You know you're just posting sarcastic, over-the-top laudatory shit about EJ ever since you were warned off by the moderators. Until then, it was all critical stuff and you were asked to take it to the hype thread. You don't own the game and this is an owners' thread. Feel free to come back when you put your money where your mouth is.

Quoted from romulusx:

Thank you sir!

Quoted from bwalter:

Most of the Owners’ Club threads on Pinside are welcoming to prospective and future owners, which I’ve always liked (my CE is coming in a couple weeks, hopefully) but there’s a limit to how much one should be spewing in any forum, especially one in which you technically do not belong.
It was getting ridiculous. I have never felt a stronger urge to press the Ignore button on Pinside, and that’s sad because across the various Owners’ Club threads that I lurk/post in, the users are generally nice and helpful.

Quoted from VisitorQ:

Yes and not everyone has 15k at their disposal either. I welcome you here even though you are not technically an owner yet like me.
Congrats on your purchase. I hope to say the same thing soon!
ps. I found those glasses that guy was wearing on Twitch last night if you want to order them now for when your game gets here. I did order these so now I feel like I am more part of the club here. Hopefully others will see it as a step in the right direction.

Pretty sure a pair of those comes with the game?

hopefully this link will take you to the Amazon lights. Grab some DMX 512 cables, and connect the lights to the light on Elton so everything will be in sync.

Calm down folks this is absolutely hilarious on so many levels.

If you don't share in my excitement for this game I am sorry. Just because I like it and have nice things to say about it, why shouldn't you?

Quoted from PinCrush:

Thanks for the link! I run a pretty big holiday lights show so I'm up to my elbows in DMX cables. I'm also going to try it with a some wireless DMX repeaters although the transmitter may be a tight fit on the topper. Fun stuff.

Quoted from flynnibus:

Stop cluttering up the thread with jibbjab. Its the owners thread… not ‘my thoughts about EJ thread…’. Didn’t drop in to find 40 new posts circling around something not wven game related

Quoted from Flaverflav:

Hi Guys,
Pinsignal is available for EJ. If interested you can get more informations on my Shop or by PM.

Quoted from PinCrush:

I installed the pixelpete rope light extenders today and the results are amazing! I was missing so much of the rope light from my player position. I took coasterguy's advice and loosened all the clips first, then started in the middle with the two longest extenders. I'm guessing everyone will have a slightly different configuration for their own machine, so I changed a few things.
I added a clip to the ramp plastic top mount to support the end of the rope light. I had to replace the existing machine screw with one a bit longer to accomadate the clip. I also used a zip tie to mount the rope light on top of the extender behind the ramp sign. For whatever reason, this just worked the best for my setup. You can't see it behind the sign anyway, so I went with what worked best for me.
I've very happy with this mod. Bang for the buck is through the roof. Highly recommended.

Quoted from pixelpete:

thanks #pindel!!! Glad my LED Clips are working out for you!

Quoted from pixelpete:

#pincrush thank you for the comments and post showing my LED Clip mod! So cool to see how the EJ community is using LED Clips to make EJ even better! Anyone interested, you can see the mod in the Marketplace if you search Elton John mods or DM me. Thanks all! -pixelpete

Quoted from Herbie21:

I like your comments, as not being an owner yet, like me, i agree with all you are saying, it is difficult to accept that there is a new kid in town, even more when you own 5 stern machines!

Quoted from VisitorQ:

Thank you friend and future owner. Have you decided on buying the PE or the CE? Sorry if you already posted that information and I missed it.
Yes. I know what you mean. I have owned JJP games in the past but am currently stuck with all Sterns. Wish I never had sold my Godfather CE, that was my fist mistake. Sure I really like Bond but it's not the same as Godfather. I may end up changing up my whole line up. Dump the Sterns pick up another GF CE and a EJ CE. Have you played Godfather yet? It's good but not as good as Elton John. Well I shouldn't say that because they are totally different games.

