Quoted from kdecgp:It has a little bit of adhesive left but what is the smartest way to re-adhere the topper?
What I found on WOZ's ruby slippers was a bead of super glue gel across the top of the flipper bat, didn't clean first. Pressed the slipper on. Hasn't come off yet in over 6 years of commercial use.

Quoted from Leachdude:or have any thoughts on why it is doing this?
I would contact American Pinball tech support.
https://www.american-pinball.com/support/service/
I'd try reseating all cables at the display and board they go to.

Quoted from punkin:does anyone know where to find one?

Quoted from Looking4FirstPin:Can anyone let me know where the 2 end points for the spring go?
Compare to other flipper. Hook it up the same way.

Quoted from Looking4FirstPin:does anyone think the issue is greater than reattaching the spring?
No, hook it back on.
Pictures show where it goes circled in red, and how to fix if a loop is broken off.

Quoted from meSz:No offense but you're telling him to make certain the switches are clean on a NIB game?
I'd start there. If nothing else to start eliminating things.
During manufacturing things can get on connectors, leaf blade switches, from when the individual parts were manufactured. Dirt, grease, etc. etc. And work fine and as time goes by pop up. Reseating and cleaning is always a good start.

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Barry is an amazing Guy.
Yes. One of the best if not the best.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Jack was lucky to nab him.
Yes. JJP was fortunate for that. Pinball in general too, that he didn't end up in a different industry.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:I will not speak for Josh, but do know he is continuing to support Houdini
Didn't he post recently he only has a Hot Wheels at home ? So programming for a different game might be hard to test since the factory is likely closed by the state for the virus.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Barry who is now at JJP is still helping out on AP questions, which is mind-blowing.
What helps pinball, helps everybody. Helps every company. I don't stick to just CGC games of JJP games, if I can help.

Quoted from Vino:does anyone know if they are currently shipping parts
According to their Facebook page, and with Illinois shut down. I don't think anything is going out.
LTG : )
Quoted from CUJO:Sorry if this has been asked before but are all the production lines shut down at Chicago Gaming, Stern, JJP & AP?
Since Illinois is shut down. I suspect CGC, Stern, and AP production lines are down. JJP moving from NJ to Chicago shut their line down. No idea if the new one in Chicago is up or not. If it is, it would be down too.
LTG : )
Quoted from Looking4FirstPin:Does anyone have ideas what could be causing this,
Just a thought. Any chance the balls are magnetized and not rolling into position right ?
LTG : )
Quoted from indypinhead:I was told that my Houdini has the latest power supply. Was I lied to?
No. The one on the right was added making it good.
LTG : )
Quoted from Looney:Does the machine require constant adjustment and readjustment to play properly?
Reading this thread all along. I'd say once any issues are attended to, you'll get great service out of the game. The reason for seeming like it needs constant attention is because a few of the issues might have different ways to resolve them. Depends on the particular problem and what you need to do. If you have it. Some have been adjsutments, some have been weaker or stronger power settings. Etc. Etc.
Quoted from Looney:I've noticed many for sale after only being owned a short time;
Houdini has been out for about 3 1/2 years. A lot of people want the new shiny pin. And there have been a lot of new titles in that time frame. So I don't think it's any different than any other new title.
LTG : )
Quoted from Looney:I would expect a new machine to require significantly less attention,
It should.
After it leaves the factory. It does get bounced around a lot in trucks.
So I'd expect a little tweaking on any new pin when you get it. And as you play it and it gets broken in so to speak. A little more tweaking. Once it's set up the way you like it. It should give you reliable service. Back in the Williams DMD era. I always spent a few days adjusting and tweaking things on any new pin coming in. Then they'd settle in and behave.
As you know on your other pin. A ball is rolling around in there. Eventually you'll have to clean it. Eventually you may need to fix or adjust something.
LTG : )
Quoted from Looney:I've also noticed that the tech support is pretty responsive.
Barry isn't with them anymore. He has responded to a few posts.
And rosh pointed out they have a committee handling their tech support. So you should be in good shape there.
LTG : )
Quoted from Audioenslaved:It’s a tight shooter and the shots are different I think that’s why people don’t like it.
That is why I always thought it would be a great home game. Like TZ. Get so close and then kicked in the nuts. Definitely not boring once you get it rolling.
LTG : )
Quoted from seenev:Anyone know if they are reading/answering support emails right now? I sent an email asking about getting the skill shot fix kit a couple days ago but I haven't heard anything.
I believe they are, when they can.
Illinois is still on lockdown. So their committee rosh mentioned, are probably doing the best they can from home.
Shipping parts is probably slow right now too.
LTG : )
Quoted from seenev:Yeah. I was thinking about ordering the shaker motor but I guess that can wait until this lockdown subsides.
If you want it, may as well order now. So you are in line to get it when they can ship.
LTG : )
Quoted from seenev:Still no response to my support email or service ticket. I guess they're just completely offline now.
Probably doing what they can from home.
I wish there was a better answer. In spite of everything they are still doing what they can.
LTG : )
Quoted from LTG:doing what they can.
I might add. I am hoping none of them got sick. Things are tough enough as it is.
LTG : )
Quoted from seenev:Still no response to my support email or service ticket.
Was it for this ?
"Anyone know if they are reading/answering support emails right now? I sent an email asking about getting the skill shot fix kit a couple days ago but I haven't heard anything."
With the lockdown, maybe they can't send parts. Techs working from home usually can't get to the factory.
I know it would be nice to at least know they got your information and will get to it when they can.
Maybe email them again ?

