Is there any reason to buy the LE over the premium? Other than the powder coating I can't see much else.

#6652 3 years ago

Got it listed tonight. Here is a link to the listing:

Quoted from drbrain:

Reluctantly thinking of selling my EHOH Premium. Pretty much out of the hobby and this is one of the last men standing. If there is any interest let me know. I will work on getting a listing up later this week and will pay the proper fees to pinside. Has a bunch of MODs including the amazing Medisinyl MODs. I will get a list of the MODs soon. It plays great except I need to do one last VUK fix to get that dialed in. No other issues, and has the updated house/backdoor fix installed from the factory. Very low plays. I will get more details soon. If anyone is interested message me. I am in Eastern PA. Thinking about the price and have to add up all the MODs to decide. Won't give it away but will be realistic.

LE Adds
Powder
Mirrored Backglass vs translite
Different side art
Shaker
Invisiglass
LE only side blades
Speaker Upgrade
and being an LE with signatures and such

Game play wise identical, if anything a brand new premium probably has some updates.

#6654 3 years ago

After adding up all the MODS I lowered the price to reflect everything I have into the game and to offer the game at a fair price with all the MODs.

Other than the art, you can add most of those upgrades yourself. I did for my Premium. In my case, I actually prefer the Premium's art package. I like the swirl effect of the cabinet decals, and I really don't like the dripping pink-slime that they added to the rails and art on the LE.

But some people like the slime, so ymmv.

#6656 3 years ago

The only thing I miss with the Prem is the mirrored backglass. Everything else is easily obtainable.

Agree here. I strongly prefer mirrored backglasses and EHOH LE does not disappoint and it scratches my itch. But it may not matter to most people. I am satisfied buying a premium.

#6658 3 years ago

Yes I love a real backglass ... just picked up some CPR ones for monster bash and World Cup . Now all my games are glass but CV as that’s not gonna happen

Wow. I think that’s a very fair price. I’d be surprised if it isn’t sold within the week minutes [fixed it!].

I suspect there are more people interested in the game than games available in the next run, if there is a next run.

#6660 3 years ago

Thx. Just sold pending pickup this week.

Quoted from DakotaMike:

And that’s why options are great. I think the LE art package is far superior to the Premium and really like the mirrored backglass, but I absolutely would have gotten a Premium if I hadn’t been lucky enough to get one of the last new LEs.

The only downside I can think of for an LE is that it won’t have the production line fixes.

But the upside is it will always hold its value, being an le. I think in ehoh case tho, the premiums will hold value for a long time also

#6663 3 years ago

Sold in....4 minutes? That’s a crazy good deal for all you put into it. The buyer must be pumped.

Quoted from Mando:

Thanks thinking maybe 1981 - 2011 , technically the others ones are not “movie macabre” or part of the game .
Is there aby anywhere to stream all the old shows ?

ShoutFactoryTV has some of the 81-86 Elvira episodes available on their free streaming channel. If you are fan of cheesy movies, Shout also has a streaming channel24/7 of MST3K shows as well.

Quoted from Mando:

Elvira fans .. so I am thinking of getting the dates of Elviras Movie Macabre on my tomb mod . What be be appropriate dates you think ? Original season ended in 86 but some
Of these movies in the game aired until
2011 and there www even a series in 2013z
So 1981 - ??

I asked Medisinyl for the same thing. I went with 1981-1986

IMHO, LE number is boring (and limits resale if you ever get tired of the mod).

Yeah I mean the mod would go with the machine if I ever sold it, no way I tire of that mod its killer haha!

With the said I had a new idea.

It definitely is, the 2010 revival is great - Elvira self-financed it, but there’s something really kitsch/retro about the originals, especially the really early episodes where she was working out the character

#6676 3 years ago

Does anyone have a link to the fastest method of removing the house to replace the screw to the ramp actuator?

Please and thanks.

Edit: it appears the screw has worked itself out of the arm which drives the center ramp. I've located it and a washer. But the nylon spacer is MIA. Pulled the roof and see 6 or 7 screws attaching the assembly to the playfield. Is that the path? All of it has to come out to get this screw back in?

#6677 3 years ago
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

Cointaker is only getting 10 EHOH in August and there is ONE spot left. Go get it or regret it.
[quoted image]

I am still hearing April as well. Time will tell but I think all the doomsday talk of it being pushed back indefinitely or never made again are exaggerated.

