Quoted from VolunteerPin:

Craftsman torpedo level was the best $30 I've spent in pinball. Much more accurate than either iPhone or Android app in my experience.

Is it the silver one with green digital angle display? They look really nice, think ill order one. I have old school torpedo level and speed square i could check accuracy of phones with, use to frame residential houses for years.

I just played 5 games and not a single ball jumped the outlanes at 6.5 degrees. Only problem ive had is slimer not registering unless hit with good shot. Guys complaining about slings, scoop holes, orbits there all adjustable in settings. I wouldnt base judgment of game if played on location cause there probably not set up right. Allentown games werent set up right that i watched.

You're the only one who wants more GB2

I like GB2 a lot. Yes it's a bit different and a testament to it's time with everyone not smoking and a rap-music centric soundtrack, but thats kinda it. Only thing I wondered about is that the arrival of Vigo happens on new years eve but the movie does a very poor job communicating that.

There is a reason GB3 was never written. Its because GB2 was a flop. I guess they did write GB3, it's the ladies turn. But yet look at all the Police Academy movies. They kept popping those out, and they got pretty bad too lol

Sorry for sounding like a newb, I've done a lot of work on my pins myself, but I have never raised the rails on a machine before. Could you state how you went about it, and with what tools? Thanks!

I pulled some old GB stuff out of my closet earlier looking for topper ideas. This Slimer statue from the video game might be kind of cool. Maybe with a few busters in chase.

Or maybe a gadget like this Giga Meter replica. Or maybe a vertical PKE meter which I have somewhere. If it were possible to rig the Mattel PKE to open and close during certain game events, it would be amazing.

I read in one of Vids guides to always use a high quality brad point drill bit when drilling through a clear coated playfield. A brad point bit has 3 points on it versus one on a standard bit. The two points on the outer edge with cut through the clear coat smoothly.

GB launch party was a success! Location players are loving the game.

Got to witness a big score last night on location by one of our league players. The rule change for the captive ball - flipper reversal during Mass Hysteria is awesome!

Scoring seems to be more balanced now.

I like LE's and pick them up when I can at reasonable prices. However, this one is nuts. It's not worth paying 10k or more for a LE when you can get a Premium for under 7k, the window dressings of the LE just aren't worth it. The Premium art is great, and they'll likely offer an armor set. Premium all the way on this one....
