Same. My ninjacamp protectors remain nice and flat and never interfere with game play. I did install mylar over the edges of mine as well.

Perfection here. I can't imagine my machine without them, both the protectors and the sleeves.

Finally got my hands on a Rush..

If any of you have been following my DIY audio upgrade thread then you can guess I wouldn't leave Rush alone for long.

This is a Rush Pro, that has been upgraded to JBL speakers in the backbox and JBL subwoofer in the cabinet. All powered with a Fosi 2.1 mini amp. It's wired up for simple 1 button turn on and off with the machine power switch. The Bluetooth connectivity turns it into a jukebox for your gameroom too.

Take a look at the DIY audio thread if you want all the details on how it was done.

Side note - I also have a Rush Premium, and it is going to get a massive audio upgrade, ludicrous mode.....

Thanks everyone for the inputs. I ordered it today.

Sorry for the newb question but my game's tilt sensor goes off at the slightest nudge. I took the tilt bob out and it still does it. I lifted the playfield but don't really know what to look for that's causing the problem. It seems to happen more when I use the right flipper. Thanks in advance.

Look for the rod that held the tilt bob and make sure it hangs in the center of the ring. This is all on the left side of the inside of the cabinet. Make sure nothing is laying on the ring or rod.

looks good but those back box speakers are too small for me i went with 5.25 in my Pro..

We have assumed control

Make sure the round metal piece is level and not on an angle wherein the tilt Bob when “centered” remains closer to one edge than others.

You may need to GENTLY bend it

I got the Pin Monk Scoop Mylar down and then the Ninja Camp over that. Highly recommend that combo.

Take that thing out of there!

Ayyy go Bills, from my place less than a mile from the stadium!

I've had this happen to me on occasion too. It's almost like the audio gets sent out twice, resulting in a slight faux reverb/echo sound. I think it may have happened more with some of the earlier code versions, and I think it tended to happen when I started a new game more rapidly after the prior one ended.

Thanks yeah, the gold bracket thing holding the metal piece that holds the tilt bob was sort of crooked so I just bent it by hand a little. No more constant tilt warnings now.

One more question that's probably been asked before and I'll stop. On a full plunge that goes all the way around and through the pop bumpers it always goes straight down the middle. I looked at the key posts but didn't see anything on this. Would raising or lowering the pitch fix this? I'm at 7 degrees right now.

Sweet! Hopefully getting to a game this year again finally!

Yes, I have the same issues on my game as well as Godzilla le. Someone else had posted that this problem looks like a vinyl record. Does not interfere with gameplay, but not the nice clear coat that I would want. My Legends of Valhalla from American pinball has a beautiful playfield with beautiful clear coat...

Had an epic game on Rush yesterday right before dinner. Of course, dinner was delayed-but having a great pinball game can make for a very happy week. It is really amazing how good this game is with the shots and code. Looks like I have been very fortunate to have a game that works well, registers shots, and has a spinner that I can backhand (is a tight shot though). Not saying this to brag about my lowly maintenance skills, but to reiterate how wonderful this game is when working as designed.

Here's mine

What did you print on? It looks very good

I turned my qr code into a 3d-printed keychain that I keep with the rush keys, close to the game. No phone required! Going to take this with me next time I go to a tournament or convention so I don't have to worry about phone battery. Anybody else want one?

Your playfield slope can affect this. Try lowering it a few degrees and make sure the game is level side to side as well. Always place your level on the playfield - not the glass.

If you still have an issue you can physically alter the orbit ball path by adjusting the outer metal guide, but ideally won't need to in this case.

</blockquote.

Can you tell if it's still hugging the outer rail as it comes into the pop area, or is it rattling? Does it touch the skirts on the pops at all? They might just need to be more sensitive

Ratings don't mean a lot only you can say #1 is probably better than #100. My Aerosmith is about my favorite though I own other top 20 titles. One thing for sure is any band themed is valuable and hard to find. Try to find a Kiss or Mick on a stick. And Rush is several times better. My # 19 Rush gets more play than #1 GZ though both are great.

On or Off and other simple questions. When you pin(s) are not being played do you leave them on or turn them off? What about power strips or power conditioners, yes or no and if yes, what is your preference?

Off and unplugged. We had a lightning strike years ago, ruined our TV, microwave, vcr, all on surge protectors.

I switch mine off when I’m done, no sense in wasting the power.

I keep it plugged into an APC for the beefy surge protection. Knowing the peak power draw in the table is 540W, you want to have a solution that can handle a good capacity, something with around 850-1000VA would be a safe bet. This is the one I use: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apc-back-ups-900va-9-outlet-1-usb-battery-back-up-and-surge-protector-black/6411066.p?skuId=6411066

Outpost Kodelia and NinjaCamp have just released the preview for our next big product, check it out!

Looks pretty dang good! Wish these would work without having the EL kit, as we patiently wait for Stern to release.

