Quoted from screaminr:

Great job , I'm sure it took a lot of time and effort to come up with the hardest part of it all , the Great name - Hyperlytes
I was a bit sad that you don't ship to OZ , but after 3 months of waiting , I finally got my rock topper yesterday
I forgot I paid extra for backbox lighting , but it also came with under cabinet lighting
Everything is great , except it didn't come with the cord for the 12 volt power
Happy Australia Day everyone [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from deejaypee:

I can’t believe they forgot the power cable, I hope they sort you out quick. On Australia Day no less! That would really put me under the pump

Quoted from shovelhed:

Thats funny shit right there

Quoted from sevenrites:

Did anyone request stacking Slash solo on the developer telegram thread?

Quoted from Wildbill327:

Finally in the club!
[quoted image]

Quoted from Ecw0930:

I'm not sure what you mean by stacking. Explain?
But I definitely (and others) let them know slash solo has got to be revamped. Skipable would be best. Why can I skip a album but not slash solo. Just weird.
Maybe when they code in the SPECIAL they will help Slash Solo.
I personally don't want to stack it with anything (if it means what I think it means). I just want to skip it. Scoring sucks. Playing sucks. All it does is get in the way.

Quoted from holminone:

How excited are you right now? I’m 1,089 games in since late august and have never loved a material item more than this. Wasn’t a huge GNR fan before I got the game. Now I consider them the last greatest band.
If you’ve got the dough, get a high quality sub (I have a KEF kube 10” connected with pinnovators tap) and Pinwoofer GT kit. It makes for the greatest ducking thing ever.

Quoted from PinsNJeeps:

Hey Screaminr, mine was also missing the 12v power cable. I was able to make one out of the parts that were sent and a $1.50 part. Let me know if you need help getting it going.

Quoted from deejaypee:

You don’t need me to ship to OZ, look at that thing! And it’s not that that i wouldn’t ship stuff to you, I just haven’t thought about it. But now I’m going to. I’ve never sent anything there and I think it’s time.
I can’t believe they forgot the power cable, I hope they sort you out quick. On Australia Day no less! That would really put me under the pump
Happy Australia Day!

Quoted from Dantesmark:

Im ready.[quoted image]

Quoted from Wildbill327:

I actually have a Polk 10” power sub coming tomorrow. I’m super excited and so is my wife with our GnR. We were told multiple times that it was going to ship but it kept getting pushed back, thank goodness that’s all in the past now. After I unboxed it and set it up I noticed it needed a few minor tweaks straight out of the box. The flippers needed to be adjusted because one was higher then the other…no big deal. The AXL magnet was pushed up through the playfield(this was priority)so I had to adjust it level with the playfield or else it would cause the ball to jump going around the orbits. After making those few adjustments and looking it over for loose wires we played a few test games and it all seems good to go…Now it’s time to Rock out and Max out! On a side note my wife seems to really enjoy this pin and she put up a little over 20,000,000 and has the GC…as of today.

Quoted from holminone:

Dang. Any interest in a wife swap? 20 mil GC night 1.

Quoted from screaminr:

If I hadn't brought the topper , I would have got a set off you . Hard to believe no one has made these until now . I love the art package and the powder coating on the LE , the only thing I really wanted from the CE was the exterior lighting .
You should think about sending them down here , you've got over 500 potential customers and a lot of them are in this thread .
Well done on doing such a good job .

Nice congrats Will! 20 mil in the first night/week? Impressive! Feel free to shoot me a text if you have any setup, tweaks, rules, etc… questions. Enjoy.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Karl DeAngelo is streaming GnR LE tonight. He has an advance magnet cooler and diverter cooler on this machine, and he may be measuring temps, not sure.
But the important part is he's giving away free pinmonk quiet fan kits and t-shirts as prizes all month long, and tonight is no exception. You need to get in within the first 30 minutes (i.e. before 7:30pm PST) and make your contest entry which is usually something related to the game. Once he achieves said contest item, he awards the prizes, usually about an hour or hour and a half after the close of contest entries.
Stream is here, starts at 7pm PST:

Quoted from pinballaddicted:

Will you have a magnet cooler and diverter cooler to buy on your site anytime soon?

