Ottawa, ON
Anybody order from a distributor today? Wondering what timing is looking like for deliveries now. Gotta save up a bit more but want to get in line. Need a few months. Wondering if they are weeks or months out at this point.

Quoted from Vespula:Check if you like Multiballs first,
You think?
Because you don't know if someone will sell you one, or because you haven't played it and heard it had playfield problems, or what is the dealio here? What is it that makes you want one?
I'm sold on the game. I meant more along the lines of technical issues with the game to be on the lookout for. I have a deal tentatively worked out but not 100% done is why I say "I think". I want to see the game in person and make sure there aren't any issues.
Quoted from PinMonk:Yeah. Playfield issues really dropped off significantly after about Sept 2021 builds.
For the spotlights, the servos are essentially consumables, so they all have a pretty equal chance of wearing out, it's just a matter of how much time has been put on the game with them running.
You CAN test the servos in test, but it's easier just to get in a song and see how they move since the movement is much more vigorous in songs.
Oh, and check to see that the AXL magnet can grab the ball and doesn't have a blown thermal switch which makes the magnet not work.
Thanks so much for all the info. Cheers.
So last week I was asking about what to be on the lookout for on a used GnR LE. The pooling at the posts was one of the things that I was told to check. The game I purchased was built in March of 2022. For everyone's benefit, I wanted to let you know that the seller informed me that the game came with the post washers straight from the factory. Not sure if this is why we stopped seeing the issues with pooling on later run games or not but I wanted to pass this along.

Quoted from MadMaxDad:Has anybody tried the PinStadium Concert version for GnR?
I got a set in a trade. That version will work in GnR or TS4? haven’t installed it yet.
Curious if it’s “too much” when combined with the built in lights.
Tried it at expo this year. It's a ton of lights! Really amazing stuff. That being said, it is a lot. If you're the type that enjoys the specialty pin stadiums though I think you'd like it.

Quoted from Vespula:Ditto. Friday I think. Neo atoms.
My original Pinstadiums will be up for sale once I get the new ones on.
You'll prob beat me to the install -if so post up later.
I don't think mine will be here this week. Probably next week. I'll get some pics when they're installed
Quoted from fnosm:My headphone jack wasn't properly plugged in.
Take a look at the back of the jack to make sure it is connected (correctly.)
Thank you. I'll double check this.

Quoted from Breadfan:I used the xeno mounts on my neo atom concert set & mine are straight & snug next to the cabinet. Not sure why others look saggy....
[quoted image]
Yours look a lot tighter to the cabinet. I'll have to play with mine to see if I can adjust them. I hadn't noticed the level being the wrong way. I'll spend some time on it this weekend. Thanks.

Quoted from Vespula:It's loose. Not the playfield fault, imo.
You can see the black washer looks like it's moving.
You can fix that. Remove both the washers, get clear petg, maybe even slightly bigger than the black, remove the metal washer. Throw it away. Get a 6 tooth t-nut to replace the 4 tooth.
Lightly start warm it up and smooth it out. Now Put the clear on, no metal washer, tighten down with new 6 tooth t-nut just to the point the washer starts to lift at the edges.
Did that and it's still good to this day.
Want the quick and dirty way Just take it apart smooth it all out with some low heat slowly take your time, throw the metal washer away Just use the black one, put the good side down tighten it until it starts to lift a little bit and keep an eye on it.
There's other variations but that first recommendation is what I did and it worked for me.
PS I've got some extra clear PETG washers I can send you in the mail. And six teeth t-nut. Glad to send you both
I checked the post. It's tight. I will probably try what you suggested but the pooling isn't because the post is loose.
Quoted from Vespula:It's in settings of the game to enable beta. And yes.
Utilities - NETWORK settings - advanced settings - under updates there is a beta opt in
Thank you very much!

Quoted from Lermods:Installed the shooter lane cliffy protectors tonight. Not the easiest task, but not too bad.
1. Remove the apron and carefully rest it on top of the playfield. It's held on with two screws and two nuts underneath. Can't say I like this design, but it's ok.
2. Remove the shooter mechanism and rest it on the support rail.
3. Remove the first four screws of the rail so you can pull up the light rail enough to slide the protector under it being careful not to crack it. The screws holding the light rail down are long so you have to pull the rail up quite a bit to slide the cliffy under it.
Trough side protector is pretty standard, just three easily accessible screws.
Took me about 30 mins.

Thanks for posting this. Cliff didn't have the GnR instructions on his site and this was helpful.

I too love this game

Quoted from Dashmonster:Curious did you go with the new bracket system with keyed shafts? I just did mine without the extra kit and I wish I wouldn’t have. Like he says in the thread newer JJP games clamps have really cheap metal and squeeze to deformity. I am going to order the new style brackets for GnR when I order the kit for WoZ but in the mean time I made my own keys and they seem to be working pretty good in the old clamps
[quoted image]
I didn't get new brackets. Just the flipper, shaft and bushings. I was able to tighten the stock bracket tight enough that, so far at least, they haven't moved. I will update again in 50 or so games and see how they've faired.

Quoted from SDVmnt:I want to order Precision Flippers. Someone talk me off of the ledge.
Yolo. Do it. I installed the halos on my game. Love them.
Quoted from mostater:Someone installed the black halos with red rubbers and it looked stunning. I don't recall if it was in this thread or the precision flippers thread. Adding the bushings should make them a bit more snappy, too. Sorry...this was probably more of push rather than talking you down.
Here's my post about it

After playing about 50 games with the new halos, I will likely be going to keyed shafts as well. I have noticed even after tightening things really well the flippers do end up drifting slightly and it changes the angles. I will be upgrading to keyed shafts as soon as I can.
