My first NIB Stern (as of Friday).
First thing noted: shots to the garage don't register. I'm scanning the forum here (there's a lot to get though), and I don't see a similar issue. Has anyone had this problem?

Quoted from EStroh:My first NIB Stern (as of Friday).
First thing noted: shots to the garage don't register. I'm scanning the forum here (there's a lot to get though), and I don't see a similar issue. Has anyone had this problem?
Solved. In case anyone else has the issue:
The up/down post that makes the ball "lock" after passing though the garage was mis-aligned so the post never passed through the playfield. Since the post didn't hold the ball in front of the appropriate opto, the shot didn't register. I had to bend the up/down post bracket a little (from under the playfield) so that the post didn't "hang up" when passing through the playfield. In other words, the bracket needed to be bent to an exact 90 degree angle to the PF.
My apologies if this has been discussed before on this site.
Oh, I also opened a ticket with Stern last week with no response, so maybe this will help someone else looking to solve a similar problem... (?). NOW, I'm really looking forward to finally playing some games on her!
New owner - I fixed the garage lock and adjusted the VUK. My last issue...
Shots to the house always register (not an opto issue), but frequently the ball just rolls back down the entrance ramp back to the flippers (or SDTM) instead of continuing through the house. Is this a known issue with a fix?
Thanks for your help (love the game!).
Searching this forum I haven't been able to find a description of the shot sequence to progress through (and complete) each haunt. Has anyone published this somewhere?
6 haunts + 3 "locked" haunts should be easier to describe than the 14 minor villain modes on BM66, but this is what I'm aiming for...
I'm working on an apron card with the color-coded HAUNT shot sequences. Just when I thought I've got the code figured out, I realize there are differences depending on factors I have't been able to grasp yet.
It sure would be nice if Stern published a complete set of rules with their machines.
