Quoted from hank527:Player cannot enter a Z as the letter has been completely removed from the game.
That is absolutely fantastic.
Looking forward to trying the game at SFGE!

Why would you wipe out partial credits during a game? Sometimes my daughter will drop 5 quarters instead of 4, and I expect that 1/4 credit to be there when she goes to play her next game.
If she walks away for 10 minutes that's probably fair game, but why even remove partial credits at all? Can't it just be a gift for the next player?

If you have line voltage that is steady and out of spec, like always at 106V, a variac could help.
What you are describing sounds like line voltage that fluctuates spontaneously from other devices on the circuit. I would think a line conditioner would be more appropriate, no?
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Any thoughts on why we don’t see this issue with other games though? Could there be a supply issue inside the cabinet? I’d much rather buy a bigger/more stable PS than a Variac or Line conditioner
I am not familiar with what is inside of a Houdini. What does the power supply look like?
I personally think a line conditioner would set you guys straight. That will give Houdini the smooth, sweet power it wants.
Quoted from pinballinreno:This one looks like it will work and seems to be a good price:

I have a couple 1500w tripp-lite UPS boxes already, but they cost more.
Does not have the cool steampunk look of the Variac though
That's the one I linked above, I think it's a good model for the application.
You can hot glue some pipe cleaners, bendy straws, and a bbq thermometer to the outside if you really need that steampunk feeling.

Quoted from pinballinreno:I'm looking for line conditioning mostly so that I don't have to adjust my settings every time I go to play Pinball during the summer. My power seems to be random as far as whether it's 115 volts or 121 volts. It makes gaming interesting, but I'm looking for more consistency.
I think the LC1200 you ordered will fix up the power for a machine or two nicely.
Quoted from pinballinreno:I installed the lc1200. And ran it for 4 days.
It did not adjust the voltage at all, as my lowest voltage over the weekend was 116 volts.
So as suspected, the LC 1200, though I imagine it is an excellent line conditioner, it is not Suited for my minor brownouts that effect gameplay.
I sent them back to Amazon free shipping, though it was a dismal failure, it was low-risk at best.
So back to square one.
That's a bummer to hear, I apologize for thinking that they would take care of your issue.

Quoted from Osro:What are y'all using to remove the nuts that hold down the play field pieces? 1/4" is too small, 5/16" is too big, 8mm is too small and 9mm would probably do it, but it feels loose. I checked with my digital caliper and they come out to 1/3" or 8.5mm. Is there some standardized pinball nut driver that I'm not aware of? I'm trying to install my cliffy set and am getting stumped at what I thought would be the easiest part...
p.s. I'm sure this has been covered, but I searching came up with nothing, so my apologies for the duplication.

I feel like you aren't doing something correctly maybe?
You said 5/16 is too big, but 5/16 is only .3125". Your measurement shows that 5/16" would be too small, right?
