Wife gave me the go ahead to buy a Pro table but not a Premium. Table will be home use only, im just alittle worried about the Pro not having the ramp setup of the premium table and not having the ecto goggles. Im not big on the magnetic slings so thats a non issue for me. Do you guys think i should not worry about the extras on the premium and just buy the pro? Really wish i would have made it down to Baltimore to give a Pro a go the other day, i hate buying before even seeing table in real life.

She likes to play just as much as me, was biggest surprise when i brought my first pin home. After really looking at the premium table im going to wait till i see some videos of the premium in action to decide. The ecto goggles my 5yr old boy will love, the subway ramp going under table looks fun, having the extra ramp from left flipper makes it look like it will flow more then pro, Stay puff being on Premium is a plus for my family since my son loves the stay puff scene and walks around saying "the choice is made, the traveler has come" in his best Zuul voice and he doesnt really like slimer since hes more popular with the Real Ghostbusters cartoon fans which he doesnt like, the 3d buildings also look alot nicer. Only thing im not into on the premium is the magnets, im not a fan of the magnets on Adams Family but have to see GB magnet slings in action first.

Come on Stern release some Premium videos so i can make my mind up!

Shooting from the left flipper on the Pro has anybody seen the ball actual go all the way up the right side of the subway ramp and go all the way around to come down to the right flipper? Every video i seen when the ball goes up the right side of the ramp it only goes half way up and falls back down not making the loop, bummer if thats the case for flow on the Pro .

Thanks man, the ramp setup on the Pro is the main reason im going Premium now. That right ramp ball gate your talking about makes it seem like your not shooting the right ramp with enough power with ball only making half way up before falling back down to right flipper. Poor design by Stern that i hope the Premium fixes with its independent right ramp.

Ive watched all the youtube videos of the pro. The ramp on pro has a diverter that drops the ball into contaiment hole that kicks the ball to the left flipper besides feeding right flipper. Looks like the Premium/le extra right ramp only feeds the left flipper which im not sure be worth extra. I dont think the extra ramp crossing playfield on Premium/le looks as good compared to Pro open view but the subway going under playfield i do like. Im leaning back towards Pro after seeing magna slings and not thinking extra ramp worth extra. Now just got to see ecto goggles image it projects to make up my mind, if goggles are dumb then its the Pro for sure for me.

From looks of premium flyer the left ramp will only feed right flipper with no diverter to the ghost contaiment hole because it is a scoop on premium/le while the right ramp only feeds left flipper. On pro the left ramp feeds the right flipper and also gets diverted to the ghost contaiment hole that kicks the ball to left flipper. Looks pretty evenly balanced on the Pro videos.

Told today that Pro wont be available until after first week of May

Ive been quoted by 3 places $4995 pro and $6695 premium

Just ordered a Pro, paid a touch more to have it in 2 weeks. Called 6 different places and wanted go with CT but im Pa resident so extra $300 tax and everybody but place i ordered from (Auto) is saying end of May for there machines.

The place i ordered from is $200 more then everybody else except CO place but also they are receiving there Pro's first out of all the places i called by few weeks to month.

Me too on Auto but i didnt get price match, calling now thanks!

Free shipping on Ghostbusters from Automated, pretty sure everywhere ive seen is free shipping

No it always goes to right flipper, use Bubble Level app for android phones.

I never used it because i never heard of it. I'll give it a try let you know if its a better app.

Just tried it and i do like it. Green cross on Ghostbusters, guess my other app was right on. I think pinball leveler is alittle easier to use and read. Thank you!

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.

Do you play ghostbusters in a completely dark room?

My wife hates flashers that are blinding but we play ghostbusters in the dark and she told me not to change any bulbs. My family really likes the light show on Ghostbusters. Im hopefully picking up a LOTR over the weekend and im going to make it playable in the dark. Use to prefer to play with lights on before ghostbusters, now i only play in the dark.

