Quoted from Taygeta:If you like challenging, short games, you will love TWD. I think it is one of VERY few Sterns (AC/DC being the only other one) where the upgrade to the premium/LE is worth it, though, if you can find one of those instead.
the premium does look nice but not easy to find in my area. I think the pro will do just fine. My TMNT is challenging and fast so I am not afraid of the difficulty. I am not a great player, probably average at best but I am digging this machine.
Would the Pinstadiums help with the pros light show? I would think they would pick up some of the slack from not having the RGB.
I would love to go Premium if I could but I think I am going to trade my Judge Dredd for a pro that is in my area. Not much to choose from in West Texas.

Quoted from jvivlemore:I'm part of the TWD Owner's Club now (and it's my first pin too). Took a road trip and picked it up yesterday. Now for mods

Did your Pro come from Texas?
I just received my NIB Pro. Must be the luck of the Irish because it came in three days early. Mods on order and red Titans to put on. Super stoked to kill some zombies.

The build date is 08/24/2017. I was really happy to find one.
Quoted from roar:Nice! Those look so much better on a game than they did in a box in a drawer at my place! This reminds me I need to get going on making a frame for the matching translite, it is amazing too.
I just ordered the same set for mine. Wife wanted me to get a translite that wasn’t as scary for my little one.
Quoted from Indypin:Congrats on your new purchase.
What mods did you order for it?
I ordered the train track mods (RR tracks and crossing sign combo) from Cointakers, but as soon as I placed the order and cash was accepted, they sent me an email the next day it was on back order. I wonder why they just didn’t say “Out of Stock” on their web site instead?
Anyways, just a heads up. Shaker is pretty awesome in this game.
I was thinking about getting the train tracks so thanks for the heads up. I ordered the fish tank and The Crate mod. I also got the comic alternate translite so my kid doesn’t get so spooked out. Next will be a Color DMD and maybe Pinstadiums.
I am having a strange issue. My CDC light flashes during attract mode and when I test it but when i hit all three drop targets it doesn’t flash like the other modes. I don’t have the newest code I have 1.56. Any ideas?
Quoted from Stebel:Did you check individual lamps in the test mode?
I did and it flashed.
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:Update to the latest code. v1.60 release notes say: - - Changed background lamp effect priorities so more important lamps
could be seen (i.e. CDC lamps over PRISON lamps).
Thanks. I didn’t think to look at the last code patch notes.
Well I updated my machine and I am still having the same issue with my CDC flasher. It flashes while being tested and in attract mode but not when I unlock mode select in game. What do y’all think?
Quoted from Stebel:In individual lamp test, CDC is the only one flashing, are any other inserts flashing?
I think they wired it wrong. When in test mode the left loop multi kill lamp lights on the cdc and the cdc lights on the l loop multi kill lamp. I think they got swapped. Do I just switch them out?
Thanks everyone. I switched the bulbs and all is good now. I know it was a small fix but this is why I look at Pinside.

So after a night of getting my ass kicked does anyone have some sage advice? Other then play better lol. Once the ball hits the slings it’s almost an instant drain.
Quoted from LTG:Don't drain.
LTG : )
yeah yeah.
Thinking about reducing the slingshot power a bit to see if that helps. Thanks everyone for the tips.
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:Which position are your outlane posts in? Have you tried making the game steeper to reduce side-to-side action?
Outlane post are still in the factory position but I think I have it at 6.7 or so on the pitch. I will probably adjust the outlane post to the bottom.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Can you do this on SAM games?
Yes sir.
Quoted from luvthatapex2:I checked my TWD and there are no settings for slings. I think they came out later with the spike games.
I just changed mine last night. It was set to 32 and I dropped it to 25.
Quoted from luvthatapex2:wow where is this setting in the menu?
I believe it was 152 in the adjustments give or take a number or two.
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:I was looking for a trough power for this title and couldn't find it. Is that in there, as well? Maybe I missed it.
I will take a look when I get home.
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:It will be funny and amazing if it turns out you have one of the rumored Spike The Walking Dead (Pro)
lol did get it NIB about 6 months ago. Not sure what I would need to look for to find out.
Quoted from Rensh:That’s easy. Just have a look in the backbox. Do you see there just a little board it’s a spike. With SAM the whole backbox is filled.
I am 90% sure it’s a SAM but I will have to take a look and see.

Quoted from nicoy3k:hi guys having a small issue where sometimes all 3 drop targets activate/reset by themselves without anything hitting them.
When this happened to me I just reseated the connector and it fixed my issue.

Quoted from chaz009:I've just agreed to a trade for a TWD Pro and looking for alternate translites for it. I've got my eye on the one by flipordie, which I think looks AWESOME, but still a little violent for my kids. I'm having a real hard time finding one that's not ugly and is kid appropriate. Suggestions?
Has anyone considered making a Shaun of the Dead translite for it? I think that would amazing!
Apologies if this has been asked before. Thanks in advance for any help!
This is a funny one.
