Anyone add a bill acceptor to Houdini? Suggested make and model?
Also: Is there a PF protector for this game? The usual sites don’t seem to have one.

Quoted from PinMonk:You will have to tip the coin tray to close the door every time. The floor of the pin is too high by a smidge, so the door doesn't close with a bill acceptor installed unless you do.
Mars/MEI 2000 series 115v one works fine. Something like the AE2411. If you only care about $1, you should be able to get one used for less than $100. The harness adapter is $15 if they don't include it.
Thanks!
So just to confirm, this BA will be plug and play basically with Houdini?

I’ve been having a weird tilt bob issue — it works just fine then, in play and test, it goes completely dead. And then, after a reset, works again for a bit. I’m mystified. Any ideas?
Quoted from PinMonk:Is the wire going to it screwed in tight? Intermittent connection can do that.
Wires are all good.
Going to try cleaning with alcohol. Thanks!
Update: I just can’t get the tilt working in gameplay after thorough scrubbing with alcohol and connection checks. It works great in test mode now, but the game will not tilt out. It’s at a competitive location so I need to get this sorted — I’ll grab the log or whatever and open a ticket.
My theater door wasn’t opening — I forced it open while in test mode a few times and got it running again. Anyone experience this? Seems like a broken motor is in my future :/
Quoted from Drew13:We had the same thing, and it ended up being dirty optos near the stage
Thank you, I’ll take a look!
