I'm in...just ordered a premium yesterday !
Somewhere in the forum I saw a list of protection items to install but can't find it.
Does somebody have that link or any suggestions?
Does somebody know how to remove the VUK curved metal deflector.
I am getting ready to install the cliffy protector for the hole and after reading cliffys instructions and looking at the part i cant see where the screws are or how to access them. At least in the order prescribed by cliffys website.
Maybe some one has already done this and can help me out and give me some tips.
Quoted from BigDan:Where can I find this Vengeance plastic protector? Im referring to the horizontal one covering the lane and not the vertical one covering the explosion plastic.
You can get that from pinbits at pinbits.com
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:Perhaps we should then! Once i get that playfield up again to have a better look i'll post bac
Yes we should. ..
my premium black hole is pretty dim compared to rest of the inserts.
Just getting ready to install my speaker panel decal from Aurich, does anybody have tips on how to do this.
Do I remove the panel ? How do you keep it smooth without bubbles or wrinkles?
I got my 7/16 clear super rings from cointaker for around the entire playfield. About 2 months ago with no splitting yet.
Has anyone considered using a dremel to cut away the other half of laser hole in the apron to increase the projected laser field?
I've heard it's pretty cool and it throws the laser on the wall behind the machine and translight.
That's sweet pwhiz
Friday night I hit 23 warp ramp shots and actually made 9 in a row.
This pin is SO KILLER love it more every day I play it.
Waxed it today ...holy shit ....thank god I have all the protection in place. Cliffy, Freddy , pinbits. ...let it fly.
Quoted from jpc211245:Hi -
I am a wannabe......but to fix that status I am prepared to buy a nib ST Premium in the next 24 hours.
What is the single best reason to buy this particular pinball?
Thanks in advance
Because it's the best !
Anybody out there need an Aurich speaker panel decal ?
I have an extra one with a small very small wrinkle on the upper left corner. Decal has never been used or removed from backing. Send me a pm and I will ship it to you for free.
Quoted from Trekkie1978:Looks like Premiums are almost gone from the distributors. I saw Automated raised their price by $400.
How do you know this ?
Great fix Eskaybee,, simple and you can see it gets used .
Simply by you pointing out how dirty the red post is.
Speaking of airballs
Does anybody get airballs while shooting the warp ramp ? Sometimes it shoots up and lands in the alpha ramp wire form . I have even had the ball fly all the way across the pf under the vengeance and land in the pop bumpers. I have checked the warp ramp flap but can't figure it out, anybody?
What I think is happening is , the warp ramp metal flap is slightly lifted at the lower left leading edge just above the light lock target bank and just behind the ramp flap is a post with a small rubber on it. So when I hit the lower edge of the ramp flap it jumps slightly hitting the top edge of the rubber on that post which launches it to who knows where.
Is there a particular mission or 2 that should be started first and second for scoring reasons. Say, for tournament or league play?
Quoted from MT45:2 questions for ST Premium experts.
First. About 25% of the time when I hit the Alpha ramp, when the ball is on the way back down on the wire habitrail, as it hits the VUK turn, it literally comes off the rails and flies onto the playfield. More often than not dropping right into the left flipper return lane. Anyone else have this issue and how do you fix it?...
I had this happen when the pin was brand new and after waxing the pf. The ball is moving so fast that the rails can't hold it.
I have had the ball on the alpha ramp, after the initial 90' turn come off the rail hit the cabinet wall to the left back on the rail and off again to the right at the VUK turn more than once.
Funny you say that eskaybee, now that i think about it.
After I installed my pinbits set , slings , that stopped.
Need some help,
I installed the green laser yesterday and I also have the blackout mod installed, but since I installed the laser when a ball is auto plunged in Klingon multiball the gi lights flash on and the laser stops projecting for a second or two. Did not notice this prior to instalation of green laser.
Anybody have this with these two mods running? Is that normal ?
Quoted from Eryeal:Whatever you do, don't tell him that there's actually more than one ball.
But Someone please tell him that he doesn't have to put quarters in it .
I need to add some accent color to my game.
Let's see some pics of playfield lighting.
What did you use and where ?
Help me out guys
My photon torpedoes leds have started to glitch and show random / multiple colors at the same time. Hopefully it's just a connection thing.
Any ideas?
Quoted from JimB:Can someone post a photo of the connection location next time you in that area?
Yes this would be great.
Freddy's ramp Protectors from Germany is where i got mine , very nice.
Does somebody have that link?
Quoted from gweempose:I just wish there was a way to modify the kickback so it had a little more, you know ..... kick. I don't understand what is fundamentally different about the kickback on ST, but it is way less consistent than any other game I own.
I believe there is a setting for this in the feature menu.
Quoted from gweempose:Does the setting affect the strength or the timing? It seems like the timing is slightly off, causing weak kickbacks most of the time. I'm pretty sure my game is not unique in this sense.
I agree the kickback is inconsistent, but yes I believe it's a strength adjustment
Feature adjustment #47 , left eject power.
Quoted from gweempose:Thanks! Do you have to install these on top of the factory protectors?
