I got mine ready, and I use the pinnovators sub line mod. Gets a lot cleaner sound than the old alligator clips, and super easy to install/uninstall.

You should try one some time, it's relatively inexpensive at $35 and it literally takes 60 seconds to install. I thought the same, there wouldn't be any difference, but there was a very noticeable difference in the quality of sound. I originally tried it on IMDN and it was drastic.

You guys should be on commission. Just ordered this as well as the sub. Hearing is believing, and the sub is perfect for this game.

Oh I know, you get used to it and the sound feels empty when it's not there LOL

Mine was kind of an issue till I dialed my flipper strength back. What a wonky mech for the ball to fly up. I thought mine was broken it’s just like a rod

I was using alligator clips and I thought the same thing until I put one on my game. It does sound a lot better, hard to explain, but it sounds clearer and deeper. Now all my games have their sob hook up.

Nice stream!

Hm id Actuate it in test mode and roll a ball through there by hand. It does look like the stalls the ball instead of acting like a ramp

On coil test there should be a change to cycle repeat

I saw part of your stream, nice job man!

The ramp issue does suck though, and it appears its a design flaw that was overlooked by Stern, which is unfortunate given it's only 1 of 2 unique upgrades/features of the LE and Premiums.

This exact issue was occuring on the Premium that Dead Flip streamed. They played it off as it was normal though. I hope there's a fix, but that's unacceptable if Stern left the design like this without resolving it prior to shipping.

My LE isn’t having issues with the lock currently so hopefully and unfortunately just a QC issue

Interesting, does the ramp work every time with no rejects?

Anyone have any word on a premium timeframe? I’ll be on vacation next week and want to make sure I get the check to my distributor beforehand if it’s sooner rather than later.

Only when you don’t give the ball enough energy to make it up the diverted ramp. If it hops over it he post comes up and still shows a ball lock

Curious on this because the shot is easy to backhand on the pro. With a functional mech can the shot be backhanded ?

The ramp can still be backhanded, the lock cannot reliablely. I have but few and far between. If someone else has a lock there since it’s a physical lock when playing multiplayer you can back hand if there is already balls locked if that makes sense

It very much does thank you.

LE is arriving tomorrow

You won’t be disappointed. I have it sitting btw a JP2LE and a JJPOTCCE and it’s holding its own. It plays smooth and fast, after its adjusted, like every nib requires. I really enjoy the right side “burn it back” loop!

I haven’t had any issues with the ball lock and ramp. It does take a clean shot to work, though. There are no dribble in give me’s. I bet it is a programming timing issue. If the .83 code were up on sterns site, I would try reloading it.

Regardless, I bet it gets addressed in future updates to accommodate for the slight variations in game to game set ups.

At 2:40 into the game the ball locks in the left ramp with no ball going up the ramp
At 3:53 (not entirely related) the ball jumps the mystery target over the wall and into the left orbit. Not sure if that is intentional but it's been happening a lot to me

I’ve been having the same 2 problems.. you hear anything back from Stern?!

Speaking of mystery shot, I wonder what the video mode will be?

STh's Pro has been in our lineup for ten days now & we are having a ball w/ it. Though the early code is incomplete there is still much to do, as this title will definitely improve w/ code updates.

With the exception of the pop orbit/mystery lane this playfield layout has constant flow potential if you hit your shots. Great flow w/ a fair possibility of hitting the 5 way combo shot within each game.

The challenging rule-set is very deep even w/ consideration to the early code. The modes are random which always mixes up what will be playable from game to game. The mode progression is an exciting build up to Total Isolation/etc.

The LCD display is absolutely an upgrade w/ consideration to any of the Spike 2 previous titles. The graphics are crisp w/ clarity, just as you would except w/ HD resolution.

The art serves it's purpose to let one know that you are playing STh's. The color combinations are especially dark, though this was purposely done considering the sci-fi/horror theme.

The sound/theme music is phenomenal! The sound expressions changes dramatically from demogorgon, upside down to the various modes. This articulates into a mostly dramatic/eerie mood demeanor which defines the game. The spinner sound effects that have that "dripping of water in a cold dreary cave effect" is simply awesome.

Overall, this is a very fun title that will only improve w/ code update. We are very please w/ our purchase & will have STh's in our lineup for the long term future. Besides, the cat & my wife made it very clear that this machine isn't going anywhere so it's here to stay. No arguments from me!

I have not heard back yet. I also updated them that I was able to recreate the mystery shot qualifying the demogorgon drop target completion/start mode. I am still waiting to hear back. Sounds like this could all be a code issue tho so keeping my fingers crossed it's a bug and not a hardware issue.

My game is now 6.5 at the flippers and 6.6 at the drop targets. Some kind of spin is causing the wall jump. Happens quite often for me and I have my flippers dialed back to 220 I believe. Could only imagine how much it would happen at default flipper power. There are a lot of poorly secured plastics on this machine. That plastic is one of them and I agree with another poster earlier that it will be prone to breaking if the jumping is as common as it is on mine.

Curious where everyone ended up setting their outlane posts? Tightest setting seems too easy, and the highest setting is a little rough but not too bad. That's where mine are now, but contemplating putting them right in the middle spot. Anyone mess with this?

Happy Monday!!

Another 40-50 games on my LE yesterday. I can honestly say that this game is right in line with my current favorite (BM66) in my lineup. The .83 code is enough to keep me entertained and interested.. the sounds and music are killer as well. It could use more video content, more call outs and a better res projector, but i'm sure someone will find a replacement projector soon enough. I wished the menu options provided more control of the projector but it is limited to your basic X/Y controls.

Zero Demigorgon issues, no more stuck balls, and the left ramp magnet diverter only drops the ball about 1 out of 10 times... and thats usually because I didn't hit it up the ramp hard enough. I think part of the fun with NIB games is tweaking them to your liking.. Some games more than others (I get the frustration).... We aren't recalibrating our brakes when we buy a brand new car.... But overall for this being my first NIB LE.. I am VERY pleased and I think everyone needs to relax. Buying this LE has made me want to order a TMNT LE

Happy flipping!

Cool, thank you.

Just printed my own mod, an Arcade sign. Came out pretty ok I think. Not really sure where to put it but tried the left ramp and it looks ok there. I thought about adding lights to it but not sure I want to bother with that.

I like the position looks great

Picked up my Pro today. I haven't been able to get my kids away from it in order to test it all out. I can tell that I'll need to adjust the demogorgon. I did back down The flipper power as suggested.

My family plays a lot of pinball and this is their pin!

So, Kenwood KFC-1366 in the backbox and Goldwood GW-208/4 in the cabinet for the LE version.

Congrats on your LE. How does it relate to the PRO version?

Best quote in this thread. How did you do it??

We tricked our kids into liking pinball with games like WOZ that have good visual effects and now they play just about anything.
You gotta train em young.
