Thanks Pinmonk for the suggestion. It is pretty snug and I even lowered more but still getting the rattle. I noticed the foam that came from factory seems to be a bit compressed and also cracked in a small portion.

There’s a small rubber nub on the middle of the apron to help keep the glass snub. Mine easily came off during about the first month of ownership. Make sure it’s still in tack as it can easily have popped out and misplaced.

Can someone please post a video or some clear pics on how to install the official topper? I can't seem to get it snug at all and don't see how to do so with the included hardware. So I must be doing something wrong. The included instructions are awful.

It’s a pretty easy rule to learn and understand. However, it can be hard at times to tell if a member is collected or not.

Here’s a few suggestion on the rule and tracking frenzy:
• revolver inserts above flippers indicate the band members. A flashing insert means that band member is the active shot. Shooting that shot collects the band member.
• Here’s where it can get confusing; a band member can still flash even if they are already collected. it can be a little difficult to judge if they have been collected in this case as shooting their shot will do nothing.
• a good habit to get into is glancing at the revolver on the bottom right corner of the display as it’s much easier to tell if members are collected or not.

Sweet. Congrats! I’ve got a box of parts as well and waiting for mine to come in. I think it’s close so I’m hoping it will arrive before Thanksgiving (fingers crossed). I’m just a bit south of you in Bothell, WA. dobler on Scorbit.

What do you mean by snug? Which part are you having difficulty with? I have installed a few of these and they are relatively straight forward.

The shaker in this pin is violent. I've tightened lock bar, put in vibration tape and turned shaker down and it still rattles like crazy. Are the arms adjustable on these like stern or pinball life shakers?

Yeah, just change the offset of the shaker arm to calm it down like a toddler with a Jack Daniels-laced sippy cup.

Thx, first thing I'll do tmrw

I’ll crack 10 mil before the end of tonight, then tomorrow I’m going for 50MIL. I Pity you fool! After getting a couple decent games, I’m seeing a couple of Lawlorish things on this pin. Eric & Pat will probably never acknowledge this but the ball movement and a couple items have some patented PL style to it. Kind of cool to see, esp if Pats next pin is the last. It’s like Borg carried over some of DE Star Wars into DE GNR

Check Scorbit sugar….

So, about 40 minutes ago I went to bed and I saw a notification in my phone… a Lousy one from Chaka 6,954,646 … so, simply I went to my game room and my 1st game was 6,209,470 at 2:02am … you will eat that lousy score Chaka… tonight

… Chaka I told you brother:-"… you’re going down sucka!" … and then you Screaminr

Good to know, I also noticed it was being less frequently active. Glad mine survived the original software and can now probably work problem free. I’d still get the additional Tibetan add on. Have that extra power cord from the original kit anyway
Actually responded because I wanted to chime in on the super fast response from jjp tech support. Firstly LTG who is always super responsive, super friendly and just a mensch of a guy. But when advised to open a ticket, Ken Holland contacted me within hours (considering time difference, it was even faster than that) and with a short email exchange solved an issue on the other side of the world, with a reminder to use the side protectors when pulling up the playfield, really…. What a pleasure.

Neck & Neck. Come get some!

This.....why.......just program the thing, if it is blinking you need to make that shot, if it is solid you have made that shot. Keep it simple.

But will take the approach Fender, Vater, Duff and then for me Gun. Then lock as much balls and start the Song, then try to make the blinking shots and try to get band frenzy. I did yesterday on Estranged, but fate decided to throw away 4 balls in just seconds after ball save timer ended.

Once I get my game , this is going to be you Rolls

I woke up to Scorebit notifications and thought ‘oh good, Chaka and Royce are going at it!!’

And now I’m sat here, reevaluating my entire life.

I'm assuming your silky sox , if so good to see

Oh man another ordinary effort tonight. Crappy 5 mil.
Was trying to pip the Chaka and Rolls.

Oh well maybe next time.

Im still figuring out the magic of patches. was a pleasant surprise to be gifted 5 patches on mystery. Super valuable they are.

So is there an easy way to see what patches achieved ? When holding flipper and scrolling patch screen will only show for a moment.

Kinda be nice if flipper hold pause/achievement menu would not auto progress so an ol fart like me can read wtf is going on before it jumps to next page, lol.

