And where are you getting it done?

who are you using to get it done?
Quoted from usafstars:And where are you getting it done?
I've used Robert stone here on 3 pins, highly recommended. I was thinking of a copper color as well, I'll let weir be the tester!

Local place - Killer Koatings, been doing business with Kenny since he started in his garage.

Good choice as well, bought his DP pro that he had decked out - super nice job and a great guy.
Picked up a pro today and I will be making a replacement metal left ramp that will be two pieces. The first will be the ramp to behind the time machine and then a seperate wireform that connects to that and goes to return lane. I have made a different style of metal ramps that are a mix of stainless steel plates and rods. I will try to incorporate a design in the rods and or plate. I just need to research Rush a bit as I am not too familiar with them. Here are a few examples of the star wars and mando ramps I am making in progress. I look forward to doing another plastic ramp replacement mod. I will create its own topic soon and post the link here. Any interest in this mod please pm me as I will be starting a list. Thanks and I hope its ok to plug the up coming mod here.

Mines going in for powder along with my DP premium.

I really liked the satin armor on the LE when I had it. It was a nice change.
The lord’s work right here.
Quoted from Big_Whoopin:So as I hadn't seen this posted yet and it isn't in the official rulesheet, I spent some time with the glass off to figure out the 1-2-3 album combos. Each unique pattern is a different album. The shorthand I've used for indicating these (I don't know if this is "pinball standard" abbreviation) is:
LO = Left Orbit
IL = Inner Loop
DE = Dead End (or VUK)
SP = Spinner
RR = Right Ramp
RO = Right Orbit
So, the patterns in album release order are:
LO-IL-LR = RUSH
LO-LR-DE = Fly By Night
RR-RO = Hemispheres (I'm thinking this is a bug and there should be a third shot)
SP-IL-LR = Permanent Waves
RR-SP-IL = Moving Pictures
RR-SP-LR = Signals
SP-IL-IL = Power Windows
DE-LO-LR = Vapor Trails
DE-LO-IL = Snakes and Arrows
SP-LR-DE = Clockwork Angels
I also found that the 1-2-3 inserts will flash at a speed to indicate if you still have an album to collect there. A rapid flash means there is still something to collect, a slow flash/fade means you've already collected that pattern. I *think* completing the same album pattern again will still increase the award when albums are collected via the time machine, but didn't pay close enough attention to that. A good strategy might be to target collecting Moving Pictures early as it will give you The Weapon or add a ball for three modes (Limelight, Red Barchetta, Tom Sawyer) and Permanent Waves next as it will give you two (Spirit of Radio, Freewill).
This was all tested on a pro model with 0.93. Use this information for good, not evil!
Quoted from Craiger:The lord’s work right here.
You can also find a convenient chart here: http://tiltforums.com/t/stern-rush-rulesheet/7409#heading--albums
Something I'd like to see added is text with which songs relate to the album when you collect it. I'm not great at remembering which song is on which album so it would be a convenient reminder of which songs might be worth playing if you noticed you got the Album for it already.
Quoted from DrDQ:My guess is it is easier as you have side walls to keep the ball in there. I have a bit of a tough time making the front scoop shot with the Ninja.
Yeah, it seemed much easier on mine than my friend's machine. I think I'm going to keep it on for a while. LOL.
Oakville, ON
I thought I would go a different route with the red barchetta. I like the work the modders have done, but I wanted my barchetta small or specifically the time machine big in scale compared to the barchetta and thought it would be fun looking like it is racing to go through the time machine...

