Quoted from Enron64:

Well it’s all set up in the game room, wow is all I can say. It’s beautiful and I think having an LE has ruined me lol. All the extra features are awesome. As far as gameplay, first game the wife played she looked at me and said the shots are smooth as butter. I agree with her. I only played a couple of games last night so I can’t give my full opinion but it seems awesome and I am glad to be part of the club.

Quoted from Thunderbird:

1. On ocassion during upper and lower playfield multiball, machine will suddenly shut down and reset itself.

Quoted from Thunderbird:

3. There is a 1/3 haze over the LCD screen when most anything from the show is playing.

Quoted from Thunderbird:

4. Small fixes to the topper code and LCD game transitions need fixing.

Quoted from Thunderbird:

Hi club members! It’s now getting old to have my Munsters shutting down during Munster madness multiball and resetting. Munsters is in bad need of some code polish, even if they don’t add some more code love. I’m sharing my letter I’ve sent and ask that you each might nicely do the same. Munsters needs some fixes in various areas, plain and simple. Stern owes that much to us.
Here is my letter and please add any game fixes needed you know of as well:
Hello Team Stern Pinball,
Been patiently waiting for an update to our fabulous Munsters Machine. It is in need of at least some maintenance, for errors in the code.
1. On ocassion during upper and lower playfield multiball, machine will suddenly shut down and reset itself.
2. Badly needs other various fixes in the code. This machine has never been polished and has flaws in various areas of the gameplay.
3. There is a 1/3 haze over the LCD screen when most anything from the show is playing.
4. Small fixes to the topper code and LCD game transitions need fixing.
5. Munsters needs universal code update to be inline with other updated machines, like Star Wars, which is an older game. Example: DJ mixer, front start button, and other universal code for newer games like Munsters.
This game has been badly neglected and needs some love and attention. The game resetting during gameplay is simply unacceptable and needs fixing. Please give our Munsters machine some code love, even if you’re not going to do the right thing by us owners and give it more show material and modes, which it badly deserves.
I’ve purchased many of your LEs and Munsters is the only one I’ve continued to ask for some additional code. All other machines get code love to exceed my expectations, such as TMNT. Munsters is the opposite of that code love. Please do the right thing by us owners that purchased early, knowing from Stern history that you always take care of us. That has not been the case for Munsters with only 2 meaningful updates since launch and I can’t figure out why???
Please do the right thing and at least give Munsters some polish and use more of the call outs that are already in the code, just sitting there dormant.
Please don’t stay silent on this like you have in the past.
A loyal customer of Stern,
If enough of us write in to customer service, maybe, just maybe Stern will do the right thing and take care of our machines with sorely needed code matinence. Please write to them.

(2) Also, when playing in grandpa's laboratory..... Everytime the counter hits 1-second and the game ends..... Lily's voice comes on "start the machine".... Well its too late as the lower game is over. ... This is very bothersome.

Quoted from mbwalker:

Boy, this was long overdue. Replaced with a Cliffy.
You can see how beat up the one vertical section is, the other side doesn't even have the vertical piece.

How was the install? I have mine waiting on me...

Quoted from mbwalker:

I put it off for about 6 months because I read comments that there's a little bit of work involved. LOL. Wasn't bad. The right wireform needs to at least be moved (loose, not completely removed). Just 3 nuts for the wireform.
So the plastics and wireform are just the typical screw or nut stuff. No biggie there.
The one thing that was a little bit of a PIA for me was the post that catches the edge of the original Stern protector (back left side if you are looking from the front). That means the post needs to come out. At first I figured there was the typical T-nut on the back side of the PF, but there's really a nut w/the built in nylon washer under the PF. So I removed the nut and the post's threads were a little tight in the hole. That's where it got a little tricky for me since my 3/8" deep-well socket is MIA (the post's 'built in nut' is at the base). I tinkered around with a closed wrench but that was going far too slow. Luckily, a metric deep-well socket must be close enough to 3/8"...and then it got a lot easier.
I put down a microfiber rag to catch any washers/screws/nuts that got loose, but they all behaved.
Here's a pic of the post and the new Cliffy. You can see how it (and the Stern part) catches the protector.
I should add - the VUK doesn't need to be removed or loosened. (I'm missing the 'Grandpa' plastic, was missing when I bought it).

