thats a weird one! i just had my glass off and tried to get a ball to sit there and it wouldnt, it just drained. my metal piece looks the same as your pic, similar angle.are you level side to side at the bottom? i have my pitch at 7.0 on mine. a little steeper than what is recommended but the play for us is fine. what line is bubble touching?

dbl post

3rd bubble .

Ya man, happens pretty much every game.

And I played a single game at my distro when I was picking it up and it happened on their game too... So figured it was a common issue...

is you PF seated correctly? is the right side being help up by the shooter rod or something else keeping it higher than the left side? i ask as you had scratching on the glass from where the name card area is , seems to be a decent amount of clearance , and i cannot see how the ball would just "hang" there, not touching the rollover, not touch the metal piece under the plastic there, gravity should do its thing, unless elevation is goofed up. pull the lock bar off and compare / measuring side to side. i will open mine and see if i can send a couple pics for you to compare

fwiw I've played maybe 30 games on TS4 in one location and I've had the ball get stuck in that left kickback a bunch of times, it just sits there exactly like in your photo. I even mentioned it to the owner of the place. Haven't had time to go back for a while so I'm not sure if he did anything. Other than that I really enjoyed this game. If you contact JJP let us know what they say.

On both sides in this area from of to top of rail I am 4”

Check how the board is seated below the wheel mech. If it's off kilter the opto beams might not get broken all the time by the bottom of the wheel

Get a digital level with inclination. That way can check things both ways. Inclination and right to left level

I was worried about this game. My CE arrived today. I’m relieved and quite pleased. Very fun , pretty , and deserves much more appreciation than it gets.

What the heck is a FENNEL CAKE? Isn’t it supposed to be Funnel Cake? This is a beautiful machine with great art. This box covering the diverted is one of the most questionable art choices. It is covered in weird generic carnival stickers?!? It has nothing to do with Toy Story and is a poor use of very prominently placed art. Missed opportunity to place something Toy Story specific art or even Pixar Easter egg like Casey Junior Cookies box from A Bugs Life (which was a clever nod to Dumbo).

Made with Fennel. Tastes like licorice or anise. See the picture behind the word with the white bulb and 5 things growing out of it.

And quite delicious, might I add!

Hopefully the ModCouple will get on this for a cool alternative

The art of pinball is currently working on something for here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/jjp-toy-story-4-sculpted-mods-by-the-art-of-pinball#post-7100843

If it's by the mod couple there's a good chance you can find the download on the web and 3d print it yourself lol (sorry I'm salty with them, got screwed over twice by them, will never buy again from them).

That is the joke. It is an intentionally quirky play on funnel cake.

If it wasn't intentional, they wouldn't have made the artwork all be fennel plants. Plus, have you looked at the other side? This stand also sells, 'Knotchos' and 'Sawsages'.

That being said, they definitely could've used this space for something better.

Just received my CE. Such a pretty Pin... looks amazing!!
My white up post at road trip multiball ball lock keeps popping up and down whilst in attract mode. Any thoughts?
Thank you

I don't think that is normal. Maybe one of the ball sensors that tells the game there is a ball locked is malfunctioning causing it to think it needs to release a ball. Probably worth checking to ensure no wires are loose down there.

Have you tested the up post coil in the test menu system to make sure it's wired right?

Tests - Switches - Matrixed - any errors, things opening and closing, or closed that should be open. Flagged in red if an issue.

LTG : )

I recalibrated the sensor, seems to have fixed it... monitoring, but so far so good.
Thanks guys

Any idea what I need to be looking for ??

LED/PFC board. With the game turned off. Reseat cables to it and push them in tight. Check where they go in backbox to and be sure the other ends are in tight.

I don't have a game here or I'd send you pictures.

LTG : ) Former jjp tech guy.

I'd guess it is hanging from the bottom of the playfield somewhere. Manual doesn't help.

Huh. First I've heard of this. I assumed all their stuff was their original creation.

the one with all the blue cat5 cables? thats the one i was focusing on, i unplugged / replugged the micro usb and added some slack and the error went away. thanks for the chime in Loyd. fyi i have also petitioned to get you back

I doubt this claim of it being freely available.

Look at things like the Kraken - that was very purpose-built to fit onto the whirlpool.

That's why it was surprising to read. All their stuff seemed to be pretty custom-designed (at least the stuff I bought).

Anyone with a CE - where were the mounting bracket and hardware for your toppers located? I can’t find mine anywhere. I would have assumed in the topper box of course but I’m not finding them.

