How soon do you expect it to be delivered? I have a deposit down on one since July of last year with my local distributer, and they talk about a Feb run too.

Should see my GZ Premium next month and after reading this forum, I see there are things I need to check and get before I play it. I have Ball Baron balls ordered, need to change the speakers to 4 ohm, replace the crappy coil stops (who should I order from?), check the calibration of the building, dial down the ball trough.
Anything I’m missing?

I am expecting my Premium next week. However I have been reading about how hard it is to remove the glass. I have PDI glass ready to install, but wondered if using the suction cup method of removal might damage the glass coating. Any advice?

I’m getting my Premium at the end of the week and in the meantime, i have been playing at a machine on location. I am really struggling with trapping the ball. I never had a problem trapping on my Deadpool (which I no longer have). The games seem to be total chaos to me, since I struggle to control. Is there a difference? Perhaps I should look and see if the flippers are lined up to the dots?

I also had read that reducing the scoop power and letting it bounce to the right flipper is the way to go. That will be one of the first things I adjust.

Finally a member…

Anyone notice the misspelling of “multiball” during the machine tutorial? I would think Stern is already aware of it?

I certainly hope not!

I checked mine when I first got it before I even played it and it was tight, so I don’t believe it should spin.

I’m enjoying my Premium, but I think it could use more callouts. Getting a bit tired of the same Mechagodzilla callout when it spins around.

I used the bumper when I got my GZ premium in February, but it still ended up breaking the new style plastic. Stern sent me a new piece but I’m not going to install it until I do the washer fix. BTW, is there a certain size washer needed?

They sent the new style, which was what I had on my Feb 2023 Premium.

Getting ready to play today, and I pressed the left flipper to log into IC, and it didn’t work. Checked my network which works everywhere else. It ‘sees’ the adapter, but no connection. I went through network setup and it sees my network. I select it and put in my password and it starts to try to connect. I notice it shows signal strength of around 55, then goes to 0, then back up to 53 and back to 0. Then tells me ‘unable to join’.
Tried it numerous times with the same result. Powered down and up, removed adapter and reseated. Tried everything again. Same result.

Is it most likely that my adapter is crapping out and I need to replace it? I’m pissed as my current streak of days played will probably come to an end.

Thanks for any help.

Also, checking locally for a replacement adapter, I see others have mentioned the TP-Link WN725N adapter. Will any TP-Link adapter possibly work? I had an Insignia adapter, but it won’t work.

I did. No go.

Well, from the advice of another Pinsider, they recommended a new SD card, but that did not take care of the problem. I guess a call to Stern on Monday is in order. Very weird that when it sees my network, I see full bars, but when I try to connect, it fails.

I decided to try a new Wifi adapter. Ordered from Amazon, installed it yesterday and get the exact same issue. I think the only thing left that could be the problem is the CPU board. I have a call into Stern and we will see what happens.

I lost a screw to my bridge today (found it under the playfield), but checked the other screws and some were loose on the back side…the hard-to-get-to side. What is the best way to get to those? I have a right angle screwdriver, but one is almost impossible to get to. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I have a question about Saucer Attack. According to the rules, if you roll over the switch below the saucer, that is supposed to light saucer attack, where if you then hit the saucer, you are credited with destroying the saucer. It never lights on the plunge, but is that normal? Are there certain times where the rollover is not supposed to light Saucer Attack? I did a switch test, and it seemed to always show it working.

Thanks for any enlightenment!

Any chance Stern will add a co-op mode?

Should I use the lube that came with the machine, or is that only for the building?

What do you have your sling power set at?
