Just left the arcade and played a pro for a bit. I thought it shot really well and I was digging it. Can't wait to get some time on a premium.
Quoted from kool1:LZ seems to get all the hate of the last few Stern releases unfortunately.
It is way more fun than it gets credit for.
I think it is great. I am about to pickup a pro in a trade.
Picked up my pro over the weekend. Had low expectations because of all the negative on here but it is a great fast playing pin. I did some trading and ended up getting it at around $4k value. I have not been able to get a Stern pro for around $4k in many years. It has insider connect and expression lighting. Are there any other good upgrades? Is the topper really worth it? does it add any game play value?
Quoted from Ivanhoe:this worked great! Just need a subwoofer and I’m rockn’
This made a huge difference. I did -10
Quoted from kool1:I've had the game since summer and I hit that cross ramp maybe 10-20%. It's hard. My Rush is so much smoother and better that way.
If anyone has a tip - I'd be thrilled.
I hit this shot 8 out of 10 times coming around from the orbit shot. My flipper rubber is touching the right side rail if that helps anyone.
Quoted from newpinbin:Mine does not have a feature adjustment 51????
Its not feature adj 51, its like 62 and I think it was under another menu as well
Quoted from BrokenChair:I’m about to pull the trigger on a Led Zeppelin pro but I have a few questions without reading entire thread is there anything I need to look out for ?(like major problems that needs replacing)
I’ll be getting a new machine most likely a pro;
Is there an option to play the game without the music or does the music ever get repetitive on long sessions ?
I just got a used pro and no issues. Everything is pretty straight forward. Crazy fast flowy game and the music is great.
Quoted from mchamps:Thought I'd share my progress of owning and adding mods since October '22. Only issue I had was with drop targets not dropping but got that figured out.

Sweet, just ordered the ramp lighting
Quoted from mchamps:Got a message from a fellow pinsider asking about the expression light kit on my pro. Looks like the newest LZ Pros are not including the recessed routing for the expression light kit.
https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/132734
that sucks. Glad I got mine
Quoted from nocreditdot:Im in the minority but, I find Stern IC useless unless updating the code wirelessly.
I don't even use mine, waste of money
Quoted from newpinbin:Interested to see how a routed playfield looks on LZ. Would you be able to post any photos? Also how many plays does your machine have?
I purchased a routed LZ Pro with thousands of plays and it looks perfect.
Quoted from InteractivePinball:I'm excited to see the Hermit Ramp in your machines! I love my Led Zeppelin Pro but the upper flipper definitly deserves this ramp! Please share what you think of the Hermit Ramp after you've installed it. I went with PLA material for the variety of color and finishes. The material shouldn't deform unless you contunuously get it very wet. I've used 6 walls so the Hermit Ramp is very durrable.

just ordered mine
can someone put me in touch with the guy who made the pro crossover ramp? One of the plastic pieces broke in half on install and I am having a hell of a time getting the switch to register consistantly.
Quoted from Jodester:Have many of you guys installed the Hermit Ramp mod?
I ordered a few things from Mezel for the game and already added speaker lights, shaker , and a sub.[quoted image]
I got the Mermit ramp mod and love it. Took a few minutes to get the target adjusted, but works great. The guy who developed it provides great customer support if you need it.
Quoted from jkashani:What’s the realistic going price for a premium, huo?
$6500-$7000.
I got my pro crazy cheap about a year ago. $4k
Quoted from TiltingT:Just wanted to share a video with you guys. We installed the Hermit Ramp Mod from Interactive Pinball Mods on my my buddy's Led Zeppelin Pro this past weekend and I have to say I am really impressed. I have to order mine soon as it made the Pro that much more fun instead of just shooting into the dead end stand up target but thought you guys might like to see it. I posted it on my YouTube channel to help on the install
Like how you painted the pieces black. What type of paint did you use?
Quoted from TiltingT:This one was actually printed in black..I haven't seen the silver in person but I do like the way the black looks over the silver.
Man, I would have much rather had a black set.
