My STh pro is ready to pickup, but don’t have the room until Renos finished. Credit to AMD in Australia for including the uv kit free of charge. Comes with the insider connected too. Should be fun…. When I get it in 3 months…. Sigh. Will post pics when I get it.

Got the shooter, blades, shaker, hd, mezel mods lit targets, dice, the two cars and the dig dug. Now I can get the topper. Should I do it? Looks cool!

So what’s the consensus, topper good??

That’s what I want to hear!!! Thanks, since I have the shooter, uv kit, blades and all the other stuff nice to add the icing. Just missing projector. Going to speaker light this baby with light blue rings. Can’t wait!

Thanks!!

Excellent!!

I had read on a previous post it was used more in attract mode rather than interacting with the game. So this is great to hear. I was getting it to entertain myself whilst my better playing mates were playing…

It’s like the lit shooter rod in AIQ, you don’t notice it when you’re playing but sure is pretty to the spectator. I guess once you start getting a lineup these accessories start to get their hooks in!

Thanks again everyone. Ordering today.

Ha! The only topper my deadpool has ever had was my NGG one because I have lent that pin to a mate and my wife said leave the topper at home since it’s a bit fragile. Anyways thought it was a great idea just to place on top of the backbox of deadpool safely out of the way. Friend came over that likes to nudge a bit…..

Straight down onto the HD glass of deadpool.

Yeah was a big AD&D nerd as a teen, so couldn’t resist that shooter!

I did the same! It was fun drilling into the siren lights. Pain in the arse to get the headlight wiring in. You have to dremmel out most of the chassis. Also be careful doing shrink wrap on the wires. I melted the inside of Billy’s Camaro.

I do like how the lights cycle in and out of sync.

Looks great. Do I have to wear the glasses for this mod?

I’m in!! 3rd one in our bedroom. Good wife.

Game is awesome!!! Thanks chuckwurt for all your helpful posts. Was not getting demogorgon because I had turned down power cos of airballs to 180. Then read your posts to turn them up. Anywho 230 and 225 and getting holes in one all day without adjusting demogorgon. Woohoo. Only thing is the ball is coming around the left ramp so quickly it escapes 1 out of 3. Only have a pro. Notice the airshirld in the top left can be adjusted across a little. Will check that if still happening will make an air shield out of lexan. Anyone else having this issue?

May also have to adjust my shooter lane guide as manual launches will only hit left targets or side of left ramp. I guess they are meant to hit middle targets so can bounce into saucer? When I try to decrease launch it just misses targets altogether and just hits side of left ramp.

Btw chuckwurt your help with my TWD solved all my prison magnet issues. Made that game sing!

Quick question:

Are the drop targets sometimes meant to stay up when you hit them? Some quite hard hits they are staying up and the ball just rebounds back.

Thanks!! Adds a bit of excitement I guess.

chuckwurt went through your video. So only solution for ball bouncing out of mystery into left orbit where it’s not a clean return to left flipper was mainly levelling and then playing with left orbit guide? Post coming down and letting ball out does seem to put some rattle on the ball so it’s in the middle of the orbit lane and drops down to sling.

Thanks. It’s a pity this can’t be fixed with a code release. I Could always remove the post ….

Or replace the solenoid with an arduino. Will try the spring fix, thanks!

EDIT: going to report to stern as a bug. They got it right in Elvira and turtles. Can’t be that hard.

Anybody put the LE Wizard Apron on a pro? I was just thinking of using double sided tape under the magnetic backing

There pro one is just the letters on message wall in pink and they do them in vinyl I guess like artblades. There is not much pink on the playfield so may look a bit out of place. Also you have me now thinking the vinyl will have no support where the apron cards go.

Just wanted to replace this shitty mess. I mean I like IC but does stern have to make it so ugly:

Edit: my other option is to replace the apron cards and print a decal for around the QR…

I found the posts for the apron cards. Will try to put something together around the QR.

Awesome!!! Thank you. Like your cats. The black one looks like he’s up to no good!