Quoted from tlukka:After the new beta code update I am finding Houdini reboots before it gets to the last ball during "Clear Houdini's Balls". Is anybody else experiencing this?
PM rosh and see if he'd like the error log.
LTG : )
Quoted from Vino:Hey all, mine shipped with the code below.
Is it pretty straightforward to download right to new beta or do I need to take another step first? Ty!
I'd read the instructions in the manual. Page 9-175. If you don't have the manual, you can download it from american-pinball.com just to familiarize yourself of the process. Doesn't look hard.
LTG : )
Quoted from Pin_-_K:To update to the Beta code do I need to remove this "_19.12.23B" from the full file name I downloaded?
houdini-gamecode_19.12.23B.pkg
If you have older code - this.
On games with the much older code you have to trick the update. What you do is rename the file you downloaded by removing thev19.4.7 at the end.
Change the name of the new code file to be houdini-gamecode.pkg remove any version info from the name. In the future it will not be necessary to do this.
LTG : )
Quoted from Pin_-_K:What does the supplemental PS cost
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Yes, get the extra power supply from the API store. Should be $150.

LTG : )
Quoted from jdemarti:I checked the connections at the P3 ROC in the cabinet, including the USB and it appears to have a good connection.
I would reseat them. Then do what the screen says, check if you have power at the board.
LTG : )
Quoted from konjurer:In the past, I've slightly bend the switch and it would work again.
Quoted from konjurer:Is my switch bad?
When you slightly bend it, bend it past the body of the switch, just the arm or wire past the body of the switch. Otherwise you effect the flat blade that pushes the tiny knob into the switch body. Then you drive yourself nuts trying to get it right.
Quoted from konjurer:Is my switch bad?
Could be.
LTG : )
Quoted from Rascal_H:Looks normal, right?
Looks like it was adjusted bent up at the point the red arrow is pointing too.
Can you loosen the screws and move the switch body at all ? Some brackets you can, some you can't.
If not I'd check it with your finger in switch test. If it works there, it probably needs to be bent up a little more at that point. The end pointed up looks like it might be low in the hole if a ball sits on it, not depressing the switch enough.

Quoted from zaki:why, exactly, are houndini's selling for $5,500 now?
A lot of new games have come out since Houdini was made.
Older titles usually depreciate. Very few hold value or go up. Doesn't matter which game or manufacturer.

