Could be the card or the image? Mine boots up like any other. 10 seconds of black screen and 25 or so seconds afterwards to be mostly ready

Happening to me as well. I have to do some maintenance this weekend on the machine so need to check if anything is bent. Wasn't like this at first, shots would just flow through.

Mine does. I haven't timed it but around a minute sounds right. When I first got it I actually thought it was broken as it took so long for anything to display or even act like it was on. I typically keep it on but if I'm not going to play for an extended period (which is rare) I turn it off and just know that it's going to take a minute or so before I can start playing.

My cheap owl, I think the owl is white, blue appearing from moonlight, so I compromised. Painted white, with a blue led strip above. He's 4" wide, not 2.6 as in pic. And I know he started life as a horned owl, but looks close enough to me

That looks great!

My Rush Pro comes in tomorrow. This game got me back into pinball. I had dozens of machines I bought/restored back in the 90s/early 2000s. Sold them off around 2010 as I moved and had no place to store or use them. Anyway, as much as I love pinball, Rush has been my band since the mid-70s. Seen them in concert dozens of times, including their 3rd to last concert in Vegas in 2015. Rush + Pinball is my dream combo, so of course, I’m back in the hobby now.

Anyway, while I doubt this will ever be acted upon, I wanted to add a few songs I’d love to see in a future firmware release. I’ve seen other similar lists in this thread, so perhaps Stern is taking notes. I realize there’s no way even a small number of these would make it. I’d be thrilled to have *any* on this list, honestly.

Additional songs:

Natural Science (pretty please!)
Xanadu
A Farewell to Kings
Bytor and the Snow Dog
The Necromancer (yeah, I know, never going to happen….)
The Pass
The Camera Eye
Witch-hunt
Presto
The Wreckers
Dreamline
Time Stand Still (bonus trivia: this is the only Rush song with a guest singer. Can you name him/her?)
Red Sector A

how much and when do they ship ?

Aimee Mann, singer of 'Til Tuesday

My Rush Premium shipped on Monday. Scheduled to arrive on Thursday.

Hi all, you guys have all the answers… so my question, Rush LE .93, when playing a game and the song selected at the beginning is over, it simply repeats. Is that a setting? I would presume it should simply roll to the next song? My Zeppelin does that. Thanks in advance for your input !!

Welcome back to pinball!

When I got back into pinball a few years ago I never dreamed Rush could happen. I sometimes still think it's a dream.

Although a long time pinball and Rush fan, I've never own a pin. I've contemplated it over the years, but once the Rush machine was announced it was a must have for me. I've had my LE now since early March and have probably played every day since. Definitely would love to see more music added but I'm sure due to licensing it will never happen. Really surprised as this is a time machine theme of their career that no songs from the 90's were included.

We are lucky to have 17 songs, im happy. Aerosmith has 7 or 8, same for metallica . This is the first stern to have so many.

Out of the box with my premium I was experiencing a lot of quick shots up the ramps returning to the left flipper and hitting the VUK wire form causing the ball to jump off to the playfield. 3D printed an arch cover that fits on the wire form entry to force the ball down and it has worked perfectly so far.

That’s a pretty impressive list, and Aimee Mann

Check the wireform for burrs. It shouldn't be hopping off there, even on a fast ball. It's not uncommon for stern to ship a pin with burrs or bumps in the wireform welds that cause the ball to hop. If you find that, it's a warranty issue and you won't need the arch.

Nop, it’s not a burrs problem in this case, I have had the same issue, when the ball goes fast at the end of the plastic ramp it does like a Springboard and the ball bounce, kick the VUK ramp and felt…to avoid that I’ve reduced the flipp power and now it’s rare…but this solution are really Ingenious, well done

Oups I did it again

May the 4th be with you guys..Love when Geddy says, "Pick a Planet, and No it can't be Tatooine!"

Thanks. Yeah I did check to see if the ramp had any bumps or if I could adjust anything but didn’t want to bend the ramp or end up breaking anything adjusting. Everything on mine looked similar to other pictures that I’ve seen. I like the game to play fast so I didn’t want to lower the flipper power to solve it. Tried this instead and it’s been working great. Ill try to get a video of the difference with and without.

Yeah, if you slo-mo record with a phone, you should be able to see where the ball is getting launched.

Anyone know if Cliffy is taking orders emailed him twice no response

After trying with the arch on and off and looking at the video it really seems like it is just going too fast to make the turn on the wireform.

Made a video of a couple shots with and without it. You can see the one is so bad it jumps right off and straight past the outlane. Once the arch is added it forces it down and the return is smooth to the left flipper. It does slow the ball somewhat but its not really enough to be an issue.

image (resized).jpg For those of you who have had issues with your right slingshot rubber breaking prematurely I just got a replacement O ring from Stern today and compared it to the replacement O ring I got from Titan Pinball. As you can see in the picture the Stern one fits inside of the Titan one even though they are supposedly both 2 inch O-rings

Here they are on the sizing chart in the manual

Hi, yep it’s normal just be patient, Cliff are really busy and responding after a few day’s, this is my second order with him and alway’s the best….

Awesome video, If I can give you some advice, for your arch, if you can do the entry like a cone it will guide the ball smoothly in the center to prevent it from hitting the angle of the arch.

What does everyone have their flipper strength set to? I lowered them a bit and still everything feels so violent, especially into that front scoop

Try the Ninja scoop cover. Quiets the blows and helps keep the balls from getting scratched up.

