Quoted from pluto:

I'm sure it isn't just me so this is mostly just to commiserate together but my GZ Premium outlanes are the hungriest things I've ever seen. I picked up JP and DP after my GZ and I find myself playing them more because I feel like I don't have as many frustrating drains in them due to that damn pop bumper just blazing the ball to the outlanes. Love the code and updates that have come but man do the drains frustrate me more than other pins.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Do not use WD40, it will just make it worse. WD40 is not a lubricant. The product you want to use in this situation is called “PB Blaster” but it’s probably too potent to use in such close quarters.

Quoted from Jimmyhonda:

Well a small amount of WD40 worked for me in the same exact situation. It loosened the screw right up. To each is own I guess. Good luck.

Quoted from reynolds531:

Can anyone recommend a distributor for a Godzilla premium? I fully understand that there is a large wait list for this machine and I have no problems with the wait. That said, I have contacted at least six distributors and only one has had the courtesy of giving me a reply.

Steve from Pinball Refinery did my Godzilla Premium in a green with a silver flake. The pictures don’t do it justice. When you walk by the machine it sparkles. Lol. Steve does amazing work![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from chuckwurt:

Try Zach at Flip n out or Trent at tilt amusements.

Quoted from ianwho:

So much for being beyond excited for my machine. I’m usually so good at diagnosing what’s wrong.I can’t figure it out. Usually someone has had the same issue and I can read and figure it out from there. Not this time I guess.

Quoted from atg1469:

It’s Troy at Tilt Amusement. I bought my game from him so can vouch that he’s a stand up guy and will take good care of you if he can. I’ve bought a game from Zach too and know the same goes for him as well.

Quoted from Av8:

I do too. Extra Balls are nearly impossible to get so If I'm not set up for a good game by ball 3, reset.

Quoted from ianwho:

taken videos and sent it to stern.

Quoted from Insanity199:

Extra balls aren't really that hard to get if you focus on them. The following can be reasonably easy:
3 Saucers destroyed
10 Jet fighters destroyed
2 Kaiju battles won
Some of my best games were with a lousy first ball.

Quoted from Yarmuck:

I'm just bouncing in to see how alone I am in preferring the Pro over the Premium? Are there others out there like me who like the Pro better too?

Quoted from Muymanwell:

i've bought 2 nib from https://www.classicgamerooms.com/ with great results. i'll always go to them first

Quoted from Muymanwell:

there's been plenty of folks who feel that way, but it's certainly not the majority.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Is an EB awarded if you destroy 10 Jet fighters? I guess I haven't done that

Quoted from Yarmuck:

Descubrí que me gustaban los tiros más cerrados del Pro y que la pelota fluía a través del edificio estable del Pro más suave.
Además, la reducción del edificio simplemente no lo hizo por mí. Lo único que me hizo cosquillas un poco fue el mecha godzilla mech.
Pero me he dado cuenta de que últimamente me gustan más los pines de disparos que los pines de gadgets. Así que yay para mi billetera, supongo. Lol.

Quoted from LeMansFan:

Question for those of you who have had the game for a while. Yeah, I have it listed in my collection, it's paid for, but waiting on the distributor to send it.
Prior to Deadpool I'd never noticed flipper fade on any of my games or felt the need for the PinMonk fans. I heard that the magna grab was an issue for a while, that it was generating lots of heat and wasn't performing as expected after some play time. I think I'd read that they addressed this issue in code. So... is the magna grab heating issue still a concern? Are people experiencing flipper fade? Do I need to order flipper fans and a magnet fan? I just wish they weren't so darn expensive...

Quoted from LeMansFan:

Thanks so much for the responses. Can't wait to get this game! I paid in full with the distributor two weeks ago, who knows when the game will ship? Next week or two hopefully.

Quoted from Returner:

Maybe this?

Quoted from Tarheel4985:

Have you tried making any adjustments to the building from the underside where it’s mounted to the playfield? I just installed my replacement building (warranty claim from the rubbers falling out) and at first I was experiencing the same issue you described. But it just took a few changes to the four mounting screws to get it into the position where it would clear the bridge going up and down.

Quoted from Muymanwell:

100% varies, distributor-to-distributor. they are the only ones who could even give you close eta.

Quoted from ianwho:

Should I unmount it and make new holes? I feel the adjustment would be so small, that the holes would combine to make a large hole instead.

Quoted from Tarheel4985:

No, I didn’t need to adjust the existing holes. There was enough play to be able to adjust the building by tightening one side (left 2 screws or right 2 screws) more than the other. Just a little guess and check and it gave me plenty of clearance on all sides for the building to move seamlessly.

Quoted from Beyndtstng:

If you think GZ bad, then you should avoid AIQ.

New pin day! Godzilla in the house. First one was damaged in shipping and had to send back last month. This one arrived in perfect shape!
Big shout out to Kurt and Mark at Hempisphere's for making it go smoothly after the first refusal last month
Stern did great getting it back to me! Brand spanking new.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from awesome1:

After running into severe flipper fade on AIQ (I often play several hour long sessions and my longest single game of pinball ever of 90 minutes, was on AIQ) - flipper coil fans totally eliminated the fade.
I put DIY cooling fans on all my Sterns now and that was one of the first things I did to my Godzilla, I also added one to the magnet just in case...

Quoted from ultimategameroom:

Did they repair your damaged machine or ship a new one?
How bad was the damage or was the box F’d up enough that you refused it and didn’t get a chance to see what was actually wrong?
I always wondered what they did to resolve shipping damage claims.

Quoted from LeMansFan:

Great thing about Elwin games is that the pro is always perfectly adequate. In this case I went premium, but I have a JP Pro, and wouldn’t mind an AIQ Pro. I know I’m in the minority on this one, but Maiden can burn in any iteration for all I care. (Still salty about playing one last weekend in a tournament with outlane posts removed and tilt set tighter than you know what).
