Doug has that as well

Quoted from Jamesays:

do you happen to have a photo of that ?

I can try and do a quick video this weekend if anyone wants to see what im talking about.

Let me know.

#9405 2 years ago

Read something about side armor.
It's the Stern's accessories?

Can someone share pics?

#9406 2 years ago

I still have the tail from my bank mod and am debating putting part of it coming from around behind the building. I would of course still need to paint it to match the rest of my painted Godzilla bank. Might give godzilla some more scale. Essentially a free mod if you have already cut up the bank. Thoughts? Too much? Looks great? Wedges in easily and does not obscure ball path.

I placed the tail closer. It looked off when it was behind the building. Either way he needs a tail imo.

Quoted from Av8:

Getting ready to make video about installing a playfield protector on my new 0 play virgin GZ Pro. Ramps are easy to remove. Only challenge looks like removing the building. Also picked up a new 4 ohm 8 inch pyle sub.
[quoted image]

Atleast on the Premium one did not need to remove the building, just lower it to the lowest position.

I got my pro on monday. Just got it set up by myself. I'm not into toys or mods but may use something for a topper. I wish Hedorah/the smog monster was on the pin.

I see some cool hedorah figures on ebay, but can't find a spot to put him. I agree, Needs to be on

one of my favorite parts of pin ownership is getting to customize the machine with toys, etc. there's lots of places that a hedorah could go on the machine...i felt the same way about Jet Jaguar, and put him in the back near the loop:

Yes please! Would like to do this before replacing my plastic.

#9415 2 years ago
Quoted from Noma2017:

I did the same. I have never had a playfield protector installed on my other machines, but it’s not noticeable in terms of looks or the ball tracking for me

Agree. Plays super smooth. Protects the investment. Never needs wax. Use pledge or orange Glo furniture polish to clean it. I see no difference in game play. If anything it's better and faster. I'll put 400 plays a year on it. In 3 years which GZ pro would u want to buy?

Me, I’d probably buy the cheaper one. Welcome to the world of subjectivity.

My best game so far. Won't stand up to most of you guys, but this is my first pin ever, and only had it a week.

Anybody see this new Godzilla option on Pinball Life’s website? I was just there yesterday. My Neca Godzilla just came in as well. Still kind of like the Neca better but this is a easy option.

Not a bad score,as you start learning how to stack the side modes with battles,playfield multiplier and multiball you can start racking up bigger scores. Sometimes I'll turn high scores off and put it on more balls for a few games to advance farther and get a better grasp for the rules.

Can't tell, but looks to be this one and they just make a mount for it

Agreed. Good catch. Not the best looking Godzilla but interesting none the less.

#9424 2 years ago
Quoted from MattyIce:

I installed a external subwoofer. Any recommendations as far as changing the settings or equalizer? I still have all the stock speakers.

We’re you able to dial in your EQ settings to utilize the external subwoofer more? I just alligator clipped the Polk to my pro and am a little underwhelmed so far. I actually think the speakers on this game sound better then my TMNT pro but was hoping the subwoofer would really step it up.

Quoted from jackd104:

I 3D printed my own, scaled them to a size I liked.

I Just got the NECA Godzilla vs Biollante 7" Figure Godzilla Biollante Bile Exclusive off of eBay. Looks like this...

#9427 2 years ago
Quoted from Av8:

Build date March 21, 2022 GZ Pro in the house! What a gorgeous pin. Finally have my ideal small line up. GZ, Rush LE and AIQ Prem.
I am installing a full playfield protector on the virgin GZ tomorrow. Should be easy. Just remove the ramps and a few side plastics. Lays right on.
Next install shaker motor. Bamboo Jet led Mod. Titan rubbers. Mirror blades on order. Better than art imo. 6 inch Neca Artic GZ figure ordered. Sling mylar on shooter lane.
The sound is surprisingly OK. How do I convert the speakers to Stern LE Kenmore's? Her is a picture of my rush Le bb speaker. I want a cheaper speaker upgrade. Not into external sub. Pyle 8 inch Sub?

Did your lift table come like that, or did you have to modify the handle?

That's Heisei era Godzilla, but it is a REALLY good sculpt, wow. Awesome

#9430 2 years ago

Just got my Premium today (awesome!), but the menu buttons done seem to be working (not awesome).

Anyone have any thoughts on what the problem might be? I checked the connections on both ends and they seem to be in fine.

Kinda cruel that I'm staring at this beautiful machine and can't play it.

This happened on my Rush, had to unplug the molex connection to the menu buttons and re-seat a few times before it worked.

Tried that - didn't seem to do anything. I can try again though.

Is there at least a way to trick the coin slot so I can give myself credits in the meanwhile?

Mine is really unresponsive, but still works but have to press each hard for a good second. Pain in the arse. Hope you get yours sorted real soon. Have you got another pin to swap the button thingy with?

That's frustrating... not really, unless I feel like dismantling it from my fish tales

Try adding coins by moving this lever/switch next to the coin mech

Which connector did you reseat? You have to do the one on the cpu in the backbox and the one at the coindoor board. I’ve had this issue too and reseating fixed it. Make sure all the pins are properly in the connectors.

The only thing stern will do is send you a new set of buttons, which likely are not the issue.

Did Stern add a crackle texture finish to their GZ armor now?

Premium/LE bridge fix video. Do this before you break your plastic.

#9445 2 years ago

Today I installed the Mezel building mod for the pro. Instructions say to snake the wire connectors up from under playfield in between two plastics on topside. If you tried to install this mod you know what I’m talking about. Just take off one of the two plastics and the step takes 30 seconds as opposed to struggling with snaking the wires. Just something to think about when installing this terrific upgrade.

I bought this from harbor freight in 2010. Guy in Tampa cut and welded swivel sockets. Then slid some pipe over it. Works great. I did have to replace the wheels recently they disintegrated.

#9448 2 years ago

Playfield protector install progressing along. I'll make a video tomorrow. Playfieldprotector.com is the source. 100 euros plus shipping.

Found this GZ figure for 20 bucks. Need to hack off his tail and screw to the plastic. Still need to do speaker upgrade and shaker motor.
