Quoted from davijc02:The next showdown has to be TNA and you have to take the stance of hating it....
That would be great to hear how good SDTMinSTL can lie. He may not want his wife to listen to that show.

I'm thinking of changing my post to Fluorescent Green the upper - Narrow Plastic Post 1-1/16" Tall #550-5059-11 and the Fluorescent Green Transluscent Star Post 1-1/16" Tall #550-5034-11 from Pinball Life. I changed the clear plastic protection to ... Yep Fluorescent Green. Yes I like green but can't keep it in my wallet. What say you.

I hot glued mine because the plug seemed a little loose. Then I went and purchased another one and hot glued it from the start. Well worth the 30 bucks.

Quoted from Chalkey:It turned out someone had previously switched the positions of two cables on one of the light boards causing a bunch of mismatches.
Is there any way to clear the coin drop audits without also clearing the high scores? I hit the clear credits but it didnt seem to affect any coin drop audits. I cleared the other audits and all high scores were lost.
I believe coin audit can't be cleared. Unless a chip on board is replaced. Stops someone from saying "HUO only 256 plays" when coin drops say 4537

Quoted from killborn:Hey guys, I've been noticing a problem with the lights in attract mode where a handful of lights are not displaying the right colors.
This usually occurs after about a dozen games and it carries over from attract mode into a game. I've traced those bulbs back to their boards under the playfield and wiggled and occasionally that has helped. A couple of those connectors weren't seated all the way, so I removed the glue and reseated them, but that didn't resolve anything. Rebooting the game is the only thing that consistently resolves the issue, although it is only temporary.
The bulbs that are lit up in the first photo are the usual suspects, although it can seem more random at times. I'll see if I can post a gif if that helps.
I am also running 1.3
It's not that big of a deal, I just love the light show so much![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Your ball save count down go out of whack too.
Quoted from procks:Can't wait to see what you put out next Scott. Is there any info out there on it yet?
4 legs, backbox, playfield, glass and flipper buttons on side of cabinet. We are hoping for a spinner too.

I just reseated all connections on board for the rector lights #2,3,9,5 6 and 5. That did the trick now to hot glue them.
Thanks for your input kidchrisso

Quoted from FatPanda:You're welcome
I saw it first at the Pinball Life openhouse this last time that Terry had it. Scott was there and he told us about the blue GI with the green protectors and when I got a chance to play a game and saw the effect, we ran to the back to buy the last set that they had. So Scott did his job selling it to me
They will have more in stock. They just need to cut some more sets.
Scott seen my game 10 months ago, like them and the rest is history.
Quoted from andrewket:All I see are the pink ones on pinballlife? Maybe they sold out.
Florescent green, put them in your wishlist.

Quoted from joelbob:I’m glad people like the colored plastics but I actually returned the green set I had purchased because it made all the grey plastics look yellow. I’m assuming the pink will do something similar.
Is it possible to make plastics that have the centers cut out so that it doesn’t change the main plastic graphics? You really only need the color on the edges. If these are cut with a laser you could cut on outside edge “ring” in green or pink and then cut the centers in clear and glue the two together. Complex but wouldn’t change the grey color pallet.
Funny you say this. I'm just starting to cut the center out of my green protectors. I'll post pics when I finally finish. Hopefully by Saturday.
Started removing center from florescent protectors. I only did one, I'll redo it and leave about 3/8" all the eay around.
Can you tell which one was done. Need to buy a laser cutter because it was a PITA. Just started playing a game and yes I'll do the rest.
20200421_152744 (resized).jpg20200421_152634 (resized).jpg20200421_152803 (resized).jpg20200421_152644 (resized).jpgI don't see any structural issues and I went to thin. It's just a plate setting under the original plastics. 3/8" - 1/2" will work IMHO. I'll do my slinge too. Just need to get some blades for my scroll saw.
I've been wanting to do this for 6 months. I started doing them yesterday and then seen your post and knew I was headed in the right direction.
Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:Looks great, but 2 things you need to know about these protectors.
1. If you cut the middle out, it will not capture as much light and the edges may not glow as much as they used to. Can you take some blue GI pictures and see if it still is as bright on the edges?
2. I worry about structural issues as these can take direct ball hits. They are meant to be protectors for the plastic and there are not single replacement pieces for sale in case one snaps.
Thoughts?
--Scott
I'll be the tester, if it doesn't work I'll head over to PBL and purchase new ones. Then I will leave well enough alone. I'll cut sling tomorrow here it will have 7/16" around sll sides.

I did notice that. I'll see how the sling does being a little thicker.
Quoted from razorsedge:I would be at least leaving the full bolt holes there, like the diameter of a post, to give the fixing support underneath to tighten down onto.
I'll keep that in mine, sounds good. Thanks
Quoted from AndHart120:Here are some pictures with the pink protectors installed....[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
If you will go into test mode (LED's) and take pictures. Toggle each color. Red, Green, Blue, White.....ect then post. thanks
Here is a side view of my Left and Right slings. One sling the center part of the florescent green has been removed the other side was left alone. Top
two pictures are the Right side bottom two are of the Left side. Is one side giving off more light on the side of the florescent green?

