Mirror blades available at Tilt Graphics.

The speakers do not light up. They are just decals. If you want them to light up, get the Pinstadium Concert Edition! It adds a ton of light to the game in a great way.

Your Pyro switch behind the hat is rubbing. Just make a slight adjustment.

It is a HUGE improvement. Even though you disconnect the soundbar you will never miss it. Great bass increase but the clarity and sharpness the new tweeters bring is the biggest improvement.

You can but it will muddle the sound because you can’t replace the tweeters in the sound bar. I promise you will not miss it. Sound is louder and clearer even without it.

Can anyone advise what they use to clean the playfield?

Also, how do dark spots form on the pinballs. Should they be cleaned as well?

Thanks

Pacman11 - Pinwoofer’s kit is outstanding. Completely changed the game. I added a sub as well which puts it over the top but many may not feel the need. Cannot recommend this kit enough.

A number of balls required to trigger power cord will vary depending on circumstances before you start a song.

The New Ultra + Pinstadium Concert Editions are beyond description. I was lucky enough to be a recipient of the first run of 50 Concert Editions. They improved the game so much in every way. They did not change the light show that Eric designed - they enhanced it. Most criticisms I have read have never seen these in person. I cannot tell you how much these improve visibility and add to the WOW factor of this game. Then Scott went and added Ultra +. I am speechless with the impact these lights have on this game. It is really amazing. This and the Pinwoofer mod make this game off the charts and without comparison. Unlike other games where you have to elect what flasher to connect Pinstadiums to, these completely sync with the game in every way. I love them so much much I paid full price for the updates (and no I am not trying to sell my first set for $650). Please PM me if you need any other information. If you have GNR, you have to get these as soon as Scott makes them available again.

It doesn’t water down anything. It enhances everything. If you have not seen them in person, you have no clue what you are missing.

The pin woofer system improves the sound quality dramatically at all volumes. It’s an incredible difference.

I did not remove mine and have had no issues or rattles by leaving it in.

I just wanted to clarify that I replaced Lior's Backstage kit with Sven's. The problem you are experiencing is a major issue for Lior's design, but not Sven's. If you keep having this issue, you should contact Sven for a replacement as I have never had this issue with Sven's which is a far superior design to Lior's. I actually like Lior's amp a little better, but the frustration of the ball jamming as you pictured was just too much for me to tolerate anymore so a I switched to Sven's. Other than the look of the amp, Sven's kit is better in every way and is far more secure. It also allow the Xeno mounts to be installed for the PinStadium lights which Lior's does not.

Hope this helps all.

They work perfectly fine without issue.

How do we access any of the videos Eric showed were in the game?

The Xeno Mounts for the Pinstadiums totally work for me with Sven's kit. They do not work with LIOR's.

Also, if you have Pinstadiums, you will not need the extra spotlight on Axel. Those light him up pretty well.

Sven’s backstage kit is a better set. His amp mod will not interfere with the ball the way Liors can.

With the Pinstadiums, I have had the first run and still upgraded tot the Ultra plus in round two. I cannot tell you how much these add to the game. Also unlike other pin stadiums, these are synced completely to the game itself. The Xeno mounts are great but they will only work with Sven’s kit.

I have LIORS backstage set available for $250 unmodified.

Does anyone know exactly what activates the AXL magnet? How do you know when it is active?

Thanks

Thanks to all. Also which is the most complete code the latest beta or 1.25?

I am having an issue with the left guitar lock post. No matter what I do, it is starting in the down position at the start of every game. It will go up, but only after a ball has been locked on the other side. Then when it releases a ball it goes down and stays down releasing all balls.

Any ideas?

Thanks Chip. Merry Christmas.

I have not had any shooter lane issues and It’s So Easy rocks. It does get dark at times but appears to be by design to create contrast.

Are you playing with the stock rules or have you adjusted the rules for scoring? If so, what adjustments did you make?

You know the five minute method works without removing the upper playfield.

It was no issue on mine. The snubber piece is necessarily above the playfield as it rests on top of another metal piece.

This identifies an issue with the cable going into your main circuit board. Unplug and reinsert the mini usb cable. Many have had to use duct tape to make sure it stays in properly. That should fix your issue and the sensors should reactivate.

