Agree 100 percent on this post. Lucky enough to pick up a Stern JP. So now Munsters sits next to Elvira and JP. Munsters is a fantastic change up from both games. I am just starting to get into JP and two observations: the shot geometry is simply outstanding and the rules give me a headache. It is one complicated , non linear game. I really like it to this point, but after a couple of games on JP, going over to Munsters is a well deserved break.

That being said, I stand up for Stern and Dwight a lot. Would love to see some more work on Munsters.

Little Shop of Games has been out of their green 9 piece protector set for months. Any know where I can get a similar set?

You can try Ulekstore but I know he was having a hard time getting materials

If you haven’t found time yet, make sure to set aside a half hour this weekend. It really is one of the best tutorials for any game I’ve watched.

I am 100% going to watch it within the next few days. I'm excited to watch it and I'm sure that I also have a lot to learn too even though I know the rules fairly well.

Would this be a good pin to trade my WCS94 for? I only have space for one pin Currently and wasn't sure if this would be good for a single pin collection.

Considering you should be able to get 4K for this pin easy if you don’t like it, hell yeah. Your WCS would have to be one of the best ever to get anywhere near that.

I would be stunned if you got you asking price if you were to sell your WCS outright. At best 4K and might take forever to find a buyer.

Just brought my Munsters premium home. Damn it, I love this game. I have mine set up steep, and it's fast and brutal. When it was on route, someone broke the zap button, so I have one on order. Sucked when I got a bunch of stacked super jackpots and couldn't cancel. Alas.

I've had offers at 4200 that I passed on.

How does one break the Zap button?

Wow. Where are they? Might have to sell mine. Haha

Facebook pinball groups seem to be able to sell for higher than in here.

Yeah that takes some doing my little boy hammers the shit out of my lockdown buttons and they are fine.

As to the how, I couldn't tell you. They snapped the whole mounting area off of it. I have one on order, but I stuck a flipper button in there in the meantime. Can just see the light flash around the edge of it. Annoying.

Made a trade last weekend for a NIB Munsters Pro. The art is amazing, and it is a super fun, relatively easy machine. It is the perfect yen to my JP yang.

Herman has what appears to be a really ugly injection molding blemish on the top of his head. When he shakes, it's easy to see. Before I bug Stern, is this how they all look?

Yes

Well, I asked!

In photos, or in person, I was never a fan of the "highlighter green" T-Molding. I felt that it took away from the beautiful art on this machine. When I would round the stairs of my basement, my eyes were drawn to those two vertical lines. The translite pops much more now. I can't wait until the topper arrives.

Here is a link to what I used:

Also, I made an adjustment that I think makes the game flow better: I disabled the top post. I didn't even know that was an adjustment until I was going through the menu today. The standard ball launch always felt clunky to me. Now, a full plunge will send it all the way around the staircase. I can short plunge if I want a launch more like the factory setting.

I agree I hate the green t-molding I've been wanting to change mine to purple for a year and a half now.are you aware that without disabling the post you can hold down the left flipper button before plunging this will lower the post and enable the super skill shot on the Marylin ramp.I always go for the super skill shot,personally I think it's the easiest of the 3 skill shots and worth the most plus if you can nail the super skill shot then combo the raven ramp you can start Spot immediately and get him out of the way.

Definitely changing mine to black after seeing your pictures. I hate the green too.

I was not aware of this. I need to fully read through all of the tips and tricks. Thanks for mentioning it.

No need to disable the post to have the ball go all the way around.

This pin has a Super Skill Shot. If you press on the left flipper, a yellow light in front of the right ramp lights up, the hidden post in the back drops down and the ball with sail all the way around to your left flipper. You have 15 seconds to make the skill shot. You will get a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown. Paul Lynde, the little boy, and the topper raven all take turns calling the countdown.

Moulding change looks good. The green moulding does jump out at you. If the game is sitting by itself it's fine. Sitting in a row of games it does call attention to itself. I'm going to add a TMNT pro to my lineup hopefully soon. Waiting on shipment like others. Turtles has green moulding also and I am going to space the Turtles down a few games from Munsters to "balance" out the row. I like to set up my games varying the trim color in the row. I think that helps visually if you have several games with different trim colors.

Holy LCD ROW Batman!!

Missing Batman 66, TMNT is going to fill the one hole.

