I’m a big fan of Arizona too, we were going to a ranch outside Tucson last year until a certain pandemic put paid to all overseas travel

The yellow button is for tournament games; it arrived installed, as it has on my IMDN LE and GB premium. I have never once pushed this button at home or in a tournament!

All machines sent to Australia NIB seem to only have one coin slot. I’m not certain as to the reason but I suspect it is because it will register either $1 or $2 coins, which are the only coins arcades will accept over here. Sadly, the days when you could get a game using a 20 cent piece are long gone…

I’m getting close. I need to put more games on first. I feel like I need to put extra time on games I own before I rate them. Not sure if anyone ever reads them but I want to make sure they’re honest and not biased due to honeymooning. Loving it so far though.

Yes
Arizona

Cali checking in.

Looks very nice
From which company have you order the flipper bats mods/decals?

Is it possible to have both Deluxe mod Zoso amp with double neck guitar and interactive Hermit on the upper right corner?
Or other suitable place for Hermit.

Unfortunately I deleted the email from the flipper mod transaction 2 months ago and I can’t remember who I got those from. Others in this thread have them so hopefully they chime in. Gonna be very crowded back there with all 3 mods in that corner. May want to find a another option...

The hermit will fit by the upper right flipper if you already have something in the back right. He's roughly 4" tall.

Looky Looky!

Think I want red Led Zepp decals for the zeppelin now.

Does anyone else find the noise the topper makes when the lights move incredibly loud?

Quieter than the R2.

I thought for sure these would swing around like crazy when EB awarded since the display animation shows spotlights moving around.

Maybe coded in future?

Can't wait for my topper! I got the red decal from Lermods. It looks great; even better now that I know it matches the topper.

Everyone else getting some light bleed along bottom edge of topper?

1F64C325-C9CA-4780-B1CA-AFB45B80F3F7 (resized).jpeg

A little, thinking e tape.
There is a hole mid way up on spot lights, not big 1/4 inch. That bleed is bugging me. More

Is it ok to hook up 2 pins to a Klipsch 12” powered sub. I have my LZ hooked up using one of the RCA connectors now. Can I do the same with a Metallica pro I may have just purchased and use the other existing RCA input?

That little hole on top and bottom of spot light a vent for cooling perhaps?

I used a little foam under R2D2 and filled the cracks.

I appreciate the link... would it harm things if I were to go my suggested route - 1 pin into each RCA input on the Klipsch? Will both work at the same time?
EDIT - I did a search on the forum and others said they had no issues going w my proposed process so I think I'm ok.

Exactly what I ended up doing on both. I can live with the minimal leak now.

Noticed it came missing a screw for left spotlight, Pablo sending new one out ASAP!

My LZ premium was superb out of the box, but the shaker installed by my distributor seems to rarely shake

I’ve done the usual diagnostic tests, am running 1.02 and have felt it working on occasions. No such problem with IMDN when it arrived at my house with the same shaker

Are others dealing with the same issue? Am I right to presume it might change as code progresses?

Its Max to much? I think im factory or med.

Has anyone come up with any alternate translites ideas yet?

I'm having an issue whereby when balls are launched automatically (eg. multi-ball) they hit that hermit target, then arc down directly to the right return lane -- ball lost (see green line on photo). I have tried adjusting the ball launch power, with some success, but it still happens more often than I would like. Is there something I can do to change the path of the ball so this doesn't happen so often?

Did anyone order LZ topper from Zach at Flip N Out pinball? If so have you received it yet? Or heard when you will get it?

I ordered from Zach too. No word yet, nothing but crickets. The original email said they would notify us when shipping. I ordered the first day pre-orders were taken.

I ordered frorm Zach on Dec 21, 2020

I do have the shaker on max.

I'll play around with it a bit more. It certainly seems smoother when it is on compared to IMDN or GB

Big Thanks for the distribution call and effort to inform us.
Big thumbs down who is ever overseeing production. Cmon stern where’s your QA/QC on a simple instruction diagram? Too many Latte Gangas at Starbucks??... Get back to work and wake up from asleep at the wheel. Ramble On!!

I hit a major bug on 1.02 playing the Top Of The Charts Challenge - I *think*, but can't be sure, that I hit the last shot of a song just as it was about to time out and the EM rose up and it switched into a 1-player game on 1st ball. I was then constantly returned new balls and staying as "Ball 1". I tried activiating a multiball and repeatedly draining but the score just went up and up and stayed on "Ball 1" so I had to turn off the machine.

By the way, what is the best email address to contact Stern with? I emailed parts.service at sternpinball.com a week ago about problem with plastic #32 but not had any sort of reply.

I also ordered and paid months ago. I haven't heard anything from him yet. I suspect Stern is just slow in getting him his allotment and we'll get them in the next week - I hope so anyway.

I called Stern and they are sending me a new spinner mechanism. I am a little concerned of whether the repair is going to be complex or beyond my ability because of where it is located.

I ordered topper from Zach first day and heard nothing as well

Sounds like a bug to me. Send it to [email protected]

I found a bug as well. If you disable the EM motor, play a few games, then re-enable the EM motor, it doesn't work right after that. Now, whenever the EM is ready, it will not raise on the first shot to the center ramp. Rayday was able to duplicate this on his machine. I'm sure they'll get it straightened out.

Just don't disable the EM motor for now or you will have some minor issues.

The way this works in the past, Stern ships batches to the retailer and then they ship them out. Presumably Stern ships them in the order the retailers ordered...

Who do you talk to at stern ? Parts ?

Anyone else notice that the „r“ from Rock’n’Roll is missing when lightning ? Reason for that is that the milling in the wood is to short.

Does anyone carry the OEM Stern shaker motor? Stern is out and I’ve not found it anywhere else in stock. I know there’s an aftermarket version available, but would prefer to still with the factory option.

...Never noticed --- Good eyes!

You can drill yourself, and then it looks right

I got mine from Pinball Life. Works perfect.

Where did those pop bumper caps come from?

Mezelmod

I'm interested in doing this. Did you have to take the backboard completely out to do this? How much of a PITA was this to do?
