Quoted from RhettDR:

Man o man.... I have been tweaking and tweaking to get this thing to be playable... The cheap drains were horrid... I changed rubbers / removed rubbers / altered settings / ball saves / etc...
I would have games, where two balls - would drain - three times each (two on ball save and one for the final drain) without me even touching the ball.
Launch - into the pops - out - into the slings - *snap*snap* out.... twice..
I lowered the slings to "18" and it finally feels like you can play the game. I also had the rubber donuts off at the top of the outlanes.
Now I have them back on.
Anyone else have this issue?

Quoted from durgee7:

Soooooo much better!!! Stern came through on this one. Very happy.

Quoted from Soulstoner:

I started into this hobby putting Titan's on all my flippers as per most peoples suggestions. Since taking them off and putting stock rubbers back on, my games all have more control and are more likely to make wide orbit shots.
So if you have titans, try taking them off and going back to stock.

Quoted from Rob_G:

I believe I have solved my air ball issues. The solution was to re-level the pizza spinner wheel. While it was seemingly level already, I believe even the slightest edge can cause the ball to gain even a little air (off the playfield) and then ricochet upwards when hitting a standup target.
I've played quite a few test balls, shooting the left ramp X targets and no more airballs now. The airballs were also causing issues shooting the pizza parlor.

Quoted from BaxterStockman:

Any recommendations for soldering irons? They all kinda look the same to me.

Quoted from J-Freeze:

I think most of the animations are great, the extra ball and replay animations are a couple of the best I've seen, April doesn't really bother me.
Overall I think they did a great job with the animated package.

Quoted from Doctor6:

So I'm debating on my next machine. I either want a TMNT pro or a deadpool pro. I know I'm looking for yes men by coming here and asking, but I'd like your thoughts on this? I hear the game is "hard?" Keep in my I love The Walking Dead and my favorite thing is getting killed in that stupid game.
Are the shots too tight? What makes it difficult?

Quoted from Kulky:

I don't understand how getting a high score in this game works. But I know one thing it's not related to progression which I feel is... counter intuitive.
Also has anyone ever. In the world, got to cowabunga mode? Seems stupidly impossible to get too. Can't even find a video on YouTube of anyone ever getting it. Maybe that needs to be relaxed?
I love the way the game feels I just think it needs some tweaking in the rules.

KRANG MOD GUIDE (pro model)
I am very proud and i hope you enjoy this mod too, it came out way better than i thought.
[quoted image][quoted image]
Buy this Toy: Neca Donatello vs Krang
[quoted image]
Cut the back of Krang for the LED illumination
[quoted image][quoted image]
Drill a hole in Krangs mechsuit in the size of a LED Socket and hot glue it from the back later. Make sure you do not glue where the LED has to be attached, for a good electrical connection and you can swap LEDs later too. I did use a cold white 8 SMD LED, make sure Krang has enough room in the mechsuit too because of the LED inside. Glue Krangs arms into his mechsuit, so they don't get lost.
[quoted image][quoted image]
The LED connection has to be solderd on the red LED of the Krang insert. So Krang will light up when you shoot the center loop, he does his call outs or the Krang shot Hurry up is running. You can see the two blue heat shrink tubings, those are the cables I cut and where I soldered in the Krang cables too, make sure you don't mix +/- connection. You always can go into LED test in the settings, make sure to press the coin door switch, otherwise the LED test will not work.
[quoted image]
I attached the toy with a cable clamp, just make sure the toys feet don't get under the pop bumper.

Quoted from Gogojohnnyquack:

4-player co-op?

Quoted from Jediturtle:

I was just about to say that. You ain't lying! If he's pulling those two off, Final Battle should be no sweat, then on to Cowabunga!
I have hit Final Battle a dozen times or so (can't believe Dwight hasn't fixed the sound bug yet... :/ ). I have only done triple mondo once or twice, and I'm not sure I have ever gotten max Krang. Definitely not in the same game! The side shots are really hard for me to make consistently.

