Jaws! By Stern… We’re going to need a bigger games room !
- Thread starter Silverpaolo
- Start date
I agree, I’ve played some more after posting and it’s pretty consistent now.
I have spoken to John now at Precision pinball and he is going to ship directly as the Europe distributor won’t be carrying them.
Does anyone want a set or two? Helps break the shipping up. He hasn’t given me a cost yet but the prices on his pinsite are as follows
JAWS PRECISION SPINNING DISC AND OPTIONAL BUSHING UPGRADE
Available for Jaws Pro, Premium, and LE this new precision replacement Disc is machined from solid aluminum billet and mates to a new stainless steel precision shaft. When paired with the replacement metal bushing (incorporating oilite bronze sleeves) the disc assembly will rotate smooth as silk...pinside.com
Replacement Disc Complete, Main Playfield - $61.50
Replacement Disc Complete, Upper Playfield $57.50
Replacement Bushing for upper or main playfields - $33.50
John gave us a discount on flipper sets at TPF as we bought quite a few off him.
Maybe he will do a deal if we can get to say 5 orders minimum? I think that’s what was needed at TPF for the discount.
I’d be interested in the main PF one and a bushing.
Always love new code day! This game is awesome
This is the production version, I don’t think John will mind me showing this as it’s already been shown somewhat on Pinside.
Gorgeous craftsmanship and an absolute must in my opinion, as it removes the bad stern design that’s certainly going to damage balls.

That's a much better thing for your balls to clang into than what Stern produced

What's it like removing the sticker from the original part, assuming a bit of heat with a hairdryer would help ?

Do you think Colly could do a laser etched reel design on it ?
I don’t want to say to much but I can say John has something coming specifically designed for his reel.
Do we need to hold off on ordering these sets untill this is released?
Fully deserved recognition for @stumblor for best mod in This Week in Pinball. Great workWow... stunning mod from Stumblor

Thats why I passed on my spot in the queue...
Not how the game is supposed to be played
Wouldnt it have been better if it swallowed the ball and then spat it back out again so that play wasnt changed, would have thought the mech would have been easier as well not needing the subway, etc.
Also is that "snorkel" for the rear VUK 3d Printed? Wonder how long that will last before it has a nice hole in the top of it and starts to do a Thunderbirds move.

Nope I’ve spoke to John and all is good to discuss. So order away on the precision discs. I would highly recommend getting the full kit though after having them in hand for a week or so, the craftsmanship is stunning plus John is a super nice guy so well worth supporting him.
If you have the Prem/LE get the orca wheel disc/spinner too, it doesn’t have the machined raised mount underneath as there is no weight on the wheel disc but again it’s a huge improvement over Sterns and a lot more gentle on your balls
I am making movie replica replacements for the flat plastics, both Quints Reel and the Orca Wheel are currently at the manufacture, hoping to have the production prototypes back by this Friday.
No parts are FDM 3D printed, both the Reel and Wheel will be made from a mixture of the materials, Davey has used for his Tokyo Neon sign, my Deadpool Hellhouse Sign and my Wireless DB5 Bond Shooter.
The Quint Reel, will remove all the exposed screws shown on the plastic, it also saves you having to drill out or file off your rivets to remove the factory plastic from Sterns disc to use on Johns. It will also remove the weighted post as the Reel handle is weighted to replace it and add further realism/movie accuracy to the part.
The Orca Wheel is again movie accurate will remove all visible screws. I’ve added the test Wheel below as I am happy to show that currently as the production material will be the only change, paint applications will stay the same.
They have been designed in collaboration with John to specifically fit his discs and improve the visual aesthetics while keeping the improved performance of Johns work.

Please count me in for both

Thank you guys, it is always nice to make something that others enjoy. As I said above I highly recommend the full upgrade from John, once you get his in hand and compare it to Sterns it is night and day.
John was super helpful and provided everything I needed to ensure my sculpts fitted and functioned with his discs like they came direct from him. There is no need to wait to buy from John once you have his hardware installed, the only change that is needed (providing you have not fitted the Stern disc plastics by drilling or filing the rivets off the factory discs) to fit my sculpts will be removing the factory weighted post and swapping out his retaining hex nut with mine which will simply be longer, super easy.
Installed blue rubbers and collys blue plastic protectors and wow what a visual difference! The plastic protectors take a bit to install but are epic, especially around the back. I imagine they probably look even better on the pro as you will see more.
Game is getting better all the time! Recent code updates is making this game so intense!! It’s so hard to focus on one mode/challenge at a time!
