Anyone trying to trade one of these for a Stranger Things pro? Not digging it, and love The Beatles. Let me know.

Nope, I was super excited for the theme because I love the show, but then Stern showed the game and my heart broke a little, and then I played the game and I died inside a little, like a great part of my childhood was just erased from existence and in it's place was put nothing but cold harsh memories and cruel experiences, and all I was left with was a shittier version of Attack from Mars (which I also don't like).

Anyone looking to leave the club soon?

Yeah 30 million on this game makes me think that whole metric number system has whacky scoring on pinball machines or something

So only had my Beatles about a week and the record is significantly jumping more now than it did previously. It seems to be affecting the speed it spins as well. I tried adjusting but from what it looks like the lowest gear has slipped down a tiny bit based on the scratches I can see in the center post. Anyone else had record problems?

So after looking at my beatles spinning disc issues closer it seems the problem is when the magnet is engaging causing the disc to pop up. I was curious how much other peoples discs are doing this when the magnet engages. I would say my disc is moving 1/4 inch or so every time this happens. I sent the video to Stern and they have told me this is normal and I need to lower my disc. This seems odd to me based on other machines I've played.

Here is the video I took of the disc moving. It definitely helps if you play it back at .25 speed on youtube so you get a clear view of the gap that is happening when the magnet engages.

Thanks, and I assume your magnet is engaging?

double post, my bad

Thank you for confirming. I told Stern I've played several different Beatles machines and I've never seen or noticed this before.

Thanks. I wonder how many people need to confirm this isn't normal with me before Stern will admit something is wrong.

Thanks homie! Here is the other part of the video I took from below the playfield looking at my gears and such, perhaps if anyone is bored you can see if yours seems to have as much play as mine does.

Yep, I already did this, but it is still moving.

Okay so just messed with this thing for two hours and it’s no better. Stern recommended releveling the whole mech which I did. Turns out it makes no difference since the magnet is causing so much hoping. Anyone else got any ideas. I tried multiple times to make sure everything is in place and assembled right I’m just pretty convinced that lowest gear has slid down the shaft. Anyone willing to take a close look at their gear shaft and see if yours has the same scratches on it?

Dude! Thank you so much, yeah that is definitely not on mine or in the cabinet. I know because I searched the cabinet thinking I was missing a set screw on the upper part of the disc initially when I only saw one holding the mech there. Now the really tough question, how the hell would I even get that thing back on there if I can find a replacement?

Just found the post and yes, that is exactly what my mech is doing as well.

Stern agreed after sending them this thread and your picture. They are taking care of me. Thank you for the extra effort in taking yours apart to check for that possibility. It would be great to find that spring washer size so we could keep some extras on hand.

Yeah Stern has pretty much always taken care of me as well. A few more hoops on this one for some reason, but hopefully this is sorted quickly, and they can update that drawing in the manual. If they can even just get the part number for that spring it would be very nice to have some on hand because it seemingly either breaks or goes missing.

Yeah I found them online yesterday as well, but again size and part number would be imensley helpful if this is something that has impacted a few of us.

So who is in charge of maxing the Beatles Christmas remix version of the code?
