I'm sure more people recognize Kicker and JBL than Pinwoofer. Not saying your product isn't good and you could argue better but sorry your name recognition is not even close.

Glad it helped! I’m not an audiophile and I definitely noticed a difference. For $75 it is totally worth giving it a shot! Good luck, feel free to shoot me any Qs!

I also tried adding an amp into one machine, and it also helps further, but honestly not worth it for me to do on all machines; the $80-$120 speakers upgrade is a huge lift on its own. Also the amp requires more cable-running, and at that point the Pinwoofer kit becomes a lot more worth it for me. Either way you’ll be happy with the results, PW definitely wins for ease and would be a great choice too.

I’ve got a pin set up on each of the three columns, and all hooked into the same external subwoofer. I’m using pinwoofers sub mixer for that.

I've tried kicker, pinball life , Kenwood speakers, nothing comes remotely close to pinwoofers kits.

I'm not talking about quality since I'm not using them but if I tell my friends I have a pinwoofer kit they would stare blankly at me but when I tell them I have Kicker and JBL they're like DAMN!!!!

I watched some of the DeadFlip stream of the Godzilla 1.0 last night, popped up in my YouTube recs.

I haven't touched a new game since Keith's Jurassic Park, just out of the new pinball loop since the pandemic really.

I'm afraid to play Godzilla, because I might want one if I do.

Be afraid, be very afraid

No " might" after you play.

Best flippin’ pin I’ve ever played!

What’s the adjustment for the building down vibration? That’s not normal right?

Would anyone out there like they’re spinners to spin like Del’s car did trying to get Neal home when you hit select to battle EBIRAH? Then go with this ! Shake well , spray real quick like on a napkin , gather with a Q tip , and slightly rub on all 6 bearings .It’s a dry gel that doesn’t splash ,does it’s job , and lasts It puts the R in Rip !

Not sure there’s an easy fix. Stern support sent me a replacement for my building that had this issue. Installation was straightforward and the new building is working well, no more vibrations.

Oh that kinda sucks. Did you contact your distributor or Stern directly?

I've owned quite a few great games over the years. The only reason I don't say GZ is right at the top of the list with the greatest is time. I've only owned it for 6 months. And that seems too short to crown it. However I can say that after 6 months, the game still feels new to me. It has that special something that makes me love a game, multiple ways to approach it. It has objectives that are easy, and others that are difficult. And when you get on a roll, the game is just wonderful. This game really is the whole package. The layout is fantastic, and the code is ... amazing. There are a couple minor things I'd want tweaked*, but it seems like they keep addressing them in the updates.

I had completely stopped buying NIB games. But then I played GZ, and I had to get one after that. The game is that much better than everything else out there. I realize others will disagree with me. No single game is for everyone. But for me, this game is an absolute home run. Just ignore the hype (including mine) and play it. If the game sings to you, it is worth it.

* = The one thing I would tweak is the final shot of some things. At times there is so much going on to keep track of, that I don't know where to shoot. 3 different colors flashing in an insert, while a different shot is the right one is tough to see sometimes. But I'm learning them. The screen tells you, but it helps to have someone else reading it in some cases. But really, that is such a tiny nitpick in such a great game. All it tells me is that I need to still learn the game better, and play better.

If I really want something then it's "one in, one out". When I sell my Shadow I've left the hobby. So it's just a matter of being willing to give up Tron or Metallica at this point, and liking something enough to make that happen.

Not impossible, see how the cards play out. I always prefer trying to get the Premium versions of games though, and man, that price tag is steep now. What's the MSRP now? It's over $9k right?

I guess with the market now a pimped out Tron or a Metallica LE can get me there, but yeesh.

Man, that sucks. Mine does this, obviously from my videos. Oddly, when the game ends and balls are on the roof it lowers and raises smoothly 100% of the time. I don't understand why it rattles sometimes in game and is smooth during reset. I'd like to know if this is through Stern or the Distro too. I need to decide what to do.

Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat. I experienced this as well, on the 26th game played.

I just added a shaker motor in the past few days, so now this is somewhat hard to detect, although it seems that the shaker is aggravating the building shake. I think I'm going to get in touch with Stern, just to be sure.

Lets us know what they say. Also speaking of shaker motors. I can see the t nuts under the cabinet for a shaker. But from the inside of the cabinet they didn’t come through or even mark where they are. Anyone else have this issue?

Tighten the nuts on the bottom of the building. Fixed it for me. They are inside the building - it's not super obvious which ones need to be tightened. Mine was making a pretty bad noise but it didn't do it 100% of the time.

Aurich:
You can get 9k for your Tron and get a premium Godzilla. Trust me. You’ll be happy you did.

Happy to help ya get rid of your met le

I notice about an 1/8 of an inch play back and forth on the building. So I think I just need to figure out which screws to tighten. Because when the building is rattled when going down. If I straighten it out the rattling stops.

I contacted both Stern and my distributor, and this was covered under warranty. (Reported within a week of purchase)

The motor on the replacement building is in a different location vs the original. (Note the vertical orientation on the new vs the diagonal on the original). I wonder if those of you having this vibration issue have a building like originally installed on mine.

Never sell a game you still love to play. Even for GZ.

