Anyone know where I can get cleaner to specifically clean stern hd glass?

Sprayway spray can or Sparkle pink/purple pump (but not green). Nothing with ammonia (like windex) as it will degrade the anti-glare coating.

Sprayway is available at Target and Walmart. I like it best, but sparkle is very good, too.

+1 for Sprayway but Sparkle is fine.

Loving it so far!

Yes it did! No more air balls. Instantly got my new Grand champion score as well now that there were fewer rejects into the pizza parlor.

If you work on your diverter you better hope the spring does not fall off,you will have some problems to get back on

Can you temporarily use painters tape to keep spring in position?

My spring came off the diverter than I stretched it trying to reattach than I tried to remove some coils so it would work than the spring popped off at the back.i looked at removing the van but the linkage is pined,I just did not want to deal with removing the van so I just keeps trying and after two hours I got it back working,just be carful with that spring and after I removed the whole diverter after the spring fell off my bolt was tight!i did not have to play with it i the first place

jurasic park vs iron maiden vs turtles who is the best?

This is a turtles thread. So turtles

Nuff said!

50% H2O. 50% isopropyl alcohol

Hamburger vs Pizza vs Kebab which is best?
Personal preference, you need to try each and decide for yourself.

How do I get to co-op mode? I tried both buttons but nothing is showing coop

Before you start a game hold both flipper buttons then a menu appears.

ah, ok, that worked, thanks!

I want my pro

Almost 500! #499 came on Thursday. Finally got it upstairs on Friday and family has been playing since. I see a mark on my ramp but doesn’t seem to be stuck on the diverted.

Me and my buddy came up with these for Elvira. We will have a set here in the next few days for turtles to match the art on the game in green slime. Would you guys want similar cut outs on these so that the protector doesn’t change the color of the art? Or solid? Also I think he sells these on the pinside shop and eBay for anyone asking. The dripping will be a differnt art more to match the game then a rehash.

I got a set of speaker lights installed. Green outer ring with blue pulsing and rotating motion.

where to order these?

NM same site as the full boxy ones. Install easy?

Always an easy install. Make sure to read the instructions. HINT. you Tap power from the power box in the back box. Not the front of the cabinet.

Yea just watched zachs video. Super easy.

Side note. Coop is amazing. Played with my two girls 7 and 10 years old. The look on my 10 year olds face when she got pizza multiball. When the disc spun with the balls she thought that was the coolest thing. It really is cool.

Great idea, I’ll take a set for tmnt without cuts in green. How much and where to order ?

TMNT 84 Checking In.

Confirmed 587 plays in the last 9 days.

Several thousand balls have been around the game at this point.

I’m pleased with the condition of the playfield after heavy play volume. Though the OCD in me wants my collectible to be pristine, no divots or indentions are visible to the naked eye from the position of the player. Extremely mild clear coat divots are visible from certain angles when reflecting lights.

My rear ramp has taken hundreds of diverter hits while on location, it’s scraped up, but the potion that is scraped is under the cover and does not affect gameplay, so I’m OK with it for now. I’ll order another ramp if I lose sleep over it.

I pulled the game back home to get wiped down and cleaned, I’m going to paint the van door neon orange (it bothers me that the door is not orange) and adjust the diverter nut. After cleaning and waxing, I’ll put the game back out on location a while at some different places to get it some more plays.

Funny, my BKSOR LE and GOTG LE both have less than 200 plays, as I unboxed then here at the house and they have never left. I’m a busy guy, haha. TMNT has more plays than both combined in less than 10 days.

I have a back lit LED always on in my Baxter and pizza slice inserts. The main LED lights in them when they are in use or going through the maintenance test. The photo is right after a drain and all lamps go out. What would the fix be?

Inked20200719_095040_LI (resized).jpg

First step try unplugging and reconnecting the plugs on those boards

The pizza is a standalone LED board (soldered). You can't unplug from the light board at the light. It's connected to CN5 on Node board 8b (same one Baxter is on), though. Check there.

You can disconnect at the board on the Baxter one, though.

If reconnecting the connectors on the baxter board, as well as the CN3 connector on Node board 8 the Baxter board is connected to doesn't do it, I'd look at re-imaging a new SD card. This is the kind of weird thing I might expect of a bad SD card.

Got these ready to go they are in fluorescent green. I’ll have some installed pictures next couple days. Once I verify they fit and we are happy he will be selling these on the pinside shop

Ok, so few comparisons have been made between this and Tron. Anybody own both? Thoughts on which you prefer?

What pitch has everyone been setting the game to? I have trouble hitting the right orbit and right ramp a lot. My bubble is just over the top line as i tend to like a bit steep

I don't own a Tron but have played it a lot and they are the same but different.