Finally got my hands on a Munsters LE and love it. Have started modding it. I have the Grandpa mod, lit up Spot, put in some LED's to light up the very back of the playfield. Has anyone here put enough mods that use power on their machine that they needed one of the external power supplies that I see advertised on here from time to time? Is it worth it to get something like this or am I unlikely to ever put enough of an extra draw on the PSU to worry about it. Just wanted to see what the rest of you had run into in your modding journey.

Thanks!

Lit up Spot??

Red LED's under the ramp.

https://lermods.com/shop/ols/products/the-munsters-pinball-spot-lighted-ramp-flasher

Really like it and it gets your attention when he pops up.

Is it simple to install?

Is it just changing an led bulb?

Thanks!

Ordered. cheap...

It's funny, I must really have been bitten by the pinball bug. We are on vacation, and I looked on the pinmap to see if there was a Medieval Madness on location near by. There is, so I went to play. I had only ever played one of them before. It's still on my bucket list, but the price will have to come down. It's cool, but not twice a$ cool as other machines.

Anyway, the way the ball stops in the middle of the back reminds me of Munsters as well as the "Archer" shot: the Dragula is just like it. I'm sure those of you who have been in the hobby for a long time are aware of these things, but it made me chuckle when I saw the homage myself today.

Very simple to install. Good directions.
It is a small strip of red LED's that stick to the top of the underside of the ramp. The only thing you need to be be careful of is sticking the LED strip far enough back to allow the ramp to close completely. Hooks into the existing flasher with alligator clips. It was about a 5 minute install.

Glad I did it.

Thanks ... just ordered it!

... and FREE shipping on top of the great deal.

I keep coming back to Munsters on my wishlist. Is the code similar to MB? Essentially, you just collect all of the characters, then have a mini-wizard mode once they’re all together?

Are the two games comparable code-wise? Both on my wishlist, so trying to decide.

So, I'm still sporting 1.0.0 code. Any urgent reason to update?
Also, had a shaker sitting around, and I installed it this weekend. Nice little additions to the game, imo.

I just watched this and this is a must watch for anyone who owns this game! Great great tutorial.

Funny, Just watched it as well. Game starts and he says start spot and then time that out cause it's the most boring part of the game. Doesn't even go for it. First minute is timing out.

On the PRO, not sure if it's like this on the higher end versions, but get grandpa ready before starting spot and a shot to the scoop starts grandpa as well. That way you can have both going at the same time and at least get some credit for ramp shots. Plus you now have 2 kitty shots from that right off the bat. Then start herman and increase playfield to 6 immediately. Start lily and keep doing what the guy is saying. Works great. Then once herman is over you are hopefully ready to start raven with 6x still going. Only real difference from what he recommends is I like to increase the playfield in herman probably because I'm exploiting an issue in the code where grandpa and spot can stack.

I just fire the game up and play and have fun.

Mudflaps Munsters wasn't even on my radar until a month ago. I drove a few hours to a part of my state that had a retailer with a MB in stock. I had never played one before, but was very interested. I enjoyed playing it, and was about to leave when on a whim, I decided to play a game on the Munsters sitting next to it. I was surprised at how much I liked it. The art is amazing, the video integration is superb, and it's just a great flowing game. No, it isn't as deep as MB, but i think it's just about as fun. I'm certain that MB isn't 2x as fun (price). It's a great game for guests, and or to have an easier game in the collection that is just fun.

I would definitely try and play both, and ask yourself which is the best bang for the buck. Send me a PM, and I can connect you with a guy who can get you a great NIB deal, if you decide to go that direction.

Or buy both

I think they are very similar personally...especially the modes for a wizard mode. I think the shots are harder in MUN. I think the toys are better in MB. I think the video and callouts are better in MUN. I like the artwork in MB very much, but I think the B/W premium MUN is one of the best ever. MB seems more finished overall, but as an older game with easier shots, I tire of it quicker. I do have some deeper games to balance MUN. I really love it. 90s games like MB, TZ, TAF, CFTBL, etc are awesome, but at this point I get bored with them easier compared to games from the last 10 years. Kind of like classic cars.. I LOVE the lines of the 60s and 70s cars,, but it is hard to beat modern power, convenience and reliability.. YMMV

Selling my Fully Decked out Munsters Premium B&W edition. Add will come as soon as I get all caught up at office..
