Well, I watched the videos and decided I was in on a LE. Deposit paid. I am not the biggest GNR fan and was not sure if I would buy this pin, but the videos were enough. I like the idea of being at the concert. I was going to wait for the live stream but wanted it sooner rather than later.

EDIT: misread the post.

Yeah, a lot!

Edit: and that is coming from someone who owns one!

I ordered an LE. Have not spoken with my distributor about it. I think I am just going to wait for them to surprise me when it’s ready to be delivered!

I am curious to know what albums people are receiving in their new pin? Pictures of one would be nice.

I called and spoke with my distributor today. He stated that JJP was hoping to provide delivery estimates and numbers this Friday to distributors. More to follow. Just running rough estimates based on passed releases, I am looking at a few weeks wait for my LE. I purchased mine early and am in the first third of the waiting cue.

Yes, #15 out of 45 on the wait list for an LE from my distributor.

Edit: so if my distributor is receiving 5 LE’s every 2 weeks, then it will be approximately 6 weeks before I see my LE.

Have you by chance ever ordered anything from them? I presume they will deliver to the U.K.?

The display should have its own control panel on the back of the display. You can adjust the displays settings with it. Just like a computer monitor. My WOZ has one. I have used it too adjust the screen.

I agree with this

Will your playfield move to the right? Check if it is centered in the box or to one side.

I think it is post 987 on page 20

That is your Subconscious! Ha ha ha just kidding

With built in wifi and a plug in camera, LTG could connect via zoom and help you fix it via a conference call! I like this idea. Personal tech support.

Don’t worry, it’s only a name change on your pay statement!

No, nothing that compares to yours. While the sheep (people) have been grazing in the fields, the wolves (corporations) have been slowly taking back control.

Could you post a link for the mod? I didn’t see/couldn’t find the mod here on pinside. Thanks

Well, I have been informed by my distributor that my LE is on its way and should arrive in the next few weeks. I ordered it on 6 October.

My response was from my distributor. Not JJP. Time frame was provided and no final payment requested yet. I presume my distributor will not ask for final payment until it is being shipped or it has been received.

Zero dollars for additional songs. Please do not open this Pandora’s box! If you do, you will be paying for all sorts of things that one would expect to receive when you first bought the game. Look what has happened to video games as an example.

Now, if some other company wants to sell additional songs and code, that is a different animal.

632 LE is in its new home!

Went through it with a fine toothed comb before playing. Everything worked as expected and every nut and screw was checked. Yes, I go through my new games and tighten everything before playing. It is a QC thing.

One minor issue that needed adjusting was the 2nd inlane rollover from the left. The ball kept getting stuck between the metal divider and the rollover. I looked at it closely to figure why it was this way. I also noticed that the rollover would not lay completely flat like the others when compressed by the ball. It stuck up about 1 mm. So I looked at the switch assembly under the playfield and noticed that the rollover arm was ever so slightly bent upwards where it connected to the switch. Used needle nosed pliers to bend it flat and problem solved.

It came with 1.19 installed. Setup my wifi and downloaded 1.21 without any issues other than it reset my time zone back to Chicago! Hopefully, over time it will like it’s new time zone and stop trying to change back.

Now I just need to figure out the rules!

Questions...

My RRWOZ came with a rubber strip along the front edge of the top of the backbox so you can lean the playfield against it and prevent damage. My GnR did not come with this rubber strip. Does anyone have the rubber strip installed or did they not include it on GnR?

Does JJP sell touch up bottles of paint to match the trim? I have a minor nick near the shooter rod cover and it would be nice if I could touch it up. It is a minor defect when originally painted.

The left ramp diverter nuts were loose. I see that there is about a quarter of an inch available in the adjustment range. I was just wondering if there is a desired position of the diverter in this range?

I do not use the bubble level and decided to remove it since it is above the lights.

Awesome machine and theme! Thumbs up to JJP and the team!

My GnR does not show the values for the presets. Is this normal for GnR or just my machine? My WOZ shows all of the values on these screens.

For Q1...check out this post in the CE thread. Personally I think it is stupid to have two threads with different key posts that are helpful. There are some other adjustments under the playfield. My diverter rotates within the ramp opening. I never noticed if any of my balls get rejected like you mention.

As far as Q2 is concerned. I would contact your distributor and JJP. I am sure they would send you the screws free of charge under warranty. They look like small metal screws. You might be able to find them at HD or Lowe’s. They are lightly smaller than the ones in my 1st picture.

That sucks. Can you run a LAN cable directly to the machine? I have read about people doing that rather than wifi.

Who did you order from if you don’t mind me asking?

What about a small piece of foam (like door insulation foam) cut to the size you need with one side using double stick tape? It should help level out the gap. Firm foam if you can find it.

Then it is easy to remove and replace.

I have the same issue with mine.

Keys should be on the coin Mechs on the inside of the door. Otherwise, look everywhere. Maybe they fell off.

Depends what code you are on when updating. If you are on 1.19 you can use wifi. Some of the codes in the teens broke the wifi.

Memorize the order of the patches and learn the colors displayed in the button. That will help some.

Nothing more frustrating than losing a 17M jackpot!

This is something I need to experiment with. Thanks for mentioning it.

Any idea what Melissa’s Tour item does?

Yes, if the jackpot is high enough that I do not want to lose it.

Not that I am aware of.

I just tested my spotlights, the linkage on each one of them is broken. 5 days old on my machine. I will contact my distributor.

I bet a lot of owners never notice that the lights stop moving up and down. They still move left and right.

Like he said... Use your Illusion II Album - Cannon Can Wrap Around in Tear Down the Wall

Nice to hear more people liking the kit. I ordered mine last week and it is supposed to show up this week. For a music pin, one would think they would install a better sound setup. I am surprised Slash didn’t’ encourage them to make it sound better. I am also surprised they are not selling a subwoofer add on kit.