I talked with Stern today for 10 minutes about the slimer issues on the phone. They have redesigned the slimer to have a thicker cable. They talked me through some tips on getting slimer to register alittle better. My slimer is looking 22degrees to the left now but with Sterns help i know how to fix him. When slimer is activated and hes down on playfield he is still moving/bobbing up and down slightly and if hes bobbing upward when hit can effect him registering a hit. Hes not suppose to register indirect or luck shots. I dont believe they will be sending out new slimer mechanical parts for the existing Pros unless something is completely broken. There GB tables slimer works properly in there lab with the cable placed between wire and slimer looking straight at player.

I like the right ramp shot, cleaner you hit it the farther the ball goes up and traps more ghosts. Its just about the hardest shot on table and once you figure out where to hit it off left flipper end its a good shot.

Its all done to have a thicker cable. I asked for them to send new mech but wont unless its broken with pictures

Exactly what i was told.

Trust me i had every intentions on getting them to send me new one but they wont unless its broken. Maybe they will change there mind down the road if enough people complain but seems to me more people complain on pinside then actually contacting Stern. I got there direct phone # pretty easily and all my emails have been answered promptly. Im actually surprised how well there customer service is.

No theres a small terror dog target down from the right "ramp" its sorta hard to see and hit

Checking my games audits. 52 left drains, 413 center drains, and 66 right drains in 146 plays. 8338 left flips and 7176 right flips. Thats with my 6yr old playing alot.

Im sorry i was wrong. The right ramp does light during terror dog hurry up along with terror dog target.

Wonder what would happen during multilball without the one way gate. Not sure what they could change there now but it would give game more flow during one ball action

My slimer is working pretty good now registering good shots. The key to getting him working for me was adding the 2 extra washers under the black roof which allows the cable some slack after you move the cable between the 2 wires. I did the cable wire mod first right out of the box but after the cable is moved between the wires and the roof stuck back on tight it pinches the cable but with the extra washers added the cable isnt pinched which allows slimer to swing better and move the metal sensor plate better. its been working good now for a few 750k-1billion games in the past few days.

Here is picture of washers i was talking about for the guys with original slimer issue, had few guys PM me for pics but site wont let me PM pics. Just played a game and he read everytime except for indirect or soft shots. Id be reluctant at this point to install the new mech if they sent me one hes reading so good now.

I think my cable has stretched some now being looser making slimer swing more which moves the metal plate more. Have you ziptied the cable to tightly maybe between the 2 wires?

Or they play the game less then 10x, dont get multiball, play a location table thats at 9 degrees, dont know the rules, watch a video of another person that doesnt know the table, dont score over 100million then proceed to whine and bitch about the table. I personally can hit a few storage multiballs and mass hysteria on just about every game i play now. Last night played 1 quick game that lasted 15 minutes and hit 600million which is about average now. Sure the table has hard shots but what do you want 2 big wide open shots with bumpers in the middle of them and thats it? Sure the table has a few quirks, slimer needed some help to read right but alittle time into him and now he works flawless, scorelis needed spring tightened, the book stacking rail bends, and the outlane rails some feel are to low. Learn the safe shots, get use to the flipper gap, know the rules (find it funny people review the table but dont know any of the shots do), and have alot of fun once you get past the learning curve.

Heres where mines at with a 6yr old playing 1/3 of the games since the 1.05 update

20160531_225919_(resized).jpg

I really like this idea! Would really make a fun addition to the game.

I felt the same way about the right ramp at first to. After you figure out the shot cleanly and hit it during PKE frenzy for big points it becomes more fun. Im contemplating selling my Pro to buy a Premium but the right ramp on Premium reminds me of Royal Rumble center ramp that feeds right back that i grew to dislike is my concern with right ramp. Im going to have to wait to play a Premium cause i dont want to regret my decision.

That was first thing i noticed to, the flippers are definitely up more in there resting position then my Pro.

Love the shaker in my Pro and will be adding one to my Premium. Had to turn the setting onto Moderate though to calm it down some. Get a subwoofer also to go along with shaker, game doesnt feel right without them both to me.

One on GB I bought off craigslist, 12" 250watt jbl but alot of guys buy the polk 10" off amazon for $100 but i dont like the higher range base of a 10" sub.

External sub that sits under machine.

Wait till you get Storage Multiball and the shaker goes nuts, you'll be smiling ear to ear!

