I’m definitely game for the Exit Stage Left mod, it has nice appeal and functionality.

Bummer, I didn’t see the announcement until now, still will wait patiently for the Exit Stage Left mod

Received my box of NinjaCamp goodness, now just waiting for the machine......

Thank you to everyone who is/has worked on these upgrades, and those sharing the results after install. I have peace of mind sitting in a box, waiting for the day to be unleashed

If any of those fall through, you got an automatic sale with me

I’ll be looking for the next opening for the ESL mod.

*Spot reserved for E...SL mod pre-order when announced this Friday*

Just making sure to cover bases, since I don’t know when I’ll be able to check for the 2nd run announcement on Friday. Please make sure I’m marked down for one! Thanks!

My post not needed*

*happy dance*

It’s not immediate to shoot up, it takes a pause, then shoots up. Depending on what all is happening on the playfield at the time, it may turn from 2 sec delay to 4-5 sec.

What changed before this happened? Did you do any work, or did it magically start happening? More details kind sir.

Make sure the portions going into to scoop hole, are all tucked where they are supposed to be, taking a few clear close up pics.

The side closest to the time machine, you have that properly tucked between the wood and metal of the scoop?

The tab on the middle portion tucked all the way down, and grabbing the bottom of the playfield?

Only two other things I can think of are: the protector is tweaked a little bit(over tightening), or possibly lose a small part that dropped in the scoop.

If the only thing that changed, was you installing the scoop protector, go back step by step, and check your work. There’s always a cause to an effect.

If you have followed NC’s instructions, look it over step by step. If you didn’t follow it, then I’d read up and see what may have been missed or not done. Never hurts to go back and double check.

Scoop sleeve set comes with two sleeves.

Parts and business can wait, take care of your love first.

If anyone tries to spout off about lack of communication or orders, we’ve got your back.

Take care of her, and yourself. Thank you for sharing, to keep us up to speed.

No worries about the products, get that girl home, to finish recovering! Happy news for you two!

lol, that’ll be the next ads we see on Pinside, Node 2 boards starting at $15k

Previous to getting my machine, I was seeing other people’s issue with the original blue nubs. Installed NC’s protectors before first ball played. Nice choices that they offer

Take my money, I’m in for a set please

Did you end up placing the wizard mod art over the LZ kit? I’d be curious to see how it turned out, as I’ll be doing this soon. Trying to plot how to work new art around the leds.

I appreciate the confirmation though, was tired of waiting for the Stern release.

NC, I would like to volunteer to be your first Rush Premium owner, to show off your speaker expression lights kit, when ready

The pinwoofers I just installed earlier today

Yea, the LZ kit doesn’t stand out too much, when the machine is on. Between the light show and the amount of toys/ramps/plastics, it blocks a lot of the LZ art on that L bracket light strip. When the machine’s off, you notice it, but still doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb. You’d have to know what you’re looking at, to have it stand out. Average person’s not going to really notice much.

Right?!? As great as NC is with their communication and products, I was a little bummed when I saw it wasn’t Rush related, lol. Other machines need love to I suppose.....

Very sorry to hear that, take care of family first, we’re not going anywhere.

Hopefully will have time to install them tomorrow, was supposed to be today, but other things needed attention today. Looking forward to it as well

OK got a question for installing the expression speaker light kit, one a Stern Premium.

My setup: Stern Rush Premium, came with stock 4” speakers. Upgraded to Pinwoofer’s kit that includes the adapter mount for using the 5-1/4” speakers. Since then, upgraded to PW’s newest 5-1/4” speakers for the set, which came with a deeper adapter ring.

Trying to follow NC’s instructions, per what I am asked to remove before installing the light rings, I don’t have the 4 posts to mount the light ring to. If I attempt to use the PW adapter, doesn’t look like it will mount properly, also looks like it might add too much depth. I have removed the big rectangle foam and acrylic spacer bars, that would mount under the original speaker mounting plate as well.

Factory Premium, only has two bolts for mounting the original 4”speakers. Am I missing a part? I remember reading something about a piece from speaker lights.com, but can’t remember which thread. Is it an adapter plate I need to make this work?

That’s what I was seeing, before getting it all together. After getting this plate, do I still need the small rectangle acrylic pieces taken out, or can they go back in, using the PW speakers?

And thank you all for the info and confirmation. Seems that I’ll be waiting a little longer to get these installed.

And as to undoing the nuts on the black PW adapter, not sure there’s a way, without damaging it. Can’t grab hold of the bottom part of bolt, it just spins when trying to loosen it.

I’m debating about those, as I have the WizardMod speaker box cover on my machine, so you really wouldn’t see the surround. But then again, if it helps spread the lighting effect, I’ll still get them. I know my cover will reduce the lighting effect a little, but waiting to see to what extent.

