Quoted from SpidermanDan:#31 Came home today!!!! What a relief! I have been checking this blog constantly to feed my anticipation and I have to tell you the wait was worth it! The game is INCREDIBLE!! It is the first pinball game I have owned where when people see it and they say wow! I have already installed a piece of foam for the diverter issue, speaker light kit, cup holders and Red leg protectors (for Raphael). The game shoots so fast and has so many things going on at once which will keep both novice and advanced players busy! The only criticism so far is that fan in the back box is so loud...this is my first NIB Stern in over 6 years so I was not aware that was a thing.
Great job John, Dwight, YetiZombie and team on an amazing piece of art!

Those plastic leg protectors are garbage. I’d take them off, they can ruin decals.

My Cowabunga flasher is stuck on, anyone else run into this issue? Are the spike led flash lamp boards prone to these types of failures or is this more likely a bum node board?
Quoted from PinMonk:A few people had this problem - it was mentioned here:

I'd PM them first to see what it was in their case first. I think it's likely the node board 8b that the flasher is on, but one of them probably has the answer by now.
If you want to go to the trouble of swapping your Node 8 and Node 9 boards you can determine whether your node 8 is the problem (it's what powers the Cowabunga flasher). Swap the boards and change the dip switches (page 9 of the PDF for the Prem/LE) so the boards now know they're the opposite board. If your problem goes away, your node 8 is likely the issue and you can contact borygard about getting it repaired.
Super helpful, thanks. I just ordered an extra node board as a backup so I’ll swap that in when it arrives to test. Was going to order some extra flasher lamps but can’t seem to find them anywhere online. Contacted Stern to see if I can get one via them. :/
Quoted from PinMonk:Did you order the node 8 "master" board, or just the node sub board that the lights and flasher are on?
Also the flasher in this case is just a LED diode on a board, not a bulb, so that's why you can't find it.
I ordered the “master” board (520-7017-72).
Was looking for this flasher lamp board online with no luck unless I want to pay for international shipping...

Those flasher boards are so simple I doubt that would be the problem. I also don’t see anywhere that the wire is crimped or damaged and would be causing a short. My guess is you’re correct and the node board is the issue.
Quoted from JackOfPots:I could never get confirmation this was an issue. I have a Premium and the right side of Cowabunga is always dimly lit. It lights up brighter just fine. But, for instance, on booting the game the right side is dimly lit at all times while no other lights are on. Is this what's happening to you?
Exactly my problem.
