That's likely what I'll do, Stern has already offered to send me a new switch. Waiting to see what they suggest for the ramp first though before I have them send that out.

EHOH - Tip of the Day:

I was becoming a little annoyed at my VUK. I thought that at max power it was suppose to strike one of the "junk in the trunk" targets. The factory default is Max 255 and it doesn't ever hit those targets (I'm fine with that because I think over time it would break things). What is does do it make a perfect shot to the left drain lane 20% of the time. I've seen where others have put tape on the inside curve the VUK to slow things down. That works but is kind of old school. The new code allows for coil power tweaks. I dropped my coil power down to 200 and I'm pretty happy with the results. A perfect serve to the left flipper.

Yes, I think Dennis and Lyman hit it out of the park there! And all my other pins I can never watch any of the video because the ball is still in play here the ball is safely stopped it feels like a solid shot you see a short video and boom it picks right up I really like it.

I find myself sitting here at work watching the clock...anxiously looking forward to getting home to play a few games of EHOH...I can't say I have ever felt that way towards any other Pin in my collection...maybe it's the beer that I will have while playing...hmmm, doesn't matter...either way Elvira is involved. I do enjoy this machine...thanks Stern.

Hey guys. Are there still LEs available out there? If so, what is the real street price I should expect (not MSRP)?

Premium owners please chime in when you game gets delivered!

That’s funny. That spacer isn’t listed in the manual but it is the exact fix I suggested in post #571. I certainly didn’t have a spacer in that location.

Yes, there are a few. It’ll be tough to find one under MSRP at this point, but cash or a wire transfer might increase your odds.

There’s also an HUO LE in the marketplace for $9k.

My premium came Friday

How does the cabinet look on it?

Fantastic!

Got home from work today and wife surprised me with a elvira figure to display her inside I was pretty stoke let me know what you guys think. She looks on fire

Awesome... Now you have both an Elvira pin and Attack of the 50 foot Woman!!! Cos, she is as tall as her house!!! If the house was made of brick... She'd be a BRICK....

Yeah... I'm sorry guys. I'll just slink away.

Released in 2010, it’s quite pricey on the secondary market but it’s a very nice likeness and the whole “Attack of the 50’ Woman” angle could certainly work with the theme. (Is she standing on a pop bumper?)

A very nice gift from your wife. I’m just happy mine let us get the game.

I finally hit the back door skill shot! I have no idea how I did it. It is truly right behind the house on the right side just past the ball diverter. I definitely heard it click and then it told me I hit the shot. It seems as if you have to auto plunge just the right strength and it is still hit or miss but that’s all I could figure out. I suggest play with it and see if you can figure it out everyone.

My cheap digital pitch meter is way off. I used a different one and the results are much more in-line with factory specs. Between the lines on the bubble level is fairly accurate (6.50 degrees).

Never too old to play with Dolls !

got my Signature Edition #25/50 yesterday. extremely impressed so far. not one issue. it's hard to tell in the pics, but the foil is jaw dropping incredible. the code is young, but like others have said, the framework that's there is solid and I expect nothing but greatness from what's to come.

code update, proper alignment, and power adjustments were a must.

the shots on this game are like a dream. and stacking all the modes and multiballs on top of eachother while staring at boobies is exactly what it sounds like.

I saw that CL posting. That was a good deal and made me bummed I was already paid in full.

Congrats! Would love to see the side decals in person. From what I understand it’s almost impossible to take a representative photo.

What do you mean by “proper alignment”?

just leveling it properly so I can actually hit the skill shot and messing with the VUK so it doesn't shoot into the outlane..

same stuff everyone else is having to do, but again not a big deal at all only took a few minutes.

Armor shape and color looks great. I wouldn't add a bunch of aftermarket crap because it looks great stock.

Well maybe some chrome or black leg bolts. That's a nice frugal upgrade after dropping all that cash

@hbagz - I see Gary didn’t sign the COA. How do you know it’s actually an authentic Signature Edition?

