I rebooted the game later and it didn’t display this message, but it faulted out again after 1 game.

Did you do the "full install" ?

Has anyone upgraded speakers in a Munsters LE? If so, what did you go with and was it worth the effort?

Yes, upgraded speakers and now that 60s sounds music, explodes into the room. I don’t mean loud, at lower levels there is powerful bass, with balanced treble for a fully satisfying Munsters pinball experience. It was worth the effort, imo. I did install inline amplifiers for the new backbox speakers and new cabinet 10” woofer.

Can anyone tell me if these side rails with the writing are still available to purchase? Does anyone know who the supplier was? Cheers

I thought I seen them on a site that was over seas let me look .

It was pinball center there over seas. It doesn’t show them anymore only the button type for the pro. Now u can get a set of the web ones for the pro n cut them just a little n they look great I’ve done a couple of sets. Here’s mine.

They look great! Thank you

That’s them! Thank you

I asked about the side armor and they are sold out with the custom address.

Hi Everyone - brand new to the 1313 community- my b/w prem arrives next week and I'm at the very beginning of the mod/upgrade journey, so I was hoping a few folks may be willing to share (or point me to) a list of mods - at least the must have ones - to maybe get me started?
Fyi I just finished reading 44 pages of the GZ mod thread (took forever lol) and simply don't have the energy to read the 224 pages here (although I get that's part of paying your dues to get the info : ) but meanwhile will start pouring through all the mod makers I'm aware of to see what I can find.

Thanks in advance to anyone inspired to chime in - the more the merrier.

PS. The one specific that does initially come to mind... Is there's a solution to prevent the acid green translite title from getting washed out when illuminated?

PSS. Likewise, if anyone could benefit from an exhaustive GZ mod list to save you time, PM me and I'll put something together as I've spent the last couple weeks immersed in that world : )

I have a Cliffy protector arriving in a couple of days for my Munsters LE for the Grandpa scoop hole. I found the following post describing how to install it.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/1313-mockingbird-lane-munsters-club/page/220#post-6803492

Has anyone installed the Munsters Cliffy on the Grandpa scoop hole and have any pointers for this process?

Gord

Hey man thanks for taking the time - def gives me a jump start! Stunning game btw!

Hey Cabal this is great info - thank you!!! I especially appreciate the functional/protective mods as they often don't get mentioned as much. (I did just discover that translight yesterday and wow looks top notch - beautiful novel work!)

Thanks for the excellent response complete with photos. I just finished installing a Cliffy on the grandpa scoop hole on my Munsters LE and your tips proved to be very useful.

Hey great minds think alike lol - I asked Xianek yesterday if he could do a bw2bw and maintain the green color saturation of the title (my pet peeve like others is the title getting washed out on the original translight when illuminated). It's a custom job to create the art so a slight added cost - I should have in hand sometime mid to late next month : )

Trying to catch up on the progress on The Munsters. Did the latest few codes changes bring the code to the level most would enjoy now or are the rules still mostly the same and seen by some as simple and repetitive?

Go to page 221

The last 3 updates were really good and brought Munsters to a hole other level in my opinion and a lot of other people feel the same. They added more call outs n video parts while adding DJ MIXER N COUCH POTATO MOOD. Just a few top of my head also chattering teeth n getting secret mania is different n so on. I can’t remember all but it really is absolutely fun to play now even more than it was my family loves my premium I have it’s not going anywhere.

Slightly OT but here's a snap of Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) from the new Rob Zombie Munsters movie trailer.

I watched the trailer....was sure hoping it was going to be good...... looks horrid....

I made those, and I believe I still have some left

New excitement for our awesome Munsters Pinball machines. Munsters is an evergreen property. Stern’s Munster’s never gets old…
….in spite of some of the old curmudgeons rhetoric from this site, Munsters will continue go up in value, because of constant new material being made for Munsters IP.

Like what Rob Z said about making the new Munsters Movie: “The heavy-metal star, whose latest tour kicks off this week, wrote new music for “The Munsters” to go with the infectious '’60s theme song and found it “natural” to be making a family-friendly film for a change. “We never did anything that didn't fit the mold of what ‘The Munsters’ is,” he says. “But actually I was surprised. I thought, ‘Oh, they'll find some reason to say it's PG-13,’ even though I couldn't figure out what that would be.

“I didn't want to get in there and turn it into some other thing. Sure, that could be weird and interesting, but it would instantly not be ‘The Munsters’ as far as I'm concerned.”

I like the tweaks. I was getting secret mania way too much from mystery. I'd be fine if it was removed from mystery completely. Unfortunately, it doesn't mention the Munster madness reset bug. Was hoping this last fix would get that. Just happy we are getting updates now.

It would have been nice if they had really added something while they were doing this Don’t get me wrong I love my MUNSTERS PREMIUM n they added a good bit in the last three updates but if it had just one more something just that one wow factor to push it over the edge so to speak maybe I’m over thinking it.

This home team stuff is great.

So is updating via WiFi.

I updated all four of my machines in the time it used to take to update 1! And I didn’t have to remember which coin box I left the USB stick in!

Received mine today. Great job well packed Pinball-metal

Congrats! They look great.. Well done! I'm waiting on mine Blk/Grn.. hey, did you receive a tracking number?? I haven't heard back after payment... I'm sure mine are on the way.

WARNING!! I just updated via USB stick (verified) and now the raven does not come out of the topper anymore at startup! I then turned the machine off then on again and same results the raven does not pop out anymore! Darn Darn Darn!! I will have to contact stern. ☹

*Also; just noticed red 10 randomly lit in grandpa's playfield then goes out on its own. This is when lower playfield is not in use. This is also a new bug.

*Also, during lower playfield gameplay Topper's Raven yelled out "4" it wasn't even close to being on "4" countdown.... And now the Raven's 4, 3, 2, 1 ending Countdown during the lower playfield's timer ending is not working correctly.

20220804_183459 (resized).jpg

*Many more bugs found folks. I cannot recommend upgrading at this point. Stern support has been notified.

No tracking but comes ups so if you have an account setup through them you get an email every time something gets shipped to your house. Same with FedEx. Comes from a Dino

Just arrived!
Before and after pic!

I updated to version 1.22 on my Munsters LE earlier this week and have not had any issues since the update. I don't have a topper so I cannot speak to the topper issue that Jnyvio is having after updating the software.

Gord

I can confirm that the latest code update broke Raven. He no longer comes out.
