I usually like to clean the playfield once you start seeing distinct ball trails in the inlanes. This will usually correspond to light smudging on the playfield graphics. You can also run you fingers over the playfield surface and if you see a lot of black residue in your fingertips, it is usually time. Since I go through phases with plain certain games a lot all at once, it’s hard to give a specific timeframe. It really comes down to how often you play it. I can tell you when I put about 300 plays on venom over about a month of playing it got dirty pretty quick and I needed to clean it. If it gets really dirty, then the ball will slow down and the playfield will look pretty grimy.

All are great games. I love Jaws and JP a little more than BM66. Izzy Pinball may not agree with me but I am sticking by to that one 😂

@@HurryUpPinballI’m with you. Plus my kids just aren’t into Batman, won’t play it

Super tough call for me at the moment. I really like both. JP code is essentially complete with code and Jaws has more to go before 1.0 code. I have the same amount of fun playing both at the moment. I honestly can’t decide between the two so my recommendation is to get both 😂 I think Jaws has the potential to be better than JP depending on what happens with the code.

@@HurryUpPinball okk but I asked in comparison to godzilla prem not jurassic park... 😂😂

Thanks for that info about the last digit. Never knew that. I really feel like they both play about the same but I do like the cosmetic upgrades on the CE over the standard. Both games were fast and brutal. I wanted some more time with this one and was able to grab it locally so I jumped on it.

Agree, great game. I’m looking to add one back to the collection, wish I lived closer, as I know it’ll sell quick.

Thanks for the feedback. I had a hard time figuring some things out so I thought I would do my best to help others with common problems. Pins aren’t that scary once you get used to certain things. Glad to see the hobby continue to grow and hope to help that any way I can.

Paul Rudd is awesome. I really enjoy streaming and chatting with everyone. Pinball is my happy space so why get angry….unless the game is being unfair right 😂 I just remembered my daughter had on the Kaua’i shirt. We were there last summer - was her first time and she loved it.

😂

I checked the stern manual and there is no part number for the nylon plunger. Here is a link to pinball life and they have a few stern plungers available. You may need to measure the length to determine which one is correct. It’s a bummer they don’t include a part number for the plunger in the schematics. www.pinballlife.com/bell-armatures-plungers-and-vuks.html?CatListingOffset=0&Offset=0&Per_Page=20&Sort_By=name_asc

Good times for sure.

Haha! Do it!

It with me…and safe 😆

Definitely agree. This one is a loaner so haven’t done much to it.

Yeah. I wish they were easier to remove but unfortunately they are buried behind the backbox hinge. Couldn’t seem to find an easy way to get them out.

I just did. Looks pretty cool. He’s been cranking out a lot of stuff lately.

It was a fun trip and Motörhead was fast and mean…just like the music 🤘

Thanks for the advice. It’s tough to get through with a single ball in time. I need to be more aware about getting multiballs ready to go for modes.

Thanks for the heads up. I have had a few times where I ordered and they sent the wrong thing. It needs to be a 5pin rgbw. I’ll see if I can update the links.

Sorry for that. Until you mentioned it, I was unaware that the link was changed to a 4pin Rgb led strip. I have updated both videos with new info and it appears the 5pin set is no longer available but you can buy the parts individually so I linked them in the video.

They seem to have gotten better over the past year but the pinball life ones work great and last a long time if you are looking to switch them. Thanks for the feedback and the support!

Congrats. Those are two great games.

Thank you for the support. I really appreciate it. I keep all mods on hand and ready to ship and was able to get yours in the mail today.

@@HurryUpPinball You bet, and I’m looking forward to receiving/installing it😎😎😎

If you use the WiFi controller, you do not need the LOS sensor. You do need to have a wireless router on a 2.4ghz network. It won’t work with 5.0ghz. I have an eero mesh router and it bounces aback and forth between 2.4 and 5.0 ghz so I hooked and older router up to the eero so I would have a set 2.4ghz router for the lights. I also use it for insider connected games.

Thank you so much!

I find it is usually a bad SD card that causes those types of issues and it is a good place to start when trying to diagnose things. Let me know if it helps.

Yup this was the issue 100%. Formatted/installed new card and it boots up perfectly, about 5 seconds faster than before as well. Thanks again for the solid tutorial

Awesome. Glad to hear it solved the problem. I have had a few SD cards on new games take a dive so I usually start with the SD card when problem solving. Glad it’s up and running.

It’s the rocket city pinball airball suppression mod. It keeps the chum line plastic from drooping when the ball rolls over it. When it droops, it hits the lip on the other side of the shark fin slot and causes the ball to become airborne thus messing with the reel shot. Super easy install and a fantastic price.

I purchased that from them already. I thought there was some mod you were referring to within the spinning reel area itself.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I just update the parts list as Amazon was linking the 5pin rgbw light strips to the 4pin rgb strips. I linked the parts individually so you can check prices on the led strip, power supply, and line of sight remote. I highly recommend the WiFi controller in place of the LOS sensor/remote. These lights and the intensity can be dialed in so you don’t to have to worry about the brightness of the room. They can be tweaked as needed.

@@HurryUpPinball Thanks I love when people in the community provide diy ideas instead of always trying to comercialize everything. This is a great diy thanks so much.

@@HurryUpPinball Curioius what these look like when playing with lights on in the room? Or is it more for playing in dimmed rooms? I always see the videos and pics in dark rooms making it look amazing.

@@ThenewbieTraveler they brighten up the game even with the lights on in a room but using these in a darkened room is really where they have the biggest impact.

They are mounted with magnetic tape. Most games have enough room to clear the tape. I would recommend cabinet protectors as well just to be safe.

The wave ramp is a full 180 loop. If you make it 3/4 of the way but not all the way, it will drop on the wire form leading to the right flipper and you get credit for the shot. You have to pick the wave ramp clean to get on the ship.

@@HurryUpPinballI see! Thanks man.

Jaws, Labyrinth, then TCM in my opinion.

@@HurryUpPinball thanks mate. really appreciate the reply

I really like Jaws. It’s up there with GZ and JP in my opinion. Very fun game to shoot and not a slow moment anywhere. Tension is great.

@@HurryUpPinballthanks mate, that’s good to hear. I’m close

I was debating that. You can also place the screws through and then add the rubber rings to the screws before placing the plastic as the rings are snug on the screws.

All the premiums got into homeowners hands. It went from the 60s to #1. It is a great game and I don’t see it dropping much outside of the first 3-4 spots.

Still waiting on my premium like a kids can’t wait just got all the mods sitting here waiting to go in

Wish I had I don’t care money because the LE is so pretty lol

@@richie2116 I hear ya. The LE is beautiful.

I’m glad it helped and thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

Great finally getting to meet you as well. Thank you for all the support and I hope you got to play some amazing games at TPF. We had a blast.

It really is a great event. Lots of games to play and tons to do.

It’s a really good time. Hope to catch you there sometime soon!

It’s a fantastic game in terms of overall sterns and I would put it up there with JP and GZ. It’s still early code but it is so much fun and very engaging. Pulls you in very quickly.
