Any update to the status of this mod and also the building you teased some weeks ago? Is there a preorder list on either?

Around 19 to 20 cm.

Messing around with sound and decided to change to random for music and orchestrated for background. Default was 8 for fade which I thought was odd. I changed it back to 0 and instead of V for equalizers I set them up towards higher end spectrum. Also changed attenuation to -9 for music. The clarity is more crisp and the sound is really loud. I tend to play in Japanese(Hory Rory) and it sounds great. May want to play with settings before reinventing the wheel and redoing sound system.

Godzilla multi ball, not sure what else off the top of my head...

Isn’t hitting the revive spinner supposed to change the next song selection for a mode is not doing it for me;

Do you just have to hit the spinner wants to change the song mode or you have to complete revive?

I think you are lost

This is a Maiden question but once your mode is lit to start at the center ramp, you cannot change the mode. Have to change it sooner.

If you squint your eyes really hard, Eddie does look a little bit like Godzilla.

Hello all. I ordered my first pin and it’s this Godzilla premium machine set to arrive mid December. Super stoked. I’m trying really hard to stop buying mods! We have the Japanese sign, shaker motor and building roof mod either ordered or it’s here waiting on the pin to be delivered. Great discussion so far!

How common are micro scratches on the godzilla part of the playfield. I know they will show up with normal wear and tear but my JP has a lot less.

900 or so plays (most very short due too kids)

(Yes I wax the playfielf and change out balls).

The quality of clear coat might vary from game to game but it’s normal and unavoidable in general. It can be more noticeable until there is more general wear and it all evens out. Sounds like you’re already doing what you can. Keep it clean and change balls when they get banged up are the main things.

I accidentally broke one of the slingshot bulb assembly wile trying to attach alligator clips. It's the type 55 bulb housing. Anyone know where I can get this or know how to go about fixing it? Thanks!

Yeah, that’s the only one I know of maybe someone else knows others?

I've been considering speaker upgrades and was curious what people recommend as being a good value. I was looking at:
* Kenwood Speaker Upgrade @ $100
* Boom Boom Cabinet Speaker Upgrade @ $45
* Pinsound Spike 2 Kit @ $170
* Pinwoofer Spike 2 Kit @ $400

I'm wondering whether folks think these upgrades are worth it for Godzilla and whether the more expensive upgrades justify their price point. My machine is in a concrete-floor basement room with subpar acoustics so I didn't want to go overboard.

Pinwoofer completely changes any game .I’m going to be getting it on all my keepers now .I feel it’s a great price for what you get .High quality sound does wonders for the atmosphere of the game .I also have the Kenwood/Boom boom in 2 pins and they are ok ,just nowhere near what you get with pinwoofer .Never tried Pinsound .

I put pinwoofers in games I know I'll sell , just because of the difference it makes. And yes, GZ shines with pw installed.

I always buy Pinwoofers kit as well.

Pinwoofer will transform your sound.
Boom Boom is just a reliable cab woofer, it’s better than stock, but won’t be super noticeable.
One option I like that you didn’t mention is a stand-alone powered subwoofer, like a 100w Polk Audio. These do add low-end bass. I have 3 or 4 of them and it’s a reasonable option for adding some rumble to your game. They were a great bargain at $100 for a few years pre-Covid. Then they went to $150 and now it’s tricky to find them under $200. Still worth considering. Not as refined a sound as a complete Pinwoofer kit, but a nice bass booster if your other speakers are working. You need some decent high and mid-range speakers to pair with this bass box. One nice perk is these are 2-way, so you can plop one between 2 pins and attach both pins to one sub.
Another speaker upgrade short of Pinwoofer is Flipper Fidelity. A nice middle of the spectrum sound system. I upgraded my Fish Tales to FF and it’s a quality sound. $150 or so for 3-speaker set. A really nice upgrade.
Pinsound has quality products, but I can’t say I know much about their speakers. I’m guessing they are nice. Their alternate sound boards are excellent. They really transform the playing experience on some pins, like LOTR and BSD.

Pinwoofer is incredible and will unlock sound detail that you just don’t get otherwise. I have tried Kenwood and Pinsound, they are OK, but nowhere close to Pinwoofer.