Worked on my pro today. Went from the following:

A) ball rolling down to left orbit hitting left sling especially out of mystery
B) ball rolling out of right orbit hitting top of right sling bouncing all over the place.
C) saucer kicker firing into right post behind drop targets and then out of control into slings.
D) ball flying out of right ramp or bouncing of ball lock travelling back down ramp and then sdtm.
E) left orbit spinner clunky and robbing power

To…. Fixed all of the above. Went from clunk fest to flow monster.

chuckwurt orbit guide rail adjustments fixed both orbit returns so that they always return to flippers. Left guide came out a bit. Right guide came in a bit.

The saucer deflector adjustment plus a bit more power to kicker gives me that extra burn it back. Awesome.

C0untDeM0net - is a genius!! Cutting the spring on the up post solenoid means that it never affects the ball as it rolls out of mystery into the left orbit lane. Thank you. Your fix should be a key post.

Adjusting down right flipper power to around 215 still one shots demos but stops balls escaping from left ramp.

Twisted the spinner just a little. Seemed to be pointing straight across the playfield rather than perpendicular to the left orbit guide rail. Felt the ball wasn’t hitting it head on. Ball is now travelling quicker through the spinner without clunk. First photo shows after fix. 2nd photo is before.

Thanks to everyone for helping me get this game flowing so well.

So had my first game where I scored over 250m today now that I have the flow fixed. I got to complete some modes which really got the pulse going like “What Mama Says”. Is the same stress still there in the cleland sound mod, or are the mode sounds all different now? Understand the need for less hopper just concerned that some of the modes that are great may lose some of their impact. Really like his TWD sound mod and would never play the vanilla on that pin.

Thanks. It does sound good. Man you make it look easy! After my moderate score, my deflector must have shifted back to its old position. No longer does burn it back. Will have to try star washers to lock the metal in place. Or maybe rubber.

Mine was a new pro. Started with 10 required for EB. Seems a good balance.

My NIB pro didn’t come with it. Just decals.

So going to replace the drop downs with the Mezelmods clear ones. Any advice on how to stop them from bricking, how to make them more sensitive and drop easier?

Failed with the saucer kicking out to burn it back. Don’t think it can ever be made consistent. It will always move. The posts underneath are just in t-nuts. All the deflector is being clamped on is the machine post stud. There is no friction points to keep it from moving. Combine that with the kicker shoving a metal ball into it which wants to push it back north….

Tightened down so much the posts around the stud dug into the clear and I snapped the top of one of the studs.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

The only way the deflector can be clamped down is a 3D print which replaces the two posts and gives a flat base to bolt the deflector to. Might give it a go later.

Thanks chuckwurt for letting me dream!

It was cool when it worked. Also burn it back isn’t that powerful. Will just turn it down and have it kick at the targets.

Does anyone know the part number for the deflector. I scratched mine a bit. Can’t find it in the manual or pinball life.

Well let’s agree to disagree. I’ve only seen season 1 to 3, and it’s the best homage to ET, the 80s and the supernatural. I think it’s great. And I think you’re all over analysing. Just enjoy the show and play pinball.

The nice people at wizardmods are doing the Le art for me on the pro apron. Has anybody put an apron on a pro? Is it thick enough that it doesn’t indent over the card apron area?

Edit: answered by wizards. They told me the vinyl is thick and won’t sag into the card area. Also watched their install video. Pretty awesome service doing a customised apron for me at no extra cost. Very helpful people. Will show when it’s installed. Thanks to pinsiders that sent me photos of their aprons without IC. forgive me for being lazy.

One thing to mention is the pro looks great when it’s off. I have a last batch pro and really enjoy it. A fun fast game with lots to do. Still find it very immersive with the modes. Make sure you get the uv kit.

Thanks to Wizmods from turning the crap pro apron with IC stuff into this:

Pro is great. Played the LE in a pub in Newtown. Projector was ok but not awesome. I think the uv lighting is more important for upside down. I now own the pro. Great game and the pro doesn’t look butt ugly when it’s switched off. Just another take.