Quoted from MightyGrave:OK never seen this powersupply.... Is it for all voltges?
Yes. Newest incarnation.
Quoted from MightyGrave:But If If there is no difference between this and the combibanation of the old one (5v/12v) + 48V ps then ok and all fine.
No difference between newest and combination of original and add on.
LTG : )
Quoted from 27dnast:Is the issue with older version of power supply just weak flippers/pops and inconsistent catapult?
As I recall reading over the threads over time.
It was a combination of the household power and power supply.
LTG : )
Quoted from Navystan:can I adjust the the angle of the switch so that it leans further down by adjusting the 2 screws that hold the switch in place?
Check it. Some switches if loosened you can turn the body of the switch a little as needed and retighten the screws. Not too tight or the switch won't work.
If not, then bend the arm of the switch a little. Out past the body of the switch. So you don't impact the flat blade that pushes the tiny knob into the body of the switch.
LTG : )
Quoted from Rascal_H:Are the special hex key leg bolts sold online?
Check with https://www.american-pinball.com/
Maybe McMaster - Carr ?
LTG : )
Quoted from Rascal_H:Are the special hex key leg bolts sold online?
Search Ebay too for allen head bolts and thread size and length.
LTG : )
Quoted from Navystan:If it's not high enough, can it be adjusted?
At the bottom of the assembly under the playfield, is a screw to raise or lower it. There is a nut there too. I don't have the game to check. You may need to loosen the nut and raise or lower the post then retighten it. Page 7-125 in the manual.
LTG : )
Quoted from rosh:there are multiple adjustments screws. You need to loosen the three lock nuts on the backside, and then loose the lock nut on the bottom, then changed the screw adjustment to get it to the desired height, then after things are correct, tighten it all back down.
Again, important that when it is pulled in the tip is level to the playfield.
Good diagram in the Houdini manual page 7-125 and 7-127

Quoted from gmanrulz46:any ideas?
Does the pop bumper skirt register in switch test ?
Probably not a fuse. First I'd dig around the coil lugs - broken wire ? Thin wire from coil winding that goes to lug, cracked or broken - you may need to dig around them to make sure ? Then I'd check wiring from lugs to where it all goes to board that drives it. Connector off, wire out of a connector, broken wire somewhere else.

Quoted from gmanrulz46:in testing left pop is dead but top and right work.. and my knocker does not work .

Quoted from Tugboat1:ok. Tested the wires. It is th j4 that blows fuse
Since no diode on the coil, you can remove it from the game and check it with a meter and see what ohms you get. Then post back here and rosh can guide you to which is bad. Coil, or transistor.

Quoted from Tugboat1:ok. Tested the wires. It is th j4 that blows fuse

If you could easily remove the power supply upgrade. I'd try that. If game returns to normal you know something is wrong with it, or how it's hooked up. AP tech support can assist you then.

Quoted from KrazyIvan14:Additionally, is this the one screw I need to loosen / tighten to allow it to be adjusted? Thanks
That is the one. your flippers - set them any way you like to help you.
I would loosen a tiny bit, so that you can barely turn the flipper bat, it stays put. That way you can set it where you want it, yet not effect the up and down play of the flipper and retighten it.
Too loose and the pawl can move up and down and when you retighten it you need to leave a tiny bit of up and down play. ( up and down, not back and forth )

Quoted from scbill88:oes the changer need to be set for US quarters somewhere?
If coin mechs are in it, they are already set for quarters.
Check the manual to set pricing. Could be units per inserted coin, and price per play.

Quoted from archimandrite:Do Pinsiders ever offer partial plastic sets? A hundred bucks is pretty steep when I only have two pieces to replace. I've got to believe there are folks who have coughed up the big bucks and have a bag of parts they haven't needed.
Might be hard to find pieces if everyone has the same pieces break. All that would be left then is the ones nobody needs and hard to sell.

Quoted from Sirgubster9:trunk lid in red.
Page 7-158 shows a leaf blade switch. There is a switch test in Houdini. Check it there. I don't have the game to check but it can't be too much. Trunk lid isn't opening ( should be a test for that too ) or switch needs adjusting.

Quoted from MightyGrave:This Game is so awesome
It has surprised me. When it came out reports were tight shots and hard. I thought great for home but poor for location.
Since mine came in it's kicking a**. Really surprised me. Maybe players have gotten better. Or really like it.
