This is what I have used on mirror blades recently. You can skip the screws entirely with this. I would recommend using clamps to hold the mirror in place on one side while you tape it on the other. The stuff is extremely sticky and it should stay in place.
Thanks for the tip!! How many strips did you use for each blade?
Quoted from PinWoofer:Hey Guys! I checked with Agima2000 and he approved printing some of these free of charge for disty to PinSider's. So, I printed some overnight. They are printed with PLA so there's no guarantee they will be strong enough to last the lifetime of the playfield, but free is free and who knows.
I'll send a few to Vespula, but is there a volunteer to take these off my hands and give them out? Thanks!

I printed this last night and installed it.. Fixed an annoying random issue... thank you to whoever uploaded it.
Quoted from rrosenhouse:Thanks for the tip!! How many strips did you use for each blade?
1-in strips at three locations around where the screws would go (3 1-inch strips total).
What is every ones flipper settings set at. I noticed when I downloaded the new code, it changed my settings on the flippers.
Quoted from PinPickle:My mirror blades didnāt come with screws. Any recommendations?
My game is so tight, the art blades are up against the field. There's no way I could get mirrors in, which I think would look great. Test your fit before you drill any holes
Quoted from Lounge:To those of you who have changed out the servosā¦..
My replacements seem to be slipping in the housings which makes the spot point all crazy. I did notice there was a plastic ring (like some sort of heat shrink tubing) around the gear of the original that would not go on the replacement servo gear. Did anyone experience this issue - any easy fixes out there?
I had the same black stuff on my servos and I think it is actually black Loctite.
In the manual it calls for Loctite 425, which is blue in color.
Of course there is mystery Item 17 which seems to reference something that isn't actually listed in the parts list.
Might this be a different Loctite? or perhaps it is the same Loctite 425?

provided to show their are only 14 items listed in the parts list.
Quoted from Sako-TRG:You must have both a horseshoe up your ass and stepped accidentally on horse shit
Thanks...I think? 
Seriously though, I have about 300 plays on mine and other than installing some mods, the glass has been off a total of 3 times...to replace a screw that fell out of the bracket holding the drumstick ramp, to free a ball that got stuck on the diverter at the top of the bass ramp and to adjust the leaf switch behind the rubber to the left of the pop bumpers that was gapped too tight and was registering when I hit the flippers. Playfield seems to be perfect so far as well...knock wood.
Maybe QC at JJP is getting better or maybe I just got lucky. Either way, I couldn't be happier with my NIB experience so far.
Quoted from holminone:Do they darken for a song? How would you describe the experience? Because I feel the game is perfection out of the box especially in song modes with that dark concert like contrastā¦. Curious how itās different.

I have some of this tape, my concern is the added thickness. I know the blades will be tight as is. That's why I was curious about screw selection because I thought a screw head would be an issue. I will give the tape a go. I think the back hinge screw may hold them in place at the back. If that's the case the front would be much easier.
Quoted from Hayfarmer:My game is so tight, the art blades are up against the field. There's no way I could get mirrors in, which I think would look great. Test your fit before you drill any holes
There's a few people that have them. I'm pretty tight on the sides as well but they should fit. I will definitely tape them up and see if I can raise and lower my playfield with them in . I have cabinet protectors so I'm not super concerned about damaging anything.
Quoted from PinPickle:I think the best way to describe is more intense. There's three light strips in the pin stadiums. 1-works with GI, 2- works with flasher, 3 - Mirrors the hot rails. So for Live & Let Die, the red light rails are way more intense. It doesn't over brighten the playfield.

I thought the thickness would be a concern as well, but it works fine on my Wonka. Better than the screws. The screw heads would always chip away at the bottom of the playfield when I used them. Especially the middle one.

