Order Cliffys now....

I could not find the adjustment for Shaker Motor anywhere in the menu. Is it in game or feature adjustments? Anyone know the number? Thank you!

For what

shooter lane and outhole at minimum

What outhole?

Where the ball goes when you drain. I can't recall if they started doing a beveled edge on SPIKE games or not, but that area tends to get chipped up.

I'm pretty sure I put one on mine

And the 3rd flipper post....

Ok, I was starting to think I was crazy, there is no outhole on mine. Has anyone had issues with these PF shipping?

Do you mean chipping? If so I don't believe there has been much of any issues with that since Stern redid the artwork removing art from under the posts. I think this was early on as well with the initial release (pro's and LE's I believe)

You'll likely be fine. I've purchased two NIB JP Premiums (Aug2020 and May2021 builds), and not an issue of any type with either. First had the thick clear coat, second had the thinner playfield finish. Both were perfect for me. I had no issues with gadgets, guides, ramps or Trex, or anything else. Some folks had a few minor issues, and a couple had some kind of major issue (like the TREX head not working), but MOST people find their machines just fine out of the box.

My suggestion, buy it, and then when it arrives add a few protectors and then enjoy.

I love the game.I cant stop playing it. It kicks my ass though.

I haven't had problems with mine. Has been holding up very well.

Cool. Have heard of chipping issues.... easy cheap insurance...

I feel like I got lucky with my game overall. I haven't had any issues with the T-REX or other mechs, no playfield issues, have had to make few, if any adjustments, haven't even had to replace coil stops even. It was my first NIB from Stern and overall, I was very happy with the game. *knockonwood*

Pretty much what one would expect from a new game.

Same... zero issues so far. Been really lucky with all 3 of my NIB Stern games....

Hi JP Fam!

I was curious if any of you experienced either of the the two issues:

-T-Rex opto sensors not recognizing a skill shot / MAP letter / Rescue intermittently. This has happened a few times during the past several games where sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. I ran switch tests on both opto sensors and both were recognized every time (ran the ball forwards and backwards). Same for the right loop opto sensor; intermittent registering, but switch tests are positive. I haven't been able to successfully NOT make them register. Seems to be random.

-Is it possible to perform a combo so quickly that the second combo is not registered?

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes, if the opto beam is hitting low on the playfield then the bottom (narrow) point of the ball on the playfield can cross it so fast that the beam isn't broken. Check these posts out for some info and suggestion on a fix. There have also been a fair number of recent posts about the same issue with the orbit opto on the new batch of JP2 deliveries.

I'd suggest turning the trough kickout to its minimum setting to avoid damage to the shooter lane - some also suggest installing a shooter lane protector as additional insurance. The other thing to check is the left screw on the tower ramp flap (shot from the upper flipper) and whether the ball can clip the head of the screw - if it does then grind a bit off the head, or replace the screw with a different type or the ramp flap can be replaced with a Cliffy carbon fibre adhesive protector.

Other than that, just start playing it and having fun - depending upon how it plays, there are various common issues such as not making the helicopter ramp from one or both of the plungers, ball hangs on the one way gate above the spinner, T-Rex catch issues ... but firstly see how your game plays.

Enjoy!

How many of you have made all the shots in the skill shot and how many times. I have done it twice in the 5 days I have had the machine.

You've hit all 4 in 5 days? Man, i can't get past #3, but been sooooooo close

Yes but now I can’t hit the second one.

I've hit 4 a whole bunch of times, but I don't even know what shot #5 is!

I have hit 4. I didn’t know there were 5. Damn.

Something to shoot for I guess. I love this game. It’s a keeper. And to think, I almost got turtles instead.

Has anyone punched the glass out of their JP?

2014 I was able to buy STLE for less money than the current JP premium. Several price hikes and far less negotiation room. To be fair the new pins have color display that we had to pay extra for on the older machines. I’m still glad the pinball industry is so strong that we have half a dozen (or more) very excellent pins in the last few years.

Has anyone else noticed after playing that the T-Rex motor housing in the back gets pretty hot. I’m thinking of adding a 12v cooling fan to the housing.

Mine gets very hot also. When I first got my game I was making some adjustments and couldn't believe how hot it got.

can you add a little lithium grease? I know the rule about grease and oil on a pin but the gear boxes for w/b pins had grease in them. I have taken them apart and cleaned and regressed them.

I have done it only three times. I have been going for the secret skill shots recently.

I posted this in the JP thread but thought I'd add here also. My young son has taken a liking to "streaming" pinball and JPLE is up next. Aimed towards kids, but you may enjoy also

Still getting my head around the production, any feedback welcomed.

Just turning the machine on and not even playing yet, that rear motor box begins to build up heat and get hot. Well I added a small 12v cooling fan now so lets see how this goes, if it reduces the heat by 50% that would be great.

Has anyone replaced the ugly black rubbers and posts with silicone? I did this last night and it makes one hell of a difference.

That was one of the first things I did

I replaced all rubbers and my ring kit is in Titan's database (czumwalt).

Dang....guess thats next on my list

Is your's "Chris Z" ? all the others in the database are annon except for Phillip. It's a shame there are no pics of any of them, do you have some pics of your game in this thread?

I’m with you! Pics would be very helpful

Yes, that is mine.

I have posted pics in the other JP thread - search "Titan" and my name.

For those who haven't figured out the thread search tool yet, let me do it for you

This is also why it sucks that 2 clubs started.
Either double posts or its only in 1 club...
Too late now.

Yeah, I'm constantly having to think where to put what I want to say based upon what versions it applies to.

It’s terrible having two clubs.

Almost as bad the ST club is to include all the various ST pins not just Stern ST.

Thanks for this information, today since my post, I have had around twenty new customers who have bought this mod. This interesting thing is mostly the spring made with the iron rod to give a realistic fly of Pteranodon when you shake your machine. I hope there is plenty of new customers on JP Machine because Stern sells this machine around the world every day. Here are a photo of my next new mods I built for this week. .
Tell me if you want it !

Regards,

Lionel.

How much is this

It might be good for you to work with one of the distributors here in the USA and have them purchase in quantity and then ship for customers in the USA. Shipping from Europe is expensive and take so much time. If you could send 20 of them to Mezel or Little Shop (or any other USA based mod vendor), they would add to their catalog and people would add to orders for other stuff, and save on combined shipping. I place orders all the time with places like that and would love to see your mod on any one of their sites next time I place an order.

Sweet, I'm glad you're getting some business (this is a nice easy mod that adds to the look of the game, IMO). I was just concerned that since the mod idea had been out for quite some time that those who liked it would have already done it. However, there will always be those who prefer to buy things ready to go instead of having to do a full DIY, so kudos to you for making this one available to JP owners.

You may run into issues finding the Papo Pteranodons as time goes on, as this is the same thing occurring with the helicopters and Jeeps. Funny how the launch of a pinball machine has impacted supply/demand on these toys.

I found two of these in my game that I just received today. I also noticed the trex rejects the ball sometime. Any help would
Be appreciated

Just received a few days ago, loaded in the movie code, tightened up the upper flipper post, leveled and set for 7 degrees and got the coil settings where I like em and removed a screw from the tower ramp thing replacing with mylar. This thing is great, thanks for all the helpful posts.
