Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Maybe? Although Gamera isn’t a sea turtle. Who is Yeti?

Was Gamera in any Godzilla movies? Love to include one on the playfield but didn’t think it was ever part of the Godzilla franchise. Btw, don’t have my game yet so not sure if Gamera was included in any of the game footage. Thanks.

Quoted from solzerid:

Just put in my order for a Premium machine! I'll soon own my first pin ever! Should get it in 2 to 6 weeks and already had two sleepless nights thinking about how I'm going to rearrange the room for it and stuff.

Some people ordered in Nov. 2021 and are still waiting, you only have to wait 6 weeks?

#11553 1 year ago

Thoughts on this color powdercoating for a premium? Something different than the standard red/green. Thanks.

#11565 1 year ago
Quoted from atg1469:

Think you’re going to need to post a few more pics than that! Hard to tell what color it is with just one take.

Its the lockdown bar from my LZ and extra rail I had so just thought I see if the same color might work. I am going to test a red sample with silver sparkle as well to see how that looks. If the side decals had a bit of silver, like the LE, I think it would go great. Still undecided.

#11570 1 year ago

Planning to change out some of the multiball songs to Green Day, Foofighters and Black Sabbath. See how it sounds. Like the original game play music but some of the multiball tracks are not great.

#11572 1 year ago
Quoted from Days:

How can we change the songs? I did that for my TOTAN multiball and final battles since is the only silly music in all the game for different ones with pinsound but i dunno how to do that in the SPIKE 2.
Thanks

Is it common for ball to jump off ramp past mechgodzilla and onto ramp on left side? Adjustment required? Thanks.

#11592 1 year ago
Quoted from Fremen:

My premium should be arriving in a week or two. I was going to make an order with Pinball Life for a shaker motor, but in reading here I also remembered some recommendations on here regarding replacing a few other things.
Before I order can someone help me make sure I have this correct:
- It was recommended to replace the coil sleeves and flipper coil stops? And how many of each are there to replace?
Thank you!!

Does the shaker need a specific card for Spike 2 games? I have an old Spike 2 shaker but not sure if I need a board as well. Thanks for the help!

#11608 1 year ago
Quoted from EZ-Rhino:

Quick question -- I have been changing out all of the OEM rubbers on my new GZ Premium and replacing with Titans. I've almost got the job completed but there is one post rubber I'm not sure how to access. Anyone know the easiest / quickest way to get this post rubber off (see photo) without any minor surgery...?
[quoted image]

Just unscrew everything and remove plastic loop for the wire.

#11949 1 year ago
Quoted from vicjw66:

This is what I did. I’m going to look into the suction cup thing. I guess with the glass so tight, at least the shaker doesn’t rattle it as much.

I took off the two screws on either side, it is a bit better. No permanent fixes, just loosens over time? Thanks.

#12101 1 year ago

For those with tight glass on their games, here is an easy fix:

First remove the two bolts on the front and back side rails. Best access is to lift playfield to the most forward position. You may need to remove the bolt on the side hinge as well to access the back bolt. Then remove the two screws. Side rail will just come off (careful to make sure it doesn’t fall and scratch the side decal!).

You will see the plastic piece that holds the glass under the side rails is just stapled in place. Get a snow removal brush and work your way along the inside of the plastic to spread the opening. Do it along the entire opening, especially on the top part. Test the glass to see if sliding better.

Reassemble and your glass should slide easy now! If you ever want to get your game powder coated down the road, now you know how to remove the side rails. Very easy fix.

If you live in the south, I guess you won’t have a snow removal brush

#12134 1 year ago
Quoted from Jamesays:

the gloves probably work great in most cases but my glass requires a lift to get over the edge so I need the suction cup.

Just stretch out the plastic glass guides with something similar to this. Will get rid of the problem. Very easy to fix and avoid the possibility of broken glass one day.

Quoted from TommyMc:

One thing that a lot of people forget is to turn down your backbox brightness for game play. Really cuts down reflections.

