Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Ha! Not sure who I meant. Dwight or Rick Naegle then

Quoted from Jkush18:

Thank you for this. I tried washers but maybe I need to use thicker ones to get the proper alignment. I almost wish there was an inverse of the bracket available so I could remount it properly on the right side. Seem like there's room to make that work.

Quoted from Jkush18:

That's exactly what is occurring on my game. I tired to shift the opto bracket over just a bit and then the opto must have been blocked because the coil just kept firing like a ball was stuck behind the house. I'm tempted to use wood filler on the original holes and then redrill proper pilot holes and reassemble everything just about a an 1/8 of an inch to the right. I know I've been critical of having to lift the playfield up on this game more than any other game I've owned, let alone NIB, but once she's dialed in, the gameplay, shots, flow, humor, music, clips etc..it's all there and it's a really rewarding title to play just not to tinker with all the time. Thank you to all that have chimed in with solutions to try out! Side note..a Medisynal mod set is going for $750 now? Wtf..i thought I got bent over at $500.

Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

Confession time:
I'm expecting a game next week and I'm worried that mine will be a mess, too. I'm almost afraid to unbox it, set it up, and play it. This is quite ironic of course as I have been stressing out for the last six weeks about missing out after ordering the game last year. I have posted here numerous times hoping for reassurance from other club members, etc. After all that sweating, all that dreading, a game is actually coming, but what kind of game will it be? Will it be better left in the box? I'm concerned.

Why are you here? Get lost Troll!

Quoted from explosiveegg:

Gappa Angry is my favorite mode. Which you get to by switch hits, you can watch your progress towards it by watching the freak fryer and you can make progress towards it during multiballs. Typically, I get there around the third multiball. Make sure you're using your multiball extenders on the left outlane hand of faith to give you the multiball restarts and the add a ball on the eyeball shot in the house party multiball. Once you start getting to gappa angry semi consistently, you can work on bringing ray guns in to help you get further through gappa angry.
If you need to get further in the game, don't lose track of the extra balls. You get one for completing two dead heads and one for completing (not just playing) two modes. To help you do this, make sure you have both a mode and a dead head started before shooting for multiballs. Working on deadheads will also help you with your outlane drains. As they light the right outlane save and send the ball to the left targets to work towards hand of fate. Also try learn the modes, some are much more difficult than others. I find the bottom right window and the top left windows the easiest to complete.
Another fun thing you try to do is collect the key on the left drop bank. This will unlock the secret room, which is the righter most window. There are three modes picked at semi-random than can appear at this room.
A lot of Elvira's I've played on location are setup wrong. In that the right orbit shot feeds the ball directly to the sling (instead of the flipper) or the vertical up kicker doesn't send the ball into the target bank. Both these faults make the game a lot more difficult. The game you're playing might not be dialed in, which could make it a lot harder than it's supposed to be. From a ball time perspective. Elvira is generally an easier game.