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

I put this on in place of grandpa plastic. Looks good on the game. But I paid half of this price
[quoted image]

Quoted from Jnyvio:

Is that real or photoshopped? I've never seen that one before. Cool.

Quoted from Jnyvio:

(1) Your correct 100%... There is a left sided haze over a lot of the videos and its very distracting.... It has a perfectly cut half moon shape on the right side and fully covers over the rest of the video as from right to left.. At first i was thinking this is some sort of watermark for copyright protection?
(2) Also, when playing in grandpa's laboratory..... Everytime the counter hits 1-second and the game ends..... Lily's voice comes on "start the machine".... Well its too late as the lower game is over. ... This is very bothersome.
(3) The raven topper is missing a few coded interactions with the raven on the LED screen.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from cabal:

for me it's real. It's no too visible but once recognized it it's burned into the brain and you will always look at it
but it could be i live in germany and from the differnt screen frequency it will not show elsewhere?
Maybe you could verfiy it if's only my machine.

Quoted from Jnyvio:

Hi..... I've never seen the Eddie's Super Jackpot.. It looks cool in the Red / Orange coloring.. I think the only Super Jackpot i see is Blue and is Grandpa's.. I will have to be more observant.. I have the Black & White premium but that should not matter.. I will keep an eye out for your concerns with the Red lines going through the Eddie's Super Jackpot the next time i play (If i can get to it).. I will also check if the Red lines effects Grandpa's Super Jackpot as well.

Quoted from cabal:

It's only on eddies super jackpot. All others Jackpot videos are not affected. And the eddie jackpot is one i do not get that often.

Quoted from mbwalker:

That's neat. I've been thinking along the lines of maybe 3D printing Grandpa, if I can find a decent file on Thingiverse to mod/paint...keep forgetting to check.
For maybe 6 months after buying the pin, I hadn't even noticed Grandpa was missing. Then one day when I was installing some Titans I noticed the empty brackets. Hmmm...what goes there? Duh!

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

[quoted image]

Quoted from mbwalker:

That did turn out good. Googling for a Grandpa Munster 3D file, I found this. Might print one today.

Quoted from Jnyvio:

Hey..... has anyone here added the baby pinstadium to Grandpa's lower laboratory? Your suppose to be able to change it to any color with their pinstadium app.
[quoted image]

Quoted from JMCFAN:

Yes I have them.... very nice... sure light up the lower playfield

Quoted from BackAlleyMatt:

I have a set of Webbed Premium/LE siderails (double button holes). They came off an LE and are black wrinkle. There is no mirror cardboard backing to them, just the siderails. Looking for $80 plus shipping. PM me if interested. otherwise I will list in the market tonight.
[quoted image]

Quoted from Jnyvio:

Yea... Do you feel there really worth $159... I like them a lot but i think that's just tooo much unless they go on sale..

Quoted from JMCFAN:

Pin Stadiums are pricy...but only player in the game really. I waited for a sale

Quoted from Blakester:

Pin Stadiums in the lower playfield look very sharp

Quoted from Jnyvio:

Oh, good idea... I can wait... How much was the sale price?

Quoted from cabal:

i guess this is intentional, a more or less good try to enhance the feeling of a rounded tv-tube with shadow effects.
I think it's visible in all match animations. But on some videos more visible than others.

well and there is the eddie jackpot scene.

Be fun to make

Quoted from cabal:

Did some tests with photogrammetry and chose grandpa for it.
Well if you know what it should be, you can see some resemblence.[quoted image]

Quoted from mbwalker:

So you used the 2D image on the left as the source and turned it into 3D?

Quoted from v8torino:

Lol good going-Looks like the ghost of Elvis in the all white !!
-Get him made and painted cabal

Quoted from cabal:

no i have the figure. did about 90 Photos of it from all directions. Then a software stitches everything together to a 3D picture.

Quoted from v8torino:

Good job cabal--now you are really getting a set together !! Are you going to do more ??? I want a cool SPOT Dragon to put under my glass.
