I was wondering if somebody could tell me if you guys can hear the diverter motor behind the house? I am playing at about 10-15 volume, which I know isn't super loud but I can definitely hear the diverter raising / lowering.
Seems kinda loud?

Hi there,

sorry to be a nuisance but I was wondering if somebody could help me. I seem to have won the poop jackpot with this machine (LE #294)- Besides all the minor issues with it needing adjustments in places - like a lot of people seemingly are having to do - I am also having several other major issues. My crypt was not working properly - no adjustment by my pinball tech was able to fix it. After reviewing a video I sent them, Stern is now sending me a whole new crypt assembly.

But what I was wondering is: how is the trunk supposed to act?

I am on code 0.85 if that matters. If I hit the trunk targets, the trunk opens up, then upon shooting the left lane, the ball gets trapped in the trunk and stays there. Then I get so launch a new ball from the shooter lane. Same if I hit the side entrance. It counts the lock and then the ball stays in there. Launch new one from shooter lane.

I was watching PAPA TV live and they were on the latest code as well and their trunk was acting completely different than mine. Upon locking a ball in the trunk their game would count the lock and then eject it right away from the trunk and put it back into play.

That's not even the only issue with my trunk but for now I was wondering HOW is the trunk supposed to act? Does yours keep the ball(s) trapped in it until multiball OR does it count the lock and eject it right away, thus never keeping a ball in the trunk?

Sorry for the wall of text. I want to like this game so badly but I have sooooo many issues

Oh ok! I did not know that that was a feature you could turn on! That makes perfect sense! thank you so much for your reply!

Quoted from SKWilson:

Virtual locks were added in the latest update.

Great! Thank you again - that is one less problem I have to worry about

So I had a lot of issues with my machine out of the box, but after dialing it in and replacing the crypt assembly and motor it's all coming together very nicely Great machine!
I was wondering though if somebody could help me. My machine was missing the extra metal piece in the back needed for the skillshot, so I got in touch with stern and ordered one.
Well, today I received my "Elvira Repair Kit" ,as they called it, and it came with 2 pieces of metal. One being the one needed to make the skillshot..... the one one I have no clue what it's for ?

Any ideas?

Quoted from SKWilson:

What's funny is I didn't think I had a problem. After I initially set up my game, I was able to make the skill shot pretty regularly. Then, when I moved all my games and re-leveled them, I realized my playfield was under 6.5 degrees (can't trust that darn bubble!). Once I had it at roughly 6.9 degrees, I started having problems making the shot.
Here's the link to the video:

Unfortunately, my kit was missing a page of instructions (Steps 1 and 2), so I wasn't sure about the second guide. (We figured it out in the video.)
Here is the new guide that goes to the right of the house by the pop bumpers. The new guide (on the left) has a slight bend in the part that is behind the house.

Here is the new guide that goes to the left of the house behind the garage ball lock. The new guide (on the left) is longer and straightens out the curve of the lock ball guide.
[quoted image]
If your machine doesn't have these guides, contact the parts department through the website. Be sure to include your serial number and address.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you for this. That's funny though that you were missing pages 1 and 2, because they only send me page 8 of the instructions and nothing else.

Quoted from SKWilson:

PAGE 8?!?!? I only have pages 3 and 4. What's on page 8? For that matter, what the heck is on pages 5-7!?!? What are we missing? I think Imma start drinking again.

Haha Minor correction - I was only given page 7 - describing Step 8: How to install the turret on top of the house.
Drinking does sound great though.

A couple of days ago I received my crate zombie mod from Andrew (vimtoman) and while I have not had a chance to install it yet -- I am just so impressed with the thing Looks fantastic and the attention to detail is lovely. Oh and shipping was crazy fast as well.

Hopefully I will get a chance to install it soon. Looking forward to seeing it in action!