Only downside is that once you get Pinwoofer on one game, you will want it on them all…and obviously not cheap.

Good luck!

I just put it in Pin sounds in my Godzilla and I think they’re really good

I have a Godzilla Premium coming in a few weeks. While watching a Twitch stream last night, the streamer (Flipstream), mentioned that the game comes with some material (lubricant?) you need to apply to the building which helps its movement and reduces noise. First I had heard of that. Can anyone confirm?

Right there with you pal! Waiting for my premium, also in December. I’ve got boxes and boxes of mods just waiting to go!

Also, I wanted to do anodized hardware, but hard to find stock in the US. You can get delivery from EU via 3rd party shipping companies, but it drives price up too much. You can order aluminum hardware locally, but the sems screws are impossible to find - I found one place that will make them but they’re slotted instead of philips driver style. Also you lose the magnetic properties with aluminum and I’m always dropping screws. And no cheap or easy way to anodize metal, stainless, or zinc plated. Only one company has seemed to have found a way to do this for colors like red or blue. And it’s expensive.

So, I’m experimenting with some metallic anodizing paint. Painted a few washers and screws - they look incredible. Going to let paint cure then acre them in and out a bunch of times to evaluate paint resiliencey for chipping/scratches- I’m using wood screws to test so tougher than what you deal with in a pinball. I also have a set I painted and will put a hard clear coat on to see if that holds up better. Hopefully they are reasonable as then I can keep the metallic/magnetic properties but still get the shiny custom hardware look. If anyone is interested I can post results.

Also note Medel Mods should get another batch of anodized hardware (they are currently out of many colors) in stock in December.

I don’t know about others in your list, but I did a set of pinwoofers for my JJP GNR and they were a huge upgrade on sound!

Yes, a small vial to lube the building. But I bought new on release and have not seen the need to do so far. Over 1000 plays. But that might not be true for every game

It comes with the game in case it's ever needed. But it's not something you need to put on right away and there's a decent chance you won't ever need it, or at least won't need it for a long time.

Mid if I share this in the black friday thread for this year?

Congrats! I would hold off on the roof mod if I were you. I was all set for this based upon the premium that I played on location, but the premium that I just received didn't end up needing it

Agreed. I almost bought one and waited until I got my premium, and never needed it.

Shoot me your email and I'll send you the files ready to print. Others have as well. Glad to share!

Great idea to change out the rubbers.
I do this day 1 on all my pins.
The black rubbers (o-rings, posts, slings, and flippers) break down and makes the playfield dirty so I can them for that reason as well as aesthetics. I change out all the rubbers to complement the art on the playfield. Both are personal preference. Some rubbers are silicon which play like rubber but breakdown fast. Superbands are very durable but some say they are too bouncy. I use Superbands for all posts as I noticed silicon posts break down fast on the side that hits the silver ball. Replacing rubbers is super easy. Glad to help if you get stuck. Check out Marco Specialties and PinLife for rubber parts.

Did some modding today, been holding onto all of the mods below for almost 2 yrs. Decided to install them over the last 2 days.

I did break the front tab of my neagele building while lowering the playfield. The felt on the side of the building caught onto the edge of my art blade and broke it but some glue should fix it so no problems.

Everything really makes the game stick out. Now all I need is upgraded speakers and a sub to call it a day.

Same here.

Turned on GZ last night to play a few quick games while the wife was studying. Wound up with a new Grand Champ!

I'm currently getting the new code. For a second I though my machine had blown as there was a loud pop and a black screen here in my office! A few minutes later the screen came back and is downloading a code update!

Downloading now. Not explicit bug fix notes in the update. Will be interested if this line addresses any of the known bugs.

So pretty much a nothing ?

Waste of time to download

Well at least free play mode is moved to the beginning of the menu now. That's not really worth downloading IMO but it makes it easier for operators.

The GZ topper is the code winner today .

My bad ,read too far that was from June .

I was going to say,WHAT

What’s the word on the best non-reflective glass? Slightly non Godzilla topic but it does impact my Godzilla machine more than my others

I'm quite happy with the VooDoo Glass I put on mine. I have Invisiglass in an AFM and it's good too. A little different tint to the AR coating, but both seem to work well. Same story with the Stern AR glass.
