I feel like the shaker code is integral to the Godzilla experience. It is awesome.

You nailed it. Played a few games today and the ball was coming on the wireform to the right flipper and couldn't drop into the in-lane because the wireform had shifted to the left a hair because of the loosened bolt.

Do you know the size of the additional washer I need off hand?

I had this problem as well after a while. I tried numerous adjustments. Finally ended up removing the wireform and bending it slightly at the existing bend where is crosses over the other ramp. No more issues.

Very well integrated. With a shaker and a good subwoofer, oh boy!

I find with this game more than any other game, it's more of an "experience". The light shows, music, sound, and layout all come together to be some of the most "fun" I've had with a game. A shaker and sub further elevate this.

I have PBL shakers in 2 spike and 2 SAM games and they work great. Godzilla is the best use of shaker of all the games I have.

I was under the impression that the Pinball Life ones are authorized.

Agreed on all points, couldn't agree more in fact. Not many games that can match the Godzilla overall experience.

Has anyone gotten one of the AIQ shooter rods on Godzilla? Does it light up?

Ok, I bought one and I can't get it to light up. If others can confirm that they have it working (and any troubleshooting tips), I would appreciate it!

I absolutely agree. I have shakers in all my pins and this has got to be the best and most natural integration I have ever experienced. It's sync'd to his stomping and roaring perfectly.

Just one of the many things that make this such a blast to play.

I have the Tesla tower mod, and just broke one of the towers. Since I bought my pin already modded, I don’t know if I need to buy one tower or a whole new set of three. Anyone?

Thanks.

Has anyone had a ball get stuck here? Couldn't shake it loose. Only solution was to remove the glass.

A location I had played at a few months ago had 3 balls stuck there behind Mecha Godzilla.
I have yet to run into that on two other machines on location that I play regularly, as well as my personal machine.

It's a thin 3d printed thing inside a pinball machine...it's probably going to break again.. just super glue it....

Otherwise, contact the seller to see. Last I checked he was 4 weeks out though.

On mine it was getting up here on auto plunge. Solution was to lower auto plunge power. Do you know how yours is getting up there?

I second this. The towers are amazing looking, but they are pretty thin - super glue is the recommended adhesive for 3D prints (PLA material) anyway. Put down a towel, Use a *small* amount of glue on both surfaces (I mean a really little amount), hold for 30 seconds, done.

There are version 2 Towers available from the Mod Maker. I am sure if you contact them, they may be able to sell a single replacement.

I would reglue as many times as possible. I bought a new slightly beefier set to keep as back up. The mod looks so nice I want to keep it there.

It's not plug and play on GZ since GZ isn't coded for it. I ran the black ground wire to the regular place the instructions say. For the other 4 RGB wires cut them from the molex connector and soldered them into the pop bumper board. Another user took pics and is a key post in this thread. Post 8036

Stern's Factory Shaker motor comes with the Ferrite and fixes for supply shortage node boards missing caps.
Typically nothing wrong with the Aftermarket shakers though but proceed with caution as per any aftermarket
warranty you may have.

I want to share something that a local maker created for Godzilla. It is laser etched aluminum and the color comes from the depth of the etching. $30. I have his wooden cards in my #the_walking_dead too.

I have a NIB GZLE and a NIB Premium just received. Were there any significant changes in playfield upgrades since 1st release of LE's?

Not tech savvy and trying to figure out which one to keep. Got both as I was sending My LE to 2nd home but now ordered something different for 2nd home.

They are the same game. There might be a different magnet plastic on one of them.

From a gameplay perspective, they will be the same. If you are looking to sell one, you'll get a lot more for the LE.

I get the impression money’s is not the issue !

We could all use a duplicate pin for our second or third house

This is probably more common than you think. I bought a premium from day one and bought a pro for a family vacation house. Worse case scenario, I move on from the pro, not really that crazy of a purchase. As of today I consider it the best pin made so far

Best stern to date!

I agree - I think that Stern Godzilla is the best pin ever made. Keith Elwyn FTW!

Not a money thing. Know there were ball hangups on LE's as well as STDM from the building. Was wondering if Stern fixed some of the issues on the Newer Premiums?

ball hangups were universal, not LE specific (and were largely one-offs), and the SDTM was mostly a level issue

Thanks!

Also, outside the leveling of the game, the plastics on top of the roof had some give when tightening...from what I understood. So even if the game is leveled and getting STDM, you should be able to loosen the screws, hold it off to the side slightly and re-tighten. At least thats from what I remember reading from several posts

Not available anymore. Superglue is your friend right now. I had to use it.

Sorokyl, when my ball got stuck there, the ball action was really fast, and I think that I hit an airborne ball off the left flipper that flew over MG's left arm and got stuck at the underside of MG's left elbow. This only happened after I turned the power up on both flippers, the slingshots, and the saucer, but the power level on all is still below max. The game action sure speeded up after the power increases. I try not to use auto plunge, so I have a chance to score a skill shot, but you can't avoid auto plunges sometimes.

18 hours until tomorrow’s GZ tutorial on the chromecandy twitch! A few of you may have caught our stream a couple of hours ago. Check out his VOD for massive GZ mb, almost 500 mil King Ghidorah, and a decent explanation of the annihilation bonus. The goal of the stream is to make a billion points reachable for most skill levels. I may start a bit earlier than 10:00 AM eastern, but I’ll recap any strategies and explanations throughout the stream.

If you are speaking of the ones sold by tdiddy, I ordered a set of 3 from him about a month ago. I'd recommend shooting him a PM, I'm sure you could work something out.

I did too, just received a week or two ago so the wait wasn’t too bad.

Not at all, the mod is just fantastic as well. Looking forward to installing mine.

Love that the new code shoots all balls onto the magnet now on the Pro for Godzilla Multiball. Excellent update.

83 minutes holy crap. Mine started at about 20 and is moving quickly. I'm happy with my speed. When I went to .96 it took barely a half hour.
