I’d use a magnet to get those shavings

Good idea!

I had to remove my upper playfield (and the upper flipper). Having trouble adjusting the upper flipper to be level with the playfield and using the typical tool it still ends up being just a tad too close to the playfield. When I adjust manually I over adjust and the flipper doesn't flow smoothly. Any tips/suggestions? This appears to need to be very precise...

Double the thickness of the tool. Index card or business card works.

LTG : )

Thanks LTG - appreciate the help! It took several tries but I got it done. Every time I got the shaft to the proper height I wanted and then set the playfield back down it was binding in the coil again. After doing this 4-5 times I tried it with the playfield down (mostly) and it worked properly. I've never had to adjust flippers that way usually I get it 75% tight, set the playfield down and position the flipper and finish tightening with the playfield back up. For some reason that wasn't working on this one flipper.

Ok so I went to play tonight and....

THERES NO SOUND.

Reboot. No sound. Repeat. No sound.

NO SOUND! Everything else looks normal. But there's no sound at all.

Thoughts?

Turned off lower left front of cabinet ?

LTG : )

Sounds like a headache. So much for the SE not having them.

Check the USB connectors at the computer in the backbox. Sounds like something succumbed to gravity.

I was waiting for that! Bahahahaha well played.

Thank you for the tip. Guess I'll start digging.

I believe the audio also connects via an audio jack (like a set of headphones) on one of the boards. Might make sense to reseat that as well.

I need to replace the snubber blocks. In order to do this the guitar ramp and upper playfield need to come off. Could someone who’s done this before highlight which screws need to be removed

Me wondering If slash solo will ever be worth playing…

I wonder if slash knows his solo sucks

Hahahaha

Quick question - is the top playfield supposed to be flush (completely even) with the ramps leading up to it? See photo. After putting my game back together I noticed one of the posts that pop up/down to release the balls off the guitar neck was stuck. I had to move the upper playfield a bit to get it to move freely again but as a result the playfield is lower than the ramps. I'm not sure if this is right or not. Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

Playfield is lower should be good

Haha it's a ball drainer so maybe he does.

Authentic PU-parts.com SPOTLIGHT UPGRADE KITS have been delivered!
5 days from Germany to USA and a day earlier than tracking!! wow... a record.

EDIT: This run is sold out... but all is not lost! see my next post for details on how to get in on the next run for the assembly kit PLUS 4 emax servos in one bundle!

Fill me in. I know there’s a lot of talk and I can go search through the thread. But what’s the intent of upgrading? Do they come with the upgraded servos installed? If so I’ll take it.

NOTE: Update: See edit below.

Here's the original post I listed about the kit:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-official-jjp-gnr-thread/page/467#post-7213900
You can get servos, from Ali Express in China... 4 for about 50 and change
Link here: https://aliexpress.us/item/3256802844813856.html

Use this Upgraded Spotlght Kit when they fail, it's way more robust than JJP stock.
No matter what fails first (either the flimsy stock assembly breaks or a JJP stock servo fails, or both) you should treat it as one job and replace the entire spotlight assembly and install new emax servos. I havent seen any reports/posts of PU-Parts Upgrade kit breaking, nor have I seen any post of Emax servos failing (yet)
.
PM me if you want to get on the reserved list.
.
EDIT: I am out of them this run. but I HAVE ORDERED MORE DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND.
.
I ran through this batch or assembly kits only quite fast so I will order some more BUT also this is new for this coming run, I will order servos also to offer these as a full kit since eskaybee wanted the both assembly upgrade kit PLUS four servos as a single bundle, and I think this makes sense.
Probably 10-14 days before the assemblies come in, and hopefully the same time frame for servos.
PM me if you want to reserve a spot for the next group buy run, which is the new bundle of Spotlight assembly + 4 emax 3054 servos!
.
total price will be $160 which will cover all shipping and handling collection of both from Germany AND China to me, then I ship USPS to you (USA only).
You will get PU-parts.com Spotlight assembly kit plus 4 EMAX servos!
I can do paypal or venmo, let me know your preference.
I will keep you informed, and you should have to you by the end of November in my estimation.
PM me now to reserve a spot for this new run of PU Parts assembly kit PLUS 4 Emax servos when they come in.