Heres my translight. Crisp and not washed out or wavy. Also had a good game last night still didnt beat TK-the-jammer GC score on my table of 1.4Billion but hes going down soon enough.

https://www.twitch.tv/gexchange live now, wish i could see the ecto goggles more. Dont like the straight down view

Now i see why people on here are complaining about how hard the game is. Hardly anybody even hit 10million per game while i watched it and nobody got Multiball. For all that have only played it few times or only watched this stream i can tell you the game gets way easier once you know the table.

I can totally believe that.

Its a blast when you know the table but obviously from video its a real bummer when you dont know anything about the table. When the ball comes out of the bumpers left side you need to bump the table or it will drain down center almost everytime.

It is a bit ridiculous how bad people are doing on it. GameXchange guy said earlier the Pro table is harder but im not sure now. Maybe the magna slings and slimer moving makes the Premium harder for people. Hope i dont regret selling my Pro to buy a Premium.

If anybody wants to drop there LE they ordered because of Premium video please contact me. Im not going to pay extra but i will take your spot. If not oh well Premium is good enough.

I noticed theres 2 lights in the playfield in front of the magna slings. Anybody know what there for?

I was told yesterday by my distributor that my Premium would be shipping in 2 weeks, they were right on my Pro ship date. I find it hard to believe though since no LEs have popped up yet. Wonder if there making the Premiums at the same time as LEs? Since Gamexchange had a Premium id assume that its possible. Has anybody seen any Stern assembly line videos recently? Oh yeah got a unexpected package today from Stern. Another original designed slimer mech for my Pro. Not sure what to do with it since my slimer works perfectly now.

For the record i was one of the first to bitch and complain to Stern about slimer but now he works perfectly. Dont use a ziptie to move cable between wires use a twist tie so the cables not pinched, add washers to the top black roof so the cable has room and not pinched, also make sure the 2 bolts are tight. Ive had mine like this for 100 games at least and needs no adjustments and works exactly as Stern intended. Now my slimer looks and works better then new mech.

Im a total novice player and have had two 1 billion point games and alot 500-999 million point games. Once you know where all the risk shots are and know when to bump the table its really not that hard of a game. With that said the Gamexchange stream showed how bad and brutal it can be when you dont know the table.

Heres HUO to compare to location games also with 6yr old playing alot of games. 220 games since 1.05 update

20160617_142144_(resized).jpg

And here we thought you knew everything....or at least you think you do!

I see you cant take a joke, i figured you were a little bitch but you already knew that right....

If the modes started over from beginning each time instead of remembering what shots you have left when you restart them now that would be annoying, but the way its setup now where if you hit 2 shots of 3 and time out or drain the next time you start the mode you start right where you left off. I havent seen Marshmallow Man mode or any wizard modes yet but thats what keeps me playing.

Side note my wife who doesnt play all that much hit 550million last night and had 2 Storage Mballs during game cause she knows the general layout and what to shoot for since shes watched me play it. We like the game so much were spending more money to get a Premium but id be happy to keep the Pro and buy a GOT pro but kids like the Premium look better so who am i to argue...

IMO your issues with game arent issues to me but i understand what your saying. I enjoy the game as it is and im glad the modes arent just handed to me. If i seen all the modes and heard everything the game offers in the first week i owned it id be the exact opposite then you arguing the games to easy and would get bored of it quickly.

Sounds like a good option, i see no harm in having it on there.

Heres GB, WOZ, and LOTR. GB is 1/2" wider then WOZ and WOZ is 1/16" wider then LOTR.

Angle changed if i showed both flippers making it hard to see accurate measurement in photos

Sorry its only machines i got to compare

I have the red tremor on my Pro and i had to turn it to minimum. I had it on maximum for awhile then medium but both were to much, theres another setting called long use that i didnt try. I had to put small piece of felt on all 4 corners of the translight so it wouldnt rattle, the left newton balls rattle against metal which is annoying.

The shaker settings dont deactivate/cut out the shaker only decrease the strength, minimum is roughly 30% weaker then maximum id guess, really took the edge off red tremor.

