DUDE FUCKIN A
CONGRATS!

Unless this is some new engineering d sign, it looks like a real sloppy job of putting these screws in. Only one of the six on this side are flush. The other five are screwed in at all kinds of angles. All six if them are akimbo on the other side

Welcome to Stern QA. This is not uncommon workmanship.

Wow. That’s not very nice at all.

Now that is a great line up \m/. ACDC too?

Well, I finally got the legs on, just more work than I planned on.
That being said, the game's a blast. I definitely need to figure out what I'm trying to do.
Also need to pump the music up more, being drowned out by the callouts

I changed my LZ and will change my RUSH with new large Williams style brackets. They have a lot more threads than the Stern brackets.

Pinball Life part number 01-11400-1

I think the metal quality is better, too.

How are the Williams brackets diff? Never seen,,

They are longer and slightly wider. The new ones have a round threaded piece welded on for the bolts. I use longer bolts. Pinball Life has them. PL part number 01-11400-1. Marco probably has them also.

This should give you the idea. I made this before Stern backed off their full-out cheapening and returned to 60% size williams-style brackets:

Well done.

Hearing more rumors Stern will increase prices in April. Hope that isn’t true as I’m in a later run.
Shame on me for actually playing it first.

Thanks Gryzsss !!! No picture can do this pin justice .You have to see it with your own eyes !

Had a ball hang up here a couple of times .I played with the pitch and L/R a little bit as I was getting some clunky play pictured here coming out of the left orbit and left loop both in the area above the upper flipper .I will toy around with this area more tomorrow .The ball gets halted a brief moment up there at those 2 spots .The scoops are scoops .They are fine and to those that we’re thinking they would be upset don’t worry the ball still sneaks in from the side .One thing I noticed was how offset the flippers are compared to other games see in pictures .Another cool thing is there are so many strange rebounds that turn into a turn into actual shots by accident if that makes sense .One example is I shot hard with the left flipper and it hit the tip of the upper while down and made the jackpot ramp .Stuff like that that puts a big smile on your face .Most of the time I never seen the ball enter the side scoop because it’s so damn quick .Sooooo much going on in this game I’m looking forward to seeing how code progresses as the game simply Fing rocks as is !!!!! Guys don’t worry a bit about this one this is a big time Winner !!

It looks great, but is that a real screened mirrored backglass, or a semi-fake one like KISS LE that has mirrored segments cut into a translite, not an actual mirror with screened art over it?

Always rumors about this.. Take it all with a grain of salt

Anyone heard anything from Game Exchange on their LE eta? I thought I would as here first before shooting an email to JJ, which I am sure he has already gotten a dozen times

I got a few games in on my LE last night. First game in everything was going fine then all of a sudden the flippers went dead. Is that part of the game or a glitch? It happened to my wife on her next ball as well. Flippers go dead, ball drains, it moves on to the next. I played one game after by myself and no issues. My wife played a game this morning and had the dead flippers again during a multi-ball.
I know Hot Wheels has that as part of gameplay, but this just seemed random.

Check the tech alerts in the diagnostics... if you see an overcurrent message, one of you bulbs is shorting out.

Just got the call from my distributor! Going to pick it up this afternoon.

My family's about 45 games in on ours and that's never happened. So no, I don't think that's supposed to be a thing.

This happened to me a couple of times when I first played the game last week. After I ran the latest update, I haven't seen it again.

Has anyone else had it where the ball clunks around a little in these 2 areas via the left orbit and loop ? Later, Im going to play around a lot with the pitch and L/R .Just a guess at this point but Im thinking this pin might need a slight pitch downward from left to right to shoot it’s best .Other than this area it’s shooting like a dream .

This would make sense because the playfield lights go out when the flippers stop. It happened to me a couple times during a single ball on the first game I played this morning. The flippers would go dead then suddenly start working again, go dead then start up.
Played four games after that and it didn't happen.
Ran diagnostics and it didn't show anything. No Tech Alerts either.

Also, I am running the newest code.

I spoke with JJ late last week via text, no pins shipped to him yet. I too am wondering with the storms if the call from him comes this week! Luckily the wife and I have been following our favorite band Dead Sara around the country this last week finishing in Denver on Wednesday night at the Paramount, so my urge to text JJ every day has been muted…

And if ya’ll haven’t heard of Dead Sara… you should check them out.

#69 LE for sale in the marketplace. That didn't take long!

What pitch are you at now? GZ is very particular about pitch, 6.8 seems best on it, you may need to just steepen up a bit.

I have two new in crate rush le's left...$12,500 cash, check or bank transfer plus shipping....Todd from TNT Amusements

thanks for the interest...they are sold now...will post if I get more in.

I haven't had any issues with the left orbit. The loop seems to always rattle around in there though, but I figured that was intentional to slow the ball down

guess he doesn't like it?

Check your tech alerts right after it happens, not after cycling the power. I had it happen on my maiden, same as you describe, and it was a shorted bulb.
There is a thread somewhere on here where a guy spent forever chasing the problem, and he finally found a tiny tiny piece of copper wire in the bottom of a bulb socket. So small he could only see it with a magnifying glass.
I would reseat all the network cables, ( the cat5’s) then pull each bulb from the section that goes out. Blow out the sockets and put tested bulbs back in firmly. This should fix the problem.

That may have been me. I had to take macros pics of each socket on my JP to figure out which one it was. The metal particle was wedged in, so blowing it out didn’t work for me.

That’s what ai was thinking

I go by feel but am going to purchase the tool for tff G at soon .The bubble is touching the top line .

Being it new pin day I’m at my wife’s beckon call for at least 2 weeks .This ain’t my first rodeo I’ll get it straight later .

More than likely everything was fine up until 68. Then when he finally got to 69, he had to turn around...and sell it.

Just out of curiosity is the off set flippers used in a lot of pins ? I understand why it is ,I’m just wondering because I’ve never noticed it before .Rush seems to be set to the left 1 inch from where my other 2 are .I always thought it would open up gameplay doing this it it seems to have done that here .

I just got a call on mine, shipping today...but with R&L carriers. Hopefully *knock on wood* they don't mess it up

Ehoh, gz, lz are all at 9" from outside cabinet to left flipper tip. Met is only one at 10"

I use this, it has audio for leveling, so only have to go under one time

Thank you ordering tonight .

Rush is 8 .Unless I’m seeing things .No biggs trying to get the Honey Do list done so I can get back at it .This is torture haha

I was measuring from the side armor .Just it caught my eye while playing .Thanks HF .

Last thing until later .I’m not a good player yet therefore I enjoyed being able to manually pick the side the balls coming back to .For advanced players does this eliminate the need for post passes ? Just was wondering as it seems maybe something in settings to have it as is or to choose to have to earn enabling it by doing something and maybe have it give you 20/40/60 seconds of use in modes depending ? Food for thought anyway .Hope all get they’re games soon there’s definitely a feel good vibe while playing .My kids didn’t know Rush music much and were “one more game “ last night time and time again

Got the call a few hours ago from my distributor that my LE is shipping to me! I unfortunately don't have a vehicle large enough to transport it so R&L it is...I didn't have issues the last time I used them (Mando Prem) so here's hoping it all works out...

Action button drops a diverter to let you choose left or right,

Does anyone have a link to the translucent sling rubbers like JJP uses. Gary, why does Stern is use cheap black rubbers?