Mad duff call out after an extra nudge tonight...
At least buy the machine a drink before you bang it,
Haha

JJP GnR is pure gold

Yeah, Hurry up an get your game Scream

Keith really improved the info page on the Hobbit after a long time , hopefully he'll get around to doing this on GNR .

Interesting, Mine is perfect during game play.
Only time it goes mental is during that crazy robot mode, forgot name 1/2 cut right now.
But man its perfect as soon as mode starts whole machine shakes like its gonna take off !
Its effin awesome !

Outside that shaker is really tame and perfectly integrated.
I have not adjust shaker or settings. was spot on out of the box.
Awesome work JJP coders !!!

You have the 36 MIL challenge? We’ll challenge accepted

On live and let die and the carnage mode you refer too, it's really bad. I'll move arms in today and try to balance out a bit. But if this is my only issue to worry about, I'm a happy guy..

Obligatory "In the club" post. LE 1818! Game was almost perfect out of the box!

I have to admit reading these scorbit bantering challenges are hilarious and looks like fun. Glad to see people finally enjoying their games.

I know it was discussed before, My shooter rod tension is really weak, any advice on someone who dialed it in?

You can try stretching it out , otherwise get a stronger spring .

My gnr le is coming today! Ordered in April from flip n out, for thoes keeping track.

We ordered from Zach back in Jan and it just arrived yesterday. Kinda glad it took a bit longer to (hopefully) get past some of the early issues.

This is a post from dr.light /JJP on a discussion on the another thread. I didn't know this info and I want my GnR to be playable for many decades... So thought it was very valuable & wanted to just post the info here for everyone in case you may have had the similar concerns and/or didn't know.

Here's a link to the start of it

Anyone collected this patch before. It said pinball machine collected. Did i just win a pinball machine?

How do you post a post from one thread to another .

It's a light spring, like on TZ, for making the skill shot. If it won't even reach the target at the back of the lane, then something else is wrong. Is the plunger tip hitting the autoplunger arm as it passes by because the plunger is bolted into the cabinet too high? Is yours a CE that shipped with the wrong (too long) barrel spring (the outside one)?

That’s awesome! Never seen that. Did you get all the patches to unlock it or…?

Speaking of which, I wonder if there’s any Easter eggs for collecting all the roses?

Its an LE.. I have to look, thank you.

i rather enjoyed the boomerang effect.

how do i find out if it went bad or if it's code? I mean it works on certain things, so i'm guessing it's just the new code.

I added one of these PWM boards in my Star Trek for the same reason. Dialed it down to about 30%. This little thing is freaking awesome and so easy to install.

This is the first I’ve learned this tidbit which is very helpful…. Thanks!!

Ya, our star trek shaker was way too noisy, even at minimal usage. It was a pinball life one that came with the game

i had a cointaker one that was NUTS. Got the PWM board, took 8 minutes to install it, cost $8. dialed that shaker in perfectly!

I had a similar concern and what I did to set my mind at ease was just hold a ball between your fingers within an inch or two of the magnet, and then use the coil test feature to engage the magnet and see if it pulls the ball out of your hand. If it does, then you know that everything physically works fine, and that something else in the game (code most likely ) is just telling the magnet not to engage. The coil test is a very quick charge, don't expect it to hold the ball for any significant amount of time but you should feel it pull the ball from your fingers if you are near the magnet.

No sweat. Someone else earlier in the thread (not long ago) tipped it to me; passing the knowledge.

Has anyone tweaked the left ramp divertor so that it doesn't smash into the playfield as it drops into the down position? A piece of it appears to be hitting the wood around the playfield area it comes out of. The top piece of the divertor has already been adjusted to sit as high as it can yet it's still hitting the playfield a bit. I put a double piece of mylar on mine for now but not sure how well that will hold up.

Thanks Eskaybee for pitching in! That was one of my first thoughts, but it is still there.

Hayfarmer I have my shaker set to low and that is quite good and doesn’t seem like the walls will come crumbling down, but even with that I get the glass rattle.

That being said, I can tell you that the rattle doesn’t come when the shaker is on but when for example a new ball is put into the shooter lane or I can trigger that rattle by banging lightly on the side of the cabinet. If I put some pressure on the glade, the rattle is gone. Will try to experiment adding more padding to the lockdown bar and see if that helps and then figure out what material I can use more permanently. Thanks all for trying to help out.

Nice, hope yours arrives soon! Seems like there's a small cluster of us out here - I'm north of you, and southeast of Marysville, in Snohomish.
