Just picked up a Houdini a few weeks ago and I’m really liking it so far. A couple questions though. What is the most recent code that I should be running? Also it seems I have a lot of air balls. Does anyone else have this problem? I turned my flipper power down a couple below factory default but it seems like I could use that power for some shots. It seems to be when I hit the seance targets is when I get the air balls. I seen this mod for target brackets that this company offers for stern games where the target bracket is angled forward a couple degrees wondering if I could use the same bracket to see if that helps.
Cheers
Jamie

I think I have mine set to 6.9 degrees but I’ll have to check. Also I turned the flipper power down to I think 2 or 3 lower then factory settings. Maybe I should try a little less steep?

Quoted from brenna98:

I’m testing a upgrade to give the coils more consistent power during heavy power usage.
So far the results are very good! I’ll be working on a kit and instructions for this simple upgrade very soon.

Count me in!

So if I just order the upgraded power supply off the American pinball site. Then I should be good to install the flipper power upgrade kit as well?

Quoted from zahner:

Yes.
API used to give a $150 store credit if you purchased the power supply upgrade. If they still do that, do it now and take advantage of the sale prices and get some essential parts. I picked up a set of plastics, a pop bumper hardware set, and a spare spotlight (in case a weird shot takes one out).
Once you install the power supply upgrade, you can add the coil upgrade. You should also get a knocker if you don’t have one. Best knocker integration ever. Bullet mode is much better with it.

Thanks very much I’m going to order the upgrades. I already love this game so if it makes it even better it will be worth it.

How is the shaker motor on the game? And is it worth doing the eos switch upgrade?

Silly question. What flipper parts are used for a rebuild ? I didn’t really see a rebuild kit in the ap site.
