Quoted from zaphX:

Wrong part! That's 17g, should be the 20g version.

Your link is the same exact specs and same exact part number…..

So I installed the pin woofer system the other day... 2 questions for the pin woofer experts here...

1. Maybe I'm just crazy, but at the suggested settings, I feel like it is very quiet. And I have to turn it up to around 10 o'clock on the volume dial to get a volume that I think the machine deserves. This means that if I really want to rock out, there isn't much room for overhead. Basically this question is about general volume. Not sure what I expected, but is the pin woofer system supposed to be... louder... but not extremely louder than the stock setup? If so, got it. Just wanted to make sure.

2. After installing the subwoofer, the bottom of my machine looks like the photo. Are the screws supposed to be sticking through like that?

Makes sense. I’m assuming there’s a key post where to purchase these should they go out?

I got the four pack from AliExpress for about 41 bucks including shipping if I recall and it took about 12 days I think pinmonk posted a link I'll see if I can find it and add it to this post

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32849379671.html

know it says 17g
But they are 20g The ones I received were 20
The detail says 20 g but the subject says 17 g. Ignore it

I put pinwoofer on deadpool and the screws are flush, not sticking out like that.

how long does it take to install the pinstadium CE's??? Could it be tackled tonight or wait for tomorrow and have all day?

If you've done pin stadium installs before, it takes about the same amount of time. 20-30 minutes.

If you got the xeno mounts reserve some extra time ... I had trouble installing those. Probably another 20 to 30 minutes to get it just right.

You should use the hardware provided by Pinwoofer. I reused the ones that came with the system and noticed the same you are seeing. Change it and they will sit flush.

Quoted from Ecw0930:

This is good to know.
Because mine are set to arrive tomorrow!!!!! Did not go with ultra. I felt it was a little overkill honestly.
But I'm beyond stoked to see what these bad boys will do.

This is a joke. 99% of pins benefit greatly from pinstadium lighting. New and old.
I doubt g'n'r will be any different and they should really enhance the entire experience.
I'm seriously considering pinwoofer next but I seldom play it up really loud.

You're absolutely right with the 99%... the one game in a 100 that doesn't benefit from those overpriced souped up $2.50 led strips is the lightshow masterpiece that is gnr

Maybe if they bring out an Ultra 2 super plus triple premium set, they might improve the game... might.

Whole process should take approx 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Step 1: open box
Step 2: unload contents directly into your trash
Step 3: turn on your game
Step 4: play it

#17462 2 years ago
Quoted from Mar3nBu:

Today after a decent game (for me), I went in and reviewed the achievements in Scorbit and found some weird behavior, mainly chained achievements all met during the same game. What I mean by “chained achievements” is for example an achievement for playing 1 song, followed by the achievement for playing 50 songs and then the one for 100 songs. Maybe a code bug or how Scorbit interprets this? Maybe jsa and pinball_keefer might be able to investigate? Let me know if you need anything from my side.
[quoted image]

When you're playing a game that achieves an achievement like that one, where there are levels counting the same thing, in theory, you should have achieved all those previous ones already.

So in this case, did the achievements (1 song, 50 songs) show up when you hit 100 songs? Did you not get them before, and suddenly got all three? Or did you get the first two twice?

In your Account Menu > Profile > Stats > GnR achievements screen, does it look accurate?

Thanks!

#17463 2 years ago
Quoted from Ecw0930:

All of this talk about challenges has me feeling even more like the red headed step child of the group. Isolated over here in the corner by myself with my little se model ...
Am I the ONLY SE on here with scorbit? I can't play against any of you.

I have the SE (aka, the actual limited edition! )....but haven't setup Scorbit yet. Was thinking about trying it the other night after getting almost 9M. I hear about these 20M+ plus song jackpots and can't imagine I'd be much competition. I find this game difficult. Plus I'm slow to learn the strategies....

#17464 2 years ago

Went balls out w the light show and added mirror blades just now…amazing!

Hi Jay! In your example, 1 and 50 achievements were achieved previously. The only thing I can think off is that maybe I “logged in” not from the start of the game but probably by ball 3 and that might have triggered something weird thus showing as if the 3 achievements were attained in the same game.

Please locate the bag of four #8-32 x 3/4" screws included with the cabinet speaker pack and use those, this way the screws won't extend below the cabinet.

Also, you can get as much as +88dB max at the player perspective. (Enough to make your ears ring after a time.) Try giving the red master volume knob some clockwise rotation.

Give a shout if you want some tips or dialog, and our sincere thanks!

Bugs are real. Protect yourself!