Yes, from what I remember they install over the stock ones. It's a tight fit with some twisting like previously mentioned but they look great and and are very sturdy.
Just ripped off a few games this morning after being away for thanksgiving, damn this game is fun, glad to be home.
Anyone else love getting home just to play ?
Quoted from Zadom:Looking at the ramp protectors on eBay and it looks like they go under and not over the factory protectors. Is this correct?
Ya i may have that backwards , either way good product.
Quoted from jawjaw:You might want to also check your balls and make sure they are in good shape.
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:I set mine for 3 balls. Extra ball awarded at 5 warp ramps, 25M, 75M, 125M, and 200M.
I made similiar setting adjustments tonight
3 Ball
Extra Ball 7 warp shots
50 million , 100 mil, 150mil, 200mil
Made it to KM first game had double scoring running, and apron lights not running.
So to answer previous question I guess this is normal.
Let me add it was great playing deeper into the game with the new settings, and that was my first game. Guests will also enjoy it much more I think.
Is this a problem all of us will face eventually over time ?
My pin isn't that old, less than a year.
If so did any one take some detailed pics and document fix?
These caps look great !
I've heard getting to the bumper under the vengence can be a bit a of a pain.
Anyone have experience with this?
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:Yes and even more of a pain on the Premium/LE. But well worth the effort!
Not what I wanted to hear, I have the Premium.
Quoted from Meegis:I have an LE and have the pop caps waiting on install....
Debating if I try to do it before the holidays or not.
Take some pics and let us know how it goes.
Quoted from Zitt:Yeah. I've given up trying to keep it straight
How many games do you guys have on your machines?
I'd this common, anyone else?
Quick question,
Are there spots around the playfield that should have a little mylar applied.
I have never heard of anyone talking about it around here.
I went back tonight with my mini led Maglite flashlight and I could not see any mylar at all.
So should LE / Premium owners think about putting some around the pops, or Is that overkill with the extra clear?
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:My LE has Mylar in the pop bumpers and a big piece in front of the vengeance - all the way across from the warp ramp to the beta ramp, and up to the drop target.
It looks factory, but as the 2nd owner I can't say for sure.
I would guess this was done by first owner. Unless someone else can verify
Quoted from rai:I'm curious, what the effect of Mylar if you need to replace it?
This is a very good question,
Quoted from rai:My STLE has a big area Mylar in front of Vengance came like that from the factory.
I'm not sure about the pop area, I can't see it but didn't take the glass off to check.
That's totally weird, some LEs do and some dont. I can definitely tell you my premium does not have any mylar.
Quoted from ectobar:I have a Premium, and have the same setup. Definitely interesting that some have it and some don't.
That's crazy, so what's your production date?
Maybe I should get some mylar ?
And call Chas at Stern and see what's up.
My bad, i wasnt looking at this originally but I actually do have mylar in front of the vengeance like others but can not tell in the pops,
Which 3 in a row award the most points ?
If I remember these captain's chair awards are not timed and end once the maximum amount of points has been eraned.
So which of the 3 , spinner, ramps, or pops awards the most ?
Quoted from jawjaw:You only get one 3-in-a-row per level. Although, you can get two if the last mode you complete finishes two rows.
Good to know .
So before starting kobiashi maru tonight the pin was awarding me my medals as usual...
5 bronze
1 silver
4 gold
2 gold...What ?
So for some reason it gave me 2 more gold medals on a completely new screen after it had already awarded gold medals.
Any one else ever see that ? I could swear that's what I saw .
I don't know what happened with the medals, but it was not normal, and I can't be 100% sure about the medal count but there was an extra award screen. That's what caught my attention I was ready to keep playing and it continued to award 2 more medals.
Quoted from MustangPaul:It's a cool visual reminder that you have torpedoes, I wish the Pro had something like that instead of just the button flashing. But that's why you buy a Prem. and LE.
Im pretty sure the pro has the torpedo triangles as well.
Have you tried playing with the cinematic music from the movie ?
It fills in alot of dead air with nice sound,
Like when attempting to start a new mode.
Quoted from MT45:Here is where I ended up ... love these settings ...
Under standard adjustments
#47 Music Volume = 1
Under feature adjustments
#50 Music Volume = zero
#51 Speech adjustment Minus = 20
These are perfect , Thanks
Quoted from bonanza:Just got my premium, unboxed it, and played about 5 games. Totally awesome out of the box experience. Love it
Ramp shots, lighting, effects, toys, and sound are all great. Highly recommend this game.
What ? How ?
Sorry wrong thread, lol,
Quoted from ectobar:It took 3ish years, but I finally got to 5 Year Mission!
What a rush. Almost completed it as well.
Was on ball 3 with an EB from the Vengeance already secured. Had 3 modes left to go. Got to the last one, KB3 and drained. Completed KB3, and then the nerves really kicked in. Proceeded to brick the Vengeance shot to start 5YM at least 4-5 times. Got double dangered recovering one of the shots, but finally manged to put it home.
It's time to sip on a beverage to calm my nerves while I grin and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
