Question....is the pf wire loom long enough to take the pf out and lean it against the cab? That would make putting the Stern art blades sooooo easy.

Haters gonna hate, but this thread is closing in on the Jpop thread in posts. Can it keep it up and surpass?

I've been contacted to settle up my balance on my LE as well. No rush from the distributor, but a heads up to get payment in soon. Looks like we're in that 10-14 day window now.

Looking forward to hearing about your GB home play experience on your podcast. Loved the GB road trip episode, which I listened to en route to Pinagogo.

Thanks, man. I'm really excited to go in depth about it on the show. I plan on doing a "things I like, things I don't like" style of overview.

I'm good, since it is a sticker, I recentered it, will probably throw it on the machine. Better it get beat than anything else.

Nice, thanks for posting this. I switched my pro order back to a premium the other day, lol.

No - I've been paid in full since ordering. He was just confirming my address since it is being shipped directly from Stern to me. He said he would notify me when it ships though so I'll post back when I get that email.

Most of those lightbars are adjustable....they just take different speaker grilles. If you get a good light bar, and know what you are doing, you can cut the grille down yourself and the lightbar will fit just fine. Just need the min dimensions of the bar you are buying. I'm betting someone comes up with a better looking one. Wouldn't take much.

All 38 seconds of it?

Sorry I meant I just ordered the art blades

Though it was only 38 sec I liked it too. It showed slimer moving smoothly and not banging into anything on its way back to the city. Also the angle was cool view.

Yes...those 38 secs at that angle showed smooth ramp shots and the slings in action enough to tell me I think we are in good shape..

Yeah really hate the top down videos we keep getting that angle tells so much more

I think the pro is a really cool and fun game, I would have been happy to have had one. I was able to free up some more pinball funds so figured I would go with a premium.

I still have a hard time stomaching the premium price due to some of Sterns recent cost cutting moves and yet another price hike while a DMD is still being used. Moving the power button to the head of the game is something I'll never understand. These things are luxury items and something such as turning on the game should be easy. Same goes for the lack of 100% color changing inserts in the premium. However, Ghostbusters premium seems to be Sterns most loaded game to date so I'll go for it. Its also helps that Ghostbusters is one of my favorite films of all time

Have you heard if any of the changes to the pro such as the center captive ball mech being strengthened and outlane ball guides being slightly higher have made it over to the first run of premiums?

With the power supply in the backbox, and no giant transformer that's better mounted in the bottom of the cabinet, it doesn't make much sense to run wires all the way down and to the front of the cab just for a power switch. I don't find this troublesome at all—except that I feel like a doofus every time I reach under the cabinet trying to turn on GOT.

So,the power on switch is on the backbox?? Thats inconvenient as hell! All you have to do is put a frikin switch where it always is for continuity! My backboxes are against the wall for gripe sakes!!

Its not the end of the world but it is for sure much nicer to have it under the front of the pin than under the backbox. Especially if you have pins close together/side by side in a line up.

I love many of the callouts like "Back off man, I'm a scientist" or "I blame myself - I do too" (something like that).

"I guess car manufacturer should put the ignition right beside the engine since it doesn't make much sense the run wires right beside steering wheel for easy access." LOL

I didn't know about this and all I have to say is WTF!!!! It's going to be a pain in the ass for me to turn on my machine because mine are so close together.

I guess power bar it is.

Doesn't change the fact that it was a stupid decision from Stern's part.

That comes in the sequel...............couldn't resist!

I moved the power switch on my GoT from the backbox to the tournament button hole. I smile every time I step up to the machine and flip it on:

I'm an electrician and thought I came up with a great idea like putting it in the tournament button spot. Got to this posting and was like... Great minds DO think alike!

Yea, they probably saved $1.39 per machine...

Too bad it's not good for us Canadians. The tournament button is included on all our games. So no replacing the tournament button.
I'd really like to know that reason apart from financial reasons.

I don't know about that, if Stern can save a $1 on a machine they will so that extra .36 cents probably made it a must do

Is the tournament button not usually Standard? Mine had it.

Yeah the tournament button is an add on if you want it but in Canada it comes included. Go figure. If there only reason to put the power switch on the backbox is cost savings then shame on them! I want to see a pic of this because i feel the internet is pulling my leg.

I'm not sure why they add the tournament button, but my speculation would be that it is due to some law there....probably allowing it to pass as a non-gambling device. Stern isn't installing it out of the goodness of their hearts.....it probably has to be there to get into the country.

Just got a call from my distributor, and they say they just got word from Stern. LE's in production starting mid-June through the end of the month and shipping as they go. So they said to figure at least 3 weeks to my door minimum. Premiums are after LE's, and I am sure there are going to be more exports first, so figure mid-July at the earliest.

From limited play I think the pro is pretty darn fun. However, that right ramp is just a flow stopping boring shot. It goes up a ways then falls down to right inlane. That really kills the possibility of me buying a pro. With ramps I want some speed and flow not something that dribbles up the slowly roles back down. Still a fun pin that was just something that really bothered enough to say it's premium or no go on this one.

It's on the underside of the headbox that hangs over the lower cabinet, not behind the game. You'll be able to reach it just fine.

Weird, 'cause it's not yet mid June and we've already seen tons of them in assembly.

I'll add fuel to the fire. I got my email from my distributor yesterday and his guess was 10-14 days to shipping. I think the real answer is any day now to 3 weeks depending on where your machine falls in the production queue.

Yeah I don't think distros really know but customers keep pestering them so they say something that sounds good and is plausible.

I am actually making use of that feature at home. My wife and I have a weekly tournament. Whoever puts up the better score at the end of the week gets out of bedtime duty for our kids. She's been whooping me this week!

Ok stupid question what exactly does the button do and how much?
