Quoted from madamyates:

So what is the fix/protection for the plastic above the magnet on a premium? Mine just broke today.

A fellow pinsider mentioned putting a few washers in the coil (the coil that powers the bridge action) between the plunger & the stop. I tried that, & it has worked flawlessly for me so far.

Quoted from gumnut01:

Did you find the entrance to the subway ramp on the right was worn? I’m finding now and then a reject from our left ramp is hitting the right of the metal 180 degree ramp. There is no rubber there.

check out post # 1580, he mentions wedging a rubber in there

Thanks to Sonic for these MRS switches! I feel like the one to the right of the scoop makes for smoother skill shots, & the one below the pop makes for a smoother transition to the flippers. I also put one on my WH20 in that notoriously bad "canyon main" switch position. They work flawlessly & are easy to install. I definitely recommend them !!

Quoted from splickety_lit:

Since I got GZ Pro back in December, the left ramp has been getting a lot of rejects that rattled around like crazy once it hit the opening. It seems like the ball guide to the left of the Magna Grab was sticking out too far from the magnet. The ball was nicking the very tip of it which would cause it to careen off and start rattling around the entrance.
I loosened the post on the ball guide closest to the magnet, pushed the guide in closer, then tightened the post back down. This reduced the gap between the magnet and ball guide. Afterwards, I noticed a significant decrease in the amount of rattling rejects to the left ramp. You still have to nail the shot for it to go up the ramp, but I haven't noticed any rattling now.
As a bonus, the ball has A LOT more "swing" when the Magna Grab snags it, which slightly increases the ability to make the Imposter award. Before this fix, the ball was barely swinging, probably because it was hitting the ball guide.
Before the fix:

After the fix:

If you're getting a lot of rattling rejects on the left ramp, hopefully this helps.

I've noticed since day one my "swing" with the Magna Grab hasn't been the smoothest. I ran home at lunch and pushed both sides in a bit.. much better! Thanks

After updating new code, the sound from the speakers during the restart always gets me! I need to start wearing ear muffs

Quoted from jackd104:

I've dug into this further, still seeing the problem (magna grab not holding the ball). I have checked switches and I cannot find any switch that may be activating incorrectly when the destruction jackpot sequence is happening. I have attached two videos of the problem. Also a video of the active switch test in case anyone can spot a switch that is active that should not be. Code version is latest, 1.03. The two magnet adjustments in settings are at the factory default values.
(magna grab)
(destruction jackpot)
(active switch test)
Thanks,
Jack

Check your skill shot switch (by the upper left flipper) & the shooter lane switch (where the ball rests before plunging). I don't think those should be activated

Quoted from johnnyutah:

Trying to instal the Stumblor Neon sign mod. I need to disconnect this scoop sign connector but it won’t budge. Any tips to get it disconnected? There is no clip on top to hook it or place to pull back.

With stubborn connectors I like to use sandpaper. I cut the sandpaper into manageable pieces and it usually works well.

Quoted from cheezywhiz:

Loving my GZ Prem so far. Very confusing game at first, but 40 plays later I managed to crack 2 bil. Now I'm struggling to get 1 bil again. It's like I know too much and my beginners luck has run out.
I'm hearing some relay clicking in the backbox when I turn on the machine. Sometimes it's 10 or so clicks.. some times it's none. I heard about 40 clicks last night when I switched it on. Everything works fine once it has settled down. Is that normal for a new Stern?

My brother picked up a NIB Elvira recently and it does the same thing. Occasionally he would also get a reset. I emailed Stern about it & they just got back to me yesterday. Here is what Stern said:

"The clicking sound you're hearing is the power supply going into overcurrent protection mode. On power up, the load on the power supply is high while the 3 large capacitors on the power distribution board begin to charge. During this charging period the power supply will shut down a few times to protect itself. This is normal for all of our games. However, it shouldn't take the game over a minute to completely boot nor should it reset during a mode. I'm suspecting there might be an issue with his CPU board that's causing his problem. Please tell him to contact his distributor for an advance replacement for the CPU #509-1003-01"

Quoted from DJShooter:

Ok, I have almost 100 games in on Godzilla Premium, bridge has never even shaken. I light up the “attack bridge” light and also light up the manga grab light… and shoot the Godzilla newton ball…nothing happens. Newton ball works (grabs ball) for annihilation bonus loop shot. Is my machine broken?

Switch 51 might need some adjusting. It's a small standup target that the captive ball hits to register that shot.