The schedule posted a few pages back was in reference to August last year which as we all know has been pushed back several times. Next to it is the Q1 schedule which says TBD. I think it will be before August although production as discussed may be limited for that run. I would wager a large sum of money we haven't seen the last of NIB EHOH.

#6678 3 years ago

I guess time will tell. They’ve got AIQ, JP, DP and TMNT orders coming out March / April and then there will be another new game announced will which hold up the line after that, then a summer release. So I honestly don’t see how they will get EHOH and BM66 on the line even for a small run until at least mid / late summer. They are definitely not a priority for Stern as they are currently juggling 5 of their biggest licenses. With new announcements coming the backlog will only deepen and games that aren’t as popular with or have a higher BOM (EHOH BM66 IMDN prem) are gonna take the brunt of it.

Also, Kaminkow has Harry Potter which will come out this year. That ought to be the nail in the coffin for EHOH and BM66

I have never been able to find it. Is there original series available?

#6680 3 years ago
Quoted from Syco54645:

My mistake - the show that's available on Amazon Prime is called "13 nights of Elvira". The 2010 series seems to be available on iTunes and on DVD.

The original 80s series is on the ShoutCast! website.

So no-one knows the best way to remove the house? C'mon, somebody toss me a bone. Please?

#6682 3 years ago
Quoted from Mikedenton49:

Take off the turret (1 screw) and the roof (2 screws). That will expose the 4 screws that hold on the house. They are 1/4”. You’ll need a longer magnetic nut driver to get at them easily. Lay something soft on your pop bumper area and just lift the house off and set it on the pops.

This seller states April but only time will tell

With everything going on at Stern I agree there is a lot of games being built and only so many hours in the day

They should ot kept the old factory as well to help with production

#6684 3 years ago

Yeah, fact of the matter is as of this month Stern does not know when it’s going back on the line. I got a confirmation from Cointaker for August...but...they don’t even really know.

Got the lenticular apron cards on my Elvira... They are really nice. They look better in person. I love the gargoyle hidden in the text. I’ll be ordering these for my Stern LEs

Everything I've heard points to April. Production numbers may be low and many already spoken for but I'd wager a large sum it will be well before August.

Nice cards, but I like them a bit larger so they block those gates in the apron. I always stick them on the apron with double sided tape.

What have you heard from your distributor? I'm going off of what I'm hearing from them.

Worst case, it could be July/August. Regardless, I'm pretty sure the talk of Elvira never being made again are not accurate.

Haven’t heard anything other than the original spring time early summer. Figured my distributor knows as much as we do.

Quoted from PeterG:

You could stick the card on some of this. That would keep it nice and flat on the metal apron.

Those lenticular cards would look even nicer if they weren't tucked into the corner holes.

Quoted from docquest:

They are THICK. That being said, they are hard to photograph, so they look a little weird in every photo I have seen/taken. In person, with the slight bend, the 3D effect is actually a little more pronounced, but the flip effect can fade at the edges, depending on the card.

I have seen them done both ways.

Either way, I am glad the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I thought I might sell 100 over the course of the year (A couple per week). As of today, I have sold just over 175 sets (Ebay and Pinside) in 9 weeks..... Its crazy.

Can you do a pricing card with standard pricing instead of Free Play?

#6698 3 years ago
Quoted from TheRudyB:

Yep... Changing a layer or two isn't that big of a deal, it only takes me about 20 minutes to draw the layer and then render the 3D effects for it. If you are looking for something a little customized, just let me know in a PM.

Here is a custom one I did for a Pinsider that has a signature card he wants to put on top of the Lenticular. The Red Box is .25" bigger than his signature card. He is basically using the red box as a frame for his signature card. I moved the eyeball over and moved the Spider and Web as well.

Any chance you can make them with red vertigo vs purple to match the premium machine?
Just a request - I like them either way!

[quoted image]

Sort of? I can definitely do the red, but I won't be able to emulate the texture in the red cleanly, so it would be a solid red. I will put it on my list of things to do on Friday.

Originally I held off on the red because of the free play font... I will see what it looks like when I revisit it.

Finishing up orders and dropping a new design on Friday... Iron man...
