Quoted from Baggerman:

Hypersleep ramp... check to see if the Pbros service bulletin on "hang' applies. Did you try to mess with teh long guide post at all? I found on mine i needed to apply slight pressure on this post towards rear of pin. i did that with ball inside the mech... once it is aligned, it pops the ball out. Crazy but that is what worked.
Facehugger..check to make sure the mech is fully aligned coil and stop could be out of alignments
Balls and scratches... same here.. stock balls are shit and shoudl be tosssed on day one. Novus 2 on the bad ones and a good wax helps.

Quoted from Royale-W-Cheese:

nice collection, show us a few more pics..

Quoted from Royale-W-Cheese:

Very nice, never seen the machine on the left??

Quoted from Sixtieskid:

when did LV's start shipping?

Quoted from Dee-Bow:

By scratch you mean it's not a re-themed older machine?
More pics when you have a chance would be awesome!

Quoted from KJS:

Guys check your hypersleep lock area, the 2 holes for the optos. Mine had very bad swarf left from the manufacturer and were scratching the pinballs badly. I fixed the holes and replaced the balls with standard carbon from pinball life. I polish them up with the hole in wood trick on the buffer for a bit of bling.
I have 2 guys wanting the blue LV translite set and 2 wanting the green SV inspired set. If anyone still wants one let me know...need 5 per colour to do a run ecomically. I think I'll pull it up after this 5 so no more moving forward please. Thank you to those who contacted me and liked them! No pic of the Blue installed sorry..but looks great on the bench.
Damn Queen nearly bit my thumb off !

Quoted from kciaccio:

Is that open spot for a Halloween pin?

Quoted from megaladon:

What’s technically considered under warranty? My game is a home use game maybe 100 plays And I already got that plastic by muther hole cracked in half at the thinnest point. Would this be under warranty or just nitpicky? Just surprised they don’t send common plastics or protector or something but I bet it would break pretty often. Either way they’re doing a great job trying to keep all the customers happy and get their games working out there for all of us.

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

There is a lot of black and therefore swirl marks will show more when polishing the clear incorrectly (using the wrong cleaner and rug and fingers and/or with use/play)
It is clearcoat, therefore, it can be polished out as any other automotive clear if you do it right and with the right tools is a lot easier.
Anything painted black and clear coated has a bad tendency to show defects and with the incorrect technique you are introducing more scratches, the black colour underneath the clear makes it standout more than a lighter colour.
Polishing well by hand is very slow and tedious, people get tired and apply too much pressure to speed up the process which turns into more scratches and a mediocre polishing job.
It was asked before what cars and pinball have in common and that is clearcoat. It does not matter what substrate it is on (wood or metal) paint is paint and it behaves the same way.
If you are seeing scratches after using microfiber it is mostly due to your technique but it is an easy fix: I recommend you switch over to a forced rotation device. Meguiar’s makes a drill attachment that is great to fit inside the cab.
Lastly, Other colours are more forgiving but the scratches are atill there. If you think this is just a thing of this Pf it is not, it is just that is black and it just shows wear and tear more than a pf with more distracting colours patterns etc.

Enough now of this clear nonsense, please continue with more Alien!

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

Interesting. I am surprised to hear this, specially after seeing these guys hammering the PF with sledgehammers.
I have never been able to get ball trails off any PF 100% by hand and not expecting this to be different on a black pf.
Rick and morty isn’t black and if you look closely I bet the trails are probably there too after cleaning just better disguised in the clear/lighter colours.
As per the nonsense, I was referring to my own explanation.

I have a few hundred hours behind a polisher and know a thing or two about fixing paint (and clear) and I can put scratches on any clear with a microfiber.
Last question, if you can catch a nail on the ball trail then yes the clear is bad (deeply scratched) if not, you are just seeing it more due to the dark nature of the pf.
I am not defending PB nor the quality of the Pf,I am just trying to give me insight about paint work.
I dont think the clear is trash. Or it would not survive the sledgehammer shown in the video.

Quoted from brandonx76:

Anyone know how to turn the loud shake/startup off?

And - is there a way to quit a game - like sterns"Hold Left button and start for 3 secs etc"

Quoted from Spacemanratso09:

Where’s Bill Nye when you need him

Quoted from brandonx76:

Thanks - doesn't seem to quit (like Stern) rather, resets game to 1 player / start of new game. Is that right? Is there anyway to have it back out entirely to attract mode etc?

Quoted from megaladon:

Game is finally working great. Having some decal scraping on the front cabinet every time I remove the lock bar.

Quoted from megaladon:

I think it’s a great game when it’s working but it’s slowly falling breakung as I play it lol. I think a lot of it is new technology and third-party parts.I sent an email 3 days ago) to Pinball brothers and they haven’t responded back to me regarding my broken target and now my upper right flipper is completely disabled/not firing (update, actually I checked all the solder joints everything was fine but then I simply spun the coil and it started working again so it must be a wire on the inside of the sleeve, but definitely some sort of short connection). Every time I remove the glass to troubleshoot my front lock bar digs into that front decal. I think this is possibly due to the way my cabinet was put together it’s a little uneven. Don’t lose faith, the game is great and fun when it works! I know it’s a learning curve for everybody including PB Brothers and I have faith that they’ll get me working.

Quoted from brandonx76:

Silly question but...those should work with the Queen mouth grab and other magnets on the game, correct?

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

Ugh, sorry man.
Can you see the crack on the underside of the insert? Curious to see if it’s the insert itself that cracked

Quoted from megaladon:

Just curious for anybody that has an LV. Is The anti-reflective glass marked or etched by anything? Just curious of the company? Mine is pretty thin and it’s hard to tell if it is or not anti reflective?

Quoted from precisionk:

I will ask those to check screws at times on their games. One of my drop targets was hitting the new rubber I put in, when I went to go adjust, I noticed a screw was loose. As I go to tighten, the screw head pops off. You will note in the picture the screw head had glue. I believe it was sheared off and the factory just glued the head back on without fixing the issue.

Is this what u needed?[quoted image]

Quoted from applejuice:

Question, is the shaker on at power up getting fixed soon? Kind of a bad power on effect!!
Also, it seems lv games ship with a load of cables for target lamps unplugged? Because they are not yet coded in. Strange decision, why not just leave them plugged in ready for awakening in code later. I want to plug them in but now I’m wondering if there’s a reason they aren’t?? Are other lv games like this to??

Quoted from Chalkey:

The one in Allentown left flippers weren't working when I walked up

Quoted from brandonx76:

Didn't realize this, where's the preferred location to install the spring? One of mine broke, but I stretched what was left and its holding, and the other slipped out and I remounted, and stretched the connecting piece of the spring, but to the same location. Ordered spare springs, but still holding the original (even tho one broke).

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

yes sorry, I was referring to whatever button is needed to use the firearms.

Quoted from Ceemunkey:

I finally got around to installing Kurt's fantastic translite! To be of any competition to the quite frankly amazing LV artwork speaks volumes to its awesomeness.
Also just FYI for everyone... I had another 2 nights of issues where my machine kept locking up, freezing or restarting during play but reseating the backbox connectors (again) resolved everything. ‍♂️
