Quoted from Arcade:

Couple of quick questions.
And is the girls voice in the game callouts Melissa from the band or a voice actor?

Unless I misunderstood, I saw a video of an interview with the game developers of GNR that the girl's voice on the callouts is actually a band member.

I've had a LE on order since Jan 31 through a FL dealer. Has anyone heard if these will be built and shipped anytime soon? I do have a email into the dealer I bought through. However you guys seem to know the latest.

I've searched through this thread but there are sooooo many posts.

Quoted from pinballj:

I think it will really come down to what your distro says, as it doesn't seem like communication/expectations set by JJP is any good. I am a mid Oct order through FlipNOut, which Zach said maybe end of July the last time I bugged him, if that helps any.

Thanks brother! I'll just wait till I hear from the distro then. Last time I asked they said this past April.

Quoted from rapidflipper:

Exact same situation on my machine! The scoop feed has slowly drifted toward the center. It still hits the tip of the left flipper, but needs attention soon.

I got my GNR a couple weeks ago. July Build Date.

I am having the exact same Center Scoop SDTM issue. First dozen games I didn't notice any of this but now it's SDTM each time the center scoop ejects.

I raised the flipper power only about 2 levels and now it's hitting just the tip of the left flipper (most of the time).

There seems to be no real solution other then try to get the scoop hood as left as possible and maybe stick a target foam on the right inside of the scoop hood. I still need to try that.

Has anyone had success in getting this scoop's eject to hit the left flipper?

This issue reminds me of my Star Trek 25 Annv's right eject scoop shooting the ball SDTM. I still havent found a way to fix that one. Ugh!

Quoted from deejaypee:

You must have some magical nut drivers. I wanted so much for mine to fit in there but I couldn’t make it happen. Been waiting for another reason to remove the upper pf before I tried adjusting my hood again.

Thanks guys for the center scoop adjustment tips. It'll be a couple days before I can try them. I'll report back!

Everyone of my friends who plays this pin absolutely loves it. At least until the ball shoots down directly between the flippers. How embarrassing and frustrating.

JJP didn't do a very good job of playtesting and adjusting my July '21 build date GNR. I had many adjustment I had to do.

One adjustment I haven't gotten to yet is the ball lunch gate. This gate is suppose to keep the ball from rolling back into the shooter lane. However about 3/4 of the time the ball sneeks back under it from the Skill Shot area. Ugh! I don't know if the gate is too high or it just bounces and lifts the gate a little and allows it through. The result is many relaunches of the same ball from the auto shooter from the shooter lane . Any ideas on this?

Hi all. I have a question. I've got a GNR LE. Love it. While reading the differences between the Standard and the LE versions on JJP's website they feature and say that the LE has a "Gibson Headstock Upper Playfield with 6 Ball Lock". It looks like the Standard version has this also. If so what's the difference?

#22312 1 year ago

Hi everyone.

First I want to say thanks for the answers I got on my question about the differences on the PF between the Standard and LE pins. The pictures from MIKEPMCS really helped.

Second, I have another question. LOL.
on my LE GNR, when the ball ejects from the center scoop it goes to the tip of the left flipper. it's hard to catch before it goes SDTM and still sometimes it does. Frustrating. I have gone under the PF, loosened and moved the scoop as far as it will go pointing left. Before the adjustment it was shooting SDTM most of the time. Is there an easy fix to get it shooting more to the center of the flipper that I'm missing? Thanks for any ideas in advance.

Quoted from glpinball:

Search this topic, there's likely even a sticky on it. It's been asked and answered dozens of times.
Short version: washers under left side of scoop, foam right side of scoop, loosen and turn top eject piece to left, retighten.

Thanks! Will do.
