Sold GUNS N' ROSES (CE) NIB

even that won't make any difference in the medium term, pull off the plastics between the ball guides and have a heart attack. The playfield issues are far from sporadic they are common place on the first 1000 or so games...
 
On my old LE - I took out the JJP posts on the inlane/outlanes and put in Williams ones.. with a hammer..

I turned down the pop bumper power, it’s now at Medway pinball, not sure how many games it has now, but it is going quite well..

Although I don’t think you would now get the posts out without damage

To be fair if I had a GnR I would replace every post using the method I showed on the video (on the last page).

Will say that in the UK I have been out to more GnR's than anyone else in this country, and since doing these PFs I am not seeing further problems.

The issues I have seen since are:

Lighting control board under playfield
Inductive switches under the guitar headstock on mini PF and skill shot
Board troughs (thanks to @myPinballs no longer an issue)
Spotlights breaking
Mechanical assemblies coming apart
Power supplies needing jumpstarting after battery bios died

Now considering how many GnRs have sold - this is not a bad percentage of games having issues. I have set up NIB Sterns and found issues and things disconnected that should of been sorted in the factory so no company is perfect.


I also turn down HOLD POWER on all assembies that have that function (flippers/divertors) to the lowest setting. This ELIMATES FLIPPER COOLING.
Alot of the other assemblies need the power turning down - pop bumpers/slings etc

The UK doesnt suffer with low AC line current like the USA does - and I think they have set everything up for US use.