Our LE was the first to land .I could tell right away it was going to be a good one even though it was playing clunky and slow .My kids didn’t like it so much at this point.It took some time to get it dialed in with pitch and leveling but when I found the sweet spot it was glorious .I have not done anything else but that and now the kids won’t get off it and Holy Shit my wife is now playing it .She has not liked any we’ve had since I sold our WOZRR.This truly is a masterpiece and we applaud all involved in its creation .Team Borg has made many pinheads dreams come true .I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done .Rush is here to stay

Can someone tell me what each of the three lights on the time machine mean? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Green means MB ready ,Red means Mode is ready and yellow means collect combo jackpot .

Man, game has been kicking my ass the last few nights. Love the mode objectives, but they're freaking WORK to get through, at least for me. I could deal with a shorter workday for Working Man lol. I can tell once I dial in the shots this thing will be butter, but it's a bit of a grind til then. Anyone else feel the same or am I just bricking too much?

There's no way to tell what the root cause is using this video. You HAVE to shoot in slo-mo on the phone at max res (no need for the full playfield shot or other stuff that doesn't diagnose the problem, it just wastes pixels that could go to the trouble area), minimum of 1080p, so you have enough FPS to slow it down even further in post and resolution so the ball isn't a blur. I tried taking your video and slowing it down, but at 5% speed that's only about 1.5 FPS that way, which means the ball leaps 4-6" at a time, making diagnosis impossible.

I didn’t even realize it at first, but my game wasn’t registering the inner loop shot. The fix is to bend the switch up so it sits higher on the playfield. Remove the switch held on by two screws, while holding the switch in the down position with one finger, squeeze the rounded part with your other hand so it make a slightly higher arch. Registers 100% now. It’s the exact same problem that occurs on the mando hairpin turn.

Except you may have just created a trap for slow rollers... Ask me how I know.

The last week or two have seen some of my lowest scores ever. I brick a lot lately, maybe I'm just tired from work.

Had a couple of good games 2 weekends ago, I feel like I am very inconsistent with this game. I got to get better!

good point. played for about an hour last night and didn't have any ball traps. Will keep an eye on it. My pitch is at a little over 7. Same for mando, never had a ball trap after adjusting the switch. Also, I would just note that I am not talking about making it a big arch, just a slight bend so it's maybe a millimeter or so higher and make sure the switch still moves freely when pushed down. if it's dragging at all, that would create a ball trap.

Hey guys, my game boots up pretty quick...40 seconds. I was poking around the adjustments and noticed I'm on "Fastboot". By chance is yours not set to this. You can find it on the "S.P.I." screen, #59.

Something to look at...hope it's that simple. Cheers.

I tested Rush and Godzilla yesterday on 1 power switch,they both took the same amount of time to boot

This is a good reason to strategically stack modes -- I usually try to start a Song Mode and a Multiball at the same time, or at least start a song mode and then try to get a Multiball going. You'll hit a lot more of the shots for the Song Mode in much shorter time/effort.

ICYMI, that's what a lot of discussion here has been about, reference use of MRS switch, felt strip, clear lane cover, and/or ninjacamp lane guide thing. Happy to hear yours seems to work with the adjustment; you may want to look through some of previous posts to assess the other options just in case you do end up with ball traps!

OK, with .93 the Skill Shot has changed:

- Skill Shot:
- Changed the skill shot logic to disable the skill shot opportunity if
the ball rolls over the top shooter lane switch twice.

Twice is weird because it is up and back if you get it that high in the shooter lane. Sometimes the ball will rattle in the shooter lane and it really isn’t me at all. I don’t like it and as far as I can tell there is no adjustment to turn it back on. Thoughts?

Edit: added code callout, still don't like it

Happened to me too.

Push through it,
Because what’s on the other side is Combo heaven. The slump helped me figure out some of the tougher shots I was struggling with.
Pleasant surprise.

Yeah that's the toughest one for sure. Each shot is 10 minutes. So 6 shots for 1 hour and 8 hours to go through. That's 48 completed shots that are lit! I've only gotten through Working Man once. I think that's a bit excessive for a mode compared to say Spirit of Radio that's only 5 shots and super easy with the VUK wireform feeding the right flipper. They need to knock WM down to something more reasonable.

I feel like I need to post an update. Stern’s parts department did come through for me, and I got some nice email responses. And I did get a tracking number the day it shipped out. I think they were just waiting for inventory to come in. I need to learn to be more patient.

Got the call that my RUSH Prem is in for pick-up, but that it was shipped/delivered without the expression lighting I had specified.

Unsure what to do, but will chat this thru before I head off to Portland for pick-up

Got the call and email today, my Aug-Sept run wait, was just sped up 3-4 months. Glad I was prepared just in case, lol. Should be here next week.

For others that have been told a later date, you might want to prepare, in case yours is ready earlier than expected. Again, mine is 3-4 months earlier than what I was told.

And while I wait, I’ll figure out a place for this, might even become my topper. It was my anniversary gift from my wife yesterday. I love it!

From my understanding, expression lights were only available for the LEs when shipped, any add on sets haven’t been released yet. Unless something’s changed.

Oh I certainly try! And I try to stack weapons too, but then I end up draining while I chase combos lol. I may be pitched too high - did a quick app read at lunch and it was 7.5. Need to knock it down closer to 7.

Right? Once you <Geddy voice>do the math</end Geddy voice> on some of the modes it really does add up. Limelight also has a lot of shots required.