Ooooo, didn’t notice/realize they offered that. Happen to have any pics of how it looks on your machine? Just curious.

No not yet, curious how many plays you have on it? Looks like your portion by the middle post between the two scoops, is getting chewed up. Check the balls for any damage lately?

Curve of your scoop looks to be taking damage as well, unless that’s just the lighting.

When you removed the old Stern protector, did any of the wood on the side of the hole, have any roughage? Wondering if the NJ material is snagging on something. Just spitballing ideas right now.

How often are you hitting that area per game?

Looks beautiful, waiting for my adapter plates to come in, to get mine finished.

Wanted to share here as well, posted in the Rush Owners thread.

Install Tip: If you have a Pinwoofer setup, and you’ve upgraded your back box speakers to PW’s latest version(has PW on back of speaker instead of Pyle), you will need #8 1/2” screws to mount the speakers to the light rings. The supplied 3/8” will not reach the mounting holes.

All that aside, extremely happy with the end result. Here’s what it looks like, installed behind a WizardMod speaker panel cover with no cut outs.

Absolutely loving them, much like all NC’s other products. I wanted to make sure you and others were aware, so they can plan ahead if needed, regarding the screws

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you, thank you for the awesome products put out this year!

^This guy didn’t check out the link

Just a good ribbing my friend, always important to read NC’s breakdown of items.

I have to admit, I wasn’t big on the under cabinet lighting for pinball machines, but the fact this triggers and interacts much like your speaker kit, is very impressive.

Awesome job

Get in line

Step 6 discusses this very thing;

You don’t even have the expression lights yet? Blasphemy!

Got mine through a distro, but looks like a lot of them are sold out now.

Myself and a few others, are still waiting on the royalties from all of those distros that sold out their LZ Ex Lights stock, for helping to push their sales

Got my little box of goodness today, will have to find time later this week to install them. Thanks NC!

One slight suggestion to offer, only because the pic above reminded me, you may want to start wrapping some bubble wrap around those transformers. They’re just heavy enough, that they’ll bang around during shipping. Most of your parts wouldn’t be much concern, but anything fragile(little pcb boards), could and will take a hit during transit.

Had it happen with my speaker lights kit, where it bent a few of the pins on the little pcb. It was an easy fix, so I didn’t say anything previously, but wanted to look out for your future business. At the time, it wasn’t pins I needed to use, now with the under cab lights that I’ll be installing, I’m crossing fingers those pins will be ok

It’s not like you’re busy or anything......lol.

Just confirming on the bit size, is it really 5/8” for the grommet hole?

Went looking through my bits, doesn’t look like I have anything that big.....will have to look around.

It was mentioned as an option, for those that didn’t want to drill the cabinet. I was 50/50, and didn’t have a 5/8” wood bit handy, so went the screen route and used spiral wire wrap, to protect the wires exiting the cab.

Important: If you go the screen route, you need to adjust your center mount distance to approximately 22”, instead of the 25” noted in the instructions. This adjustment is only if you decide not to drill the 5/8” hole method. I cannot take credit for this info, if they choose to speak up, know that it was them who informed me.

Successfully have them installed, and anxious to play a few games with our boy.

Edit: I did clean up the screen area, but didn’t get a pic of it. I’ll get a pic of it later, next time I’m in the cabinet.

Yet another bravo moment, for your team.

Finally installed the Spinner Lane Adjustment on my Rush, didn’t think it needed it, but tried it out . Night and day difference, forcing me to become even faster on my response time, as it now soars through that lane. So satisfying.....

Well poop, late to the party, but if you need a secret secret tester, you know I already have both of the other kits installed

I’d even throw on a NC magnet on the coin door, if it was provided

It’s one of those “I’ll order it since I’m already getting other things”, and it sat for awhile. The better I became at the game, the more I started seeing the issue as I progressed. Threw it on one day, and instantly started seeing the difference when playing. It’s subtle, but you will notice it.

If you don’t need it, cool. If you’re ordering other things, just get it and try it for a few games. I personally was in the “I don’t think I really need this” category, my mind has been changed since installing.

I’d say offer both, as doing only one of the two, could possibly negate the other half.

“Half of us divided
Like a torn-up photograph
Half of us are trying
To reach the other half”

Edit #2: Forget anything I stated previous, regarding Gameroom Mods topper, as for plug in location. I was completely wrong in my statement above, their topper runs off the 12v at CN6. Started wondering as I didn’t remember a splitter on it, visually confirmed.

Lesson of the day, look before you speak.....just in case, lol. Apologies for the previous bad info.

I’ve got my standard rings, wires facing towards the LCD screen. Just be careful mounting, and watch those wires on the rings, it’s a tight fit but works.

Didn’t have any issue with wire length, just wanted it set slightly different than others, at the beginning of all these NC light kits extravaganza