I believe some games the shaker settings do change how much the game uses the shaker, which is how i originally though GB worked. Then i turned it to minimum and it took about 30% roughly of the power away and still shakes same time as maximum setting.

I think i got 2 ball mball during we came we saw mode after beating the left scoop ladder

I installed the clear outlane plastics out of my PBL kit and sold the rest. Id never put a post kit on a game id feel like im cheating. Probably hit crazy scores with it though since have been hitting 1-2billon scores without a post. I get more drains down the sides then SDTM, i dont get many SDTM since i know when to bump the table when balls shooting out of the left side of bumpers.

No ive only had the ball hop them a few times in hundreds of plays that ive noticed. Ive had the ball squeeze between them and outlane rails a few times also. I have a Pro so i dont get alot of airballs off the left ramp, every once in awhile ball will catch air going up ramp and jump over the ramp completely but very rarely. Most my airballs come from hitting the Scoleri drop targets during multiball.

Wow thats pretty bad! I got 1 ghosting slightly on storage facility but less then your extra ball. Mine was built April 13.

I have a red tremor that was on maximum for 2 months and i have only a tiny amount of ghosting on one insert that hasnt changed

Add another ball to it. The rail will still bend but wont lock the single ball in place. Mine did push the right sides led cap off though.

April 13

#490 of 510

I dont think its the shakers either. I have basicly the strongest house shaking machine rattler there is with red tremor and 1000 plays with barely any ghosting, nothing like the LE guys have. I installed my shaker May 9th 3 days after receiving game.

Took Stern 3 months of bitching on my part and them sending me a new original designed slimer 2 months ago that was pointless and now finally a new designed slimer.

20160810_111332_(resized).jpg

I installed the carrot flippers and left the droop. Only got to play half a game but noticed the extra length right away. Old flipper gap was 2 5/8" and new is 2 3/8" in resting position which still isnt close to 2" on WOZ and LOTR here.

20160811_122137_(resized).jpg

Every blue arrow skill shot awards 10% of score and awards either mode start or spinner or ESP depending on which you hit

I have mine set at 40 and it bounces off middle right flipper and softly bounces to left flipper. Before i bought a digital torpedo and used my phone apps to level table it would catch the tip of right flipper so i had it turned up to 42 but it bounced to hard off right flipper making it hard to catch with the left.

The issue there at least for Pro table is the right saucer kicks the ball to left flipper and perfectly bounces to right flipper and i dont want both kickouts to feed right flipper shots.

Have you checked make sure the cliffy is installed right? Mine is tight against both sides in the hole but i could see if it wasnt tight would maybe effect the angle the ball kicks out in. I dont see a way to adjust the VUK except to bend the entire thing. One thing i just noticed looking under the playfield at the VUK is my cliffy has a screw hole in the front of it but no screw in it is that the way everybodys is?

I got mine at 6.7 and the bubble on game is way off.

Pinball leveller is one but i recommend buying a craftsman digital torpedo level cause phone apps arent accurate enough.

Me to, i dont know if ive ever seen it light and ive wondered for months now if its a unused insert.

Super jackpot and storage facility arrows are both ghosted, very noticeable. First time ive seen the 2x and 3x ghosted.

Captain kirk hasnt signed on since June 20th same day by chance Air Pinball signed up....how good did that GB2 look on your Bluray again Captain or i mean Air Pinball.

Yeah he always talks about pink slime from GB2 was the first give away and has commented about his Star Trek pin as his new alias among other give aways. I have no problem with Captain or Air Pinball though i was just stating the facts all in good fun

The_underscore_ its all good Captain_Kirk or Air_Pinball i actually like GB 2 also

I can hit it pretty consistently. My one friend can hit it backhand from right flipper, hes a much better player then most though. Make sure you keep the Troudo droop on the left flipper and practise the shot it gets easier.

My pros not working as good now either.

My slimer wasnt registering right either with new code so i moved his adjustments to the center of slots and he works perfect again with new code

Update to 1.11 and turn off time out of modes so have to beat every mode to continue through game. Otherwise i beat the game to easy if i dont have to complete each mode.
