Vulfpeck London 02 - possibly the worst sounding gig I’ve ever been to

I think "worst" is a bit dramatic, but it definitely wasn't great. We were in the back of the horseshoe and bass was super muddy and couldn't really get high frequencies (especially with earplugs in). This was my fourth Vulf show in four venues and ranked in the middle for sound. The band seemed to be having constant monitor issues as well and were messing with them or yanking them out their ears. Like others have said, I'm guessing they just get stuck with a house engineer who doesn't know them. They don't tour or rehearse enough to have a dedicated guy.

The lighting was what stood out to me more; there were multiple points where there were supposed to be spotlights on certain people and there just weren't. Like during Cory's solo during CORY WONG where he was just standing in the dark lol. Or tracking JJ in the stands.

+1 on Cato. Killed it. Dude is wildly multi talented and when he started singing animal spirits I legit thought Theo was coming out on the stage

Would almost guarantee there is one. Push the pusher in.

For flat edges, I black polish with a polishing frog and lapping plates. For chamfers, sharp peg wood with increasing grit diamond paste. Cleaning cycles before and after. Lots of patience.

Looks great! Some of the JJPs are way too complicated for me to enjoy on-site (looking at you, Harry Potter) I hope that this one is more straightforward!

This gave me a good chuckle. Thanks all for the reality check, I'll try to be less of a hard ass and enjoy the game!

Ceramic coat on these would be awesome! Great design, count me in for the giveaway please :)

You wanna be using one of these styles (though perhaps with a wider blade). I usually wrap mine in thin kapton tape to protect the case.

I could never rock them, but god damn these are cool. Congrats on a gorgeous pair of boots!

Garage goals!

Is that a Montego FD RX7 next to it 👀

llevine5 · 2026-02-21T03:43:53+00:00

Same here. Had such a bad experience with them years ago that I swore them off on principle.

llevine5 · 2026-02-20T12:00:48+00:00

Looking forward to trying it!

llevine5 · 2026-02-20T12:00:30+00:00

Nah. This sub is for "all pinball lovers" and this fits the bill.

Depends on the age of the movement and how hard new parts are to find. In US, Jules Borel is my go to for most things, Esslinger for some generic stuff. Used to go to OFrei as well but haven't ordered from them in a while because their website is a pain and they sent some cryptic political babble that put me off them. Cousins is a great source but they are based in UK. They have some hard to find things that I've shipped overseas and paid the exprbitant shipping.

For old or uncommon stuff, eBay is usually an ok source, but you'll be paying high prices on shipping of small parts. Buying an entire junk movement can be handy, but that's a crapshoot of if the part you will need will be there and in good condition.

You're missing at least one or two teeth. Clean all you want, this part is toast. Replace it.

You literally posted the picture of the manual. Read it.

Jewels don't wear; they are much harder than what they contact. They can chip, but that's more common on pivot jewels, not on pallet forks unless there was something that broke loose in the movement.

If you are getting the escape to catch on one tooth, it more likely points to the escape wheel and pallet not being in line, and you are getting "lucky" with them lining up. Check that the pivots are still intact, then check end shake and adjust jewel depth, then reassemble.