Quoted from daveyvandy:

A few days ago I started a 4-player coop game with myself and I got to Cowabunga on ball 2 of player 3! First time ever for me. Too bad I had no idea how the mode worked and proceeded to fudge it on each player lol. I still haven't beaten the team up mode though, the most I've rescued is two turtles. Plenty to work on with this game

Quoted from dapperdan24:

New owner of about a week here. This game is brutal and I love it! I plan to start diving into the rules a little now that my boys and I have smashed around on it a bit and gotten used to it a bit.
Here is a little something from my other hobby/profession celebrating the greatness of the Turtles - https://fb.watch/3Fp7IYF3F4/

Quoted from JayLar:

I am considering replacing the white flashers under the pizza with orange, yellow or red ones. It seems the Stern flasher is 5 VAC. Will a 13 VAC flasher work as my supplier only has that voltage for sale?

Quoted from bossk4hire:

So what is the shot for the super jackpot during multiball? And or the shots to get to it? Buddy hit one and we missed in all the chaos how and where he got it.

Quoted from bazou:

Hello guys,
Finally received my NIB TMTN Pro, my very first pin, I'm so happy to join the club!
At first I thought that everything looks fine, but the more I look at it, the more I wonder if I actually do have this PF print quality issue.
When you look from very close, like if you have your nose on the glass, then you do see the printing dots. But from a normal playing distance I would say you don't see them. Have a look at the attached pictures (I have the feeling my phone camera increases this issue compared to what you see real life).
My pin has been produced in july 2020.
What do you guys think??
If this is a PF printing issue, am I supposed to ask my distributor to open a case with Stern? or can I bypass him and open a ticket directly myself? That would be more convenient for me since he is located on the other side of the country.
Also, second doubt: it seems like when the ball goes to the right ramp quite slowly the opto (highlighted in the picture) does not trigger. Is that a normal behavior? If not, do you think I could fix it?
Many thanks a lot for your help & advices beforehand, I'm a bit nervous for this first not-at-all-reasonable purchase!

Quoted from MutterFudder:

Maybe I'm just dense, but those perk descriptions mean ABOSOLUTELY nothing to me. Bebop equals rocksteady? Rescue any? Okay?

Quoted from ticktockman:

So I'm pretty new to pinball and got a NIB TMNT Premium last month. Just recently my upper ball lock (Pizza Parlor ball lock) stopped firing. Did a coil test and you hear a noise but nothing really happens. If I pull the ball lock up manually it will drop during the coil test, but won't go back up. Any suggestions?

Quoted from whisper:

Just doing my research on pro vs premium because I’m saving to hopefully get one before years end, an just wondering what the lair lock is? Have only played a couple of games on a pro before it broke down on location, an doubt I will ever play a premium unless I owned one. Huge fan of the theme an definitely will be the next pin in our house.

Quoted from shaub:

In Ninja Pizza Multiball, the Premium can hold a ball in the LAIR lane, I'm not sure of the specifics but I believe having the mushroom topping enables it. The premium has a 2nd switch to allow this, so it's definitely something they easily COULD HAVE added to the Pro but it's important to have distinguishing features between Pro and Prem so people have more reasons/justifications to upgrade.

Quoted from Mr_H:

What playfield wax should I be purchasing that everyone would recommend?</blockquote

What playfield wax should I be purchasing that everyone would recommend?

Quoted from plasticbugs:

Do any of you let the episode timer run down instead of trying to complete the episode to get progress? I was thinking if I just cradle the ball and let the episode timer run, I'd probably have much better odds of getting to team up and maybe even to the final episode (albeit with zero perks).

Quoted from Mr_H:

Having a little issue that I would like to prevent from happening anymore. Any ideas what I should do? Its my first pin, so I'm a little unsure.
Its almost like the insert is sitting slightly higher or lower (hard to tell) than the playfield so its wearing away unfortantly. [quoted image]
