Quoted from Drussksu:

I was having a ton of problems with the eject shooting straight down the middle. I did find out my machine was leaning to the left a little, I leveled it and tightened up the scoop protectors. Now it rarely happens. However, I do think it happens more during multiball for whatever reason. Im going to look around for the multiball adjustment.
Yesterday I had a great game. I stacked freewill and hourlong multiballs with the limelight mode running.

Quoted from usafstars:

Check post #11541 Hayfarmer had a couple of pictures where small washers were used to slightly tilt the scoop to help with SDTM ejects.

Quoted from paul_8788:

Yeah, that's bs. Player One? Haven't bought anything from them in years, never will. Are you sure the tax wasn't already added in though? Both of those are really close to what the prices would be after conversion including the 13% HST.

Quoted from Maken:

Tax is not included. It is 2559.95 plus tax. Roughly 200 USD higher than it should be. They say they don't control the pricing and are blaming customs fees and freight costs for the extra gouging.

So, this topper is 1700 USD for Americans, or 1900 USD for Canadians at player one.

That’s why I bought my LZ topper from Nitro, it wasn’t marked up. They sell at Stern advertised price.

Quoted from mjannusch:

Has anyone heard when Expression Light kits are supposed to start shipping? I had originally seen April 4th, but there doesn't seem to have been any movement on it yet.

Quoted from brzezicki:

thanks, adjusting the protector seemed to fix it, I also put a piece of 3M doublesided adhesive tape on the inside of the protector against the wood to hold it extra flush. unfortunately when I took it off I see the clearcoat is lifting like a piece of paper ;( the wood is OK and the clearcoat is not chipping but it's seperated from the edge I put on some mylar under the protector to hold it down and give it a little more protection.

My topper and light kit is coming from Nitro. The best!

Quoted from mjannusch:

I pulled out my 1.02 SD card, duplicated it to another SD card, then put it back in and updated to 1.10. It reflashed my node boards and was running 1.10. I then put my old 1.02 card in, and it reflashed the node boards back to whatever node firmware is on 1.02. No problems.
You just need to get a copy of the SD card 1.02 software (I don't think you can downgrade using the USB version). I have it, but don't have a good way to get it to you. If nobody else can get it to you, PM me in a few days.
Note: I'm not sure if using the raw SD card image (which won't have your machine's saved data, settings, scores, etc) will cause any undesired behavior with Insider Connected. You might have to re-register your machine or something. Don't know about that.

Quoted from SterlingRush:

For future reference, you can use the clear Hard as Nails nail polish, to cover and protect the exposed wood areas. Shooter lane, scoop holes, ect... Just be delicate on how you apply it, smooth application.

Quoted from tominator:

I ordered the EL kit from P1 mtl… it better not be more than nitro! I was told it would be priced at 499 usd, then do conversion when you pay, so 700 can (ish)… plus tax of course.
Pretty expensive mod for sure. Would love a topper but I just can’t justify the cost… you can buy an older pin for less ffs.

Quoted from Vespula:

I've been noticing sometimes in multiball I'll lose one of my balls when the scoop shoots it down the middle because the ball save is not active on the scoop eject during multiball

Quoted from arcyallen:

Am I the only one that has a magical machine that DOES have the ball save on during multiball? Pre and post update. I've heard several of you say and confirm it shuts off during multiball, but I can tell you with 100% certainty my ball save indeed works during multiball. Often, to my unwarranted benefit. Perhaps it's because I increased the time from 1s to 2s?

Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:

There is a specific setting to allow it to work during multiball. Factory default is NO, but you can enable it. Sounds like yours is enabled.

Quoted from Vespula:

Agree with this. The setting is elusive, but as my first Stern, I am still learning the menu's... any hints to narrow down where this setting might live in the decision tree?

Quoted from Apollo18:

Could someone please help me with the side scoop switch ?
A Picture of the replacement scoop switch and where/if you changed the screw placement would help A Lot.
Mine keeps giving me side scoop alert
And not working correctly. Switch Getting caught on edge of wood I suspect etc.
Thank you.
Please help me solve this.

Quoted from aamauzy:

I've heard both "the expression light kits are boxed up and ready - I've seen the pallets, they're just waiting for inventory to finish" in January and "I have no clue when any of this will show up" a couple weeks ago. I don't think there is solid info out there yet.

So how's everyone who reset the scores for 1.10 feeling about their new scores...?
I'm just getting into it but got 279m for my GC so far, previous 697m or something like that, and other top are all over from 123 to 197m.... I'm missing that extra ball, I can tell you that.

Quoted from brainmegaphone:

What is the best distributor to buy the Rush accessories from? I've looked at a few webpages and either they say "coming soon" so you can't order/backorder or they don't even mention the accessories. Even Stern's own website doesn't let you order them.

Quoted from GranpaDave:

Need some help.
Last week I updated the new code and I keep getting a message for validation failure, update SD card.
So I re-flashed the SD card…zzz… takes forever... Get the same message. Re-flashed another SD card……Same message. Put the new code on a thumb drive and ran that. Same thing.
Game runs fine. SIC hardware is on, but SIC does not work. Internet is fine.
So basically SIC is out- runs fine on all of my other machines. I have not tried installing the older code (IC was working fine on that)
I have Scorbit on this machine, but it is unplugged. What the hell. Any ideas?

Quoted from Drussksu:

Just noticed a glitch in the new software update. I was in a multiball, I think it was subdivisions. I hit the super jackpot shot and all lighting as well as the flippers went dead until the super jackpot animation was completed

Was it all the lights or just the lower GI lights?

Quoted from SkyKing2301:

Re: ball save from lower scoop eject ... I've seen it happen occasionally but not regularly on all four of the machines I play periodically (my own, a friend's, and at two locations). Seems impossible to eliminate 100% but the ball save feature is nice to have on just in case.
Funny story about this feature: I got hosed at a tournament a few months ago -- ball ejected from lower scoop and went SDTM ... no worries, because it had the ball save feature on ... but it hit the apron in a way that it bounced and rolled back up toward the left outlane ... by the time it rolled back down into the drain, the ball save had turned off and I lost the ball!
IIRC, I came back with a big third ball and won the game, so no harm no foul ... but boy was it frustrating at the time!

Quoted from Theguyoverthere:

Leave the game powered on overnight and it should fix itself by morning, is the advice I’ve been told is the remedy for this type of error message (since you already tried re flashing the code several times)

Quoted from Vespula:

I've turned on this feature setting to enable ball save in multiball and very happy with it set to on. The loss of a ball sdtm after scoop eject isn't something I enjoy anytime. There's plenty of other ways for this game to punish me legitimately.. Glad this is a setting.

Quoted from Rexdeanrds:

Although my interlock is no longer shutting off the HV but I don't think that's related to code updates

Quoted from Boslaw:

My interlock also stopped shutting off HV after the most recent update. My district is going to send me a new switch but kinda weird that it happened on 2 newish games after an update.
