Quoted from chet218:What are some of the movies in this machine that are so bad, they are enjoyable to watch? I watched Manos on YouTube and was amazed at how incredibly bad the movie was. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was interested in watching some more of the movies represented in the machine
Quoted from NeilMcRae:to add to this, check the two screws are tight facing the playfield.
the key thing is to get the play field on the front bar and tighten the hinge screw that is normally flush with the side board.
Neil.
All screws are tight and the hinge screw has a lot of play in it but as tight as I can get it.
Quoted from AvidPinPlayer:New to this thread. On course to purchase a new EHoH Premium; aside from cosmetics, shaker, and speakers, is there any difference in game play between the Premium model and the other two models?
No gameplay difference.
Quoted from nexfx:Need some help. Recently when I shoot the house to start a mod, the ball will just roll back out. This happens 80% of the time. Because this happens I don't get to see the Elvira clips much. what should I look for to fix this?
See post #2375 for fix.
Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:I feel that has something to do with the most recent code because it is doing it to me also but not at the the same rate. I think there was a change in the game timing. I'm hoping it magically goes away with the May code update. Oh wait, it June now. If it doesn't go away I might have to do some exploratory surgery to find the cause.
Probably not code and a possible fix in post #2375.
Quoted from nexfx:I just checked into that fix and that post is not binding on the edge on mine.
By checked you mean you pushed up on that post multiple times and it freely fell back down without any friction slowing it down? Was a fix for my issue and just the slightest friction slowing that post to drop down will screw up the timing.
Quoted from jandrea95:Have you tried the stern fix where you re-drill holes, etc? It made me cringe hearing about it, but I literally did it yesterday and it blasts across the table 100 percent of the time now. Before it would take 3 or 4 tries to even dribble out of the mech.
I actually lowered the power to 225 and it STILL blasts across into the targets. It made a night and day difference.
The PDF with pictures posted in this thread doesn't specify how far to move the bracket and the picture also shows after they moved the bracket that it was closer to side of playfield also. If I have to re-drill holes I need more specific instructions and way to test it before making swiss cheese out of the playfield. It would have been nice if they made the bracket with slotted holes to where it could be adjusted without drilling new holes in playfield.
Quoted from jandrea95:Agree 100 percent. Check out 3199 by rob_g . I took his advice to test. It worked great. I also agree that its really cringy to drill holes.
The only thing I can say definitively is it worked for me, and I went from not even making it out of the hole to consistently hitting the targets, 100 percent of the time.
Certainly, do your own research and make your best judgment for your machines, I am just a random dude who it worked for
Awesome idea by rob_g!!! I don't mind drilling new holes as long as I'm sure it's positioned right first.
So I went to try and reposition my crypt vuk and noticed the previous owner already moved it. I looked through the vuk exit and looked like it was off center towards the upper playfield. I moved it back to original position and it lined up perfectly. Works too good now and had to turn vuk power down to 210. If your having issues with it look down into vuk exit and make sure middle of plunger lines up with middle of vuk exit or the screw like in picture.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Those rules look like they might be outdated. "attic attack" is already in the code - it's the 3rd Garage multiball. I thought Director's Cut was the final wizard mode? I haven't seen that yet.
There is a final mode with attic in the name after you complete all the rooms in house but skeleton key room, can't specifically remember the exact name but have gotten to it a few times. The audio in the game goes silent and video shows the house and then pans to Elvira's campy camper. It's a multiball with a bunch of jackpot shots and the audio seems incomplete so I think it just needs an audio introduction to the camper with Elvira announcing the mode and then a final polish on the mode audio itself.

Mode is called "House Attic Party". Don't watch if you don't want it spoiled for you but not really complete anyway. Fastest multiball drain I've had in awhile lol.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:I can't believe there are so many modes I still haven't seen. this is awesome!
Game is pretty special, has Lyman's magic touch for sure.
Quoted from marspinball:I have some questions on the VUK kickout issues.
I made some adjustments to the VUK. I moved it a few of times now and have one screw with a washer holding it down like previously pictured. It's pretty solid.
I'm getting about 60% of the ejected balls hitting the targets, about 10% above the targets, and remainder are weak and go towards the left outhole.
Not sure what else to do and don't want to commit to screwing the mech permanently down yet. Does this sound acceptable or should they always be strong target shots?
Any recommendations?
Look down in vuk from the top and see if the post that kicks the ball out is off center. Move it until it looks centered better any try it.
20200611_203747 (resized).jpgQuoted from xbmanx:I just got an Elvira. Im trying to update to the newest version code. I format my USB thumb drive. I extract the zip file to my computer. Open the folder and copy the files to the thumb drive root. I insert into the USB thats in the center of the backbox board. I put the machine on and nothing happens. It just goes to the play screen. Any advice on what i'm doing wrong here?
Try a different USB, sometimes games are finicky to which USB you use for some reason.
Quoted from bloodydrake:has anyone seen the clown dead head?
You have to defeat three deadheads or three phases and then the clown will appear as the super headshot once you activate the crypt again. Got to it a couple of times and it's pretty creepy lol.
Quoted from Enchantress:Still have not seen my turret spin!? Anyone else experiencing the buzz kill effect for this mysterious feature? Is it fact that only the house party mode will get her spinning? If so, hopefully with the next update Lyman will have it be incorporated into more play.
You only have to start three haunts and then the next haunt is house party. Try to get better at main house ramp shot and backdoor skill shot and you can start haunts easier, then you can time them out if you trap the ball on one of the flippers.
Quoted from AvidPinPlayer:I finally got to the”Director’s Cut” and it was lots of fun. The only problem is that I’m not sure how I got there ????
You finished four haunts, that's how you got there.
Quoted from whiteyjfm:I will look into changing the coil stops myself again. I know my limitations and don't want to mess up a $8000 pin. If I can do it myself, trust me I will. Thanks for all the info. Like to learn a new thing or 2 every day.
If it's the coil stops, you will have what looks like gold dust right underneath the flippers in bottom of cabinet or on top of coin box.
Quoted from TheCnyPinGuy:Was / is this the ‘final’ run for EHoH ?
A buddy if mine keeps asking me if I’ll cut mine loose and it’s a keeper for now I mentioned Stern is building more figured this run is already sold out
Any info ?
Couple of ads from distributors in marketplace claiming they have spots available for this run.
Quoted from PinStalker:Very thankful they are doing this run to clear the standing orders. They didn't have to.
They didn't have to bend people over that had deposits on the game at a cheaper price, they could do the right thing and honor the price people committed to originally.
