Is anyone selling any Houdini mods? I'm looking for the robot, pinball poster mod, or water torture mod.

#10511 3 years ago

Is anyone not using a mod couple water torture mod that you could sell me?

#10518 3 years ago

I saw that, but I am holding out hope that the mod couple will make more or that someone has an extra (or one that has not been installed)

#10574 3 years ago
Quoted from finnflash:

I really do like the products they are putting out. The price point is great with all the extras, compared to the other companies.

The build quality is also exceptional.

#10598 3 years ago
Quoted from 27dnast:

Does anyone know how many Houdini's were manufactured?

Quoted from bobukcat:

Best guess is somewhere around 600.

I was wondering the same. Perhaps Josh could shed some light on it?

Quoted from bobukcat:

I saw one for $5K posted today and thought to myself I wish I had waited instead of buying NIB but then I would have been missing out on one of my favorite games for the past 2.5 years. The game gets a bad rap for being too hard (it's not) plus a lot of negative comments and feedback from the beginning it's never really recovered from. Part of that was having too difficult default rules and part was typical Pinside negativity but I tell you anyone buying a HUO one at these prices is getting the biggest steal in pinball in a very, very long time!

This is a STEAL. Houdini is heavily underrated because of "hard shots, " but being too easy is why most games get downgraded. It makes no sense.

Awesome art package, great toys, lots of modes, objectives, superb calls outs, and a very unique layout that would make it a fantastic choice for any size collection.

#10649 3 years ago
Quoted from Navystan:

Now that I have my game running, time to get the key mods. I see EOS switch kit sold out. rosh will they be available again? I'm also ready to install my shaker and order side blades and real knocker. Any other key mods you all recommend?

Power supply, EOS switch kit, SEANCE planchette, Q the robot, Chinese water torture chamber, Houdini poster, (it sounds like you are already have/going to have the shaker, knocker, and art blades)

Quoted from bobukcat:

Does it count as number eight if there happens to be a SuperPin full of Cpt. Picard's crew and their antagonists between the two?[quoted image]

It counts if you move the sttng

#11038 3 years ago
Quoted from melappels:

I have both the Houdini and the WOZ, but not next to eachother.

You need to rectify that

#11039 3 years ago
Quoted from Lilpro66:

I also have Houdini and RRWOZ but in two different rooms!

What is the deal? Lol
Move those next to each other!

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Sorry man - that does suck if it's happening so often. Sounds like a fix is being tested though! Fingers crossed...

Quoted from SpinnerAddict:

Thanks, I’m waiting anxiously for the “fix” to come thru and hopefully get back to playing.

Quoted from PinballT:

Can’t wait for the fix too. The flippers just go soft and will not push the ball. I feel like giving it viagra sometimes so the flippers stay stiff during the whole game.

Quoted from indypinhead:

I'm in the same boat.
I've had my Houdini for about 4 months. I never play it because of the flipper issues. I'm seriously considering selling it because of the flippers.
I hope the fix comes soon before I decide to sell.

Does anyone have any Houdini mods you aren't using for sale?

Quoted from chewiec:

Hey everyone. I am aware that is the Houdini thread but I am interested in both Houdini and Oktoberfest. For those that own or played both. What seems to be your preference? I enjoy modes, ramps, speed, plus good flow. Bottom line, which one is your favorite to flip? I haven't had the chance to play any of them and am restricted to just youtube videos of gameplay. They both look great so it is difficult to decide which one. Thanks everyone!

Not only do I think Houdini is the far better game, I would also say it is one of the most underrated pins out there.

I think the problem is that it has REALLY tight shots, and a lot of people consider it to be clunky/difficult. It is at the upper end of most people's skill level, for sure.