I had the same problem, no gap between playfield and cabinet for mirror blades. However, I love mirror blades, especially for such a light effect game. I therefore created mirror blades that are installed on top of the playfield edges instead of between playfield and cabinet. The only disadvantage is that you need to remove the blades when lifting the playfield.
Some pictures:
The basis is cardboard in order to keep the weight as low as possible. High gloss mirror foil is put on the cardboard. A metal L-profil is used to have a clean top cover and create some strength. You can put the blades directly on the light profil left and right. The mirror effect is very close to the one of metal mirror blades.
I used the same method for my POTC with real mirror blades, but you need someone to cut the metal shorter than normal, which is more complicated then cutting the cardboard.

Got my Mirror blades in and it is tight, but not too bad - I still have a little room even when using my protectors. I Just will be very careful when lifting and lowering the playfield.

I have cabinet protectors too. When I put 1 in, I have to lift field 3" to get other one to slip by. Crazy tight here.
General comments. The pin quality is outstanding, A+. The lighting is second to none. It is one of the most beautiful pis I've seen and have. The theme, animations, and toys are great. My only down side is the numerous multi-balls. Not only does it make the game repetitive and boring, but there is no enjoyment on skill shots; as all you are doing is batting balls around to rack up points. I know that some folks like lots of multi-balls, others don't. I also understand that opinions are like elbows; everyone has two, but in my view the number of multi-balls is excessive. I don't expect agreement or disagreement with my comments. This is how I see it from my foxhole.

That complaint is easily addressed. Just turn up the threshold for the multiballs so they're harder to achieve. Note that this goes against the design of the game, but it will address your complaint and make them less frequent.
Gotta give props to both Cointaker and JJP. I received my machine October 18th. two days later I noticed what I would call a small scratch on the cabinet. The "scratch'" wasn't all way through the decal but though part of the top layer of clear film. Sent Cointaker following email........
Good morning Ma'am, I have attached two photos to this email. I am not overly concerned with it but just want to make you aware and maybe you can tell someone at JJP. Yesterday I notice a scratch on the left side of the pin about 1/4ā wide and 18ā long. This scratch isnāt all the way through the decal but through the protective plastic coating over decal if that makes sense. Though maybe it was something I did and didnāt realize it but looked through pics of when it was first taken outta the box and you can kinda see it. There was zero damage to to box, therefore I have come to the scientific conclusion it happened before it was put in the box. I am certainly not gonna loose any sleep over it. This is more of an FYI and I donāt want a new pin or JJP to pay off my mortgage cause thereās a scratch on the machine (I have noticed that some pinball owners are over the top). In passing If you could so kindly let someone at JJP know, that way they are at least aware of it. BTW still digging this awesome pin. Thanks and have a good day.........
I do get that some people would be upset and to each their own, but the scratch makes no difference to me. Was not expecting anything or for that fact even a reply. However, out of nowhere, today I got a new side cabinet decal in the mail. This pin is gonna be with me for the long haul so almost zero chance I will monkey around trying to put the new decal on but in my opinion that was cool AF for JJP to send me a new decal without asking. Some might say JJP should automatically have done that and again to each their own. To me it's a toy/ pass time and I plan on playing the snot outta it, and not wiping it down with a diaper.
BTW hit 74 million Sunday night and woke up the entire house.

Must be nice. JJP completely botched my front and side cabinet decal install with bunch of air bubbles. Complained day 1 and still have no decals. Maybe next time I should order from Cointaker.

Not to be a douche but Iām gonna be a douche. Funny how your experience is so opposite most. I played future spa at like four degrees. Talk about boring. Three or four stacks of the multiplier Pre song multiballs singing with quality shots and jackpots is not boringā¦ sorry.

So does that mean you're not going to buy one?
haha! I had my GNR LE just sitting in Attract mode while I was working on something else, when I heard a random attract mode callout come from the machine, Axl saying "It's Richard Fortus's birthday today!" ... So I look it up on Wikipedia and sure enough, Nov 17th is indeed his birthday! The attention to detail on this game is amazing. Seriously, callouts based on the current date? Is that common in pinball? I've never seen it before!

I think that would have been Duff, how cool is that, I love little Easter eggs, Nice one Eric.
No what that means is that I will probably sell or trade the one I have.