I have the replacement

It’s the angle at which the building is in when the playfield is down. I did the test 10 times with the playfield up and it would not rattle. Put the playfield down to normal position and it rattles. Once I touch the building it stops. So just need to figure out if there’s an adjustment. The only thing I’m concerned about if there is after pitch adjustment that the ball may hit the building when going in. Not much room there from the playfield and the build to adjust before the ball will hit.

Are you sure it didn't come all the way through? Sometimes the piece of wood covering the hole not punched out all the way. Take a thin screwdriver and from underneath the cabinet tap lightly through t not hole. Most likely the little wood circle just didn't pop out when they drilled it, I've had this problem before. A light tap pushes out the little piece of wood.

Yep you’re correct just the thinnest wood pushed through! Thanks

I noticed that balls coming into the building from the ramps were not smoothly transitioning from ramp to building to ramp. There were places were the ball seemed to "skip" when going from one to the other. I also noticed that the building was slightly clunky on the way down. This had just started about a couple weeks ago. I finally got a chance to look at it this weekend and found one very loose nut under the playfield that, when tightened, corrected the ball skip I was seeing but the building was still clunky when lowering and raising. I believe by tightening that bolt, it changed the position of the building a bit. Perhaps somewhat related to that, the rear right ramp was interfering with the building movement. I had to reposition that ramp away from the building just slightly, which addressed the clunk, too. All seems to be moving smoothly and freely now. I don't know if this will help address any issue(s) anyone else is having but thought I would share some easy fixes that worked for me.

I don't really play *any* of them honestly, pinball just not a big part of my life right now. And maybe a new game is what i need to spark that.

Thing is when I started selling off the 11 it got harder and harder to let them go. Last one to leave was TNA and I regret it, but at the time of the 4 it just made the most sense. Mostly because I wanted Tron and Metallica for unfinished mod ideas. I miss it now.

I dunno, maybe when this Tron topper run is done I'll feel like I could let Tron go, we'll see.

I'm only interested in sk8ball games right now if I'm adding something though.

The Godzilla craze is real! I just smile walking by mine. Fast and furious, unique shots and buttery smooth.

Stop.

You Kool-Aid drinkers are not helping any!

Hadn’t added a pin new or old in like 8 or 9 years. Played a nice Godzilla at a bowling alley and a few months later a new premium was sitting in my basement. Beware

Jack Newbie question. I've had my GZ pro a few months now, my first NIB. I've added a shaker motor and art blades but nothing else. Is there anything basic I should add to protect the machine in the long run? (those plastic leg guards? shooter lane protector? (what is that anyway?)) This game seems bulletproof and is just going to see light home use, but i do want to keep it cherry! Thanks (and feel free to point me to another post/thread where this is covered).

This. When GZ was released I wasn't wowed at all. Especially didn't like the theme. Boy was I wrong. Absolutely next level game. The geometry is unbelievably good. The code is amazing. Love my Premium!

So long as you clean the machine down regularly and replace the balls occasionally then there isn’t too much to do.

If you are worried about the playfield showing tiny golf-ball dimple impressions then you can opt for a playfield protector. The vast majority don’t bother with this and just enjoy the game knowing they will last a very long time if you take care of the basics.

The shooter lane is where the ball is plunged from. You can protect it from chipping and dirt with a plastic protector or Mylar which are both very easy to do. While you are at it, turn down your ball trough eject power to around 170.

It’s taken me a year to beat 7 consecutive loops (a Pro on location on 2021 and a Prem at home since October 2022) but I finally did it tonight!

It might not do a lot for scoring or progression but man I’m happy about this one.

Turn down the trough eject power as low as you can and it can still kick the ball out. Put Mylar down right where the back comes out into the shooter lane.

Clean the game when you see ball dirt trails.

Replace the balls when they start to look dull.

Enjoy!

I went crazy when I hit four in a row. I can imagine what 10 did to you.

This is the other solution for your issue and this one worked for me. I had the same problem.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/stern-godzilla-official-owners-club/page/316#post-7199283

I see I was late in my response to this today and you got it fixed. The washer solution for me has been going strong for weeks.

https://mezelmods.com/products/pinball-shooter-lane-protector
I put these on all our pins first day

The habitrail that feeds my right inlane has a “jump” to it - the ball bounces off the bottom before dropping into the inlane. I’ve put some light pressure trying to bend it into submission but haven’t been able to fix it.

Before I really start yoinking this thing does anyone have any tips or has experienced this before? My left habitrail is like butter compared to the right…

I prefer cliffy protector . Note: it will last the lifetime of your machine!

Both are fine, just a suggestion

Another code drop? wth. Did something break last code?

Heat ray was causing crashes.

I had this exact issue, thought it was a one-time issue or something up with my game. Glad they fixed it. Game would lock up and all lights would go out. Only way to fix it was to turn the game off.

Yup, quick fix.

V1.03.0 - November 29th, 2022
=============================
- Heat Ray - fixed an issue where the game would crash occasionally when using the Heat Ray to complete shots for the following modes:
- Godzilla vs. Gigan
- Tesla Strike
- Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan vs. King Ghidorah

Auto update isn't working for me. I see it finds 1.03 and looks like it's about to start the download and shows 0% downloaded but it quickly goes away and says it's up to date with 1.02.
