I'm jealous as I wait for both the topper and UV kit from cointaker, with no date in sight!

#9204 2 years ago

Quick questions about some of the settings:

What do the following settings do?

Trough Eject Power - is this when the ball is automatically shot out of the trough for you, like when in multiball or after locking a ball with TK lock?

Ball Launch Power - launch from where?

Slingshot Power - what is this? I see a picture in the manual but it's hard to tell what it's from edit: nevermind i found this one

I love the speaker panel mods. Does it affect the sound quality at all?

Quoted from palacekeeper:

Anytime a ball is served into the shooter lane. The power for that. I have this at the lowest setting.

Quoted from palacekeeper:

Ball Launch Power - launch from where?

The shooter lane. The auto launch power. I have this turned down too so it serves the left orbit guide.

Quoted from palacekeeper:

Slingshot Power - what is this? I see a picture in the manual but it's hard to tell what it's from edit: nevermind i found this one

The power that the slingshots kick. The things right above the flippers. I turned this down to 13 from 16. Helps reduce some of those slingshot drains.

Nope not at all! Mezel did a great job with them. They stand off the speak grills.

This makes me want to know what your settings are, in general. “How to make your machine sing like Chuck’s”

Thanks for the info!

#9211 2 years ago

I put cliffy on the shooters lane since day one and I am debating whether it is worth it or not to do in my Stth, not because I do not want to look after the game... I am just not sure they add any real protection... Might just do mylar.

what is the general opinion.

Also got my first 500M game today, total blast.

Waiting on mine! Looks great. The hate on this has subsided cause it seems Stern offered something new/different and not too costly (granted the Whole hobby is costly). I think this is a Stranger Things win!!!

This translite is gorgeous. What version is that?
The one i got with the premium is underwhelming.

which setting controls how much power is used to eject the ball from the left eject?

I think the shooter lane protection is worthwhile. I have it on my munsters and the shooter lane has no wear at all. My st though I do not and I have some clear damage after.over 3k games and I put mylar down. Will be ordering a set for my other games. Def turn the trough power all the way down as well.

#9217 2 years ago

How bout in the settings.
Home setting
Directors cut
Factory
Add a ball
And maybe others I'm forgetting.
Which one do most prefer? And are there big differences?

I turned the trough eject power all the way down and the ball doesn’t even make it out of the trough. Had to turn it back up some.

#9219 2 years ago

Buy a roll of mylar and cut to cover up shooter lane, ball drops and major lips/ball transition areas.

Cliffys do what they are designed to. I have shooter lanes and scoops with zero wear after thousands of plays thanks to his products. Mylar is better than nothing, but not equal.

Mylar works the same or better than cliffys imo.

Left eject power.

#9223 2 years ago

did anybody here try chrome pinballs? thinking of ordering some pinballs for all my games but both of mine currently use 1 magnet each...I understand that chrome is not recommended when there are magnets but I also read that it is not an issue sometimes.

Anyway, did anybody try them?

Saw it in person today it’s a must have, I’m considering a premium with topper but UV lighting is unavailable ughh

#9225 2 years ago

I generally think toppers are a ridiculous waste of money and Toppermania 2021 has me baffled. That being said, that thing looks badass and I’m somewhat envious. Looks great guys.

Where did you order from?

#9228 2 years ago

Did you order a while ago by chance? I ordered from Flip n Out pinball the day Stern put it up for order. Are they going to twinkle out a few toppers at a time? Hopefully I get some notification soon.

I ordered mine from Flip n out minutes after it was available. Zach has said that mine has shipped, but I don't have tracking info.

#9232 2 years ago

I ordered from LSOG the day it was released and mine is out for delivery today. Not sure how many they received though.

I was looking at these yesterday, wondering if they stay in place properly or if they bounce a lot/wiggle as the ball runs on them.

#9237 2 years ago
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

It fits the lane perfectly and comes with some tape near the ball trough and I add a piece of Mylar near the end to lock it down.

It definitely wiggles. Annoyed me at first now I just ignore it.

They break eventually too. Went back to Mylar after they kept breaking on me after lots of plays.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

Good to know thanks. I think I will just use mylar.
I like cliffys but they are overly expensive for what they do and also are very small.

I alsp want to cover the rest of the lane and if I go cliffy then I have to use mylar anyway... I think that mylar alone will be more than enough. Cliffy here cost me $100+ (Canada) that is a boat load of mylar, and in my book mylar is awesome.

I have had good luck removing mylar off a previously waxed PF.

Did you guys run into any issues replacing mylar on a relatively new game?
I have heard stories of the art coming off but that sounds like somethhing that could happen to an older PF perhaps.

Anyway...

You guys just saved me some cash.

I was thinking of getting the plastic protector for the slingshots.
Did you guys try it?

I would think that if there is any game that would magnetize balls, STh LE/Premium would be it. The magnet can hold on to the locked balls for several minutes at a time. It isn't just a quick application of the magnet like on so many other games.

#9250 2 years ago

Hey Guys,
I am trying to fix a friend’s premium. His TK is not pinching but the ball does not roll over it. It is literally getting stuck at the base.

What other adjustments should I be looking for?
