After selling my GnR LE recently, I have decided to join the AIQ club. I've been told by my distributor that there is to be another run in March and he has my name on a Premium.

Anyone have any insight whether these will come off the line in early March or will it be later in the month?

I've already started to acquire the standard mods that I get for any new game. Holding off on some of the game-specific mods until I know for sure that I will have a game in hand next month... also hoping to pick up some at TPF after getting a chance to see them in person!

I just felt like it was time for something new. I had no issues with my GnR, but I am feeling the need for another Elwin game in the house and it's not possible to get a NIB Godzilla Premium right now.

If anyone else is in the same boat as me and waiting for a Premium from the March build, please let me know if you've gotten any kind of estimated date from your distributor as to when the games might be arriving. I'm really hoping to have mine before TPF....

Just got my October 2021 build date premium and installed a shaker motor. The motor tests ok but it seems to almost never activate during gameplay. Has it not been coded much yet?

It just never seems to get really rowdy like my Iron Maiden does, even though I have it set for maximum. I have felt it go off a couple times but it’s very subtle

Just installed the official Stern shooter rod, which looks really cool. However now a manual plunge will not make it over the ramp in the back. I tried to switch out the inner spring with the one from the factory shooter (as I've read others have done), but I can't tell that made much difference. It seems like the plunger tip on the new shooter actually sits at least 1/2" further back from the ball than the factory rod did.

The picture’s hard to see but it doesn’t seem like the plunger tip should sit so far back…

Well I am a dummy… put the old rod back in and it sits exactly the same way… guess I never tried a full plunge on the factory Rod because it behaves the same. Maybe I need a purple or red spring instead of orange?

Hey does anyone have Diddy's excellent PYM building mod installed who also has Pinstadiums? I have yet to install my Pinstadiums or PYM building, but when I dry-fit the PYM, it does not look like there is enough clearance to accomodate the magnamounts or light bars of the Pinstadiums. Just curious if anyone has successfully installed this combination on their game...

Here's the link to the fix that Pinball Life offers to decrease the outlane drain frequency (mentioned previously):

I've had my AIQ Premium about a month. I've just about finished putting the normal mods on it (speaker lights, subwoofer, pinstadiums, etc). Suddenly a new behavior has happened and it's very troubling... after a few minutes of play, the flippers will all go dead for about a half second... meaning that you can push the buttons and nothing happens. It is literally about a half second interval that this happens, and then they are fine again for a few minutes, until it happens again. Most of the time it happens when there is a multiball going on but it has happened with just a single ball in play also. I haven't been able to relate it to a specific other coil firing at the same time or anything. Just to make sure it wasn't the pinstadiums (those were the last mod I installed), I unplugged those and electrically removed them from the game (they are still physically installed). Unfortunately, it is still happening even after they are not present.

Any ideas? The game played flawlessly for several weeks and this started happening suddenly.

I did connect the pinstadium app to them after they were installed.

However, the problem has persisted even after I totally removed the pinstadiums from the game (electrically). It's hard to see how there could be any remaining interaction from the pinstadiums. I want to be able to blame them, not because I have something against them, but because they were the last thing I added to the game before this problem started happening, but the problem is still happening even after they were removed.

I do have sleeves and stops and ready to replace them, but I don't think this is what is going on here. This is like the coils lose power for a half second or so... all 3 of them stop working at the same time. They come right back after this half second of being dead and are just as strong as ever... until it happens again a few minutes later.

Yes I disconnected all the wires... just left the light bars in place but not connected at the moment. I might as well reconnect them since the problem occurs with or without them there.

Well this just happened….

In my entire lifetime of owning pinball machines I have never made it this far into the wizard modes! Played Black Order, Battle Royale, the topper mode, and got to battle Thanos (and failed). At least a 30 minute game! My previous GC score before today was just over 300M.

Send a PM to Spider , he will take care of you!

I like the way the mirrors look, especially with Pinstadiums!
