Quoted from NovaCade:

Anyone else’s glass ridiculously tight? Tightest of all my tables by far. Makes me a little nervous every time I have to take it off.

Quoted from Pugster:

I figure it’s less likely now going forward if they’re on the lookout for a problem.

Quoted from PapaBless:

Congrats on your game! I am playing the crap out of mine this past week.
Just to note your issues have nothing to do with Stern. The entire machine is ran though before shipping to ensure it works before it goes in the box. Judging by the damage to the box I think your machine got dropped or something high impact that both damaged your lockbar and also knocked that flipper switch out of place.

Quoted from blueberryjohnson:

I've decided to stop futzing with my center spinner and upper flipper and just replace them to see if that takes care of the issue. Trying to determine which parts to order. Starting with the spinner.
Question: The manual has a page of different spinner assemblies, but none of them are for the top spinner (the name used for it elsewhere in the manual). Would the correct parts for the top spinner be the same as any of these?

Quoted from WizardsCastle:

Replaced optos on the left ramp, and problem solved!
New problem though... Went to adjust my right flipper, and the bolt holding the flipper in place is mega tight
There isn't much space to work, so I need a tool that gives some reach. Anyone have amy suggestions?

Quoted from mostater:

What is included in the hard coat kit? I haven't heard of that before but sounds interesting.

Quoted from ianwho:

So much for being beyond excited for my machine. I’m usually so good at diagnosing what’s wrong.I can’t figure it out. Usually someone has had the same issue and I can read and figure it out from there. Not this time I guess.

Quoted from mostater:

Looks good! What all did you have to do to get at the screws on the back side of that bridge? I've looked at how that bridge might be disassembled, but seems like there is no easy way about it.

Quoted from Thefuge:

no one who can chime in on this one?
or can post a pic of their playfield?

Quoted from jackd104:

Are these apron lights ever supposed to light and under what condition? Mine don’t seem to and couldn’t find anything about them in settings. TIA
[quoted image]

Quoted from jackd104:

Did some trouble shooting and now I am stumped. Here’s some info.
Both arch GIs as well as the light under the plastic triangle in the arch aren’t lighting (never have since I received game). See circled leds in the pic.
These three leds all lead to a molex plug under the apron. Wires are yellow-black and white-black.
They end up at Node 8, CN 15, pins 2 & 6.
Solder points on leds appear sound. Molex seems okay. Molex on node board seems ok. Reseated both molex’s.
The wires going to all three out leds appear to be getting power. Please see pics of multi-meter. My knowledge of multi meter sucks so please correct me if I am reading this incorrect. My assumption is that the meter is telling me there’s power coming through. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Tomass:

Is it confirmed that the speakers should be set to 4ohm? Mine had crackling when I set it to 4. None happens at 8 ohms though.

Quoted from arrbee:

What are the chances of Stern releasing an official fix for this?
Is it worth raising a support case with them to highlight the cause of the issue?

Quoted from ABE_FLIPS:

Not true. I have seen this on all 5 machines I have played. On some it happenes less than on others.
Even if its just a slight rattle the ball gets, it slows down the ball enough, so that you can't make the skillshot reliable.
That means, the "skill" in "skillshot gets replaced by "luck".
Anyway, I dont think Stern will do anything about this, but we have seen changes after the first release in the passt.
They could extend the metal on the right hand side down the shooter lane. This would be the best solution imo.
People didn't go too deep into this because they thought they just have to fine tune their shooter mech and sometimes the skillshot even works.
However, IMO it is a design flaw which really can be fixed with a piece of plastic.

Quoted from ABE_FLIPS:

Haha nice one! So i guess your plunger unit makes it so, that the ball never hugs the right ballguide.
Lounge
Thanks for the correction 0.07 inch is right

Quoted from fooflighter:

Hmmm, I guess mine is different from what your are showing... I don't have that little projection of the shooter ramp going over the curved ball guide must be dependent upon installation of where they screwed it down and attach the ramp itself. Must be why I never really have a problem with mine...
[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from ABE_FLIPS:

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I think you both still don't understand what causes the issue.
My ramp looks exactly like yours. My image you compared yours with, was shot from a different angle.
Here is my ramp. The ball bounces off the blue maked ballguide, EVERYONE has that. The only difference is, that on some games the ball leaves the ramp on the left hand side of the ramp, thus not bouncing off the ball guide...

Quoted from medeski7:

I wanted to follow up on my building rattle issue. I troubleshooted by tightening various screws and bolts under the playfield. Tightening the two bolts identified seems to have greatly help resolve the issue. These two bolts have soft rubber spacers under them and they have a lot of play to tighten them. I was able to tighten both of them a lot which keeps the building from leaning forward much when the building goes down.
I did notice however that the tilt was affected enough that if I run the building test with the playfield up it will catch on the ramp to the top of the building, preventing the building from moving. When the playfield is down and the game is played the building raises and lowers smoothly now most of the time. It does still occasionally rattle, but it's much less frequent. The game overall is playing great, so I'm tempted to not mess with it further and just enjoy the game. [quoted image]

Quoted from Tomass:

Wondering if someone would do me a favor. I want to order the anti sway brackets for my standups on GZ, but pinballlife's shipping is just not a feasible option for Alaska. Asking if someone would purchase (I will send you the amount prior) and send via USPS to me? I will cover all costs. This is the Part I am trying to order: https://www.pinballlife.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=BK3
Here is the shipping quote for 4 brackets, which is why I am asking. Thanks to anyone who would consider helping.