Quoted from PinMonk:

EDIT: He does have the temp gauge up showing the real-time magnet and diverter temps with the cooling on with the stream tonight.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Yes. It's still being field tested while I wait for some hardware I need to include with the kit for the diverter install (they're a set, magnet and diverter). Shouldn't be too much longer, though. It DOES require that you have a Tibetan Breeze flipper cooling kit already installed since that's where it gets the power.

Quoted from pinballaddicted:

Awesome, I will wait and buy the whole lot at once. Postage to Australia hurts!

Quoted from mmuglia:

I haven't liked the flippers on my GnR since I bought it December. They seemed slow to return compared my other games, and they bounced a little on return. I decided to give the Stern return spring a try. They are the same exact length and diameter, they're just a slightly stiffer spring. It's a night and day difference, especially with all the multiballs this game throws at you. Your flippers settle back to the rested position quicker, which allows you to be ready for the next ball quicker. No adjustments were needed to coil strength because I didn't notice any loss in power with the stiffer springs. They were only needed on the main and the upper right flippers. It's not needed for the upper playfield.
At $0.62 each, it's a great upgrade! These are the springs I bought if you want to give it a try.

Quoted from glpinball:

I got some low bounce rubbers for the flippers. Seems to belp.

Quoted from mmuglia:

That was the first change I made, but when I released the flipper button the flippers would bounce 2-3 times when coming to rest. None of my other games do that. The Stern springs fixed it.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Even getting packages to Australia is a pain in pandemic times. Not as terrible as post-Brexit UK, but still pretty bad. Used to be pretty straightforward. Not anymore.

Quoted from Lounge:

Where are you guys sourcing stock rings from?
I tried Titan 2” on the slings and they’re way too tight. I know I can and should go up to at least 2-1/4” if I go Titan but I’d like to keep the rings stock.

Quoted from glpinball:

Ok that's pretty sick. Pre-ordered. Can you still put the head down with that on the back?

Quoted from screaminr:

You got me thinking about that .
So today at work , I cut 4 strips of composite aluminium . You could use whatever you have lying around , plastic , sheet metal ,wood .
I will stick the led's to the aluminium and then with some double sided tape velcro , I will then stick that to the machine , making it easily removable if I ever need to .
If your LEDs come in plastic channeling , all you need to do is put the velcro to that and you're done .
[quoted image]

Quoted from glpinball:

What about a molex connector between. LED strips? Not sure if it's only one strip.

Quoted from screaminr:

Sorry , I should have explained the topper I've got has a connection for each strip .
But when it comes to removable LEDs I think velcro would be the way to go , although I haven't seen your setup .
[quoted image]

Quoted from Vespula:

hoping to see a video of this when you get it done! I missed this functionality for this topper in their marketing. Thought it was just scaffolding and spotlights..

Quoted from jonboy71:

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to install the JJP Art Blades? I've never done this before. Also, a lot of the pics show the plastic protectors aren't being used. What are the reasons why?

Quoted from deejaypee:

It’s a great idea. My worry with Velcro is that I’ve never had adhesive Velcro that wasn’t so angrily permanent that I didn’t rip off paint or chunks of wall if I ever tried to get it off unless I took my time with a razor blade and a fresh application of goo gone every millimeter. Maybe there’s something out there with a kinder but still firm adhesive that I don’t know about yet?

Quoted from brainmegaphone:

I've had good luck with 3m strips which are velcro like and you can buy sizes that support a lot of weight... but I agree I've seen other velcro products that remove paint/wall/sheetrock under the most gentle of circumstances.

Quoted from deejaypee:

Like these guys? I’d forgotten about these but not a bad thought at all. They haven’t always worked for me as easily as advertised, but you’re right, they’re much gentler and they do hold a variety of weights without issue
