Just watched the movie, as everyone else said, amazing!. Huge smile on our faces when the theme played. Came out of that straight into wonka which was also surprisingly good.
Watched Godzilla Minus One last night, thoroughly enjoyable nice simple film, even Stacy enjoyed it. Loved hearing the original theme tune and every time trains, tanks or Godzillas heat ray was featured we had a little grin and it made us want a quick flip

Pretty good timing with this one, seems like there is a ton of godzilla related content being released left and right:
well done.
It’s taken me a year but tonight off 1 ball I got here , then 3 later here
2 monsters and 2 city’s
Tank, bridge and building multiball, Rampage and Monster Zero. Lined up for mecha but ran out of mental steam
And it felt perhaps even with wayne’s fans that i got my first flipper fade ??
So happy to be in the billionaires club

Quick question regarding my flipper alignment, when they are 'flaccid' they are aligned perfectly, but when 'erect' the left one doesn't rise as high? I can make all the shots no problem, I only noticed it as the left is a little more difficult to cradle.
I assume they should be a mirror of each other when raised?

Check your coil stops
Is that one of the issues of deteriorating coil stops?
I had this on RS this evening - having just replaced both coil stops…?
I've got some coil stops on the way so will take a look when they arrive.
I totally rebuilt both flippers on WCS and I had this issue. Turned out one of the flipper base plates had slightly different dimensions, I put the old plate back (it had a stripped hole but I hacked it) and they were perfect again.
Concerning that repro parts have different dimensions

I was [previously] sure they were all the same!
Depends if you've replaced just one. I'm not saying it's the same issue for you, but that I had a similar issue which surprised me.
I may have only replaced one, but convinced myself I’ve done both (actually all 4). The more I think back - I probably haven’t! It’s been so long…. But she’s finally playable!
New coil stops arrived so lifted the playfield. Apart from the 'nubs' having a bit of play in them they looked OK, but replaced them anyway...still the same issue. I could also see the EOS switch was only just being opened compared to the other one.
Potentially the plungers are slightly different lengths, but I thought the easiest was to lengthen the plunger stroke was to file the coil stop down a bit. Looking much better now but is that an acceptable solution?
Despite me being ultra careful with screws/washers I managed to drop and lose 3 of them. One hid itself behind the shaker's casing, one stuck to the bass speaker and after an hour of searching for the washer that goes on the coil stop, I finally realised I'd put 2 on the right flipper
. A 15 minute job took over 3 hours.I also found a bulb in the back of the cab, no idea where that is from. *Found where it goes now, one of the three under the sling was missing, no idea how that came out.

If you look up pinball in the dictionary; this should be the entry.
You’ve masked the issue but not strictly resolved it unless coil stops were different lengths. I’ve seen the eos actuator get stuck on top of the eos switch before which limited the flipper movement. I’ve also seen the eos actuator come in contact with a screw underneath which again limited the flipper movement.New coil stops arrived so lifted the playfield.

The coil stops were the same length, and the plunger measured the same length as far as I could tell without taking it out completely.
I can't see anything unusual with it so will just play it now.
Does anyone use their chin (or other bodily item) to press the 'charge heat ray' button? I never have a free hand to hold it down long enough.
That’s a +1 for the chin manoeuvre
Or get the kids to push it for me if they are close.

Has anyone put Pinmonk fans in their Godzilla, was it worth it?
Did you do all 3 flippers or just the 2 main ones?

I've got some fans (Wayne's) on mine, definitely think it's worth it for these longer-playing Stern games. Are you struggling to make ramps after playing for 30-40 min with lots of multiballs?
Don't think it's necessary on the 3rd flipper though.