Nice job on those!

Why is the dog and fire hydrant 3D printed mod not identical to the Signals album cover?

Sorry, but this is one of the worst mods I’ve ever seen in pinball. It really cheapens the look of the game with it installed. It’s like someone took free 3D print files, a dog and a fire hydrant and that was it. No attention to detail or scale or making your own model or commissioning it to someone to make it. If it doesn’t match the album cover, what is the point?

78D9062B-65DA-4AF3-8BEE-A7D3EBD64CE3 (resized).jpeg

I actually like mine a lot. You cannot locate the dog to the right of the hydrant because there's no room without relocating the flasher. Well worth the $50 or so my opinion
But if you don't that's understandable. Spend money on the time machine lights instead.

Like mine as well. And the dog is not 3-d printed. It clears the glass bythismuch

I’ve been hearing for months about people recommending blue Loctite on some things, but there are a couple of different numbers within the blue range (i.e. 243, 220, etc) - what number do you recommend?

Ok looks like my node board 10 just went up in smoke. Has Stern figured out what is c as using this yet?

If you had one, installed one, and/or researched about it, you would understand. The maker shared their trials through the process, not everything is going to be perfect in life.

If you are familiar with Rush history, especially their video incorporations during live concerts, they take iconic items from their various album covers, and present them in different ways.

Either you get it, or you don’t, you can always choose to move on. No need to be “that” pinsider.

I picked up the blue 242, been working fine for me.

I can have and share my opinion. That's every "Pinsider". Either do the mod right or not at all, that's my opinion. Make it exact like the album cover, otherwise what is the point of a random dog and fire hydrant on the playfield that doesn't even match anything else? Sticks out like a sore thumb is not a mod mantra...that mantra is make it look like it was designed that way from the manufacturer.

So if you don’t like it, why not move on then? What was the purpose of the post, if you’re not interested in the item? To tear down someone else’s work? That’s not having an opinion, that’s being an asshole. That’s what I was referring to with “that” comment.

An opinion would be commenting you don’t like it, and it’s not for you, or not commenting at all, and stopping there.

If you can make better, then do it. For those that enjoy(myself included), we’re pretty happy with it.

Anyway, moving on....just enjoy your machine, and have a better day tomorrow

As far as I know.. no.. I’m still waiting for a board replacement myself. Coming up on 4 weeks. Earlier in the thread there is a user who did a fantastic guesstimate on the root cause. All I know is.. Stern informed me to make sure its on the newest firmware(which it was) and my distributor suggested that when i get the board to start off plugging in the clock and or ramp one at a time to isolate to one of those if possible

On vacation in Vancouver, zoning out when filling up the tank with gas and saw....

Give me a break about having a negative opinion on something. That’s all Pinside is when a new game comes out...people taking sides on whether it sucks or it’s awesome. No one seems to care about the feelings of the manufacturers or designers in those cases.

I just happened to notice all these tacky mods that are advertised at the bottom of the thread page. It stood out to me and I felt like commenting.

Imagine if someone made a Led Zeppelin mod based on this classic album cover. But they 3-D printed an old guy and 3-D printed a bag of sticks. The old guy is now standing next to a bag of sticks. It doesn’t make any sense and it looks awful. If you are going to make a mod to duplicate an album cover, re-creating is not duplicating.

That is my opinion, if you don’t like it you could also choose not to engage with me and just let me have my opinion and carry-on. There is always that option to not engage with every opinion you don’t agree with.

Just got an update on my node 10 board. On backorder. Been waiting 3 weeks. Was told warranty claims are top priorty once they arrive.

So far from one of the worst mods ever. A bit of an over exaggeration. He does some pretty nice mods and have bought many from him including his 3D start buttons. Of you think it sucks so bad then come up with something better.

I have it plus the rabbit and it looks great. The dog is not 3D printed.You don’t have to like it, but don’t insult the guy. He’s definitely a plus to the hobby.

Coming across as a little touchy there. You offered an opinion and people offered counter opinions. Sorry you can’t handle that. Especially when you say it’s the worst mod ever. BTW you can turn off those adds the bottom. So you won’t get triggered again by those tacky adds. Again insulting people.

Thanks for letting me know that ads can be disabled.

I’m not touchy, just rubs me the wrong way when someone acts like I can’t have an opinion and then are white knighting For a stranger. If the guy who made the mod sees my comments and takes offense, then he’s the only one that really should even care.

Seems like you’re touchy because you bought the tacky mod and someone’s not patting you on the back saying it looks fantastic.

I didn't know ad's could be disabled either, so you indirectly provided a public service! fwiw, no doubt many mods are cringy...better to just ignore. If someone asks explicitly, fire away

Found this on EBAY a while back, a back stage pass. The good old days.

Super cool! I grew up listening to that radio station!

Tell that to my boards waiting for months while they just did runs of the very same game…
