I just got confirmation that I'm the proud owner of Munsters Premium to be delivered to Golden State Pinball Festival. Much excitement!

My wife and I played our Premium this week. So good. I haven't even scratched the surface of this beast yet.

We just found a nice polish that cleaned up the window over Grampa's lab. Looks new, and I'm still ramping up on the scores. I look forward to the day I pull it off of route and stick it in my house.

Yes. It's a buffer compound that was originally for automotive use but my friend at the arcade where I route uses it for polishing disc games back to usability. I'll hit him up for the exact name.

It's not Brasso. I would have remembered that. He showed me after he polished up the window. I was planning on ordering a new one.
EDIT:
It was Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. Pull the window, of course, because this stuff will chew up clearcoat if you get it everywhere.

Not to my knowledge(but again, it's on route, so I'm not the main player). I do have it bouncing out of the grampa scoop a lot, but I can't tell if that is a change or if my aim is just crappy.

December of 2034?

Remove the window and polish it with something like Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. Mine was scratched and fogged and that stuff worked like a charm.

Maybe with a lot of elbow grease. I used Novus 3 and 2 and barely cleaned it up at all. UC buffed it clean in short order.
Perhaps another compound like that might work.

I've never had a problem getting it level after removal. About the only problem I did have was losing some of the little orings.

Sorry for the delay. Didn't see this. Cloth.

My B&W Premium has phillips on the window.

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.

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.

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.

So, I liked it when it was on route. Now, it's been home for a little over a week. I added a shaker motor and fixed the lockdown bar button. My thought is that this is an excellent middle of the road game, like Scared Stiff(which is, after a couple of decades, still my favorite game), Some tougher modes, some shots that are begging to screw you over(Spot is a drain monster for me), and everything can feel frenetic. To really get a high score, you have to think a little, and practice patience. All in all, a well rounded game.
Of course, I'm still on v1.0.0. I'll update the code this week sometime.

My wife got Munsters madness for the first time recently. I have only managed it a handful of times, mostly because we both find Spot to be hard to get. Not sure why that ramp is so hard for us to make, but dang, on my machine it is tough. I wonder if I have it a little steeper than normal. Anyway, it's rocking.

This fits in the same headspace as Scared Stiff. A simple, fun game. It's all about hitting a few modes, shooting the big endgame and ramping back up. It easily gets 90% or more of the play in my collection right now. The theme is tight, the modes make sense, the gameplay always feels light, and I still jump around like a kid when I get Madness and start going nuts.

Are you sure you aren't hearing Spot? He pops up every few minutes.

I've got my B&W Premium. I'm happy.
No topper, but such is life....

I enjoy it, with the lower PF on. For balance, my favorite game of all time is still Scared Stiff, and Munsters feels a lot like that to me(which is a good thing to me).

I bought another nice Stern for less than that. Topper prices are insane.

They look ok to me. I'm neutral on Herman, but Lily and Grampa look fine.
Now, is it going to ruin the feel of the original show? RZ can't do worse than the 2012 reboot that failed. I mean, it's campy, 60s sitcom comedy, not exactly high drama.

Cancel the super jackpots until you get a bunch ready to go and get the multiplier up.

Each time you qualify a super jackpot and then get the dragula shot, you have a couple of seconds to hit the button on the lockdown bar to cancel it. Otherwise, it awards whatever super jackpots are qualified with whatever playfield multiplier is achieved at that moment. It's a risk/ reward situation.

Sounds like you set this up:

If you look at the picture I shared, it's from the pinside machine page that you get when you add a machine to your collection. If you have also clicked the button in your settings that tells pinside to email you reminders to change your batteries, you will get these emails.

Alas, I should have gotten a topper when I had the chance. New code!! Woot!!

Elvira is in the new Munsters movie.

The new movie has some bright points(the Grampa was good, Lilly was acceptable) and was otherwise pretty bad(Herman sucked, they even managed to make Cassandra Peterson's character boring).

Anyone had to remove the mylar in front of grandpa's scoop? Mine is badly worn, and I need to replace it, and want to know how to get it safely.
