Just join the party yesterday. Awesome pin.

Having few issues thou:

1 - my pin was NIB with the 1.15 code (is this the latest? Pinside shows 1.10 as latest which does not make sense)

2 - I have the metal protector but no FAB or FOUR protector for flying balls out of the box. Is this something I should buy or ask Stern for it? I found the FOUR protector to but not the FAB (which actually does cause more flying balls than thr FOUR).

3 - the inner/outer post with no rubber can damage the balls? Where is a good place to buy and what is the size it will fit? 3/8? I saw a pink one posted here before. Links? Just wanted to make sure the rubber will not interfere with the lanes and also with the SJP drop.

4 - anyone does change the strength of the flippers? Does it helps with the flying balls? I have all on factory now.

Thanks

Quoted from Yelobird:

1 visit Stern.com and see what the newest code is
2 contact Stern and they will provide the air ball protector.
3 won’t damage balls. With a rubber on the post the ball will exit out lane on skill shot and drop lane. Don’t put them on.
4 standard is fine or adjust to your preference.

1 - Stern website also shows 1.10. But my machine shows 1.15. I sent an email to Ster to clarify
2 - I did contact them, will wait for the response. I saw they had a kit that will include a FOUR drop targets acrylic, but funny enough my major issue is with the FAB drop targets (sometimes the ball will hit the glass pretty strong). Just trying to avoid damage to the playfield long term
3 - Ok, I was not planning to, but wanted to feel what was the consensus of the group.
4 - I do not like to change factory settings unless there is a good reason. if not going to change the number of air balls I will get, I will keep like it is.

P.S: Also, my 25c coin recall button came inverted. I tried to fix it but the C washer that locks the button in place is different from the other machines and much more tighter and smaller. So plyers do not work. I asked Stern for a replacement part.

Thanks

Quoted from Pinball-Ike:

By all that is hopeful and holy, I really, really want to see an update that eliminates the uncollectible extra ball bug! This is a great nugget, thanks for sharing!
Congratulations and enjoy the new machine, we love ours!

What you mean by the uncollectible extra ball bug? You mean that even when it is lit and you hit that, you do not get an extra ball? On mine I never saw this happening. But I did not get that far yet
(high score 10M for now).

This is my version 1.15 ... contacted stern and no answers yet. Purchased last month so maybe a new version that will be released soon?

Some pictures of the playfield (got the metal divert piece but not the protection on top of four).

Also some quality control issues:

Beside those small problems I love the pin.

Quoted from jbovenzi:

I agree that normal rings on the outlane posts really don't work.
However, there was a post (sorry - I looked and can't find it again) that had the smallest ear bud tips/covers placed on the posts. I looked through the junk drawers and found some black ones.
I tried that and it worked like a charm! I can do pictures if anyone is interested.

I actually just did that. Found some old Samsung replacements earned rubbers and added. Worked perfectly and did not altered the inlanes or SJP drop or Skill shot.

Quoted from TeeJayN:

A friend just bought a new NIB Beatles Gold made in October 2021 and it has software version 1.15. As most existing owners know, the last and current software release is 1.10 and the Stern website shows 1.10 as the current release.
So why is Stern not offering 1.15 to current owners?

Mine is the same 1.15 (NIB). I believe they should release the 1.15 offocially with the Dec 21 new Gold builds.

What I can tell you os that I have no issue with the new code, but since I never played 1.10 or earlier I could not tell you whats is different (desides the extra ball issue that I believe it os fixed).

Still a brutal game and I cannot past 5M in most games. My best is 10M.

I presume you’re referring to the speaker upgrade?
