Rick and Morty (Blood Sucker Edition)
Spooky Pinball, 2020
Rick and Morty (Standard)
Spooky Pinball, 2020Quoted from northerndude:Hey all, never had a Spooky, multimorphic pin so have never heard the issue with power supply fan volume/problem or maybe it's not one at all for home environment.
Is it worth spending the $17 for a quieter fan for the power supply. Thx in advance.
Spooky power supply is in the cab, not in the head...switch is where its supposed to be. ACNC is not as loud as a SPIKE. Give it a bit and make your decision.
Quoted from andrewket:#72 in the house...
I had to adjust the bottom flippers a bit; they were both a bit high. That's a PITA. Very busy under the playfield.
So far the game is brutal, but hilarious. The garage shot is possible, but very difficult.

Looks great and 2 other great pins right next to it!
NICE!!!!
Don't forget to remove the foam under the space ship! 
is that an ACNC behind it to the right???

PinMonk sales them too.

I'll be getting one, before my build is ready.

It was one of the best things I did with my ACNC. It went from aircraft takeoff to silent. Pinmonk sells a very easy install kit for Spooky... Scroll down:

Thanks for the recommendations. They can also be purchased through the pinside store here:
Pinball Life also carries it, and Ministry of Pinball has all three Pin Monk quiet fan kits in Europe. They're a bit more expensive at MoP, but considering the expensive shipping from the US and time, cheaper for Europeans overall.
Quoted from docquest:The art on Rick and Morty had an Easter egg from the second half of season 4 that no seems to have noticed yet.
If you saw the awesome vat of acid episode that premiered a couple weeks ago you might recognize the ladle on the artwork on the right side of the backbox.Wonder is Spooky knew about the episode before it aired?[quoted image]
There may even be an art reference to an even more recent episode...
Quoted from tbutler6:ACNC is not as loud as a SPIKE. Give it a bit and make your decision.
This isn't true. The stock fans are almost exactly the same dB rating. The Spike 1 (300W Meanwell) fan is 1.0 dB QUIETER than the Spooky, and the Spike 2 (500W meanwell) is an insignificant 0.1dB louder:
Spooky/Multimorphic SE-600-48 34.5dB
Stern SPV-300-48 33.5dB (Spike 1, larger fan)
Stern RSP-500-48 34.6dB (Spike 2, smaller fan)
...and the Spooky one is more annoying than either Spike fan because it doesn't have a thermal switch, so the Spooky one is ALWAYS ON. The Spike one only turns on when the power supply crosses a temperature threshold, then turns off again when it's normalized. The PITCH of the two is slightly different due to the fact that the Spooky one is much larger and the most common 500W Spike power supply fan is tiny, but the amount of noise they produce, measured in decibels, is almost the same, and all three are WAY TOO LOUD as they come from the factory.
Quoted from bkerins:There may even be an art reference to an even more recent episode...
Phoenix person?
Another fan alternative. I swapped out the fan on my PS almost right away. Did it using the TNA guide:

Used this fan:

This? (resized).pngQuoted from mpdpvdpin:Someone in this thread or the other RaM thread posted a crazy alternate backglass aaand now I can’t find it. Anyone have any info on that?
Brian Allen - Flyland Designs. I don't currently see it on the website but maybe contact him or jhoward1082 (he posted the photos below)
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/aw-jeez-official-rick-and-morty-club/page/52#post-5626512
Thank you! I sent Allen an email. Hopefully he has more in stock or is willing to produce more. I gotta get one big time.

I think there's a reason the flippers are a bit higher than you might expect on R&M from the factory. From the factory you can backhand the right ramp from the right flipper.
If you adjust the flippers to where you'd expect, you won't be able to do that, and it will make backhanding the Flooble Crank harder as well.

Seeing what Stern is pulling with the new JP topper activated mode, I just have to give a shoutout to Spooky. Eric is killing this code, and Spooky secured a massive amount of original content and asset for this game. Spooky is working hard to deliver additional modes for as long as they can under the license at no additional cost to the buyers. I can't say enough how much I love Spooky as a company for what they are bringing to the pinball industry. You guys rock!

