. I already had the PinWoofer set up with the GT amplifier (highly recommended!) so I reached out to them for advice on the cleanest, most efficient way to incorporate the additional subwoofer into my existing system. Dan PinWoofer quickly responded, recommending the BBU (Bass Boost Unit). Though it cost a little more than alternatives it looked to be the cleanest, most controllable, way to integrate the subwoofer into my system.

Install is simple and the performance is excellent.

Dan has gone above and beyond with the quickest response time in the industry to my noob questions. (Including responding instantly, on a Sunday, to a question that I later realized was already answered in the documentation he had previously provided me with). I can’t say enough positive things about Dan, Pinwoofer, and their products. From the moment I ordered the BBU, through quick shipment, good packaging, installation assistance and guidance, settings advice, and finally, outstanding performance, this is a great way to improve the sound on your Pin! I highly recommend it!

Add me to the club. Just added them in over the weekend and really adds to the overall look of the playfield! Also, high quality, well packaged, and speedy delivery! Thanks @InscribedSolutions !

Mine arrive today!

3rd and final product pitch of the day for me;

Just added in the Stern Insider Connect. I did not like the intrusive design of the apron display on the unit provided by Stern so I opted for Gotfrogs METAL STERN INSIDER CONNECTED QR CODE READER COIN DOOR MOUNT.

Quick delivery and great packaging. Simple install and an elegant alternative to a less obtrusive QR reader on the machine.

Thanks GOTFROGS!

Guys...anyone use the Icarus Spotlight from Mezelmods? The wires route behind the ZEP drop targets and you can already tell why I'm posting this. They jam up. Any reroute or fix other than stripping the sleeving down?

That’s our mod sold through Mezelmods. You will be able to feed the wires down along the side of the target on the end without affecting the target movement. There is plenty of room there.