Any idea where that is in the settings? Thanks.

#12672 1 year ago
Quoted from Bellagio:

In the club!
Game plays great, definitely one the best pins I’ve ever played.
Only issue so far is the pf glass is really tight. I loosened the rails, but that didn’t help much. It seems the plastic glass channels may need to be adjusted. Anyone else have this problem?[quoted image]

Very common issue now with the new games. If you remove the rails, it will only help a little. The plastic piece that holds the glass in place needs to be stretched out to remove the issue. See my post below.

Is there a menu option to dim the backglass brightness during play?

Standard adjustment #92. Someone suggested 10% as the setting, haven't tried it yet.

Bld. Is scaled perfectly. Doing lots of test play now! I am enjoying the exit flap on bld cool feature.

Be cool if someone could make a mod to play GZ video footage on the billboard.

You can’t really compare the cost of a NIB LE for $11k versus a Premium for $9k. Realistically the price difference is closer to $6-7k w premiums still readily available. The LE features are not worth that IMO.

#13450 1 year ago
Quoted from mbrave77:

folks who powder coat their games. Is there a certain foam insert I should order as a replacement to the one inside the lockdown bar? Anything perfect on amazon? Ive never powder coated before and just want to be ready

I use a thin weather stripping foam, maybe 1/4 inch. Works great.

This plastic really needs a facelift. Hopefully Mezel Mods comes out with something to complement the other buildings they recreated.

#14589 1 year ago
Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

Premium owners with custom powder coat armor:
What color did you choose?
I saw just one example in the photo gallery for this thread. It’s “burnt orange,” apparently, although it looks like red.
Cab art is quite a mixture of hues, so no one trim color is obvious. I actually think something in the bronze- or even chestnut family would work. Also golden rod, a shade of yellow.

I went a silver vein, trying to highlight the mechagodzilla aspects of the game. Kind of similar to the LE I guess. I prefer vein, no finger prints.

#14637 1 year ago

If anyone wants to customize the opening date on Godzilla, to a birthday or anniversary, etc., it is very easy to do with Pinball Browser.

#14660 1 year ago
Quoted from yancyq:

His first run will be 20 units and he estimates will take about 2 months to complete them all. $1450 plus shipping.

Pretty happy with the $125 option . I guess this sets the pricing bar for the eventual Stern topper.

10 Godzilla Premiums for sale on Pinside under $11k currently; good luck finding a MET Premium under $11k. Easy decision. If you decide you miss the GZ down the road, will be very easy to swap it back.

I was asked to design a Godzilla sign for someone's gameroom. It will be very similar in size to the Bond sign below (18 x 26 inches). The below signs will give you an idea of the quality. They are made from wood and hand painted. If you may have some interest in the sign, PM to get on the pre-sale list. Thanks very much.

Anybody interested in a GZ sign for their gameroom, PM me and I can put you in touch with the artist. These are hand made from wood and are approximately 18 x 26 inches. GZ is three separate layers of wood and the buildings and Japanese logo are raised off the main surface. Look amazing in person! Cheers.

If your disappointed by the new topper, you won’t be disappointed by this hand made wooden GZ sign for your game room. I guess it could be placed on top as a topper. The only complaint you will have is the wait time for you to get yours

Quoted from Sorokyl:

Yeah dude I am actually disappointed. You make big wooden Stern signs. Nice craftsmanship. Looks well made. Wrong Godzilla though. doesn't look anything like the Showa era films Godzilla the pin is based on or ZYs interpretation. But all that's fine. Hope you sell a bunch. Just stop posting about it. This is a cluttered enough thread already without you posting eight large pictures of your same sign every few weeks or however often (maybe across multiple threads, but still).
Try haivng your own "Really Cool Wooden Sign" thread where you can remind interested parties that this is available.
We're really busy in here trying to shit on this topper.

So should I put you down for the Mando sign instead
