I believe the magnet should be active whenever you need to collect Axel

Bump.

That does make sense.
My very first shot with the new magnet did grab the ball.
But it has yet to do it again many games in.
Frustrating.

No, doesn't do that on mine, but it does it on my dad's - still need to help him fix it.

You'll need to slightly bend the left orbit guide rail towards the middle of the field likely. A little goes a long way and don't overdo it!

hi guys, does anyone know how to connect the subwoofer to this game? i have a normal sub, with a basic aux cable ready to plug into the game. I just don't know where to plug in the sub.

thanks everyone!

my Wonka magnet did this in test mode also. JJP had to replace the coil before it functioned as intended. I'd say the coil is bad. again!

Never mind. The problem resolved itself

The easiest way is via a Pinnovator adaptor:

Then just remove one of the rear bottom vent grates and run the wire out to the sub.

Well, since the game uses the album masters, the music videos really should line up, unless the video used a radio edit, or have extended sequences (November rain?)

However, a lot of the songs used in the game did not have fully produced music videos, so unless you use the ‘bare bones’ ones from the backdrop at their concerts (humping skeleton pun intended), then you wouldn’t have the source material to do it.

What would REALLY be cool is if someone could substitute the Live at the Ritz live footage for those songs that were around back then, so you get Peak young axl, but the timings would certainly be way off and that would require a lot of manual work

If any fellow Canadians are interested in ordering from the place that makes these neon signs, PM me. Maybe we can get a deal on the shipping. Last time I checked, the GnR neon was 260Euro but the shipping was 240Euro extra. They also have Kiss and Led Zeppelin signs as well. Thanks.

I was under the impression the concert footage was edited and synced as best of their ability to match the album master tracks.

Correct

I told JJP about the pooling on my CE and they sent me this.

Tell him what he's won, Bob!

Thats why Marco had sold out of the 10-32 posts.

So are the posts in the right bag needing washers too? I only did my posts like the ones in the left bag

I don't see the GNR one in that Mancave Madness store?

Posts in the right bag are for under the slings which, to my knowledge, already have washers installed from factory. The bag on the left is the important one.

aren’t those posts on the right the same as what’s already there?

Attached is the picture of the post that they have used in my game (the one on the left, build date 04/21).

Is it better to replace it with the post on the right and put it through the original tee nut and add a nut after that?

I read that the thickness of the post is important and I would be replacing the thicker original post with a narrower post though!

Thanks for your help!

What is the size of the posts on the JJP fix-package and where to order those posts? Will they fit through the original tee-nuts?
I bet I could get them quicker from some pinball shop than from JJP.

Yikes! I figured the thicker post on the left was the fix. We are going thinner and leaving a larger gap?

The ones on the left were on my GnR originally, I was planning to replace them with the ones on the right. Well, yes, you are right, they are too thin, I ordered these ones: https://pu-parts.com/1-7/8-Tall-Metal-Post

Mmm, I was kinda hoping this kit would be correct fix.

If the new posts have the narrow diameter this is not a good fix.

We need a big hard post in a very tight hole please JJP.

Mmm Oh yes please!! Now you’re really on to something!

1. The range of horizontal motion for the right spotlight is not as great as the one on the left, due to obstructions with the backpanel or display or something. It's never been able to go farther right than "straight ahead".

2. The diverter test would allow you to operate the diverter far more frequently than it ever does in the game, which would lead to unpleasant smoke and smells. So the test mode enforces a cooling period and doesn't let you abuse it like that. As you discovered, it works fine under normal game conditions. The buzzing is just how the coil is driven, which you don't hear with the glass on and the game sounds going, but becomes really obvious with the glass off and testing the diverter.

You can't believe everything you read .
This is the company that distributed my sign
https://www.neonetics.com/
They have distributors all over the place .
And no , they're not made in the Netherlands and mine came in the double box with foam , at no extra charge .

Google Guns N Roses neon sign / shopping and the eBay site should come up .

I hate asking such a noob question but I can't seem to find this documented anywhere on here. What size rubber do you suggest for the outlane posts?