Tron is simpler and more straight forward but the one thing I like more is the horseshoe to the upper flipper. I like that staging shot much more than the left orbit hitting a post and coming back down on TMNT. I kind of hate the pops location on Tron though as I just don't enjoy shooting through pop bumpers.

You can also include X-Men in the comparison, as it's the same design flipped with some changes.

None of these three games feel even remotely similar and will just be personal preference but I believe TMNT will be the better "package" with deeper rules and Tron will be simple, fast, and brutal. It's like comparing Iron Man and Metallica. Both are great and it's just personal preference.

6.5 and playing well for me at that pitch.

Can’t you hit the center shot under the van and it stages it in a similar way to tron? I had a friend tell me that’s how that shot acts when it’s not lit for lock or mode stuff.

Yes but you wouldn't necessarily always want to as it is also the shot for starting multiball and it feels a little more stop and go then Tron or Congo. I guess I just personally like that type of shot.

Shadow does this during multiball too by emptying the sanctum lock out the side to shoot loops for jackpots similar to the Van in TMNT. I like the implementation in TMNT quite a bit but just love a horseshoe to upper flipper for some reason.

Ok im closer to 7 i think

No idea why people would make that comparison... except because they don't play them?

Yes there are common elements (cross PF shot, MB heavy, etc) - but they play nothing alike and you don't approach them anywhere near the same. I have both in the same room... don't feel anything TRON about TMNT.

TMNT is more casual friendly... you can spot things from the turtle choice and easily get to a MB or modes. Modes have good feedback on what to do... multiball is good and chaotic for new players.

TRON is brutal and hard to get going. TRON doesn't have the media feedback to guide you through like TMNT does. TRON doesn't have all the dynamic lighting TMNT does. So for casual players I'd put TMNT over TRON all day long. TRON is a players game... it is about the challenge to go far and capitalize on things.. and to play with a great soundtrack pumping. I have a fully decked out TRON and love it... but its for me as an advanced player. Wife and kids won't touch it.

TMNT is a bit more traditional with modes... easy multiballs... and more approachable.

Probably the only TRON thing I've thought about in TMNT so far is that foot combo is like EoL jackpot... people who can't do it right think it's pointless... advanced players will milk it for a ton.

TMNT pro feeds the flipper shot in three ways... the Van lock, the orbit and the ramp drop off.

Problem is the orbit is blocked by the post more often than not.. so much so that often when it does let it go by during a plunge for instance.. you aren't expecting it and aren't ready.

The ramp drop makes the feed inconsistent... I really wish that drop was in the orbit at the back, not down into the feed.

The van lock is the only one that feeds like the quora shot in TRON. It will either release balls if the lock is full, or can pass the back through pretty quick when the van isn't lit.

The way the game feeds the upper flipper is one of my gripes with the game. Honestly the most reliable way is to shoot the left orbit and let the post stop the ball and it feeds back down to the flipper.

Having an issue with the turtle van once in a while. Seems like code that can be fixed. A ball will go into the van via the orbit and then the game will just stop for a minute. After waiting the game will do flipper and coil tests. On the third time it releases all the balls from the van finally. Anyone else?

Also my diveter has cut through the foam i put there. So i guess i need something stronger

Agreed and all good points. I haven't played a Pro yet but I am hoping the plunge not going up on the ramp makes the Center Ramp more easily hit as the ball shouldn't be hopping across the playfield.

I don't know if enough people have played both to comment.

My distro just told me that they will be getting Pros in next week (mine included!)

Installed shaker motor in my pro, not too thrilled. I have it set to maximun use, it only comes on during multiball modes. On GB pro, my machine would shake a lot more. Hopefully it gets cleared up with new code. It makes it more fun for newer players that have a hard time activating multiball, or harder modes.

Dwight has said he is going to integrate the shaker more with future code updates.

We are currently having an issue with our Turtles. Every 10 seconds the back half (prob 30%) of the playfield goes black and seems to cycle thru all the lights. Anyone else encounter this. Pulled the playfield up to see if any loose connections but don't see any. I can post a video of what it is doing if that will help.

Most of these issues can be solved by reseating the LED node board associated with those lights. In this case I would just reseat all the node boards and see it that does it because I don't know which one it would be.

weird. I've had my turtles on pretty much non stop since I got it with no issues and am just now in the last hour having this exact issue. the lights are dim in the back of the playfield. also noticed the glider isn't working =(

We also had a glider issue (HookedonPinonics is my better half) today during gameplay. I don't know if the light or glider issue happened first, but basically the glider wouldn't release the ball and the game went into ball search mode. Interesting that we are both having the same issue today.

Is there anything i can do to make the left outlane left hungry? My level bubble is dead center
