Does the ball hit the plastic cover and bounce down?

Honestly, I have no idea. I only know that it looks good and works perfectly. It registers every time and is really smooth. But I'm not the first one to come up with this. There have been earlier posts on this thread like this one that gave me the idea:

I made a similar piece and only found it about 50% effective on our game. Just doesn’t keep the ball down enough. Maybe fudging the switch more would have helped, but the pad on the rail has been 100% effective without any switch mods for us.

It seems my machine isn't the norm but I haven't had a single loop shot not register from out of the box. I dropped the upper flipper strength to around 200 which I always do with new sterns and haven't had a problem.

My wife kind of thought this was silly, but I was able to get Ed Robertson to autograph my Rush LE box cut-out tonight at the BNL show in Detroit. Now I just need Dirk and Lerxst.

My Drum Clock keeps resetting the time to GMT. I assume that it pulls the time from my the Internet via my WiFi. Is there a Time Zone setting that I'm missing so that it stays on Central Time?

I wanted to thank AUKraut of WilliPinball Mods for modifying his dice flasher cover for me. The pair now fit on the left side under the drum sticks. (He designed it to remove some material from the bottom of the dice.) Thanks again.

It's a fun game and I strongly recommend adding the expression lighting as the song choreography and effects make the game even more amazing! Actually liking the music helps too - I enjoy both playing and listening to my RUSH more than my GnR.

I look forward to your review!

It doesn't hold a ball in the center of the time machine and you have to shoot it out, does it?

Quoted from flynnibus:
If you mean the upper loop shot, there is no fix from stern at this point. Use the ninjamod one or do it yourself by putting about 3/8” wide material along the top edge of the outside ball guide. Furniture foot pad material cut into a strip works fine.
You will want to get the side scoop and main acoop fixes from the original owner

Thank You

You either have to use Insider Connected, and leave the machine connected to WiFi at all times, or, if you don't use WiFi for updates, just pull the USB WiFi adapter, and your clock will keep proper time. That's what I did, and no problems.

The pop bumper ring should be fixed on new runs and a new part issued for everyone else.
About that ring... curious what you all have done to fix that?

I got tired of waiting for Stern to send me the replacement they promised (they did send a replacement after about a month but it was cut on the wrong angle and when I told them & showed them it didn't work, they told me they weren't going to make the correct part). I dremeled mine and it works perfectly now.

i added a little blindspot mirror mounted on a L bracket to see the inner loop lights. Sorry, the picture isn't the best. I couldn't get a good angle on the mirror. You can see all of the lights once you have it positioned properly. You can also see my crudely cut piece of lexan that helps prevent the ball from not registering the switch.

Quoted from Hayfarmer:
You can put a washer under the 2 bolts on the left side of scoop, it will direct the ball to the right flipper 99% of the time. Also, twist the scoop counter clockwise, from the top, to aim it more towards right flipper when tightening the bolts.

TWO-WASHER FIX WORKS! After taking out the Stern Black Horse Blinder fix and replacing with the NinjaCamp scoop protector, my scoop eject was ejecting all over the place... mainly to the left flipper but 10% of the time to the right flipper or SDTM. I tried the "loosen, turn clockwise, & tighten" the scoop but it was only slightly better. I tried one washer and no luck. But with a washer on under each screw (between the wood and the scoop) on the left side of the scoop and, like magic, it shoots to the right flipper every time. Thanks for the tip Hayfarmer!

Has anyone made a plastic piece to stop air balls around the loop from the upper flipper? I’m only getting loops to register 50% of the time due to the ball catching air

I spent the afternoon designing and test fitting an orbit shield plastic if you or anyone would like to try that solution.

If you drop upper flipper strength none of these inner loop mods are necessary. All the shots are still gettable on lower strength and game flows much better.

Mine makes it with lowered strength. But each game sometimes plays a little different. Just my experience with mine. Some games obviously need more tweaking. Just another possible method to improve gameplay.
