I know life and $ and blah blah...but for the life of me I can never comprehend how ppl ever own a game like this and ever sell it ^_^ Can't wait to see what/if you come up with anything crazy for it with your engineering skills!

Audio call outs kill it for me, they are really amateur imo and I don't like the art package at all.
In Australia it is nearly 11k for nib VE v 6-7k for a really sweet original red 2nd hand.
No brainer for me.

Same here, they may sound higher quality but i think the audio content is a definitely a backwards step.

That clear coat looks awesome! I'm so glad stern is putting better clear on their games now

ohhh yeah!!! equal or better than bonesaw..

Has anyone tried backing up the SMVE code to a USB via the menus, then updating an older SM?

Perhaps there's a reason Stern haven't uploaded the VE's code on their site...

I would love to know if you can put the VE code on a 2007/10 Spidey

Nope. The new VE code is not compatible with the original SPiderman even though they are the same boardset. I asked.

Could you or anyone else elaborate on why this is? Would be fun to jump back and forth between the codes.

Is there a lock on the SAM board that stops this from happening?

Check it out.

In with a SMVE. Anyone else think the shot under the upper flipper is harder on SM than on ST? Also, does anyone try to go for spider sense? Or is it one of those game features that you kinda let run in the background and if it happens, great, but it's not something to try for? One time I got it by accident and got 4 or 5 jackpots at once, was about 10M total.

The shot under the flipper on SM is definitely harder than the one on ST.

As far as Spider Sense goes, it can add a ball (and ball saver) to multiball. It can add a ball to Battle Royal, and it can add a ball to Super Hero. In all of those cases, you can only use it one time per current scenario.

I have played thousands of games, but I have never understood exactly how the award is chosen. It seems random (even in tournament mode), but I don't know what cycles it. My guess is it's cycling in the background along with the modes cycling, so every sling or pop advances it.

Basically, if I'm in multiball and I see SS flashing, I will save it and only hit it as my mb is ending. It's pretty awesome to get that grace period restart. Since the award appears to be random, there's no guarantee it will add a ball, but more often than not it does.

Other than that, one Spider Sense shot is necessary for completing level 5 of Superhero.

I have my SMVE on order, will take a few more months. Played one on location yesterday and it seemed dark (southern flood light was out, sooo......). This is a pin which I am already happy with out of the box, no need to go 15 mods deep like I did on my STPro for example, BUT:

Your lightshow, mirrorblades, sub and powdercoat will be a must, your work here is fantastic! Can not wait to place my order. You are turning this already outstanding pin into a stunner!!! Keep the updates coming

Poll should be updated to include the VE.

My original Spidey seems really "bouncy" around the flippers and just wondering if some new sling rubbers might help this issue. Compared to my other Sterns, GOT and MET, the ball is still controllable but SM seems to have more bounces and a lot of ball back spin.

flipper rubbers (or Titan silicone or super bands or pinball life silicone) vary greatly from unit to unit. experiment with them all. you might as well since they are extremely affordable and easily changed

hi,will it work with original SM ?
thanks for your answer

Reread this whole thread now that i have SMVE in the house. Didnt see anyone mention this so her it goes...

Are there any adjustments to the 1way gate on the right orbit shot? The ball clips that gate on my machine even on screaming orbit shots. Should the ball touch/glance the gate when its fully againt the outside ball guide?

I had a clean shot from the flippers go up the right orbit clear against the right ball guide, clip the gate and push it back leading to a glass off stuck ball.

Also sometimes the auto plunger fires the ball so hard it clips the under side of the right ramp wire form and sometimes even has air time enough to nail the side of the controlled gate in the back right corner.

I have issues with my OG spiderman not always clearing right orbit even when clean. You've inspired me to see if tweaks should be made to the one way half gate

I was having an issue on my original spidey with that gate and just bent it a bit towards the inside rail guide with a pliers, fixed.

It hits the gate not the bracket. Heres a pic of the stuck ball.

I believe the ball should fit through there without touching the gate.

Try bending it towards Doc Oc, should give you the clearance.....or you could remount the bracket to the pf in a more desirable position if you are ambitious.

Gate looks like its getting caught on the inner guide rail?

The gate swings freely, but it seems the issue is that as the gate swings back the shot gets tighter and there isnt enough room for the ball too.

Only happened once, but ive only had game a few days. Hehe.

Perhaps a tweak to the gate or even the angle of the bracket/mount might help.

Thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the pic. Your gate looks more vertical when in resting position than mine. Ill take a pic and post for comparison. If so then just adjusting the end of the gate wire a bit should allow it to lower more and give me more clearance.

Fantastic!

Just above the left inlane and outlane there's a leaf switch behind a rubber band. It's next to the left outlane adjustable post. What does it do? Does the game use it at all? Or could it might as well just be the rubber band with no switch?

Fixed my right orbit gate issue. Ball could just barely squeeze through there without touching the gate.

Put a pair of needle nose pliers on the doc oc side of the wire guide and held the end of the gate wite vertical, then adjusted/bent the gate slightly down toward playfield slightly.

Now there is about 1mm gap like timebandit suggested.

Thanks!

What's the street price for a NIB Spidey Vault Ed?

Are those dimpels on the magnet?? The clearcoat on the machine looks very nice.

About 6700

6700 street?

Don't do a street deal with this guy.

That should get it delivered.

Yeah, delivered to your door.

Hello, I am looking for the buildings and subway train for SM... let me know if you have a set to sell or want to get rid of yours

LMAO

I guess that whatever they thought it might become some day never happened.

Got my wiring harness for my colorDMD since I had a spare. Really hope they color SM someday. Was thinking about getting a RGB speaker light kit and adaptor to also change colors on the DMD. Do you think this would be a good addition till it gets the color treatment? Also when and if it does get colored, does the RGB need to be removed from the DMD?