I wholeheartedly agree with your statements.

My playfield looks great. Clear washers under the sling posts. Small metal washers under some of the rails. I can live with it. Better than pooling or chipping. And any dimples from the balls is unnoticeable. You can feel a few if you run your palm across the playfield. Funny, but this is the first playfield I received with no manufacturer date on the side. Must be under the apron?

Hey it has two spinners!

It sure is! I like the jackpot feature. You feel the pain of losing a multimillion point jackpot and the glory of obtaining a multimillion jackpot. Got my first 50M+ jackpot last night! Not sure when I will get another. But the risk/reward structure is great. I look forward to potential future updates along this line of scoring.

I also like the change up with the multi-balls. Being able to flipper hold during certain multi-balls and being forced to try not to flipper hold during songs. It makes you change your technique throughout the game.

I think this game has made me a better player!

Distributor on day 2 I believe. At this point, my GNR is never leaving. It is married to WOZ.

So...the balls coming from the guitar lock go straight down the middle about 50% of the time while playing. More I believe from the left than the right side. Has anyone come up with a fix yet?

The machine is level and it occurs less in test mode then when I am playing. It is annoying to lose balls with no ball saver running. The balls also appear to bounce off of the lower ramp assembly they have installed. I cannot figure out what is causing them to go down the middle.

Both of my spot lights pivot arms broke. After investigating the issue, I believe the wires going to the lights didn’t have enough slack and put extra pressure on the arms/linkage causing them to break. I know others have had the arms break. When you install the new lights, I would make sure there is enough slack in the wires to allow the lights to move the full spread and not break the arms again.

Thanks, I will give both a try.

One thing I noticed while playing is that the ball on the left lock will bounce to the right when the left diverter fires. I am not sure if the diverter is firing much when I have balls locked and being released. I thought maybe the bounce from the diverter might be occurring when the balls are being released causing them to go down the middle.

So was like 8pm your time when it arrived?

You will be having fun this evening!

No, not on mine. The right orbit shots never hit the left sling. It might happen on occasion on the right sling, but I think it only happens at one particular ball speed and that is a slow/medium speed. And not often. Most orbit shots rocket around the field and you have to be ready for them.

No

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I would check the wires going to the lights to ensure they have enough slack. Mine were somewhat tight and this leads me to believe this is what caused the linkage to my lights to break.

You might want to reroute the wiring so that stress is not put on the linkage.

I agree with your last two items. Those appeal to me. But I like the patches being in the order they are. Makes it more challenging to remember them while playing.

I am curious to why some machines do not have this issue. What is different? I have not had a ball get stuck there. Center spinner once in a while traps a ball.

Well, it finally happened to me! At least it was early in the game. Ball 1.

I recently received my game and the only issue I have had that required support were my spot lights. But like others have said, I do not notice while playing. I am just glad I have zero playfield issues. That would concern me most. So far, no wrinkles…I use dryer sheets. No pooling…I stick to the ocean. No planking, dimples, etc. JJP did install a few washers. But they do not bother me. Along with my WOZRR, this is another home run for JJP. It’s a keeper!

I am looking forward to some more updates to the software.

Shhhh…only when I take the glass off!

I do not know what is coming. But I know one of the album modes is not finished and I know they are working on adjusting some system settings. There is another thread for the beta testers that might contain more information. I do not read it. I will find the thread and post the link.

Here is the link… https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/jjp-open-beta-program

I believe I put in my warranty request shortly before you did. I have a package arriving from JJP via UPS today that I suspect are my replacement lights. So yours should be arriving soon.

On my pin, the vertical arms on both lights broke within 5 days. I know they were working fine when I received my pin because I tested them out before I even played a game. 5 days later I was testing things out again and noticed that the left one was not moving as described. Then I checked the right spot light and it also was not moving as expected.

I have learned to test everything when I receive my pin and then around a week later, go back and test things again so that I can find issues while they are under warranty and fix things before they become a bigger issue. Things break. It is a new feature and I want to make sure everything is working as it is designed to.

Based on your comments, I might wait and see if they produce a code update to the spot lights before I install the replacements. I thought I read somewhere that they were looking to do this. Update the spot light code.

I do not have any pins with light up flipper buttons yet. I might have to try those.

I see that they sell several models. Do you remember which model you purchased?

Replacement spot lights arrived!

Thank you very much! Now I just have to figure out what color I desire.

Been reading your posts. I bet we ordered from the same distributor.

A few of my posts also had some paint issues under the washers. I bought some nylon washers from Lowe’s to keep the metal washers from digging into the paint.

I think it would be cool if the flipper buttons changed colors to the songs like all of the other lights!

I know where two are located…

That sucks. I was a day 2 order and I received mine a few weeks back.

You guys down under just better hope the container does not fall off the boat! Odds are against it. You have a better chance of winning the lottery.

But it is amazing how many containers fall off ships every year. One study stated on average 568 containers fall off ships every year.

Question about your lighting colors. Cool vs warm. Do you know what color JJP has installed in the machines? I would like to compare the current color to yours so I know which is which. If that makes any sense! Is JJP’s color warm or cool? Thanks

Ditto what he said! Would be helpful to have them labeled in some way.

Never mind! Emily Litella

On my machine, I can backhand the left ramp up just up past the upper flipper and under the gate. But it will not make it straight through to the guitar lock. That I can only do with the right flipper.

I do not believe he has shipped any yet. With everything going on in his neighborhood, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are delayed for a bit. I have ordered a set. He posted an update in his GNR mods thread a day or two back. I would check there for the last update.
