I just got on the waiting list for a premium scheduled for 2022. Lol. I am super excited to add this to the collection.

Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:For the record, that is about the time the Elvira license is up from what I understand. Is this the last call????? Might me.
Not sure but I am glad I got on the list before they are off the line for good.

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
You make the best mods around. I am on run 24 but won’t get my machine ready until 2022. So I guess you could say your mods a my medicine for the wait.

Is it just me or does it seam like they put someone that is green on the QC line? I have been stalking this thread eagerly waiting for my machine but it’s a little concerning with the QC problems. I know NIB machines have issues albeit minor, all three of mine had something to fix.

Has anyone heard when in 2022 the next run will be? I know they shorted the last run so I figured it would be February or March.
Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:That might be the last new Elvira House of Horrors pin seen in 2021.

I just hope they don’t go to deep into 2022 for the next run.

This would is very disheartening. I already have the Gonk and the crypt mods ready to go. Now I am not sure if I want to pay $9200 for a game that’s not an LE.
Quoted from docquest:Not only cost more but also the newly produced games will get the ugly QR scanner on the right side of the apron. I'd rather have the game artwork there (or a cool video screen with cheesy trailers).
I know I wanted your mods on both sides but now Stern is making that impossible.
Quoted from Ruenin:Hmmm...if this is true, my distributor hasn't hit me up for more money for mine. I have a deposit down on the next run and he invoiced me at $8400 back in May.
I am in the same boat. Just waiting to see if Stern honors existing orders or if we are going to get dicked over.
Quoted from JakePG:Possible that that distributor is selling higher than Sterns floor price and others will sell for less?
I hope so because if it’s $10,000 I am out and I will just have to sale my mods.
Quoted from docquest:Exactly, having a wide variety of objectives and non linear paths to play is great. People complain about code depth, but I think this game really excels with its code "width".
That’s what she said.

Quoted from UnholySpectacle:Everything produced from here on will have Insider Connected. All games had a recent $300 price increase even after the previous bump. After 1/1/2022 all games will follow Godzilla pricing meaning MSRP for next years run will be $9000.
I was told by my distributor that Stern doesn’t know yet if they are going up on this title yet because of the last price increase. I am sure the $300 Increase will happen for sure but TBA on the big increase.

How about Stern make the Premium I ordered back in April.
It does look good with the purple armor though.
Quoted from docquest:Since playfields are identical it would make sense to run standard premiums with the 40'th so maybe it will be one big run so there are all built in December.
I'm assuming though that they will all probably have the insider connected hardware added so price will be higher for that.
I was hoping they would have had the new apron art to fit the insider connected stuff to show off at the show but I guess it wasn't ready yet. Maybe they will show something during the Stern seminar.
That would be a great Christmas gift of that actually happens.

Quoted from docquest:Thanks for nice words! I finally got pics and vids showing the new bigger screen in my pinside shop. Double and single screen versions of the mod are in stock and ready to ship. https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1120-docquest-pinball-mods/04964-elvira-house-of-horrors-apron-video-display-mod
I also added a new variation for 40'th anniversary owners. The background swirls are purplish with a cheetah print pattern and have a backlit Elvira's 40'th logo in the corner.
As a special new years holiday bonus, all orders placed midnight EST this Friday will also include my back door sign mod for free![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
I would love to get one but who knows if I will ever get my EHOH. This is one of the best looking Mods ever.
I just wish they would just come out and say it if they truly are ending the production of EHOH. I keep pestering my distributor about this and they keep telling me they are still being built and Stern has not said anything about canceling their allocations. I just want my game I ordered back in April.

Quoted from gambit3113:I’ve had it a week and it’s gotten more play in the house in that time than any machine I have ever owned. I’m pretty sure that the ultimate lineup of Sterns is now: EHOH, DP, GZ
That’s a great list of games. So have it that is the exact list of games I have on order. I just hope I get them all this year.
Does anyone have the Medisinyl mods and the Crate Mod for Elvira? I was just concerned that it would look over crowded on the left side.
Quoted from Dexter:Must have mods! Must Have!
I already have both but was just concerned about it looking cluttered. I have to wait until November before I can see for myself.

Let’s go November. I am so ready to join the club. I placed my order back in April of last year, and getting anxious. I really hope Stern doesn’t have another price increase before. lol.

Quoted from PinMonk:Your Elvira mod set is THE BOMB. Really quality stuff that improves the look.
Are you doing cleavage pop covers again for this farewell edition?
That would be awesome. That’s all I need to have the complete set.

November is right around the corner. Maybe we will see something happen this year with the release of the Target Elvira box. Please Stern don’t make us wait any longer for our EHOH.

