I’m sticking this in on account of it’s awesome and I’m stupid.

Has stern revealed the inner art blades or shooter yet?

the shooter they leaked in one of the videos:

The blades, not seen anything yet, but also want them for the game at Flip Out.

Looks great! What led did you use?

as an owner of the original, I approve

You could also add these guys to go with "cookie-zilla". Brought to you by the letter A.

Is this shooter gonna light up? It looks solid.

It looks like an easter egg!

I got a Godzilla eye from cointaker. I’m hoping it’s not garbage.

Also, thanks for answering question on the blades...

Also also... does any shaker motor for stern 2 work? Or does it have to say it’s for Godzilla? All games so far I’ve just searched gameroom guys for name of pin and shaker and they send it. I kind of want to install the shaker when I get it next week at the same time.

it's mothra's egg, that's identical to how it looks in most movies, etc:

The blades are shown at the bottom of this page.

There are several options, but for myself and for many others, the shaker motors by Pinball Life designed for Spike/Spike 2 systems work very nicely, are easy to install and have a good feel.

I used this one… had to specify “flickering” at the time of order as it wasn’t an option listed.

Fun website to bump around on and pretty helpful videos on many products.

Edit… my link didn’t post? Sorry. I added a new post down the page a bit as so many folks pm’d me…

I think you missed posting a link.

Okay I see that. I still don’t like the look. I’m going with the AIQ one as others have done.

Special shot out to that awesome "mothra" ball save call out in this game. Absolutely LOVE it.

haha yes! So hard not to sing with it every time it happens. MOOOOOTHRAAAAA!!!

I pick that as my ally almost every time just to hear the call out. Haha

Got a new issue...

you'll probably need to adjust the building height settings in the menu, so it lowers far enough to release the ball

yes I think so too, probably just a bit too high, now to find out how...

EDIT: it's explained in the manual, the setting is fairly easy to do, the mechanical part (building seems to be a bit crooked, so the left part is higher than the right) is somewhat more complicated.

The plate kind of misses the bolt that is supposed to open it because the building leans over to the right. But to adjust you need to check if the building is level in the back, and it is hard to reach without dismantling some stuff.

And I guess that only works when the playfield is flat, and then it is pretty difficult to reach the bolts to level it.

I think there's a unique combo per city, but that's about it. If there was something more to it, they'd probably have to add something that lets you choose a starting city.

I'll bet the powerups become something like placeable shot multipliers. There's already the add a ball ally, but maybe a ball save/button based ball save powerup?

There's 3? per city and 10? of them awards and EB on current code I think.

I don't think differentiating them wildly is really the point, as you're definitely going to have to either control or destroy all of them to go to planet x. It's just another thing to progress.

Late night. Still too early for me to try all of the suggestions, but I did notice that the return spring was very weak. The soldered connection looked good, was working fine until all of a sudden a big drop off in power.

If you have an iron I would just reflow the solder anyway for the few seconds it takes just to make sure there isn't a cold joint there undetected. A quick drop in power can be a cold joint very easily, among others too but we start easy first

Found my coin door keychain….

Most likely need to calibrate the building. Check out link below. Could possibly be an obstruction as well. Make sure nothing is getting pinched around the mech. I had to route the main wire run away from mine because it was getting in the way.

Hi all,

I'm looking to get some flipper coils from Pinball Life and Terry wants to know the part numbers. Does anyone have those handy? Thanks.

Coils or coil stops?

https://www.pinballlife.com/flipper-coil-stop-for-sternsega.html

For those that were looking for these... Flaming Speaker Light kits are available for purchase. No indication of when you'll get them but they are there:
https://speakerlightkits.com/Type-14.html

No idea. I'm not electrical savvy....just whatever people are getting to combat flipper fade. I have about 500 games on my LE and starting to feel it.

The manual says 090-5032-ND COIL (lower)

090-5030-ND COIL (upper)

Are those the ones to get?