There are a lot of light show changes they do not mention. It’s so Easy is very different.

It lights a free ball for the right outlane.

I could not agree with you more. This is the biggest game changer of any of the settings that anybody has suggested. Just turning this off has totally reignited my love for this game and made it so much more consistent.

There is nothing like this game!!!

Why are you leaving the club?

So I have coil strength up, fans and precision flippers but I ordered the new board anyway. Will report back after I receive. I was able to confirm this board should create the same flipper response as Elton John. Stay tuned.

Because it increases power they are suggesting you lower the stock coil settings in the settings menu. Makes sense.

So here is my take on the Upgraded I/O Board. Picture of the two boards are below for those that asked for them. I have been playing this game for over 3 years and have precision flippers, PinMonk Fans throughout, Titan Rubbers and I had the left flipper turned up to 28, Right to 26 and upper right to 14. Like FooFlighter, I thought my GNR shot better than any other I have ever played. I have my GNR right next to my GZ Premium so I experience the Stern feel and difference on a daily basis.

I just installed the new board and played for an hour. The difference in power, response and precision is night and day. Its not just an increase in power but in responsiveness and feel. It is not the same as the stern flippers, but in some ways its just as responsive with better feel if that makes sense. I just played Elton John for a bit last week and my flipper do not feel significantly different even though I know that machine uses a different coil. Of course my precision flippers probably contribute to that. The power difference in orbit shots and the inner loop are the biggest difference. This allows for better combos. Backhanding the left and right ramps is also significantly improved.

This board has made the biggest difference in feel I have realized. For anyone that has made other changes its still worth it. If you haven't changed anything, this board is a must before you do anything else.

No one would complain about the flippers if this board had been included originally. I cannot say who confirmed this would be the result, but I was advised by someone inside JJP this would be the result. It was not "it may make a difference", I was assured "it will feel just like Godfather and Elton." They were 100% correct.

Start with one and make sure you like it.

I did on the right. Keeping left at 28 and upper right at 14. Love how it feels and allows backhands up the left at almost all times.

For all you have been through they didn’t give you the new board!!!

Swap out is fairly easy and takes less than fifteen minutes.

I echo atg1469. I am leaving it all in and am very happy with how it now shoots. I am not messing with it.

I have now played for a number of hours and difference is very noticeable. I also believe the pop bumpers have extra kick to them as well. The entire game is faster and smoother.

I know Little Shop of Games has tried the board out on numerous machines. My guess is those were tested without any other upgrades. Call Marshall there and he may be able to report regarding whether flipper fade has been reduced or eliminated.

I do not feel any difference from GF. As you said, it is the same board and coils. Should not be any different. Mine feel great!! I would give them a 9/10. Agree EJ is a little better. I don’t necessarily like Sterns flippers better.

I still have mine turned up, just not as much.

You can put it that way, but it’s really designed to be reversed with the plastic going over the top bumper so that ball can’t go on top of it

Keith Johnson stated this on the Open Beta site on Feb 22. He asked that folks submit high score screens for research purposes.

I can confirm it as a fresh quote because I sent him my high scores in response to his request just a few days ago.

I don’t appreciate being called a liar. Maybe if you signed up for the beta site you would know what you are talking about.

Remove the board and clean the areas with a qtip from underneath.

Then, make sure the small usb connector to the control board is securely in.

It is by far my favorite machine. With new I/o board and the new code updates, it has cemented itself as my favorite. I love my Godzilla as well, but there is a rush you get playing this game that no other can replicate. Highly recommend you get the Concert Edition Pinstadiums. It will blow your mind in person. Pinwoofer upgrade and Sub are a must for this game.

If you have only played the Se, then you have never really played the game. Completely different feel from the LE and CE.

GNR is my all-time favorite favorite Pin. That said, it does not fare well in a bar environment And it is a very deep game that’s not simple to learn just walking up and shooting. It’s great at home because you can never get tired of it because there’s so much variety and different ways to approach it. For a bar environment, though, Foo Fighters premium is really hard to beat. It’s easy to understand as you walk up to it and it’s fun to shoot. Once you change out the I/o board in GNR, GNR is a more fun to shoot with a wider variety of shots.

You’re not gonna be able to get a feel for how good GNR is by going to a location. You need to play one that’s had the new Io board put in.