Left noflash (resized).jpg20200423_140601 (resized).jpgRight noflash (resized).jpgQuoted from TheNoTrashCougar:You can tell by the reflection on the playfield that it looks like it is getting a little less light absorption, but does not look too bad. In all honesty though, we will probably not be changing this product. It is neat to see if this works or not though. Thank you for testing it out.
--Scott
Yes if you look at the playfield (reflection) you can see that right side has center removed. I'll post photos of slings overhead at 6:30 ish EST.
Quoted from luckycreature:Finally!!! Had to use co-op to beat it but after owning it since launch still thrilling. Had a crazy multiball on reactor 6 that carried me all the way to 9. Then proceeded to drain three balls. Finally hit the d target on the very last ball. Boom! Now to get better at single player.[quoted image]
Got kink in neck
. great game.

Don't forget some are now getting ready to try green with centers cut out. And I may try to replace cut out with clear.

Quoted from procks:Just had a game where I activated multiball with a light hit against the bottom drop target and the middle drop target stayed up so only one ball was released. Then a short time later during multiball the second ball was released. Is that a feature or are my drop targets getting weird again?
Well if drop targets got weird once, I'm betting they are weird or weirder again.

Let me know if you have any issues with the code!
--Scott
I finally installed code V1.4.1 on Friday and I haven't even played it yet. Been super busy. I'll update to V1.4.2 and skip dinner to get in a few game.
Thanks Scott
I played my 1st game with V1.4.2. Destroyed the first reactor and ball came towards flipper and the flipper didn't response. Ball drains and I said that's new, I was then waiting for ball save to launch ball. But look at playfield and backglass that when I noticed the game was dead. Turn game off then back on, nothing. I lost power at the same moment reactor was destroyed. Still have no power. 
Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:Shaker motor shake something loose? Check the LEDs on your P3-ROC, PC, etc.
Oh I'm sorry. Lost power to my house. Lol
It was strange that it happen when it did.
Quoted from Liakos:Shit...
Anything I can do without having to buy new shit
Use the RCA (red&white) jacks
Quoted from Cheeks:I don't understand why Spooky continues to not ship the instructions with this mod. MANY have contacted them about it (I was one of them). Here they are online.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/who-sells-tna-speaker-light-kit#post-4553990
Should this be a key post. Someone with magic fingers make it happen.
Quoted from ChipScott:To add to the above.
After I posted that question last night, I turned the volume way way down so as not to disturb the family while I continued to try and sort the issue out.
With the volume way down, I did not encounter that problem...what the heck!? I couldn't help myself and continued to turn the volume up adjusting the front panel speakers and the subwoofer. It did appear that at a particular volume I began to notice the above problem, and again, only during the reactor startup sequence.
Again this afternoon, with the volume relatively down, I didn't notice the above issue, however with increased volume (front speaker panels and subwoofer), I noticed the sounds of some switch firing and points being awarded, and again only during the reactor startup sequence.
Could it be that the game is rattling so much with the music and whatever is happening with the shaker at that time during this reactor startup sequence that it is somehow vibrating the playfield enough to trigger a switch during that time? I've never seen that before, but I suppose it is possible, I guess.... I'm starting to think that somehow, maybe someway, the game is somehow rattling so much (during that sequence only, which is interesting) that that's what's causing the problem... not sure.
Any thoughts or suggestions on the above?
Thanks!
It's most likely a upper sling that needs to be addressed. It's to close and making contact with the slightest rattle or shake. How many points are being awarded at a single time. Remove glass and start game and see what triggers points with the slightest touch.
Quoted from ChipScott:About 2500 points. The sound "seemed" to be coming from the upper core playfield. I did check those slings, but good idea to check again and make sure the leafs are not too close.
My GoT just started giving me 30 points (yesterday) when I hit flippers. It has done this before and was a leaf on the upper playfield.
Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:Just do all the bolt-ons and make your OG a TNAr!!!

Quoted from Spagano314:Two quick questions. I have a read a lot on the topic, but what does everyone this is the best solution for play field chipping? The black neoprene washers, clear plastic washers, black plastic washers, and where did everyone get them? Also, did they ever make any kind of TNA specific key fob? I have one for every game except TNA. I might try and recreate a tiny version of the soundtrack cassette (which I would like to find some day). I’ve had the game for 2 weeks and have only reached the 5th reactor twice. I love this game.
Reactor 5 twice. 2 weeks. Slow down or go back to 3 balls. . Wow I sux
Quoted from bikefreak:Instead of having an additional connection (that may be prone to poor connections) just replace the entire cable. There are RCA to 3.5mm mini plug. The current cable is 10 feet. I went with this: amazon.com link » which is 12 feet but seemed to have tight connections which I felt were key. It does work well, obviously long but better than short. (8' may be most ideal but I prioritized a tight connection) I turned my amp around to make the plugs more accessible and get the connection away from the shaker. I also did this as I think the mini plug had solder joint issues too.
Ordered, thanks +1

Quoted from DK:I came back to play TNA a week later and I saw this going on:
Some lights are stuck on and the timer isn't working anymore
What should I be purchasing to fix this? Thank you for any help!
Lift playfield and follow the wires from LED's that are staying white. Unplug and plug them back in to make better contact. That should fix it.