I would take hers over his any day.

Absolutely.

Has anyone else been experiencing the ball when coming around the orbit on the left will hit the left slingshot ? Have my game at 7 degrees.

Any proven fixes or adjustments?

I think EVERYONE has been experiencing this, tbh. Almost seems intentional.

It is intentional. But, you can get around it by giving the game a bit of a nudge. You might still hit the sling... But, it should be easier to rebound and control even if it does hit the sling.
Game keeps you on your toes that is certain. And I think that is one of the trade offs for the layout of the shots. Not a lot of tough shots in this game. But, keeping control and getting the ball back under control, can be a challenge.

Some enterprising distributor (or Stern) could have made a lot of money selling T-shirts and translites for the signing/photo sessions with Cassandra. I just happened to find the T-shirt by dumb luck at the Stern factory tour. I did manage to snag one of the limited edition backglass prints, but would have loved a signed translite.

So I guess we won't see any infinitely repeatable SR-style outer orbit shots with this game? Leaving this out seems like an odd choice considering how the layout is capable of it. Maybe purposely slowing down the gameplay?

I assume it is intentional because it did the same on the Deadflip reveal stream which had all the Stern folk playing it live.

Got to play this exact game and meet Matt Tuesday night (awesome guy and host). Previously didn't see more of the game than a bit of a stream and the teaser, so I was pretty impressed when I got to experience it. Code may be early, but the atmosphere is already beyond expectations (haunt intro is perfect).

Foil cabinet absolutely needs to be seen in person to appreciate.

Can't wait to play it again

Any updates on when the Premiums will be shipping? Thanks

End of next week is what I heard. LEs/SEs finished earlier this week.

Great! Thanks

So, a couple things I just need to rant about...

Hit 419m today. Could've been higher, but had some short multiballs.

I know the code will come. I'm not worried about that, but the antici-

pation is killing me.
1. Reaching Director's Cut and getting stuck with nothing to do really sucks. I started trying to figure out a way to shoot the left outlane on purpose.
2. Trailer Trash can be worth a ton of points. Wow.
3. On another game, I had 44m in bonus. If only I had selected Double Bone Us from the Hand of Fate!
4. Is it going to be possible to get all six awards from the HoF?
5. I turned on my GOTG Pre for the first time since getting EHOH and ST. Made me wish EHOH had RGB lighting.

Okay. End of rant.
Go play some pinball!

glad to have you over, I couldn't have set it up without you lol, thank you again so much I can't wait to have you back again. really excited to check out your mods and potentially get something for Elvira.

After leveling it correctly, the tilt wire is now very close to the bracket. It tilts very easily, even without nudging. Anyone has this issue or know the best way to fix it? (sorry it's difficult to show with pictures, the wire is almost touching the lower right part of the bracket)

That looks very wrong. New Sterns are almost flat footed when you have them at the proper level (unlike Bally and Williams). The bubble level is ok. Are you between the lines?

Yes
She's a little at 6.8.
I think the bracket has not been mounted correctly, I'm a little afraid to bend it to correct the issue

More pics of the bracket

Move/bend the bracket to where it should be. Fixed.

That cannot be the intention. It kills the flow of the game. My friends machine wasn't doing it but started after we played a bit. Figured it either got off level or something in the game shifted. Worst case adjust the ball guide a hair to move it out. Has to be possible.

Looks like somebody got a little sloppy at the factory. I agree with NightTrain - bend it.

That's how David Beckham fixed the bracket on his game. Do what he did...bend it like Beckham.

Loosen the mounting screw and rotate it up.

It's just sagging a bit.

Not that I ever understood a Tilt Mech in a home game.

Having issues with gargoyles in front of house. Originally they would pop up and stick in the up position. So I loosened them and repositioned. So now they move freely. Although after a few games the bracket gets hammered and moves. Thus making them catch again. Any ideas?
Magicchiz

Dumb question, but did you remove the shipping foam from under neither the playfield that protects the gargoyles during shipping?