I've been playing beta builds and Eric is completely killing it on code and content. If you want R&M as a theme, you are getting your money's worth, because this game just oozes R&M. Everything goes back to the show in one way or another.

Yea I’m a spooky fan for life!
Quoted from f3honda4me:Yea I’m a spooky fan for life!
Spooky was my first (and only) NIB purchase with ACNC. R&M will be my second NIB. I'm really proud to support a company like Spooky. They strike me as a team of people that really try to do the right thing. Every time I see another company pull some BS, it makes me even happier I choose to buy Spooky.

Spot on! We set flippers to just barely allow for a back hand of right ramp and then even up the left one which usually allows for a nice right orbit shot.

What is Stern doing with the JP topper??
Quoted from rai:What is Stern doing with the JP topper??
From the post seems it might be a mode(s) that is only available with the topper installation/purchase?
Quoted from rai:What is Stern doing with the JP topper??
DLC gated by super over priced crap topper. So glad spooky doesn’t pull that crap.

It's posts like this that make me excited for my game. Should be any day now!

This occurred to me, so I emailed spooky. They said the flippers should be “just above” the holes. Mine were significantly above. However, I think I have in fact lowered them too much now.... it’s a real pain, especially the right flipper. Getting to the nut is easy, but you have to get an alan into the other side to provide resistance.
Quoted from SpookyLuke:Spot on! We set flippers to just barely allow for a back hand of right ramp and then even up the left one which usually allows for a nice right orbit shot.
Is there an alignment indicator somewhere to help find this recommended adjustment point? It sounds like folks are adjusting them to the "traditional" alignment without realizing they are intended to be different. If the balance is fine-line as you point out (and as a player this sounds just right!), it would be great to have a reference point.

Here the outside of the rubber seems to sit about 1/16th above the alignment hole in the board. That is how we feel it plays the best!

Here is where mine were at from the factory:

You're gonna love it Mike. Spend some time to truly dial it in. Spooky does a great job from the factory, but they won't put 10s-100s of plays on it to be able to make tweaks. That's likely something that you'll have to do. Mine plays so good right now. A bit clunky sometimes on the left ramp down to the upper right flipper, but there are also times where it's really smooth. The inner orbit and garage shot are super smooth on my game. I feel like it's 99.9% perfectly set up right now.

I’ve never thought this through with backhanding in mind. I usually sign the flippers to be straight with the ball guides. Ask I understanding correctly that if you want to accentuate your ability to hit a backhanded shot, the flipper should be set upwards slightly? How does this affect other shots, if at all? Seems like it could increase ball hop making shots off the end of the flipper less reliable/more difficult?

No the flippers are up from the dot on the board but not up from the lay of the guide feeding it. We use the lay of the guide also then slightly fine tune.
I've got pairs of Mr. Meeseeks, to mount near the Mr. Meeseeks Box available on my site now...
http://LockWhenLit.com/Products.htm
They're $20 for a pair. They are ornaments, mounted to a thin plastic washer, that easily mount to existing posts near the Meeseeks Box. Easily installed and removed with no modifications needed to the game.
For those that would like to make their own, the box of 12 Meeseeks are available from Amazon...

I got my meeseeks box of them at home!
I am guessing early 80s are the next to ship any day now. They’ll have that new spooky factory smell. 
Quoted from f3honda4me:I am guessing early 80s are the next to ship any day now. They’ll have that new spooky factory smell.
Can new pin smell and new factory smell come together to create a new smell that ever smelled that will never fade away?
#115 price sheet arrived today. Yay!!!!
Question, I see Spooky is no longer doing the mirror blades. I assume there are after market mirror blades available for this game somewhere? Just making sure there are off the shelf options designed for this configuration. Thanks!
Whichever one of you Spooky bastards came up with the reverse flipper dimension, thanks a lot, totally fucked me up! 
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:Siiiick, I love reverse flipper play. What dimension is it?
YES! Enjoyed this on both ghostbusters and Houdini.