I'm getting a lot of drains on that left side and wanted to test adding a small rubber to the currently bare middle outlane, but not sure what size to order. Every time I guess and buy I end up spending $7 in shipping for a .07 cent part, so figured I'd do the more sensible thing and ask the experts this time around!

Thought rubbers for those posts were in the goody bag that shipped with the game?

Adding a rubber to the post between the two inlanes will cause MORE drains, not less. You’ll end up getting bounces off the post to the left outlane.

There are two placement options for the left outlane post - make sure it is in the upper position. This will cause less drains on the left.

Upper position pictured here:

Thanks, I contacted Neonetics in the US and they told me they don't make a GnR sign. Was hoping to find one in North America.

You can increase the size of the outlane post rubbers to 7/64. No rubber should be in the post in the middle in lane

So, my right orbit to left flipper shot is hitting the left sling and not going to the left flipper. I know it’s been suggested to slightly bend the left rail in. However, how do people suggest doing this? Completely remove the entire rail and slightly bend? Or remove plastics and try to bend while installed? Thank you!

Great News! The Mini post 10-32 bottom .875 inch stud is now back in stock! (Product ID 530-5005-00)

Click the following link to view the details for item: 530-5005-00
https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/530-5005-00

Did you receive notification about that? Because when I tried to order, it showed as in stock but they emailed me after I ordered to say it wasn’t.

In any case Pinball Spare Parts Australia had some if any one needs them and Marco doesn’t have them.

I just loosened the nut underneath at the end of the rail closest to the left slingshot, wedged a screwdriver between it and the post right to the left of it, and held it there as I tightened the nut underneath. It worked great but I need to do it again and make it tighter next time.

Seems funny all you guys supporting Marco for fixes to the issues they've caused.

Brilliant plan from them of course to onsell the bits to fix there own fuckups.

Two completely different businesses mate.

Ahhh, good stuff, please excuse me and go on about your business.

Nice. Yep, I posted immediately after I got the back in stock email from them. They should fix their website.
I guess JJP beat you to it.

crap. dbl post....hate it when I do that

Hello Fellas

Well just powered up my new LE and am very pleased thus far. Stunning game!! Couple quick questions please…. I had to slightly bend the “catch” that skids down into the rectangular hole in the lock bar assembly for the playfield as it just wasn’t getting there. Not much but a little. Don’t know if anyone else has faced this. I am guessing that the foam in the back of the cab keeps the playfield very tight?!

Also I have two wires that got fatter somehow at the very back of the playfield. Please see picture. Looks like they were rubbing on something?? Any ideas fir remedy here? Liquid stuff they sell to repair wire insulation?? New harness?? Thank you guys. First nib and a little nervous. Haven’t even played the game yet. It was built 5/21 and appears to have the washer fixed in place and is running 1.21 code. Thank you guys!!

George

Dokey. Forgot to add picture

The above picture originally had the wires going over the top of the wood that is why you can see a small indentation! I moved them to sit as they are pictured now

Clearly that was installed in the wrong spot from the factory. First time the playfield was put back in probably did the damage.
Tape them up and order a new harness. should be fine if not broken right through. For now.

This worked great! Thank you!

Liquid electrical tape would be perfect there. But definitely open a ticket and they will send you a new assembly

Finally grew a brain cell n listened to the vets w the scoop .Pull off ,screw to 2x4. use tape on hood ,squeeze pliers and twist sweet spot 10/10 shots .Apologies for all the chaos .The GnR lane was just the switch was twisted up bent back to match others wallah.Have 1 pooling post (the one by the A),will be using the small iron before installing the mylar ring n I don’t care after that this game is the shit .Funny thing is after fixed those issues last night played a game with a quick drain first ball just trying to see if all worked .Started 2 songs Better 144 and This ILove 117 (stared at my dick during instead of looking for shots) then the Slash solo (They can’t wreck the masters solo w this scoring much longer)and ended with my highest score yet 27.6.Great night and thanks to all for the help.

Oh and if someone has Dereks number call him and get him back in the mix .It’s boring without him .

Does anybody offer an left ramp airball protector yet?