Quoted from PinCrush:

While working on the machine today, I decided to address a potential issue that has been bugging from the start. I have very little clearance between the light rope clip on the far left of the loop and the side art. Its close enough that the art protector won't easily squeeze in (you can force it). There is no damage but I'm concerned that over time the screw holding the clip will rub a spot in the art.
First, I checked for play in the back of the playfield to see if I could just push it slightly to the right. No luck. Then, I tried adjusting the wireform by loosening all the mounts and sliding it to the right. Only slight improvement. My final solution was to remove the machine screw and replace it with a tiny white zip tie. You'll see in the pic that its still tight, but much better without the screw. I don't suspect I'll have any problems going forward. [quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from iceman44:

Ok guys. Just dialed in the new Pinwoofers and 12” Klipsch sub (with Pinwoofer connection kit)
OMG!!!!
The sound is good stock. Not good enough
If you want the full experience of this unbelievable game you have to add the pinwoofers and sub/sub kit.
Gotta have the sub bass for all songs but especially Bennie and Jets, Philly Freedom etc
It’s just next level. Not a minor difference. MAJOR!
12” Klipsch sub. And it’s not just about the Bass. The clarity in combination is unreal.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited about how great these mods make this already incredible pin.

Quoted from PinCrush:

The wife and kids had a great time playing Elton today and claim to have made the picture parade. Everyone wants to watch their picture go by but I can't figure out how to bring up the picture parade on-demand. Standing there waiting to cycle through everything can be a long wait - in fact most everyone got bored and checked out. Lost opportunity to build more pinball love.
Is there a button combo to go straight to the pics??

Quoted from Charlemagne1987:

Quick question: I don’t know if this was covered somewhere else in this thread, but when playing the “Pinball Wizard” song and the lcd is flashing through images it goes black for a millisecond before hitting the next image. I noticed that it only does it on that song. On all other songs the images flow seamlessly into each other with no blank screen. It doesn’t seem like a big deal. I’m just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

Quoted from Ballypin:

"...deaf, dumb and BLIND kid..." Lights go out in sync with the lyrics. Flippers also flutter at "crazy flipper fingers". Pops also fire during song.

Quoted from PinWoofer:

Hey iceman44 ! Great to see your post.
I've lost count of how many PinWoofer systems you have but based on our past conversations, I trust your ear. Can you share what you've done in the menu and where you have your amp controls set? (Our CE delivers first week of May so it will be a bit before I can correlate your settings.) This is what we have for recommended / starting. settings:
https://pinwoofer.com/blog/pinwoofer-jersey-jack-pinball-elton-john/
I'll also mention the BBU (Bass Boost Unit) that you have in play. If you like external subs, this is a great gadget. It has a bass frequency cutoff, so it gives you a steep roll-off compared to running straight to the inputs. There is such a thing as bass quality, and I think the BBU nails it:

Good times. Have a stellar day all!

Quoted from iceman44:

I’ll give those settings in the menu a try too Dan.
Gotta get the super kit guys! Well worth it.
Dan is right about the “bass quality”. It’s so good and easy with the kit!
Pinwoofers are great to enhance any pin. But for a music pin, it’s a no brainer.

Quoted from Charlemagne1987:

Damn! That’s awesome! Thank you so much for telling me that. I was worried that there might be something wrong with my game. Now I think it’s even more incredible than I already thought it was.

Quoted from Nate1979:

It is amazing how much time you have on your hands. Why people care what others like is always interesting to me. Will you tell us next what the best food is or most attractive women?
Funny part is I own 5 sterns and haven’t played them in 45 days since receiving Elton. Last night, I decided to give a few a play. They honestly felt cheap, poorly lit, etc.
My only wish is JJP would hurry up with next game and please make it matrix so I can purchase it asap.

Quoted from frobozz:

It doesn't come up every "cycle" through all the attract screens - maybe every 4th one? But you can speed the cycle along with the flipper buttons. Just press one button repeatedly until you see the pictures come up. If you overshoot it, press the other button to back up to it.
Oh, while it's displaying the pictures and scrolling them side to side, pressing the action button will pause them for a moment, for instance if you wanted to take a picture of the screen with your phone.