Sell the GnR to me cheap and buy a couple Sterns for your collection.
Quoted from RA77:I think that would have been Duff, how cool is that, I love little Easter eggs, Nice one Eric.
95% sure it was Axl. It didn't sound like a studio recording the way Duff/Melissa's callouts do. It sounded like it was a sound bite taken from one of Axl's monologues at a concert.
At any rate, it caught me off guard and amazed me. Is there any other date-specific callouts that anybody has noticed?
Quoted from RA77:I think that would have been Duff, how cool is that, I love little Easter eggs, Nice one Eric.
This was thanks to JJP programmer Duncan Brown. He combed through over 50 hours of concert footage from 18 different shows, looking for unique and interesting things Axl said during shows. Well, GnR played a show Nov. 17th back in '17 or '18, and Axl wished Richard happy birthday. Now it's the only thing played in attract mode on this day every year, so all the fans know it's Richard's birthday. Also hoping Richard turns on his game today and hears it himself. 
Happy Birthday 4tus!

It's so simple and easy when you're just on the forum.It's a lot more confusing in real life. Lol
Quoted from jonboy71:NIB machine has had an issue with ball getting stuck on the far left of the Bass ramp almost every time on that lane. Any suggestions to fix this?
Tweak the sides that hold the ball up there. Either side of the pins that fall when the ball gets released.

Those passive diverters are a little bit grabby when new. Put some super lube on them and work them back and forth until the ball stops hanging.

Or loosen them a turn
well i guess this had to happen at some point after 1200 games. My left flipper is getting hung up in the up position. Time to rebuild my flippers i think.
I kinda wonder whats involved exactly in JJP's do i just need new coilsleeves or is more required. Time to sort out the bits i need and put some on stock for next time.
Quoted from cybevenom:I kinda wonder whats involved exactly in JJP's do i just need new coilsleeves or is more required.
If rebuilding. I'd go with new coil sleeve, new coil stop, new plunger assembly.
1200 games isn't that many.
Easy to check. Spring okay ? Coil sleeve okay ? Remove coil stop. Slide coil off. Check plunger if it has a sharp edge or mushroomed, top of coil stop cupped ? If so rebuild. If not investigate spring, coil sleeve, tiny bit of up/down play on flipper bat ( not back and forth ).
LTG : )
Okay I'm too tired to post anything other than a picture.
Huge learning curve since I've never owned a pinball machine before. But I got a lot of the cosmetic mods done. I've got my fans and my pinwoofer yet to do on another day... Playfields gorgeous..

Congrats Vespula! Beautiful poster besides the game, lol that skeleton ā¦. Iāll see you soon in Scorbit. Enjoy!
And the fansā¦
Something fell off and is on your upper playfield
Vespula.
Beautiful looking game
Play it!

I am not sure how many games mine has. No clue. But.... I thought I noticed my left flipper hanging up a tad tonight. After about 45-60 mins of play. Not sure, very miniscule amount maybe.
Made me wonder about my flippers tho.

I was wondering if anyone would notice. That's the stage mod above the spotlight that apparently I didn't push on securely..... And it fell off. 
I didn't notice it taking pictures but I sure did on my next game when my ball kicked it around the upper playfield like bumper cars. Lol! Good eye, dug!
Rolls-Royce so skeleton has been repurposed over the years... First was a teaching aid from about 8 years ago when my daughter wanted to go into medical and learning all the bones in the body, then it has been a Halloween prop every year. Now it has a new identity... Thinking about making into Axl and getting a long blonde wig and bandana for it.
Hi guys sorry if this is a dumb question but is there a list of achievement's through scorbit that can be viewed somewhere prior to obtaining them?

Looking great man! Iāve been waiting for this day for you for as long as I can remember. Congratulations, and you know weāre all here for you as you learn to tweak and repair!
Hey Everyone, I just posted an ad for a mod that I collaborated on. It's a set of 3 bullets that replaces those black vinyl caps for the ramp switches.
Check it out here:
PS- I'm Joe Lowball on Scorbit and I am ready and willing to enter the challenge pit.