No rest for @cleland!

We only have one distributor in Sydney. They sold the last pros at RRP and include the UV kit at no added cost. Don’t understand why some US Distributors price gouge their customers.

You make it sound like chess!! No wonder I score so low. Think 5 moves ahead, got it.

I personally don’t buy into this whole “it’s only relevant now” argument. We have only watched up to series 3 when it first came out. So that was years ago. To me it’s not just based on a great series, it’s the whole 80s theme and teenage kids, supernatural and D&D. Bullshit mode the whole lot. Super fast brutal flow. How many people who own twilight zone watched the old series, how many people have watched the shadow? It’s an awesome pin, I don’t think it’s going to be forgotten when the series ends.

Godzilla. A lot more forgiving. Both breadth and depth. Different 3 flipper layout. Recommend premium.

Does Connery resignate with your son though? Tried to watch you only live twice with family and they did not have the nostalgia I had. They found the movie boring as rat shit. You’ve seen the humour and clips of Godzilla. You don’t need to have watched any of the older movies to have fun with that pin. Then again 007 could be awesome!

Edit: deadpool is great btw, not as much to do as GZ. But the katana shot is awesome. Call outs and music is awesome and family friendly. Both DP and GZ are favourites in our lineup. They are both less mode driven then STh.

Awesome my jp is ready for pickup. Just house isn’t ready. So many good games so little space…

I dunno, I love my pro. The projector would be nice, but it’s pretty fun game without it. UV kit is awesome!

Has cleland updated for latest code? Apologies have not searched. Being a lazy dick.

Cliffy doesn’t list any scoop protector on his site. I had to rebuild the saucer for my WCS with a fibreglass poly filler, paint and then put his carbon fibre protector around it. The damage was so bad it had dug wood. Here’s the after image

Send him an email at [email protected]

I would get some paper, trace around the saucer and the posts around it that any cliffy can be attached to. Then send it to him. 2mm grid paper will give him dimensions. Let me know if you need me to do it.

I cut a bit of lexan. Haven’t had a stuck ball since.

Edit: I did make the bronco mod myself so it may be in a different position

The stern shooter does not feel great. But looks awesome. I like the bling so fairly happy with it.

So I think I just fixed my exit out of
Mystery not returning to the flipper correctly. I had already cut the spring on the up post which was interfering with the ball on exit and tried the cabinet bumper to direct the ball more towards the outside orbit guide. But still the ball was dropping out erratically sometimes hitting the sling, sometimes the post at the top of the springs, not everytime but enough for the ball to bounce into an outlane. Not cool. Anyway I realise as the person who suggested the cabinet bumper fix that the ball just needed to be guided a bit further out of the exit towards the orbit habit rail. Once it makes it there it will roll down to the flippers in a slower fashion but same trajectory as if hitting burn it back. So I bent a little bit of soft metal I had to create a slight up turn and stuck it to the backside of the habit rail that is at the exit next to the up post. This little guide extension pushes the ball to the orbit outer guide and removes erratic roll outs.

Here are a couple of pics of my small metal extender. Note the small link at the end which guides the ball. It does not seem to affect orbit shots but this will depend on how far the piece sticks out.

Dammit. This is happening to me now as well. Was easy to take out. May be more painful to get back in.

Yeah I just put a small hex bolt a plastic washer and a nut underneath. No more traps. Lucky I didn’t put the third screw back in the flower man made things so much easier to get access.

Sorry for your loss.

Can someone help me out with the part used for the left eject bracket? So after the metal bracket which holds the solenoid underneath. I checked the manual and it’s not listed. Thanks.

Can anyone help? Or maybe a photo underneath?

Thanks, no it’s the left saucer. That’s the up post out of the mystery shot.

Thanks. That’s what I was thinking. Their normal VUK has a deflector welded onto it like in bond and deadpool. I’m after one without the welded deflector. Weird that they don’t have it listed.
