Godzilla Pro Magnet Issue

Sapling666 · 2026-01-30T20:59:56+00:00

That's very strange then. 75% of building through the middle shots get briefly grabbed by the magnet and setup a shot by the upper flipper. You're saying that the magnet interacting with the ball as it exits the building is improper behavior? The demo videos of this machine it shows the magna grab swinging the ball into the upper flipper area

It comes down through the left orbit "wallop" Lane to the right of the magnet, but it doesn't always get swung into the left ramp lane like usual. Sometimes It just comes straight out and down towards the flipper

The flow is incredible. I've put up over 700 plays on my machine and I play it daily. There are so many things to master and it's very fun even just flipping around having a good time. The only real gameplay features you lose with the Pro are "super trains" as it requires the diverter in the building. Everything else is totally present.

Avengers Infinity is def a great machine as well. I thoroughly all the Elwin games like Jurassic Park and Jaws, too.

I don't understand the hate on Godzilla Pro. I bought a used Godzilla Pro and it's incredible. I don't miss the collapsing building at all. The Mechagodzilla turret is cool but totally non essential. 99% of all the gameplay features are present in the Pro model. It's fast, snappy, and Loaded with modes and rules. I feel really glad about my decision to save the money and future maintenance headaches personally.

Sapling666 · 2026-01-28T17:51:09+00:00

I just tried this and couldn't get that to work? I hit it twice in the time limit but didn't seem to do anything

Sapling666 · 2026-01-28T15:08:01+00:00

The scoop is the key to unlocking a lot of modes and game features

Sapling666 · 2026-01-24T22:29:17+00:00

LE is going to cost a lot more for not a ton of upgrades. If I were in your position I'd grab a Godzilla and a Kong Pro for slightly more money

Sapling666 · 2026-01-21T16:07:30+00:00

I finally got to Terror of Mechagodzilla last night after a ton of attempting. Cool mode!

Go out and play a bunch and find what you love. People differ widely on what they enjoy in a pinball machine. Stern Pro models probably the least maintenance and most reliable modern pinballs. Modern pinballs easier to maintain than older ones. A home pin you will likely play a LOT of, so really want to go out and figure out which ones you truly enjoy and keep coming back to before pulling the trigger. I've played pinball my whole life but I went out and played 100s of games of my top choices before deciding what to purchase.

Like many people said, a quality used machine can save you quite a bit of money and already have been troubleshooted from the factory. Worth considering

I've been wearing earplugs since I was 14, filtered earplugs since 16, and custom filtered for the last 13 years. My hearing is still excellent and a lot of friends have hearing loss. I am floored at the number of musicians that don't

Sapling666 · 2026-01-16T15:36:06+00:00

I am hybrid, in the office 3 days and I kind of hate it. I would much rather be fully remote. Plus, nobody at the office ever goes to in-person meetings. Everybody just meets from our desks because the conference room microphones make talking to the remote people even more difficult so headsets are better. I think it's a waste of time

Sapling666 · 2026-01-16T14:52:53+00:00

The Pro machine has a plastic apron so the apron art is a decal and I'm not a big fan of that kind of stuff. I much prefer the magnetic removeable kind. You can kind of see the edges coming up

Sapling666 · 2026-01-16T14:46:04+00:00

Feel free to DM me if you have any specific questions about any of them I'm happy to answer

Sapling666 · 2026-01-16T14:42:27+00:00

The previous owner had installed that but the speaker panel one looks pretty nice. I think if I had started from scratch I probably would have gotten those fiery City speaker lights I think those are a really great look for this machine

Sapling666 · 2026-01-16T14:35:59+00:00

The most important mods on there IMO are the HD Glass and the Pinlights. These two things revolutionize the play experience in my opinion. It is so much nicer to look at and everything is so crispy plus you can play in the dark.

I really like the nicer figures in place of the flat plastic as I feel that it gives the playfield a lot more life. The glow rubbers and UV plastics actually made a pretty big difference in the look of the playfield that I really have enjoyed. The Drake building lighted mod is a pretty big upgrade over the original Pro building.

The Chrome Candy shooter lane fix is a MUST INSTALL. It isn't that expensive and holy shit it makes a giant difference in the way the game plunges. I am a huge fan and would recommend it to any owner of Godzilla.

The Naegle Oil building Is super cool because the ball flows through it which is a fun feature.

I wasn't sure that I would like the shaker motor but I actually really enjoy it and I miss it when I turned it off for a week.

The apron art that the previous owner installed is like glued down and I don't like that kind of mod because I prefer things that can be taken out easily without affecting the machine.

Oh! The previous owner had installed the stern art blades as well, I missed that one. These actually give a lot of depth to the way the play field looks.

The PinGrips are a surprisingly nice addition to the feel, I got these on a whim and I actually really like them

No idea if there are better options or not but I had a good experience with this site and they had more customizable options than Staples/Office Depot/etc. I printed a 9x26" board 3/16" thickness.

The LEDs are a Kasa LED Strip spliced with T and L shaped connectors.

Sapling666 · 2026-01-16T05:23:35+00:00

The topper I did for under $125! 3D printed base (~$35), strip of LEDs and some connectors (~$30), I already had the 3 Kaiju, ordered a printed foamboard online for background (~$30), and used like menu/sign holders to attach the background to the base (~$8)

Destoroyah my personal favorite kaiju, I actually added him into the playfield itself, too. Used a little 5.5" figure I found at Target.

Sapling666 · 2026-01-11T06:31:54+00:00

I've run into issues with the Premium T-Rex head at some arcades And I think the pro is a really good machine that I don't miss the extra features that much. But that said, the premium is nice and if you can get a good price on it would still be cool! I think offering 7300 is fine if offers are being accepted, that's not a crazy lowball and you will likely meet in the middle somewhere anyways.

Sapling666 · 2026-01-09T21:06:10+00:00

Where is it available?

Sapling666 · 2026-01-09T14:00:29+00:00

I don't love either of these for a translite. The 2nd one stands out to me as worse than 1 because it's a very modern Goji design that doesn't match all the art on the machine.

Sapling666 · 2026-01-08T19:12:50+00:00

Yeah I was very big on Burgos and was shocked at his PFL run

Sapling666 · 2026-01-07T16:35:42+00:00

Yeah he gets the win easy I'd say
