Sorry about that Medisinyl. When I was typing it I thought it wasn’t correct, but honestly, I was being lazy and didn’t feel like checking the spelling. Haha! Thanks again for making the great mods for this game. I’ll post a pic when it arrives.

#8302 2 years ago
Quoted from orangestorm87:

Does the deadhead crypt close completely or is there a gap like many of the older games?

This is what mine looks like closed.

Quoted from Medisinyl:

Medysinal = Medisinyl
Sorry for such a confusing name. I first started using it when making a priest/healer class character in EverQuest Online Adventures when I was 18 (2003). I guess it stuck

Hah - what server did you play on? I had a magician named Beguilaen (another difficult name to spell) on The Rathe. I think I played all the way to level 85 before I returned to real life.

I kind of like the look of the retrorefurb blades. Thinking about grabbing a set.

I have these multicolored blades from Tilt. They look great, but I must say I like the Retro Refurbs blades as much or more. Pretty sweet.

#8307 2 years ago

What about mirror blades for Elvira? That is the direction I've been leaning on this one. I could be swayed, however.

#8308 2 years ago

Only time will tell! She stood out above the crowd far enough to get an encore. So far the only one that has truly stuck after more than one time in my gameroom is Wonka CE.

I have these as well. They look great. Very happy with them.

#8310 2 years ago

Anyone know where to find the black nubs of death (aka rail bumpers) that this game uses? Mine are beat to sh*t and all I can find are blue ones.

Right? My distributor got cut from 5 to 2 (I was the 3rd order), then ultimate received 4. Lucky me!

#8314 2 years ago

Having a issue with the ball getting stuck behind the house on weak plunges. If I plunge a second ball it knocks the first ball out and replaces it. A left orbit shot knocks it out. 2 videos here:

I can't see what's going on at all in these videos. My suggestion is to take off the house and then troubleshoot with a clear point of view.

Same here, Jason texted me while ago that my game was ready to be picked up, when it was looking like it may be August.

Is everyone here covered now?

Or is there anyone here that placed a order months ago and is still waiting?

Just curious.

Same issue on my May 12th build. Haven't had time to dig into it yet. Let me know if you sort it out before I do lol. I'll do the same

Gonna take the house off this weekend and see what I find. I was hoping I could avoid that.

#8319 2 years ago

Did Stern change the back door entrance/skill shot on later models to make the skill shot easier to make? Or was there a fix kit for that? Mine was built Nov, 2019 and that shot is pretty hard to make. I like it that way. Maybe 1/3 of my plunges end up in the back door. The plunge must be just right.

My distributor last Friday said Stern shipped mine to him, so hopefully he receives it Wednesday and then notifies me. Fingers still crossed. Not ordering shaker or art blades yet. I put deposit down in November.

#8321 2 years ago

Got the call! My NIB Premium is coming today!!! WHOOO HOOOO

Hey everyone been lurking w/o a profile since I ordered EHOH back in February, I was told last week I'm in August run now. Atleast I finally have a profile now, looking hard for a silver lining here

#8323 2 years ago

My work still just has a deposit down. No word on actual machine yet. So hoping to join everyone soon.

I wrote to Stern and they are telling me they only know this game to have blue nubs of death. But mine came with black ones. I looked online and every playfield pic I can find has blue ones. Do any of you have black ones or is mine a one-off? LOL

#8325 2 years ago

Thanks Jason!!!

I have to ask the question - you are sure they are black and not just extremely dirty blue ones? The blue ones do turn black with graphite dust over time, but generally just in the area that the ball strikes.

I don’t see the ramp bumpers on Marco/PBL etc in anything but blue. Are you the original owner? Maybe a previous owner made black ones or painted them?

Never seen black ones on an Elvira , did you get this new? If not is it possible someone put the wrong type material, I have 2300 games on mine and no wear at all on the blue ones....

#8328 2 years ago

Here's what I have. I reversed their direction after one side got bad and when doing so noticed they are made just like the blue ones. They aren't like, a hack where someone just cut black material. They have the proper metal screw holes and all that. So weird!

But I'll tell ya they do look waaaay better than the blue ones in that they blend in so you don't even see them. If Stern didn't actually do black, they should have.

Wow those are hammered. How many plays does that game have?

I do like the black color though.

#8330 2 years ago

Mine are black as well.

YESSS!!! I'm not crazy. I really was starting to think someone just did this one-off at the Stern factory to mess with me.

Quoted from Damonator:

Probably 1,500 pretty long plays.

#8332 2 years ago

I ordered mine in mid January. Distributor told me he is not getting enough in May production and may not get enough in August to fulfill my order.

#8333 2 years ago

I ordered mine in early March I am fearful that my distributer doesn't want to tell me the bad news that I still have a long wait ahead of me

Ordered mine February, with April / May expectations, got the email beginning of May with bad news looks like August followed by an email last week saying they got one extra in the May run. Just got the call from FedEx Freight and mine is coming Thursday!. Better to be lucky then good

Mine has the Black nubs in front of the left ramp as well.

Quoted from BigPinDaddy:

Mine is May 15.

I had a long day and I have done everything except leveling it (my basement floor is not level at all), and turning it on.

One stupid question. The paper under the glass says remove cable tie & foam.

The foam was easy to spot, but I do not see a cable tie anywhere.

Thanks for any help!

Im on for an august run..and unfortunately have no way of knowing where i am on the list or what my chances are due to the current and projected distributor shorts at play. My distro guy clammed up and sterns a wall. Trying to keep the faith..seeing production moving in any capacity is at least a good sign of more on the way. The action here at pinside is keeping me sane. Thanks pinside!

Im kinda concerned about this ball getting stuck behind house on this new run. Taking that house off does not exactly look like fun. Hope thats an easy fix BigPinDaddy

For what it’s worth mine (May 14 build) has been trouble free out of the box.

#8340 2 years ago

House is like 6 screws. I have taken it off at least three times. It's very easy.
If you don't like maintenance, this pin might frustrate you more than others.

Mine is May 15th and has the same issue with the ball handing up before the gate behind the house. I’ll dig into it this weekend as well.

Mine is being delivered today. I hope this isn't a problem with all the current run games. You'd think something like that would have been noticed by QC and fixed before shipping. Are any others experiencing the same issue?

#8344 2 years ago

Just came to say my distributor called and my EHOH is on its way. That is all.

#8345 2 years ago

Delivery was delayed 3 different times by FedEx, but it finally showed up today.

This game is top! Beautiful! With simple rules, but when we launch several missions at the same time, we have to make decisions quickly! A very good game!
