Quoted from Breger1:

I was going pro then upgrading to premium due to my impatience, but found a hobbit Smaug to keep me satisfied for a while

Quoted from pascal-pinball:

Looks like a LE arrived in Belgium today.
It’s for a special event.

Quoted from Flynnyfalcon:

For those using Pinstadiums on JP, where are you plugging your UV flashers into? Not even convinced the game needs the UV, but will plug it in and decide.

Quoted from caker137:

So the tape thing clearly works, but I was looking for a more permanent solution. Here's how a few washers can fix this and it's pretty easy.
[quoted image]First you can check your opto alignment with a ball in switch test mode (I used some magnets to position it into the beam). My ramp was fine (I had to lift the ball over 1/4" to get the beam to detect), but both of my orbit optos were able to "see" the beam with the ball raised only about a 1/16". If the ball is flying it may sail over the beam, or at the very least get de-bounced with the bottom of the ball only breaking the beam for a very short time.
[quoted image]
So you're looking for this bracket for each of the optos. Take loose the 2 1/4 hex screws and unplug and remove the opto assembly.
[quoted image]
There are 2 philips head screws holding each opto plastic to the metal bracket. You want to remove these screws and slide a washer onto both screws underneath each opto.
[quoted image]
I had a 0.060" thick #4 nylon washer that was perfect. You can see the optos sitting up a little higher on the bracket.
[quoted image]
Reinstall the opto into the game and you're all set. As you can see the LED is slightly higher in the hole.
This makes all the difference, and now my optos don't fail to trigger unless you raise the ball over 1/4" high off the playfield. I've not had any fast opto shots fail to trigger after this fix.
Enjoy!

And here is my cute Roxy pretending to be a TREX lol..[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from wilder828:

I have had the auto-plunge occur on my machine. I'll see if it only happens on multi-player games. In addition, I get -- ball goes out of play while within the save period, but ends. Ball goes down escape and unlights escape but ends. And then I get all sorts of weird trex mode starts... some with +1 ball, some without any balls. The machine also spends lots of time looking for missing balls... usually after one of these events....when none are missing. It doesn't always happen, but is happening very frequently now, to where it's not much fun to play.

Quoted from timlah79:

Perhaps there's already an answer I just can't find it. Curious if any company has put together a full rubber + plastic replacement set for JP (post sleeves, o-rings etc.)? I'm traversing the parts list and adding onesie twosies to my Pinball Life cart, wondering if there's a better way / simply a set I can buy with desired colors. Looks like some companies have put together sets for other games.

Quoted from adamross:

You have two Munsters?

Quoted from Nameim:

Yesterday, my left ramp/trex opto suddenly stopped working on my JP premium. On closer inspection I think found the problem. Part of the post on the right side of the entrance to the ramp is missing leaving the opto vulnerable to bashing. I don’t think it was ever there since there are no “spare parts’ floating around the playfield or cabinet. I have contacted Stern and they are sending parts.[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from bbulkley:

My JJP POTC has zero black rubber (comes that way from the factory) and there is still plenty of black on the flippers. Either way I think you're going to need regular cleaning.

Quoted from hornisse69:

Someone have a idea to change the helicopter rotor blades ?
maybe a cover or a total exchange ?
They are so ugly..

Quoted from jalpert:

You need the blades to spin on the Prem/LE. The blades are an optical switch that has game play implications.

Quoted from madscientist101:

My TRex head came with a scratch from
Factory.. I am asking for a replacement.. you guys think It should be replaced? I do...

Quoted from mthirkell:

I don't know of a better game, but it keeps dropping in the ratings. I see someone recently gave it a 7.64, which would put it at #120 between Royal Rumble (WWF) and Mustang. I mean, that's just absurd.

Quoted from ABE_FLIPS:

anyone have had a ultra loud flying ball into the glass from control room coil coming up to late and hitting the ball (premium).
i play in a quiet room and i nearly sht my pants ...and i was thinking about building an airball protector, because it happened 3 times already.
EDIT: just happened again! ouuch

Quoted from mthirkell:

I thought the game was dark; had to add the Omegas, too. So much of a difference.

Quoted from Gee_Bananas:

n00b here,
Never owned a pin before and decided on a JP Premium NIB over a STh Premium. It get's delivered on Monday.
Lurked through the thread and read about some of the major issues, but what should a rookie be on the look out for? I'm a beginner player, so my eye isn't keen enough to know if it's user error or manufacturer error. How soon would I see defects on the PF due to ghosting, pooling, dimples? Are there major mech issues too?

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

Not in a real rush. Also, if I decide I want an LE then I assume the second hand market will be my only choice (Have all LE's sold? If not, I'm sure any left are over priced).
