Looking forward to your inner loop guide - I’ve been struggling with mine since day 1.

.

Smart mod idea - easily going to be over $100, but it actually adds something of value to the game. Well done.

Received my inner loop guide today - sadly it didn’t work for me. Took off the felt (which was working 100% of the time) and Installed the guide and had 0 registered for 9 shots. Put the felt back on and took off the guide and was back at 100%. Put the guide back in along with the felt and was also at 100%. Oh well, It’s an air factor I think - not a right side lean. Ball just goes so fast it must go over the target a tad too much. Would love to get a plastic lane cover like another member made for his - that would fix the issue I am having.

Thank you! You don’t know unless you try, so no regrets with the guide. Fellow member schudel5 made this cover and said it works great. I’d be more than happy to buy one from you if you make can something similar.

As I said, you don’t know unless you try. I have no regrets buying it whatsoever. $20 into a 12k machine is nothing and it ruled out one of the possible issues. I can try to take a slow mo video with my iPhone when I have a buddy over and see if I can capture the path it’s taking. my best guess is that the felt pad is keeping the ball lower so it hits the switch 100%. If you say the ball leans right and this guide keeps it centered than it is more assuring having both (just like you stated in your add). I have no intentions on returning it as I appreciate what you guys are doing.

It has to be an airborne factor. If the felt works, that means its kicking the ball back down enough to activate the switch. I'm going to try and get a lane cover made or buy one somehow.

Wow that’s going well above and beyond - nothing else to say but a huge thank you! Looking forward to it, and will let you know how it works out. Appreciate it!

same here - with the service and dedication to this game you are giving, count me in on this mod as well.

Also ordered - this is a great one! Well done

Love the ambition, but this one doesn’t work for me. Between this and the current dice, I like the dice a lot more. This Looks out of place.

That’s a tough one as I’m very picky on what I add to my games and I think a some of the mods being done are quite cheesy and look terrible. Besides the dice, I’m clueless on what would fit in well there. I’ve cracked 2 so far, so I bought the dice and will be happy when they arrive. Classy move for not wanting to go the dice route and tread on what’s already being sold by others. Hopefully someone will chime in with another option.

Here is what was sent to me from the great team at Ninja mods. I cut it in half as the ball was getting stuck every time. This is helping, but I still have some tweaking to do to have it work as well as the felt did. I’m my instance, The felt fix was working 100% of the time when I had it on the top of steel rail just below the plastics. The felt is a little bit thicker, but was way up high on the rail so it would not obstruct the balls rolling path - I think it would just knock it down when it gets air. This looks way cleaner and once tweaked should work well. Trimming it just a tad more should do the trick (I hope) Thanks again!

So my time machine ramp rubber blocks need replacing and I’m prob going to go the ninja route. Read the directions - Why do you need to take the ramp off to install these? Seems like it should be able to be done on the playfield, no?

Love the color options - I haven’t pulled the trigger yet as my scoop is still holding up pretty well, but I’m liking the green! Prob will go with that color when I need one. Great stuff guys.

All I can say is great job guys - I really like the ESL and it looks outstanding. I freyed the black cable cover pushing it through the playfield/plastic so it could look cleaner, but I’ll address that down the road. Now you can see where the action is!
And I did notice two additional printed strips in my order - are these new updates for the inner loop guides?! Thank you!

Ordered scoop protector last night - shipped today. Great team and Excellent service as always! Thank you

So I currently have the stern black rubber fix on the scoop and I have my Ninja Mods protector ready to install. I'm getting cold feat and worry it is outside of my wheelhouse for install. How tough is it and how long should it take? The last thing I want to do is F this up....

Please help - I’m Towards the end of the install and I forgot where those 2 black spacers go…. Anyone have a pic?

Took me about an hour but it appears to be installed properly. Everything is working but now I’m getting a lot of STDM from the bottom scoop. Is there a tweak on Rush to fix this like on GNR?

Tried that and there isn’t much play. It’s stdm every time now.
Update- reset everything under the playfield and with a few tweaks it now lets hits the right flipper every time. Very happy to be back to the way this game was originally intended. Sterns V3 was far too intrusive.

I also added a washer underneath to angle it better when I reseated it (also giving it a little twist as I retightened) which seemed to have solved it once and for all.
