I am, Airlock $65 shipped , Hypersleep Chamber $125 shipped, $170 for both, PM me if interested.

Please note that I cannot provide lighting due to the complexity of making it plug and play.

PM Mageek He makes both and they are awesome.

Opps he beat me to it. That guy in post before mine

Oh I didn't see that hypersleep chamber! I might have to snag one.

I put the STL file on Thingaverse for anyone that wants to print them.

So who has the LV post some videos damn it!

Tonight I might be able to do a quickie before heading out to TPF for 3 days....

Looking forward to meeting you in person at TPF. Can't wait to see your machine!

Who are you???

Thanks for the suggestion, mine is hanging on by a thread.

Playing our Alien SV tonight! 9pm EDT twitch.tv/wilddogarcade

Can you confirm if your LV has the double switch flipper stack already installed?

Is Alien doing a seminar at the show?
If you know of it when it is being streamed please post the link.

Just watched CGC and their seminar about cactus canyon and it was great.

Aliens have landed at TPF

LTG : )

I am an official owner of a LV!

Did you play it!!

Please somebody at the show ask them why they do not use eos at the flippers

Yes I did! Definitely different flippers. It was the first thing I immediately notice. Softer per say? Squishy perhaps? Comparing to my SW Premium, which is pretty snappy on the flip. I didn't get to see the the xeno snatch up the ball. Ramps on the left are difficult at time to get up, but I admit I am just a filthy casual when it comes to playing. The field is MUCH brighter on the LV compared to SV. LED side lighting is cool.

Fuggin' Glorious!

At this point I have my flipper 'squish' minimized (way lower game angle, flipper coils +35%) and I know to livecatch the ball when it comrs at the left flipper fastwhen it comes out of airlock. At least now if I just leave a flipper engaged to absorb a fast blow, it will 'catch' it and softly pass it back to the inlane usually, rather than just knock the flipper down. The +35% coils do make the flippers almost to powerful for the game, I also hope they add EOS option in the next update..

I honestly don't know what you guys are doing, but I have my flippers turned down -10%....there is literally nothing wrong with the flippers on mine. The button feel sucks, but snappy they are. Touchy as hell actually. I'm not saying there aren't people with issues, just wondering what the issue is. I wonder if something changed in the build/parts later in the run...

It's strange how similar to R&M this scenario is - people not having the same flipper feels and knock downs.

Sounds like a tuning issue, has anybody asked PB support?
The button feel, can the switches just be replaced for a William equivalent?

I will go back and try the others just to see how the flippers feel if any difference.

I’d be all over these guys at the show asking nerdy questions lol.

More importantly why do the boards have eos connectors but no eos switches…

Why are the flippers flopping down in some games?

I will correct myself -- I"m not sure what setting they set to +15 and it's been so long since I've set it, I don't recall if there were multiple power settings per flipper or not. I know I backed some down because they were too powerful...but there may be some timing settings for knockdowns in there. If so, I probably raised the hold power.

If any of you are at the show, can go see the guys from tpn and see if they want to go shoot the Alien!!

They are playing Cactus Canyon next to the Alien booth.
I am watching their stream

By the way, rumor has it an apron similar to the HP one will be a future potential add on..

I have my main lower flippers tuned down to 10% weaker as well. I gapped my flipper switches more and it feels a little better because they were really touchy. I have however noticed the flipper drop every once in a while. Don’t know what causes that.

Holy smokes! I had a look at mine, too and it's completely shattered as well. It's more like a rubber thong now. Time for a sleeve!

Awesome brother.

Text me at the show and lets meet.

Any DFW area Alien owners lets meet up today for a bit. #AlienClub2022

I got to meet Cato last night at TPF during the Big Smoke. He was sitting w/ Steve Ritchie most of the evening and I didn’t want to disturb, but did grab him later on while things were wrapping up. He remembered me from my issues with one of the earliest games delivered.

He mentioned that support cases have gone way down which is great to hear. Newer delivered machines generally just have shipping related issues (loose wires, etc). The factory is able to handle support cases as well now, instead of everything going through him.

LV is all sold out (not sure if that was well known - I’m not on this thread much anymore). No plans for a price hike.

I didn’t play the LV yet but will do so today. First impression is that I’m not sure how much I like the side lighting. It is hard to judge on a showroom floor but it almost seems too bright and you lose some of the creepy atmosphere.

Guys at the CT booth said the PB guys are there(didn't get to meet them), so if people at the show have questions technical or otherwise, have an opportunity to ask them directly.

I wonder if the leds has a setting for brightness? If so, should be able to help.

Looks liker pinstadiums to me...just doesn't work with this machine and looks like it makes the EL blades not pop. Are they on the whole time, or do they flash/change colors/run?

They still list spots for sale on Cointaker website this morning

At the show, they had a sign showing pre-orders targetted for late 2021.

I’m sure LV lighting seems way brighter in pics than in real life. Just like when everyone thought Halloween’s LEDs would be too bright. Curious to hear what people think who are playing it but I’m liking what I’m seeing for sure on the streams.

As for the support and PBs - it’s one of the most important things for me about this game vs the original. I really appreciate having that support if need be and so far they are killing it. Even though the last OG alien I had played perfectly fine, I never liked that one day I return to it and one of the I/O boards goes and now I have a brick with no support.

Thank you Pinball brothers for resurrecting one of the best.

Has anybody at the show used the opportunity of having the techs right there, to ask why EOS switched are not being used, and, why are some people flipper issues/knock down, etc.

It is really a great chance to discuss the game design and to understand the logic behind this design choice.

This isn't really a question is it? Why are eos not installed? Cost cutting. Why are flippers getting knocked down? Because there aren't eos switches.

LV is sold out?

Talked to Melissa from CT and is NOT sold out.

Thats the person to ask!
Thx

Heres my question for the day - has anybody been using a 'hard' power reset to turn their game on (ie. On a switched circuit or a breaker with other games) or do you need to use the power button to shut down the game everytime?

I would like to turn the game on/off with a wall switch, but I am nervous just 'cutting' power to a computer-based game

That does not make any sense sorry.
I think the question still remains.

Well the new I/O board I was sent released the magic smoke. I can't find any obvious shorts in my game. Anyone else have ongoing issues like this? I was also having these odd switch errors when it was first plugged in and it looked like the coindoor switches were shorting out.

^ooof that’s brutal! Something is plugged in wrong or coil lugs touching metal or wires somewhere I suspect!

Wondering about ongoing issues with software people are having. Seems like a lot of home use folk here but as an op this game has been really buggy, we have to power cycle it frequently. Controlled lamps go out, coils stop and balls drain, coin slots stop working. A reset fixes it each time but it’s super annoying for players and the staff — and when it happens on league night its a whole thing. I hope this is stuff addressed in software updates and not some innate hardware issue!

Its never been an issue on my jjp games and they are pc based

I turn mine on and off with a smart outlet. Flipping the switch to the power supply is the same as turning off a breaker. There’s no shut down option like a PC has.