Spotlight Assembly install instructions are here:

If you decide to ship to Canada I would like a set , is not hard if you ship via USPS , just ask for a customs declaration form , fill out shipper/receiver and declared value and stick it on the box . Once it clears customs it goes off to Canada post and we pay canada post customs and taxes owed when we pick up .

True true. I can do that.
Once I get the next batch in I'll PM you.

I noticed something .
I plunged twice .
I got one skill shot , no super skill shot .
I got into the flames multiball in two shots .
On my third plunge , I had a full blue ring for skill shot , how does that happen

These guys spend more time with you then anybody! That's just awesome!!

You might want to give a try more recently since the app update, if you haven't yet.

Wow, GnR with a subway system, too? Would have been even better!

The "It's So Easy" re-worked light show on the beta code is so good!!
I wonder if they're going to enhance any of the other song light shows, And what the story is behind that one being updated? I played last night and got that song, and forgot how good the new light show was... just wow.

Would have been worth adding in the CE at least.

How/where do we provide Beta feedback?

Check the JJP beta thread, there’s info on how to join their Telegram channel in the first post

And if anyone figures out how to actually join please let me know! The info there might be outdated and email address referenced in the first post bounces. Sent pm to Keefer per LTG, no response.

Seems ambiguous and elusive.... Almost elite.

Huh I signed up not long ago. You emailed your Telegram user name to [email protected] and it bounced?

Just played It's So Easy tonight and you're right, it's cool but holy crap it was hard for me to keep track of the ball! Love that it seems interactive.

Also noticed that the match sequence has a light show now.

Yup, but I just emailed it again and it didn't bounce this time. Thanks. Let's see if it works. I appreciate the confirmation!

Nice catch on the match sequence, I didn't notice. I'll check that out!! Thx.
.
Thought the same thing about loving the interactive effects of it's so easy and I didn't feel totally in the dark when all lights went out because it's so brief that the effect was perfectly disorienting and seemed to be timed well but I have Pinstadiums also so there's that. I don't know what it looks like without them.

Ah, what could have been!

Can you take your other post where you mentioned the other details (VUK, subway entrances, etc) and combine it with the information in this post and make a new post? I keyposted that other post, but it would be silly to keypost this separately with part 2 documenting the rest of the "lost" GnR feature, so if you can make one new post with all the info of the feature, I can keypost just that one so it's all in one place.

You got my vote for GNR owners thread ambassador!
Thanks for sharing this and basically confirming this news that was previously just a logical deduction from beta releases. If the ISE light show, and equalizer are first fruits then I can only imagine what is in store with a production release!! Good times ahead!

I also asked him about adding new songs, he said that there is no intention now to add anything new. Slash wanted 34 songs in but they had to tell him that was not possible license wise. I also asked him for a way to play the end game because I will probably never get there in the game. He said that is on the table and possible to include in new code but it will not be available for the player immediately. You have to earn that right, he mentioned someting on time based (like half a year) or with patches I do not know. For the rest it was a great time hanging out with Eric, drinking some beers and talking pinball.

That's my biggest hope for the code update , to be able to play No Sympathy for the Devil .
Looks like a really fun mode with opposite flippers and such .
I understand the wizard mode is a reward for getting through everything , but it sucks one of the best modes will never be played by 95% of people .
I can't see the harm in having it available in the settings . They could have your score for that mode as visitor or tourist .
The more options the better .

Also, I hope pinball_keefer and/or whoever is revising the code fixes the wizard mode scoring. When Karl DeAngelo finished it he was let down that it wasn't very rewarding, score wise, even though the wizard mode itself was cool.

You would think the scoring should reflect the difficulty of getting there and completing it .
It took Carl something like 2 weeks to do the wizard mode on big buck hunter .
If it's so hard for one of the best players in the world to get there , 99% of people will never see it . Seems like a waste of time and effort coding it .

Well Eric told us that they are revising the code and scoring on album modes and things like Slash Solo since they see also it is skipped or not played since it is not worth the risk. Eric is still in close contact with Slash, they are still texting. Even when we were playing a game of Star Wars which he dominated he was just chatting with him.
