Quoted from paulbaptiste:
I have that same problem for drains off the left side of the guitar lock. Consistently SDTM when released. The right side seems to push the ball away from the center while the left is straight down the middle.
From watching your videos it looks like the balls trajectory is changed once it falls down onto that step beneath it. After investigating the issue on my own machine I believe the ball is hitting the ramp support before it drops to the playfield. This is pushing it back towards the middle and causing the drains (at least on my machine).

Does the ball land on the play field or bump off of something on the way down?

I have connected subwoofers to my pins for years. Makes a big difference in sound particularly music pins.

If you want to Macgyver it and save money but still reap the benefits of great sound and better low end, a low cost solution is using a crossover capacitor ($2) and running speaker wires from the pins sub to an external sub. As well, you can connect 2 pins to 1 sub for a extra cost savings solution.

Quoted from PtownPin:Its all about increasing profits... its great for existing owners...not so great for new buyers.....so is this gonna be JJP LE pricing in the future or only on games that sell well? A.... so are future CE's now gonna be $15K ? I'm sure when the dust settled they sat around the table and wished they priced it higher

Considering the CEs sold out in 2 hours, yeah, you can bet they figured they left money on the table...

Quoted from screaminr:
If I had to guess , I would say that they have sold more pins than they thought they were ever going to make , so why not put a extra thousand bucks on them , it's all gravy from here .
It sucks if you wanted one and haven't got around to putting in your order .
I've heard they have already sold over 3,500 games . GNR will sell out .
After running at a loss for so long , it's time to cash in .

3500!!! When I saw their Limited number was 5000, I thought they'd NEVER hit that, and it was an open ended number, but a number to call it a Limited. If that's the case, no wonder they have raised the price - and hopefully they will develop a fund for customers with play field issues. I have to admit, this will be my first JJP purchase after owning Stern and CGC. Ive been interested in JJP for some time and tried to buy Dial In, Hobbit and POTC on the used market. They have either been unavailable or WAY too expensive, POTC in mind. So, when I put my deposit down in December it was after I saw that Meunier was behind it and thought, just get it, since it too will be difficult/impossible to find in the used market. I guess we will see.

Quoted from Pinball-Obsessed:
I have these on mine, they look great! Just a reminder to everyone though... there’s barely any room between cabinet and playfield so my blades got nicked right away. That sucked! Oh well, I need some of the blade protectors now.
Here are some pics;

Great pics!! I like the art of those side blades, just not the "legendary" writing on it... Picky, I know...but those pics make it look really nice, thanks

Quoted from Pinball-Obsessed:
So super easy and worth it to remove. There’s usually plenty of wiring to remove it but you just have to keep it close to the machine. Also, you just need a second pair of hands. My 12 year old has helped me before and my wife helped me on GNR.
Here’s a pic of mine with playfield removed. Tool chest is the perfect height and size for it.[quoted image]

I have that tool chest. When you pull out the play field where do you hold it?

I've done 8 sideblades with play field up in the past, but thinking mirrors so this is an option!!

Quoted from Shredso:
I agree completely. I don't understand why they would ruin an otherwise great looking blade with that huge text.

I actually reached out to tilt asking if they can do a version without "legendary" on it...

Quoted from TJG81296:
I had an unfortunate mishap. Went off the end of the rail. Seems like a stop is missing.
[quoted image][quoted image]

How many times have I pulled a play field back with a new machine expecting the stop to be there? EVERY time. Yours is no disgrace my friend. Someone should be getting their ass kicked for this oversight!!

Quoted from DrJoe:
Super-Bands outlast any/all silicone.

True!! But, not the same feel. But that being said I put super bands on games that are fast and furious since you don't need the extra bounce.

Hoping someone with make a video of the removal of the upper playfield to install the Cliffy. I'm a bit nervous to do this without a guide.

Ohh, I would love to see a guide to that as it seems that cliff's are a must and can be complex to install

Looks like tilt graphics had to pull the poster graphics they had on their legendary sideblades. Was the best part of the side blades. Still hoping that new ones come out

New GnR owner here, finally. Has anyone had problem with one of the guitar head release rods engaging (dropping) repeatedly and getting points with no play taking place. It seems to only happen on game start-up. No errors are registering.

Quoted from rrosenhouse:
When you hit the hole for the bass ramp, is it quickly scoring and kicking the ball up to the bass ramp, or is it sitting in there for many seconds and starting a ball search?
Go into switch test and put a ball in there.

It's scoring it and kicking...I did the switch test and it worked. Then played a ball and it registered. Is there a time it doesn't register on purpose, like during a multiball?
