I was told by my distributor that Premiums were to ship second week of October but that was a few weeks ago and I don’t know if that’s changed. The anticipation is killing me. I would love to hear when someone gets word of their Premium shipping.

Oh man, don’t tell me that. I put the name down for a premium in late July so lets hopefully I won’t be waiting that long.

Anyone receive word about any Premiums shipping yet?

I preordered mine in late July and paid up the end of September. I’m trying to resist the urge to contact my distributor yet again to see if I’m ones getting it this week. (I’ve emailed a lot)

That’s it, I’m emailing and asking!

Got the word my Premium shipped. I’m keeping my fingers crossed it will arrive by the weekend.

Well that was fast... Got word of my Premium shipping this morning and FedEx just called to arrange delivery for tomorrow. So excited!

So I setup my new pin. T. rex head moving around (kinda loud) but mouth won’t open. I can manually open it. What am I missing?

I have mechanical aptitude but can’t figure why the mouth won’t open. If you manually lower the bottom jaw you should feel a spring like resistance right?

So got a chance to dive in a bit more and troubleshoot. I hear a click of when I do a coil test to open mouth but no go. Thoughts?

I looked and found nothing. If I hear a subtle click on coil test, maybe my jaw coil is working but something else is not? Should I call my distributor or Stern?

Went to play a quick game this morning before work and in addition to my T Rex jaw not working, 1/2 the GI and the third flipper weren’t working. What the hell?! Now I’m just frustrated and disappointed. I’ll be calling Stern this afternoon.

I will, I didn’t have time this morning... I figured I’ll see what I can figure out and then call Stern. I have to call them about the T. rex anyway

Found my GI/flipper problem. Shaker motor must have shaken my Pinstadium light free and the cord fell in between the right flipper switch rendering it all useless. Easy fix. Now on to the T. rex jaw.

So update on my situation. I spoke with Stern and current thought is bad mini coil. But when I run the test I do hear a click. When rummaging around I found a lost screw that fits the description in this diagram. I think this could be my problem but does anyone have any idea how to get to it? I’d really rather not remove my whole assembly... maybe a right angled screw driver to remove the plastic T. rex head from the underlying mechs?

Or it could be this one...

Quick update. I’m thrilled I was able to fix the T. rex myself. I was right, screw fell from jaw mech. All working great now.

My premium with the new Pinstadium Omegas. So bright, I love it!

Okay, so I’m starting to understand the rules... In no particular order you have T Rex events, advancing paddocks, raptor events, chaos multiball and supply drops to increase scoring etc... But they all seem somewhat isolated from each other and I’m having trouble figuring out an overarching approach to the game. Any thoughts?

Do you do the minimum number or rescues to advance or try to pile them up?

I posted this in the other JP thread as well but I have a new problem since yesterday...

The up post on the control room shot is somehow dropping lower and I keep getting balls stuck in the divot where the post comes out. Suggestions?

I updated this morning and now I can’t adjust any of the coil strengths... thoughts?

When I go through the “standard adjustments” it skips several numbers.

I found the adjustments, I’m an idiot. Forgot they are under “feature adjustments.”