I’ve had this happen a few times but never any of the other issues

In topper box in a plastic sleeve

Figured as much. Seems they missed putting it in. Doh!

is there two different buzz multiball? i always get the buzz "quick" version, my wife was playing and she started a version where buzz was shooting his lazer on the screen every time she hit something for a score. can your shooter rod make the right ramp and onto the rail everytime? i really like the tiki multiball, the mini play to qualify is fun, and the multiball is great with the lightshow and sounds. Mod people , i would like to see custom spinners ( GNR has guitar pics) maybe corn candy? woody hat? replacement forky targets or maybe just really good sticker overlay's. this does NOT need any more lights LOL we went from pitch black WOZ to where is the dimmer! anyways i am really enjoying this one, the modes are fun, everytime i play i find something new, there is many different music tracks , the shots are fun, and the PF is packed full.

It’s pretty generic. If you have screws around. 4 in back and I think 4 on each side to hold it down. Small boot x4 with nut to hold the black piece on. Sucker is heavy but I think could be fine with what you have laying around

At the end of every game, this white post always goes down to release balls even if there are none. I assume all of them are like this. I'm hoping this gets fixed in a code update. Game knows if there is a ball in the lock with the optos.

I think only one buzz Mb (2 balls) but not sure

I can’t make the ramp off plunge ever- it’s too week. Only autoplunger makes it (easily)

Custom spinners would be cool. I just realize that the spinners are woody and Bo peep, and super spinners is them getting together/finding each other etc. (I’m a little slow on updates). Kinda cool though.

Other observations

The right orbit to ramp shot is so butter- I sometimes think no way a weak shot makes it but somehow it does. Very satisfying (vs left ramp which is wide and bit clunky sometimes with rejects)

Rescuer forky is incredibly satisfying. I could play whole games focusing on that (only done first round so far)

I can hit Kaboom maybe 50% on first one, but when you have opp to go 2 or more in a row I’m like 2% accuracy! I like challenge there.

Got to Carousel and then beat it second time (with Buzz) but this game is really enjoyable. Still so many things I don’t understand- it’s a very broad ruleset. The family playing it nonstop so that’s most important thing (if they playing pinball, I’m happy)

if i compress the barrel spring ( push th eshooter rod in ) i can make the ramp. any idea how to get the skill shot off the plunge? (plunge to ramp, to rail to R flipper then R flipper to woody spinner? )

The main way to get the skill shot is a short plunge. The playfield display will show you how to do it. It's not an easy skill shot.

If you hit the right ramp, you went too far.

hey everyone. I just got my game and had to do a Gabby adjustment which I've not seen on this forum.

for anyone having airball issues off the Gabby hole edge when in down position, there are spacers on some, maybe all games where the mech is attached to the underside of the PF. they are under the rear mounting screws of the mech. I had to remove them to render the top of Gabby's head-plate flush from front to back.

I have no idea why JJP put the spacers there; they caused the surface of the mech when in down position to be slanted, causing a flush front edge while the back was at least one millimeter beneath the PF surface, which jumped the ball in a big way.

that was the only adjustment I had to maike. It was quick and easy, and now the game is issue free, and amazing as hell. It is a fantastic game and the experience is really asset filled and amazing. the shots are so good, and the game is a bit simpler compared to GNR. It's a keeper

welcome to the club! yup TS4 is super fun! engages the whole family! . i had a similar situation with my spinner disk, it was to high on the left side and when the post would release the multi ball lock , the last ball would hang there between the disk and the ball gate. i had to add a 2mil washer on the left side mount point and the top mount point ( as you look at it with pf in up position) now is perfectly flat with the pf. i also had to raise my drop target , and adjust a couple switches .

Yeh unless there’s another one I don’t know about- the main skill shot is soft plunge so JUST makes it and when it falls into right orbit it just spins right into the Woody saucer. It’s hard but payoff awards v good

Gabby is adjustable, but it's only 1 screw up and down, not like Duke which has 4

Hey Guys,
Need some help. Had to take my game apart in order to fix a rubber in the pop bumper area but have run into an issue when putting it back together.
I can’t seem to remember where plastic 11 goes. It has a metal hex post on it, but I can’t seem to find a place it fits.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Thought I had a Zilla premium still strapped traded for a used LE, it fell through so heck anyone interested? Will contribute to pinside of course.

Not following…

Trade my new Zilla premium for a used TS4 LE.

Good luck this game is very underappreciated. Lot's of fun.

It's a standoff on the left side of the left ramp, basically right at the entrance as an airball protector(?).

Was able to play a few games on Toy Story 4 at the York show thanks to Cointaker.
