Quoted from PappyBoyington:

Are these really $10 for 10 post mylar rings?

Quoted from nicoy3k:

So if ford put out cars with faulty airbags you’d blame the airbag supplier?

Quoted from Drac:

It appears The Mod Couple don't ship to Australia - at least that's what it's telling me when I'm trying to checkout on their store. I'm hoping PinMonk has some of these coming??

NASA wasn’t responsible for the challenger explosion either right, it was the o ring manufacturers fault.

Quoted from fooflighter:

I have to give a LOUD RINGING endorsement to PinMonk and the Tibetan Breeze Kit for GnR.
First off the packaging and instructions.
Love the quality and care - true pro stuff right here. Funny, clever, and well thought out instructions with illustrations
Install time - everything fit perfectly and install was a breeze (no pun)- literally 20 minutes
Sound, virtually undetectable with glass on and lock bar secure.
Now for the best part:
They are a game changer....and by this I mean...you can't play GnR without them after you try them once.
They allow you to keep your flipper performance at a constant throughout play. Not only strength, but the ability to string together combos, backhands, and shots, impossible through normal progression in the game without the fan kit due to flipper fade.
They are worth every penny and they should be the first mod you install on your machine...followed a close second by the Pinwoofer JJP Super kit
A++++++++++

Quoted from smokinhos:

Not so.. I installed a cliffy on my GOTG and torqued it too much. Rookie mistake. It pooled a little. Anything laid on top of something else can separate.

Quoted from Zora:

Is there any source to have an idea how they are installed? I found nothing on YouTube nor on the PinkMonk Website. Is there a picture of the installation guide? There are holes in the plastic fan guides, do you screw them in the wood?

Quoted from gump79:

Looks good!
Been working on some cab lighting myself. Started under cabinet first. Need to install the head next.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Here's a reduced-size version of the first half of the instructions. Should give you a good idea. The brackets are different than the product pictures. I've re-designed then and haven't changed the pictures yet.

Quoted from RA77:

Yeah, alignment looks way off, sorry I can't help with pics atm, still waiting for my game. You may want to check/replace your balls ? Pf looking scuffed up, should polish out.

Quoted from LTG:

In the menu you can calibrate them.
LTG : )

Quoted from nicoy3k:

Have you guys noticed that the JJP washers have ridges under them? I wonder if the theory is that they jam into the play field to “trap” the paint/clear and prevent it from pooling outward? They definitely leave a noticeable imprint on the play field. I wonder if we are better off putting these on every post? Any idea where these can be purchased?
On the other hand, I’ve had Mylar and the flat petg washers on all my posts and haven’t seen any issues after 500+ plays

Quoted from weaverj:

hey, guys. i just grabbed an SE thursday. can someone explain the skill shot, please?

Quoted from Mattyk:

Anyone know where the “special” is?

Quoted from zaphX:

AFAIK to collect special you must collect the patch for it. I don't think there is a specific shot for it.

Quoted from Lermods:

Hoping for a code update soon to take care of desert demolition or maybe if it can be disabled so it doesn’t come up.

Quoted from Mattyk:

If you hold the action button when scoop is lit to start the mode it will disable it

Quoted from gunstarhero:

Huh! Just Desert Demolition or any mode?

Thx. How do you know desert demo is the mode that’s lit? I never paid much attention, is it on the screen or playfield somewhere?

Quoted from gunstarhero:

I’m getting a big ball hang up at the top of the right ramp where it meets the drum sticks, right under the gate. Anyone else seen this and have a fix? Everything seems right.

Dude I will have to try this! Thanks.

Quoted from Mahoneyj:

You can bend the gate out so it does not hang. Bend it closer to the drum stick if it’s the hang up I am thinking about.

Quoted from NeilMcRae:

I wrote to the CEO Brett and Jack about the playfield problem. I don't expect a reply and if they don't reply in a week or so I'm probably going to sell the game which is a shame. They have both read the email.

Subject: Current JJP GNR Playfield Situation.
Hello all,
My name is Neil McRae I’m based in the UK and I love pinball.
Firstly congrats on a great game, GNR is fantastic, I’d also especially call out the online capability which is making a huge difference particularly through the pandemic. Well done but…
In the dark and distant past I used to be the guy who got these emails from the CEO about important customers emailing and I was tasked to resolve them so I don’t send this email lightly.
However, as you know many people (and I’m a math and stats geek so probability and likelihood is my thing) are having terrible issues with their GNR playfield. I’m one of them on my LE; supplied by Pinball Heaven here in the UK. (Phil does a fantastic job for you guys here). This has been an ongoing issue at JJP for years it would appear. I borrowed a Wonka from Phil and it had the same problem and frankly put me off buying another JJP game I’m afraid to say, my good friend who is one of your biggest evangelists and owns every CE game you have made; he had the same issue with both his Pirates and Wonka.
However, both you and Mirco Playfields both stated that you were very bullish that this problem was resolved and I believed you because I’m a great believer that people always want to do their best and you guys nor Mirco don’t want to ship awful playfields. So I ordered GNR LE, but cards on the table guys (it’s that math geek in me I’m afraid)-> I wasn’t fully convinced you had solved this problem and I set my expectation low.
Starting to see the issues on GNR reported on Facebook and Pinside and I paid particular attention to my game checking everything was as how it arrived. (BTW I even streamed the delivery (first in the UK!) and unboxing and many of your excellent development guys joined it! It was awesome!) Then a few weeks later a friend who took delivery at the same time in the UK emailed with some pictures that made my heart sink. He had the chipping problem. I didn’t see this on my game but I don’t play so often – a few weeks later, same problem starts to appear on my game. I’ve reported it to Phil and he has reported it to you and I was asked to check the tightness of the posts which ~are~ tight and how they came from the factory. We have heard nothing since.
I’ve seen you guys on stage, in Chicago and in Texas, and I totally get the passion and love you put into your games – these issues aren’t the JJP brand you want to have, but nonetheless they are here and they are real and (again math geek) more likely than we would all like.
I would kindly like to ask what your intentions are to solve these problems? the entire pinball world wants to hear that you have solved it.
GNR has been massive for you unfortunately the sweetness of that is being taken away by the bitterness of the quality of the playfield. Irrespective of what happens to me personally in this issue I hope you solve it properly and permanently and I wish you success. I look forward to hearing what your intentions are.
Thanks,
Neil.

Quoted from Arcade:

Wow. So glad to get this clarified. We kept trying to hold the button down after the ball went into the scoop to start the mode as that made the most sense.
Glad there is at least a way because Desert Demo is useless until it gets programmed.

Quoted from RobT:

So what is the solution for people who have the PF issue?
What should we reasonably expect JJP to do if we have some chipping/delamination around a few posts?
Supposedly they offer to buy your game back, but the details make this such a pain that very few people will ever actually go that route.
A new unpopulated PF? How is this a solution if it's still a Mirco PF with the same issues?
It sure seems that something other than adding a washer under the posts needs to be done. I'm just not sure what it is.
