Led Zeppelin Owners Thread

Quoted from drummermike:
Got my premium this morning. Game looks so much better sitting in your house. Glass is super tight. I replaced it with Invisiglass and it is slightly looser. I had to bend both the side brackets holding the spinner. It has worked great ever since. It does rip! It is a great player.
I like the looks and sound. I do not mind the call outs. The sound effects are great. The factory speakers are good enough for me also. The side lights are also great. The pin is a beauty.
I do not like the new on/off switch location on the back box.
This pin will never leave while I am still living.

This helped me a lot. Especially locking into 4 balls

Quoted from Motorcitypinball:
I had a chance to play quite a few games and just need to share some of my findings. Game is amazing shooter and the code as it is, Is excellent.
Each song is different in its characteristics and shots that need to be made. Songs change shots based on what part of the song you are in (verse, chorus, solo, bridge, etc). This is done very well! I especially like Guitar solo. The Solo on some songs lights the Center ramp. Which is an easy shot. I try to hit Icarus just before the solo to get my multiplier active. Then just watch the millions rack up repeatedly hitting the center ramp!
I am especially Liking Kashmir. Here is why.
Kashmir Verse shots start at Left eject and right orbit.. Every time you make a shot on the left (during verse) It will move the next shot one over to the right. When you make the right orbit shot, it will move the next shot one over to the left. The goal is to alternate shots, from the left to the right until the shot converges in the middle ( Center ramp). Then your center ramp shot will be the lit shot for the remainder of the chorus. I was able to take Kashmir to 17 Gold records doing this getting 5M plus center ramp shots.
My goal right now is to get to Top of Charts multiball (Wizard Mode)
I made it!
The coding inside of Top of the Charts is incredible.
To get to Top of the Charts you need to have at least 5 Gold records in all 10 songs.
Once the mode starts, your goal is to get the songs to platinum status buy getting all the songs to Platinum status.
The mode is coded very good right now. If you had 7 gold in a particular song, you now have to get 3 more gold in that song to reach platinum and then move to the next song. They also included add a ball as each song goes platinum. It also incorporates ball locks in this wizard mode. Which is great because you only lose Top of the charts, if you drain all balls or do not reach platinum by the time the song ends. So buy locking a ball, you have one in reserve in case the one your playing drains.
This game is amazingly challenging and fun. Its easy to understand!
I was 5 gold records away from ?multiball.
Here are some of the notable accomplishments
1.5 Billion Score
Icarus 12.9 multiplier
20M song jackpots
Electric Magic 7M spinner value
Note ( spinner value will keep increasing WITHOUT resetting if you keep it spinning. I.E. Spinner does not stop)
I went pretty far inside of Top of the charts. I was only 5 Gold away from ?multiball
I posted the gameplay here

Spinner in EM keeps bending arms and hanging wrong. Must be taking hits on the edge. I have to bend them straight again so it hangs correctly.
Maybe the arms need to be a lot thicker.

On a good note, I put in a shaker from Pinball Life in my premium. Took about 20 minutes and works great. Plug and play.
Instructions should say to plug in to CN16 not CN2. Had to trim the cover to clear the coinbox surround.

Since I turned my spinner around, no issues at all. Don't know why, maybe the spinner is weighted or curved slightly. Weird fix, but seems to work so far. I sent pics to stern, of spinner and top plastic getting dents, got initial reply of more pics, haven't heard back

That sucks. I wonder if -- since all the streams that device was hammered w/out issue -- they use cheaper parts than on the protos. Just too many issues reported on the games main feature.

Did you take it apart to get the arms out of the holes?

I have 8 pins with spinners and they all have the bottom slanted forward.

Before you go flipping it around I would lube it. I put some dry lube on qtip and applied to arms and I’m 125 plays in with no issues.

I will say I think the balance of spinner seems slightly off compared to all my other games with spinners.
Despite no hang ups, it never seems to rest completely vertical and it does have play from side to side.

It spins great since I bent the brackets out. The bottom edge is getting hit causing the arms to bend.

All the spinners in my 8 pins including LZ are tipped bottom forward. Maybe it should tip backwards.

I’m not sure, most of mine are pretty vertical with only exception being Beatles which are opto spinners as well. Almost same orientation as LZ with bottom edge out slightly.

Either way you can tell by the wear to the bottom middle edge of spinner decal whether forward facing or reverse it’s taking a beating.

@hayfarmers looks just like mine except I didn’t spin mine around.

Edit - added Photo to show wear along bottom edge

Someone mentioned the welds on top of the right ramp, so I put some thin weather strip foam on to even out then some chrome tape. I think my friend has some of the holographic tape from future spa I'll try to get. They could of at least cleaned these welds up.

I am feeling like the flippers are too strong?! I ain’t never said that before! Anyone tone them down in the settings?
Also, I am still fiddling the pitch to find where it plays best. 7.6 degrees was bad as gravity made it way too easy to trap up! Kept edging it down and am now 6.6 degrees. Bubble touching top line. Plays better i think.

I’ve been enjoying mine at 6.7 using pinguy app and backed up with digital level. If I don’t pure the shot it doesn’t make it up the ramp every time on right side.

If flippers dialed back I think that would complicate these long steep shots. Not sure.

As is mine and I don’t know why. As you can see on my Beatles the left opto is the same just not showing the wear to decal and has 700+ plays on it.

Something I may do later is measure PF to bottom of spinner on all my games.

Something has to be different with this one. Unless it’s like I said earlier and magnet pull on ball is binding it or perhaps an occasional flyer off the leading edge metal trim causing high hits on spinner.

Happens so fast no way to know.

On another note since I mentioned a flyer, I had a ball as the EM was coming up go right over the top and it threw it all the way to the back right corner and trickled out of right loop.

Watch out for that!

I have one small one on left side. I don’t think that is avoidable and hopefully we can get spares.

Even if they put a metal edge protector on it I would imagine it would look like it got hit with a ball peen hammer.