#17472 2 years ago

Haha I came here to brag about receiving mine from Ali express a moment ago, and there’s a whole conversation about the servos. My originals are still in tact but I’m ready for any surprises. Says 17g when you order but they’re actually 20 once you get them magic

I was on a EMAX website , put in the model number and there was no 20g option , weird .

same here, Ive ordered twice from different suppliers, always got 20 gr. Emax. These are the rights ones? what is the impact/difference?

#17475 2 years ago

RE Emax servos:

As long as the specs and voltages are correct it won’t make a difference if they’re 17 grams or 20 grams. These servos are labeled this way for model airplane builders worried about how heavy the parts are. This pinball machine is never gonna fly.

#17477 2 years ago

I checked out fooflighter race day site here (out of stock on emax 3054, BTW)

https://www.racedayquads.com/products/emax-es3054-17g-metal-gear-digital-servo

It says in the description..

Weight: 17g class, 20.1g actual

So the 17g seems to be about what class your RC fits in and not the servo weight?

I am really liking the slash guitar add-on I made to cover the metal bracket on the shooting lane. I'm thinking of making a few more for other people who might like it as well. Pinside has helped me a lot and I'd like to make a few for people and just either give them away for free, or ask to cover the costs of materials/shipping (maybe like 20 bucks I think, but I think I'd make that optional too). I haven't worked this out in detail yet, but is there any interest before I make the investment and start figuring out if I could make this work?

If it was the right guitar... the cheap painted one is still the most legit in my opinion even if it is painted.
Anything considered better still needs to be a slash replica, with better quality, and my OCD requires 5 strings.

#17485 2 years ago

#17486 2 years ago
Quoted from frobozz:

I mocked one up with 6. It looked very weird. I think it's scale issue. Kind of like how 5 fingered cartoon characters look stranger than 4 fingered characters! At that size, the 6 string version looked like it had way too many strings from a distance, unless you actually counted them. I went back and forth on it a lot, and finally I just asked some non-interested people (ie. my wife and kids) to look at my real guitars and then look at the tiny ones and which one looked better. All of them thought the 6 string looked strange. Even after telling them it actually had the right amount of stings!

Has anyone had issues with the headphone jack? It only plays sound through the left ear. I know my headphones work fine in all my other pins. Also, when connected to Bluetooth should I get an LED indicator light on the headphone board? Mine has no light indicating it's connected. (Bluetooth does work and is in stereo) Thanks!

No JJP I’ve owned (GNR and WOZ) has sounded good through the head jack. I’ve tried different headsets too. It’s a bummer because I really like them for not bothering the house when I play, but I’ve given up with it for GNR and just turn the external volume down if I feel I would be disrupting the household. Open to other options.

Flip the harness connector around the other way at the board on the inside left where the headphones plug in.

Done and done... as for the guitar color, are you referencing the fully yellow version he uses, as opposed to this starburst pattern in the picture? It would probably be easier to do the fully yellow to amber color than the yellow to amber to black color I tried.

My preference would be anything from the Gibson Slash collection! - with 6 strings

#17496 2 years ago

I only plan on making a few because they take so much time. I guess there is interest enough to justify 5 or six of them. So I'll just go ahead and make them and then see who wants to claim them. I just didn't want to be stuck with half a dozen of them if no one wanted them. Thank you everyone. I'll let you all know when I have some ready.

So basically I have two out of the three colors fairly correct, but we need to skip the f-holes and add another button on the top? Forgive my being slow on this, and I do appreciate your help. Is that the main issues?

The 6 strings are really rough with this scale. From the player's perspective, it looks right when you are playing, and really weird with more strings are added. I mean I *could* add another two. That isn't an issue. It just looks so weird to me when it isn't zoomed in. Maybe I'll mock it up again and take another picture.

Yeah I'm totally down for that! Those look great. I'd like to put them on the speaker grills actually so I'd take 2 non matching ones if that's a thing.

#17500 2 years ago

So, 2 extra strings just may not be worth the effort, as you're two tuners short also, plus the current strings are a also too thick (out of scale) and no room... and their color is a copper color and just odd. They look like a christmas tree decoration.. I would ideally replace with thinner silver wire. That may go a long way. The 4 brown strings stand out so much and my eyes go right to them first, then I notice there is a guitar behind them, followed by the meh. The f-holes are definitely not welcome either but they are barely noticeable and as everything is being scrutinized to death here those may not matter..... and I agree when you play the game you likely wont notice.... will they make it on my pin, probably not. I feel similarly to the fact that you dont notice the issues with the ones your using, that the one from ebay that is painted, and looks authentic, and I acknowledge its 2d and painted but also, think probably the fact that its painted wont be an issue once on and playing the pin.... we shall see. I have never seen any pics of the painted ebay guitar in a pin yet... dont think anyone has installed it and provided pics. So I think I have to see it first to accept that it looks like crap.
