I emailed Frank at JJP asking if I could get the washers that were used on the CE models
2 days later still no replie.. why cant they just sell us the washers that some factory installed games came with ? Seems like an easy fix to prevent damage

When the ball drops off the right side of the pearl and falls in the shooter lane...anyone using mylar in that area ? Seems like a hard drop off the ship to the playfield

I would like jjp to acknowledge the issue and make available parts to protect the game to owners. I emailed Frank and sent a message to Eric..no replies . Great way to treatment loyal customers who have bought multiple games

Quoted from gumnut01:

Single. I have double but not installed as I am now awaiting JJP as they are putting together a solution. Wasted 50 bucks buying all the posts, washers, slings and postage. Anyway.
White rubber gave me 4x as many air balls as titans. Just received white super bands. Was going to give them a go.
Maybe white rubber is more bouncy than black. It does deteriorate much faster than black. I should have got smaller super bands for the star map area, that would mean rubbers only have to be swapped over once. Damn there’s another $10 postage.

Who told you jjp is putting a kit together ? Officially I have heard no statement yet.

Quoted from harryhoudini:

Well that will be interesting. We know hard washers dent the playfield. Of course, we already did new posts with different kinds of washers...and instructions for install. Would be nice if the company would post this themselves, even the "coming soon" note, captive audience here and a simple presence could cull a lot of rumors and 3rd hand information. I'll wait to see..

Kit from JJP will include 6 star posts,plastic washers and rubber washers.... Basically similar to the fix pinsiders came up with. Info will be out very soon

I received my post repair kit from JJP yesterday, single grove star post and one little and big plastic washer. No instructions yet

Quoted from Psw757:

Unreal....this is not exactly what I was told.
I wonder what happened to the soft washer?
Bigger hard Plastic washer under star post will leave a crater.

I didn't take it out of the bag yet....They felt firm to me. I will check it out tonight and report back.
