I have a question regarding buying a new Houdini it is new in box but not from a distributor it is from someone who took it as a trade.
I’m just wondering how everybody’s experience with American pinball has been in regards to issues warranty etc. etc.
I played the game a few times and I really enjoyed it. I know it is a tight shot game and hope in a home environment I will enjoy it more but what concerns me a little is issues with playfield etc. is that blown way out of portion or realistic and how does the company handle this I’m not sure this game will even have a warranty seeing it is not coming from a distributor even though it is brand new in the box. I was told it was just picked up from the factory so I’m assuming it will.
Thx for any input

I am buying it, and it comes with the power supply I’ll have to install. I loved when I played it a while back

So what are the must have for this game ? In terms of Cliffys or adjustments that need to be done or mods that help the game
Wondering what I’m going to need or want to do right out of the box before I play

Where do you find the knocker an end of stroke switches and also what are people using for a shaker is it from American pinball or pinball life or similar?

If you go to American pinball web page it has the directions to install which shows what’s included. I didn’t see where to order though

What do people use for plastic protectors?i can’t seem to find good pics of what is offered

Thx that helps, also does anyone make a clear shooter lane protector like Mezel l mods sells that covers the shooter lane and kick out

Those are great, I wish they showed the game with all colors it’s thought to spend that much without seeing them on a game

Getting excited.. mine arrive in my state today and should be at my house on Friday!

Actually might be coming tomorrow now!
Is it too early to go outside and wait at the end of the driveway

Got about 5-6 games on it last night and going to spend a few hours playing now absolutely beautiful out of the box !
I had to fix the eyes they were driving me crazy though
The leg is factory, rt is my fix that I’ll refine a little better
Last is with both modified

I cut small foam o’s and stuck them in

Finally playing some games, had a switch issue that needed adjustment and another switch in the lock line of three that wouldn’t let the ball roll past.
Once I got those working I was having some good games for the crappy player I am. Love the game so far and enjoy what seems to be a very deep game. Need to learn the rules.

Really wish it came with a manual though.

The switch closest to the post was not allowing the ball past, it would trigger the switch but when the post dropped the ball couldn’t get out.
I spent some time adjusting with no luck, had to remove the switch and play with it for a bit but it’s now a little messed up but working 90% of the time. I’m going to replace the switch and see if that helps.
The other switch in the smaller catapult is just really loose but I bent it up so it seems to be working now.
Time for more “testing”

Thanks, my number is HOU1388 if that’s what you are referring too.

So I got some more time on the game and am loving it. Finally made the grand champion score( big deal for me)
Still having issues with the lock lane where the three roller switches are, the ball is getting stuck on the switch and when the post drops it just keeps poop down and up and takes about 5-10 times before the ball is released.
Should I email the company or is there a fix for this?
Thx

I have checked the switch and it works fine, it is stiffer then the other two and it holds the ball from advancing to the post
I’ve adjusted it literally about 20 times

I will definitely adjust the settings, but I’m pretty sure it’s a bad switch, it is much stiffer than the other two switches. I’ve loosened it and adjusted it and tried light bending and it’s still keeping the ball from releasing until after about 8-10 post drops it will come out. Its so much stiffer and I think that is what the problem is. Where can I order a replacement?

Love mount gay rum!

Looks better this way, I am going to be mass producing the foam ones I bought and selling them in my store within the next week or two.
I’m thinking $8 shipped, but will confirm once I have the exact sizes figured out. They will be a simple peel and stick.

I added my foam eye light blockers to my pinside shop. Photo shows one with and one without.