So no side armor coming? Topper who knows when that will come out, Mandolarian still hasn’t had one teased yet. Stern should contract out their accessories imo. Saw the cointaker shooter rod but don’t care just to have the eye.

New coils won't help flipper fade. You probably need new coil stops if you are at 500 games played. Otherwise PinMonk has flipper coil cooling fans available that do help with long play sessions.

Modfather has this shooter rod, but not totally thrilled with it either.

check under the playfield and make nothing is blocking the building from going all the way down

Me too and singing it all the way!!

for those of you with tesla coil mods, keep an eye on the legs...this one busted on my coil, and i haven't touched them since installing, so i'm guessing it caught a flying ball at some point...i don't see the leg anywhere on my playfield, either

also, got the blue brite buttons, think they look really good next to the premium artwork:

On my LE, I'm noticing that for the Destruction Jackpot, the ball is held on the left side of the magnet, and then it drops down to the left flipper as it should. But on Magnagrab, the ball is held more to the right in the middle of the magnet, and the ball is often released STDM. Anyone else seeing this?

I have the Stern shaker. Both are good and come down to preference IMHO. Neither will adversely affect your motherboard.

That is interesting. On my Premium, the ball is held in the same spot on the left for both.

i've noticed for destruction jackpot, the ball seems to be held stronger, as it stops moving much more quickly, while with the magna grab, it still wiggles a bit. I wonder if it's not set for as strong of a grip, which is causing it to be further down the locking area?

I had what might be a similar issue on my Jurassic Park. Game would start out fine with auto launch strength but then the launcher power would start to get crazy weak after a very short time. I powered down and then turned it back on awhile later. Same thing happened - started out fine then progressively got way weaker.

At first I replaced the coil sleeve and jiggled on the coil plunger and that fixed it. But then about a week later it happened again. So that time I jiggled & pushed on & reseated all the connection points from the coil to the board and it instantly went back to being 100% strength. It must have been a loose connection somewhere along that line causing it, but I don't know for sure which spot was the issue since I pushed on them all before testing it again. It fixed the issue though, and it's never happened again since then.

If this is similar to what you're experiencing then I'd suggest working a bit on each connection point from the auto launcher to the board to see if it resolves. Here's a post I made about it in the JP forum:

You can't go wrong either way with Keiths games... thats where keith being an operator & tournament player comes into play 100% he knows that both operators and tournament players will want to have his games both on location and in home so he will never make a game that's an operators nightmare to fix!
I own all his premiums despite not physically having IM prem yet but I will hopefully get it in 2022. I loved how well the pro GZ shot when I played it at pintastic NE this past year but I had went in on his Premium machine well before it was announced and had taken delivery of my prem before Pintastic weekend. Having played both of them it's not missing anything ruleset wise that you'd miss from the premium and the shots all flow phenomenally just like the premium game but you just dont get the diversion from the bridge or building like prem which for some is not necessarily needed. I love the moments that it creates in the gameplay but thats inly from a home ownership standpoint and on location those moments actually keep players coming back to see it one more time! But listen you've got the best damn game made in the last year for sure! JP is still the best game of the millennium in my opinion! Shots,storyline,ruleset,artwork from premium game its just such a INCREDIBLE GAME! GODZILLA MAY HAVE IT BEAT BY THE END OF IT'S CODE CYCLE BUT WE WILL SEE!

Man, March can't get here quick enough... hopefully my day one ordered Premium will be delivered then!!!

I wish the Godzilla eye shooter rod was encased in epoxy so it was just a round sphere as opposed to a molded thing that will feel weird when plunging. I also don't want the Easter egg so I guess I am staying with the stock one for now.

Blue looks great! Where can I get these?

Was cleaning my playfield and decided let’s get rid of these crap coil stops. After lifting the playfield I found a light at the bottom of the cabinet. Can someone please help me figure out where it came from? No service alerts or anything and not sure what test to run to figure out where this belongs. Thanks!