Those rims would look great on any pin!
Quoted from flynnibus:You should look for a physical problem like your scoop coils being loose or something. Check the movement of those plungers for free movement. Make sure your hole protectors are properly flat against the edges
Thank you I will work on this asap.
the game when working properly is so fun, thank you for this info.
Quoted from Animal:Wow, new code!
[quoted image]
Looks like the topper isn’t too far behind since the code notes specify something about the topper… cool!
Quoted from jid:Looks like the topper isn’t too far behind since the code notes specify something about the topper… cool!
Yeah they mention topper motor switches. So something will be moving…rotating drum kit?
Quoted from redbarchetta:Long-time Rush fan, first-time poster. Apologies if this has been asked before, but I didn't see any mention in this thread. Just received my Premium and noticed that the ball will jump the left-return rail with a strong shot on the right/steel ramp that runs behind the back cabinet (with diverter inactivated). Ball ends up careening back onto the playfield as a result. I lowered flipper strength down to 225, which seems to resolve *some* of those shots, but not all of them (a good flush hit will still cause it). What could be causing this?
I have this problem as well and lowered my flipper strength to 225 as well. Doesn't happen as often now and I've decided to not worry about it until some of my other issues are fixed (all fairly minor). I might try going even lower...the ball is just flying all over the place more than other Sterns I've owned.
As for what's causing it? The flippers on this game are just wildly strong and the ramp design/turns can't handle the velocity. Ball velocity is also a problem for the inner loop shot (where the ball skips over the switch). Some folks installed felt I believe to slow the ball down and keep it on the PF.

I've been trying to source a 2nd set of all my metal so I don't have to strip all of the original parts. I was looking at color options and am leaning towards this:
https://www.prismaticpowders.com/shop/powder-coating-colors/PMB-2749/black-bronze-ii
I was going to order some sample swatches from prismatic powders since it's really hard to get a feel for what something really looks like from the computer images most of the time
Quoted from Dkjimbo:Awesome!!! Just got a premium this week and loving it! When will the expressions lighting kit be for sale?
No ETA sadly - hope this summer sometime!

My guess is a working top part of the time machine that displays the current time travel year.

I hope its Neil's drum kit, big miss if it isn't. I'll still buy tho
Quoted from JohnTTwo:So can one have their distro come out and fix the scoop issue?
Thanks
Yep I did. GAP came out and installed for me. Gave Scotty a tip, and all is well. I would hope all good distributors would do the right thing if need be. These fixes just seemed a tad out of my league.

Naw John, you can do it. Just take a few pics if not sure and dig in. It's fun!!
This is my 1st attempt at updating code in a Stern Spike pin. I noticed that one of the two USB slots is already occupied by a thumb drive. Do I leave that thumb drive it the slot and use the other slot for the update?
Also, Is there a way to save my high scores prior to updating?

The other USB is occupied by the network adapter. If you're not using IC, or updating via wireless, just pull it.
Your high scores will remain. Stern will warn before a scoring correction is made.

Thanks for the help...
The new code is 10.3 GB! Was gonna take near 2 hours on wifi, decided to go USB for it.
Quoted from indypinhead:Thanks for the help...
I was going to update via USB as the wifi was going to take 2+ hours, but theres a zip within a zip on the USB update and the 2nd zip for 001 is saying corrupted or missing when I try extracting it. Dont know if the issue is just with me or the download itself, but thought I'd let people know. Sticking to IC update now. 1 hour to go..
Quoted from aamauzy:[quoted image]
Wow that flipper behavior sounds fun!
Watch out for that 10 second "penality".
Whos gonna be the nerd to crack the code on this tidbit in the new update? 
" - Added an additional secret feature that can be unlocked by Stern Insider
Connected users."
Anyone having upper scoop issues (not registering) with the new code?
I've NEVER had the upper scoop issues others have described previously, so it seems like a super weird coincidence that it's suddenly not registering on my first game after the 0.96 update.
Not even intermittent, just 100% not registering. The switch that tells it the ball is in there is working, because it dispenses it to the lower scoop (then triggers like I just hit the lower scoop)
Quoted from Hayfarmer:Naw John, you can do it. Just take a few pics if not sure and dig in. It's fun!!
yeah I was mentally intimidated on this one. Even the tech had to mess with the subway fix a couple times to make sure it registered every time… with him taking 1 hour it would have taken me at least 3 haha. I’ll tackle the next issue that pops up on one of my games.

having an issue too updating via USB. says can't read file when I try to extract.
Quoted from RebelGuitars:My game is freezing up on the new code every time I scroll to the song 2112, only if I'm logged in.
I downloaded/installed via USB. Its not crashing if I play without logging in.

Interesting. Did you scroll through the songs? Mine crashes every time I get to 2112.
