Quoted from Vespula:

There's nothing to indicate that they have stopped adding washers and posts improvements. Latest shipments have shown these modification. What you may be referring to is a post of one request made to support for a may build that did not have these changes and they replied to this person due to supply chain issues they can't send parts and go source from Marco or pinball life.
As for the limited warranty, the may GNR manual is very limited compared to nov2020 version last year.

Quoted from Vespula:

Fortunately from the late zaphX, I recall there are methods to sourcing your spotlight servos, and broken parts needed can be "printed" from 3D printers (thingyverse.com ?). So I think JJ is sending the message loud and clear, that as of pins shipped starting May 2021, they want to focus only on initial task of building and shipping the pin and basically code updates, with a limited warranty only covering: 1. Printed circuit boards (game logic) for Sixty (60) Days and 2. LCD monitor for Two Hundred Seventy (270) Days.

Quoted from MJW:

I have to pick it up from the fed ex terminal.
Purchase price was free shipping to nearest terminal.

Quoted from apinballwiz:

I'm sorry may I ask what happened to zaphX???

Quoted from mozach:

Anyone downloaded the new beta code? I keep getting a failed to verify error

Quoted from LTG:

Yes. No problem here.
Did you keep the coin door closed ?
LTG : )

Quoted from Pinhead1982:

My game is May 21 build..
Not played a game yet- game is up on its legs and I’ve put it in jukebox mode..
Over the next week or so:
Replace posts with larger WPC posts
Put washers under posts
Check coil stops
Install Cliffys

What else do I need to check?
Magnets?
Game arrives with silicone sling rubbers and upper playfield has silicone flipper rubber..
but lower normal rubbers..

Quoted from websherpa:

Yes, but I will say that JJP's implementation in GnR isn't the best I've experienced. Seems weak to me, but I haven't tweaked it.

Quoted from websherpa:

I happen to have one of these for my vinyl setup that I can test on an LE. Did you outline where to hook it into the system? (I will also try and check your CE Posting, thank you!)

Quoted from adrock:

I agree with the other poster, the shaker on the CE feels violent at Medium, I’d hate to feel High. Low is pretty good.

The reason I chose that preamp is because it has 3.5mm female in and out, and the soundbar has a 3.5mm in, so you can just plug it inline with any 3.5mm male to male headphone cable. But I haven’t dug into the backbox to see if the backbox speaker inputs are the same. So I guess it depends on the backbox speaker input.

Quoted from Shredso:

Can you download the beta update via USB?

Quoted from sevenrites:

It even remembered the score of the last game prior to update.

Quoted from nicoy3k:

Any word in desert demolition, you know, the mode that my freaking se cabinet art is based off?
Edit: sounds like this is now in the beta code? Can I download that via wifi?

Quoted from daveyvandy:

Yes, you have to opt into the beta in the network settings and then you can. When I briefly played it yesterday, I don't think the light show on it was completed, but the mode does actual stuff now.

Quoted from marksf123:

I just got my game recently and haven't hooked it up to the network yet. It is on my to do list for this weekend. I hope it is easy and I can figure out how to get the beta code loaded.

Quoted from sevenrites:

When playing the newest beta release, it seemed like when it was time to collect jackpot and end the song or add a ball and continue, that it was automatically taking the jackpot and ending the song without me making that choice... Seemed to happen within about 3 seconds of the countdown starting and on about 3-4 different songs. There was a song or two where it did let it countdown from 10 to 1, and let me make the choice myself. I'd add this to the beta chat but I didn't get in yet.

Quoted from mozach:

Was it the applause jackpot?

Quoted from sevenrites:

Yes. Each time it was applause jackpot. But it really seemed like it started to countdown and let me make the choice, then made it for me a few seconds into the countdown. I never noticed this prior to updating to the newest beta, on 200+ games. I don't think the ball was already in the scoop either, pretty sure I hit it in there each time when it lit.

Quoted from nicoy3k:

Still baffled by the scoring
185 song level
achieved multiple add a ball green scoop shots
Applause jackpot
Less than 10 million score...

Quoted from mozach:

Multiple band frenzies seems to be the key to a big jackpot. The fender patch helps a lot. I also try to get the Vader and Duff patches before starting a song.

Quoted from Vyzer2:

Don’t have the game yet, but if you start a song, can you then get the Vader and Duff patch and will that increase song total?

Quoted from mozach:

If applause JP is lit and then you hit the scoop, it definitely shouldn't countdown.

Quoted from fooflighter:

I wish somewhere on the main LCD, besides once into the song, showed your song value as you're accumulating it

Quoted from pinball_keefer:

You mean the song LEVEL?
Pretty sure it's in status report, but I get what you're saying.

Quoted from nicoy3k:

185 song level

Quoted from marksf123:

I am new to the game but how do you build it that high? I have been in the low 100's but not close to that (I dont think as I recently figured out song levels)

Quoted from adrock:

If anyone thinks that installing the longer locking post alone would prevent the pooling and artwork tearing, let me dispel that fantasy. My GNR lane post has significant damage and it came from the factory with the longer locking post.
For those who attempted a repair on the upper playfield post - did you replace it with the longer locking post? Asking because it would involve taking off the upper playfield and removing all those wires which seems like a pretty time intensive task. Would just ironing the pooled area and adding the larger washer likely be enough?
Thanks

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

I know he didn't seem to like the near constant playfield issue discussions that were going on

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

Just curious, what is your games build date? Did the longer post also have a black plastic washer installed and is secured by a nylon nut?

Quoted from LTG:

Some of the posts were personal towards him. Not all playfield type.
I think he finally realized, "I don't need this".
A shame. He provided good help.

Quoted from MJW:My buddy and I both ordered two LE in Oct .
Shipping Friday .

Quoted from cooked71:

I think you need the longer post to accommodate the thicker PETG washers.
Personally I’m going with a longer shaft t-nut (7/16), the longer post, a modified t-nut (no spikes) from the top, the petg washer and the pl silicone washers. Maybe overkill, but it should eliminate all movement from heavy strikes which those problem posts get.
If that doesn’t work I’m giving up.
