just installed the Neo Tokyo mod. So damn sexy. [quoted image]

Quoted from mbwalker:

I just unboxed a GZ and noticed the Godzilla magnet doesn't appear to be working correctly (or at all). I went into the settings and did a magnet test and I *think* it's working. The test just seems to be a quick pulse, enough to tell it's energized but not long enough to hold a ball...is that a good test?
But during game play, I've never caught a ball once. The pitch is a little on the high at about 7 degrees, stock balls. Just loaded the newest code (0.98). Magnet Draw Time Slow is 250, Fast is 173 (both default), and the Godzilla magnet is enabled. Visually verified the magnet wires/connectors are OK (including at the node board).
I searched the thread and saw some others having issues but can't say I've seen anything that points me in the right direction.

Quoted from mbwalker:

I actually have some Polaris balls (ordered 55 of them not long ago). Figured I'd test drive the pin first before swapping.

Quoted from mbwalker:

Well, it should work w/the Stern balls - so they're in there for now. I figured if I emailed Stern, I didn't want to muddy the water with anything other than stock.
I got to the point of keeping track of what pin had what balls in it, and when they were replaced last - I just ordered 55 and replaced then all. Once and done. But the rural mail gal probably hates me, that box was heavy! LOL

Quoted from prentice:

Have been trying to get my shooter rod tuned up for my new Premium I just set up (first NIB). Felt pretty rough and not smooth. Had a lot of grease on the rod, going to try wiping that off a bit. But I also notice that there seems to be no plastic sleeve inside the assembly. I pulled off my new Mando premium shooter rod and can’t find one there either. Is this normal for Stern? I was expecting a plastic sleeve like on my JJP machines.
Edit: pulling rod off my DP also shows no plastic sleeve. Weird that when I look up the stern shooter assembly for purchase it mentions a sleeve.

Quoted from Bohdi:

Ok, only had my Pro about 10 days, and love it to death of course, but IMO just too much Red GI. What are you guys doing to change some of it up? Some warm whites here and there, or cool or ?

Quoted from smokinhos:

Relatively new to the family, maybe 30 games or so on our premium. Have relatives in town, and some how I posted 507m.. my best game. I was pretty stoked. Went to enter my initials for grand champion "ME" and ended up #1 high score. I was like wtf? Then I scrolled through and find grand champion is 547m by "MAE"... which is my youngest son. He snuck me when I wasn't looking. Ill get him back. Really loving our GZ.. time for some fun mods.

Quoted from bloodonthepins:

I can easily post pass from right to left on GZ, but always mess it up in the other direction. Isn't the flipper layout perfectly symmetrical if the flippers are properly aligned? Why would one way be harder than the other?

Quoted from jetmechinnc:

Officially in the club!!!! I’ve had my premium on order since January with no delivery in site per the distributor.
My friend had an LE since new, but needed to make room for his upcoming 007 LE so sold me his! Wow. What a beautiful pin. I loved the game play the first time I tried it, now that I own it, it’s never leaving!

Quoted from PinMonk:

There's enough ambient light from them without reflection that I wouldn't have them. But he could clear things up by simply publishing the light frequencies his products use. Anything from 400-455nm is harmful over time (the lower, the more damaging) and black light from 350-400nm is even worse over shorter time.

Stern uv kit. Actually UV.
Pinstadium UV+glow. Fake UV.
Pinstadium stranger things kit. Actually UV.

Quoted from robbie:

Just set-up my Godzilla pro and have a question about leveling the game.
Oddly enough I had to turn out completely the bolts from the FRONT legs to level the game as advised by Stern.
Will someone please let me know if this is normal?

Quoted from purbeast:

After about 7 weeks of contacting my distro from my late July run GZ Premium, I finally received my new lockdown bar. It took a while but at least it came and was free.
And it now matches perfectly and is the old style. You can see from the before/after pics that the texture on the lockdown bar was completely different than the side rails. It was very noticeable once I initially noticed it. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from atg1469:

Definitely not $1500, it’s about half that. And worth every penny![quoted image]

Quoted from Animal:

Got my game yesterday and the top of the building is not moving high enough to release the balls. I looked though the service menu, but couldn't find a fix. Has anyone run into this? Currently running 1.01 code.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

Just the tip.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

I recommend flip n out or tilt amusements.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

Titan pinball standard shiny balls. I only buy something else when they aren’t in stock.

Quoted from evanc:

It actually appears to have been removed from their website, weird. Maybe they're out of stock. But yes, I also replaced my lermods one with this. It is a night and day difference. The freddy's mod seems factory. You can see the mod here and there's a link to the website as well.

If you want to email them about it, their stock number for the item is GZ-SO

Quoted from BrokenChair:

I totally messed up and have to move the post into this new position oh. Oh crap

Quoted from johnnyutah:

I wonder if Stern was going for these old Godzilla neon lamps from the 80s when designing the topper. Last time I was in Maui a few back I saw one for sale in an art gallery. The concept is there.

Quoted from jdlang11:

Does anybody have a problem with the building catching/scraping on wire forms and the plastics protectors when it's going up and down. Everything seems tight underneath.
Building seems to be leaning forward a bit from when I first got it.
I have been looking for this in the forum but only can find the discussions on height adjustments not back and forth.

Quoted from Caponicus:

Sometimes the top of my building catches the left ramp for a sec as it goes down. It doesn’t make a difference and I just ignore it.

Quoted from KING-HENRY:

Try reseating your SD card, and make sure it pulls back with a solid ‘seatbelt click’. Try that and see

Quoted from chuckwurt:

That shouldn’t happen. If they are breaking at the slings use 2.5”.
But super band will never break if that’s what you want.

Quoted from themoffman:

Anyone having recurring issues with the building? mine seems to have started clipping part of the playfield on its way up (?) not quite sure what's going on but it started making a bad noise when going back up so I have the building disabled for now until I feel like looking at it. This is the second time something like this has happened in the past couple of months

Quoted from WillM:

You may need to adjust and/or tighten the building. I'm no expert at this, but I did watch a YouTube video when I upgraded my GZ Premium building with Diddy's Drake mod.
Here's a link to that video. Specific nut locationa start @ 11:54 mark. Watch the building removal & replacement to get a better understanding of the align and securement of the building.
