Just ran a speed test on mine. Download 5.53 mbps. Upload 410K !

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

Damn, goin nuts waiting here. Internet is so bad in our area I had a buddy download new code for lz and ehoh, he's 120 miles away in Seattle! Really wanting to try new code.

your still at .95 ? wow you internet stinks.you could probably have 1 of us zepp freaks send you a loaded usb for the next one

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

Speaker lights too, mine should arrive this week

I would like to see photos of your lights when your done with the install

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

Installed my type 13 speaker light kit a couple of nights ago. Sweet look for sure--are those Zeppelin propellers??--but bent plastic from Pinball Life doesn't quite solve the glass reflections from the speaker lights since the speakers are wider than a DMD.

Loving the game, but really looking forward to the EM spinner fix! Oh, and the topper too.

Yup, still at .95. And I misspoke on internet speed. We pay for 50 mb, most times we are under 1 and lots of times only able to get in the kb. Sucks for downloading , but buddy taking care of it for me. Glad he's a pinball guy, just far away.

Hit the W, G, R, or B button on the Speaker Light Kit remote and then the SPEED - button....this will turn down the brightness. This will effect the brightness on all of the light kit settings.

Got the speaker light kit in today , so many options. I like it to pulse with the music best. He also downsized the hermit to fit. I'll have to find some speakers that don't clash, which sucks because the pyles sound so good

#3262 3 years ago

Anybody know where I can get a Zeppelin key chain like one of these?

Push and hold both flippers, cycle thru until you see music

I only get 3 options. No music.
Wondering if that is an LE only item?
Also kind find it in adjustments.

looks nice

#3272 3 years ago

i might want that upgrade

#3273 3 years ago

Would look better with different speaker. But the pyles sound so good its hard for me to change

#3274 3 years ago

My woes with the 1-way wire gate at the top of the ball launching lane continue. Yesterday it came flying out right onto the playfield. I stopped playing immediately and removed it. Widening it a little by bending it seems to be only a temporary fix. Any ideas on a permanent fix? I am thinking of putting a little blob of liquid weld on one end to stop it from coming back through the hole. Alternatively, I could just play the game without the gate ...if a ball goes down there it gets launched back out anyway? Thoughts?

Reinstall then bend the very end that sticks through the hole. I haven't had any more problems

#3276 3 years ago

Its not detrimental to not have it in there, so if bending end over doesn't solve problem I'd leave it out. Deadpool had lots of lane returns during game , never bothered me.

I have DJ Mixer on my Premium. Are we sure the pro doesn't have it on the latest code? I thought all models had it.

Did you turn it on in settings somewhere?
Also wondering if you just download the LE code?
I'm on .95 code and downloaded the Premium.

I have my pro set up on free play with the latest code and DJ Mixer is an option. If you’re on coin drop, the DJ Mixer option is not available.

Thats it! Thank You. Guess i should move to Freeplay.

#3282 3 years ago

Finally made it to the EM Frenzy and what was already the best spinner in pinball is over the top amazing now.

I’m noticing some other behavioral changes to the em as well, seems to be holding ball longer for a captive hit now and I never noticed this in the middle of a EM MB after so many spins it will grab a ball, tied to the green flasher in middle labeled grab and rock out or something like that.

Within the spare parts bag that came with the Pro there is a Led Zeppelin rectangular piece (see photo); its easy enough to see where the other parts go, but this rectangular piece (with only one drilled hole) has me stumped?

I've always assumed those are just for keychains.

#3287 3 years ago

EM
So we have never got electric magic multi ball ?

The ball will lock to magnet and lower under playfield .Game then sits there a while before going into ball search and then EM Raises and ball rolls out right down the middle ,Sometimes when it raises the magnut will momentary grab ball and release it and will not drain down the middle ? Anyone seen this ? Suggestions Thanks

#3288 3 years ago

re: my ongoing issues with the wire gate coming out of its bracket. I'm hesitant to bend the one end as I fear I might just break it and end up with no gate at all. I'm thinking a blob of this epoxy on the straight end of the wire might prevent the gate from escaping. I tested it out on a small piece of steel and it is solid and cannot be pulled off. Feedback on this proposed solution welcome...

