Hi
I just got my Houdini yesterday. It looks incredible.
I have a problem with the API Theatre. I knock it 3 times, the curtains open but when the ball enters, it stucks inside the hole between the fake ball and the subway. The game stall and nothing happens. I have to wait for the fake ball motor to release it without starting the mode.

I searched a solution to test the ball motor without success. Any idea?

Thanks
Lou

Sorry if this has been already answered/solved..
Is there a way to get rid of the ghosting lights from chain inserts on the PF?
It is really hard to make a difference between what « modes/missions » has been done or not.
Thsnks!
Lou

#3454 5 years ago

Yes I know
Ghosting isn’t right
Anyways I think these lights shouldn’t be visible at all if a mode si not done.
Maybe someone will comme with a simple solution

Hey! Need help!

I lifted up playfield to Dialed in the left orbit. Perfect.
When I Went to pull down the PF, some wire got stuck on the lockbar. Since then the game is shooting balls in through as soon as I push start.

some wires were disconnected but easy to reconnect.

Can it be a fuse? Im a B/w guy. This game confuse me.
The pic with my finger on it is the one who got stuck and pulled out 2-3 more

Hi
While I’m trying to fix my problem with Josh, is someone would be kind enough to take a picture of their Driver boards (The two big boards that sit back to back un des PF are the driver boards.) I need to double check wiring and board leds.

Thsnks un advance
Lou

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

Top pic is upper board by 3 magnets.
Bottom is lower board furthest away from player.

Thank you very much. If you still have a minute, can you confirm that you have the same red leds on your boards when Game is in attract mode (see pics).
Only weird thing is some of my wires are not routed as yours (purple/white/black). Mine is coming from the right. Anyway

Can you also take a pic of the board between both flippers?
It really helps!
Thsnks!!

He’s watching to be sure I don’t screw up something else

I LOVE my Houdini. Only bad thing is the video game. It’s not really fun. Looks like the one in FIsh tales without de instinctive gameplay. Hard to understand at first.
I hope for next updates with more enjoyable video games