You gonna be able to remove if you do? I'd play without gate for a few days, only downside i see is flow if it goes into shooter lane

I've experienced that a few times. Haven't been able to figure out the sequence of events that causes it. Have also successfully started EM multiball so it isn't consistent.

#3291 3 years ago

Anyone have their ball gate bend to where it won’t close? What did you do to correct it aside from bending it back into place?

You can "Taste the Rainbow" or you can Embrace the Orange...

Hell of a time getting my speaker light kit installed thanks to some factory worker completely stripping out one of the small screws that attach the LCD to the speaker plate. They got it good and tight, then stripped out the head. Must have been a Friday afternoon. Anyway, all is good and I'm liking the new look.

Random thought: The base line on Ramble On has got to be one of the best ever! Ear worm city for me.

I had a screw in ehoh same way, laid a thread in it to help take up gap. Im amazed at how often I hear a new background noise in this pin. Sound effects are truly amazing!!

#3294 3 years ago

After installing the new code, often when starting a new game, the electric magic stage is in the raised position. Is any one else having the same experience?

#3295 3 years ago
Quoted from Chetrico:

My lower left VUK has always made a louder than average knocking noise when ejecting the ball. Seems to play fine but am wondering if there is an underlying issue that could be a bigger problem down the road.

I thought the same with my Prem. I mentioned it to the seller and was told " you are being too picky, if it works ,that's the way it is. " Mine works fin
e as well.

Quoted from Redrider:

That's normal, as are the delays in rising and falling. Get used to it...it's to avoid the ball crashing into it when it's moving. I made an ass of myself earlier in this thread because it was driving me nuts.

#3297 3 years ago
Quoted from madamyates:

Anyone have their ball gate bend to where it won’t close? What did you do to correct it aside from bending it back into place?
[quoted image]

Yep. Same issue. I took it out, carefully bent it back to flat (except the small portion that holds it on its rack) , and replaced it. That worked for probably 300 plays but it happened again last night. I followed the same procedure and seems to be working again, not hanging up. I am trying to get a couple of spares because I expect that it will continue to happen and eventually break from the bending back into place.

#3298 3 years ago
Quoted from RexPins:

Anyone's upper control gate occasionally slow down/impede the ball slightly when shooting the right orbit? It's almost like the ball hits something and it slows it enough that it doesn't make it to the lock scoop. Since the coil opens the gate coming from that direction, I don't think it has anything to do with timing of gate activation. I've even theorized that the ball is getting slightly airborne on some shots and hitting the mechanism or bracket. Any thoughts/anyone else experiencing?
Love this game!

Thanks for the post!

Yes. I see the same behavior. It is most noticeable when going for the upper lock to change a song after achieving 5 gold records. I would imagine it would be a clear path to the lock but it definitely gets impeded at the diverter and doesn’t make it to the lock. Usually drops into the pops. You have any luck in determining a cause?

Quoted from Redrider:

e as well.

The clunky kick out is more or less normal, but it's not right. I played 2 different pros that both made the noise. When I got my premium it never did it. One day I moved my machine and it started doing it. I opened it up and inspected the mech and I could see signs of metal on metal contact. I took the mech apart and added a 7/16th white rubber ring right at the base of the plunger. The base is hollow and the ring fit right inside it. Noise gone! Recently I moved my machine again and guess what? Noise came back. Then after maybe a dozen games the noise was gone again.

Here is a drawing. It is from LOTR but similar enough. Add the ring and push it into the hollow base. It may not be a 100% fix, but it will help for sure.

Thanks for the info. I’ve contacted Stern about a replacement but will bend it back in the meantime.