What really sucks is they slid the 40th edition ahead of the price increase. If they ran the premium instead, maybe some of us who had their order in for a year and a half could have felt less cheated.

I too got confirmation that Elvira will be $10,500. Now I just hope I make the short list for this run. Especially if this is the last one.
Quoted from docquest:The million dollar question is what type of apron will Stern use on the new Elvira run.
Will they use the same apron that they used on the 40th with the IC scanner mounted on plastic plate within larger triangular cutout on the left side of the apron. In that case you could install my video mode on either side or both sides.
Or will they move to the current apron style used on all the recent premium and LE games (Bond, Rush, Godzilla) with the IC scanner mounted in a smaller rectangular cutout on the right side of the apron. In that case your only option would be a single screen mounted on the left.
Guess well just have to wait until thebfirst games come out of this run and see which direction they decided to go.
I should be on this next run. If you are still offering the screen mods, I would love to get one once we know what style Stern is using.

As we get closer to the next run, I am getting very excited for this pin. It’s been on order for two years and had who knows how many price increases, but I will finally have this lovely lady in my game room.

Quoted from EaglePin:I just bend mine back into shape when it needs it. The leaf switch adjustment tool works pretty well for doing it.
Just a thought but would a sheet metal clamp work to flatten out the dent?
I texted Zach yesterday and he hadn’t heard anything yet, but now that our homie Gomie has given the good news. I am super pumped.
I was told my machine will be shipped in 2-14 days. It is finally happening. Elvira will finally be mine.
Quoted from docquest:Anyone see what the apron looks like, i.e. which side is IC on and and is the IC the smaller style cutout hole like Bond Nd Godzilla or the big triangle hole used on earlier games?
I will be ordering on as soon as we know what side. I know they are back ordered, but it’s a must have.
Quoted from VisitorQ:OMG! ZERO.ZERO!!
44C2CB65-3E23-4F9E-B9BF-6CDF128EA0E3 (resized).pngQuick question. When first starting a new game, are the haunts available right away or do you have to qualify them? I am trying to figure out if I have an opto problem. I shoot up the middle and the opto looks to be registering but the haunt doesn’t start. When I start a mode from the back any shots up the middle seem to be registering. In test mode the opto reads the ball just fine.
The shots go through and the opto registers but I am beginning to think it’s a diverter issue in the back of the house.
Quoted from explosiveegg:If you see the skull on the center shot ramp and the purple light flashing in front of it.
Hitting the center shot should start a mode.
I believe with default code it should be lit at the start of the game. Modes started after the first take an additional shot to the house to start.
Unfortunately I believe it’s the diverter in the back. It’s not going up and stays in the down position. I am guessing something is binding or maybe the switches in the back are not being activated. Looks like I get to put my head under the hood today after work.
Finally my machine is running as it should and mods have been installed. The long wait is over and now it’s time to enjoy Elvira.

Does anyone know where to get the Boney Beast from Scared Stiff? I was thinking about putting in my EHOH if I can find one. I found a full set with flippers and other pieces, but I was hoping to just find the snake.
Quoted from Jrotten:Are you looking for just the bones to adapt to EHOH? John
Yes I am just looking for the skull and some rib bones.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:I’d just get that if it’s $200 or less. Buying a whole new set is expensive.
I found the set but it was $300 from planetary pinball.
Quoted from Rockbiter:Ministry of pinball, 6.49 euro each, you need 17.
https://www.ministryofpinball.com/en/scared-stiff-skeleton-rib.html
You may buy the skull from pinballlife or get it from ministry of pinball.

Great tutorial video here:
thank you very much. I was having hell finding the individual rib bones.
If anyone is interested I am going to sell my extra set of Medisinyl mods. It’s the full set with Gonk house, casket and grass. I already have the 40th anniversary set and I purchased this one beforehand. PM me if interested.

Just got to Gappa Angry for the first time today. I think this game will be sticking around for awhile.

Quoted from ggg71:Where did you get the Boney Beast? It looks great!
Got the parts from Pinball life and painted them. They turned out pretty good.
Quoted from Pinkitten:Pinball Life has 6 colors (red, green, purple, yellow, orange, blue) plus clear, for $10 (4 protectors). Cointaker has purple or clear, same 4 pieces, $28.
the clear protector is $10, but the colored ones are $25. I probably will pick up the purple as well.

I am going to try and tackle the VUK issue as well. When repositioning the subway, what is the best way to increase the size of the hole on the subway without having to remove it? I tried loosening the red screws to see if there was any movement, but no luck.
Quoted from Doctor6:I simply moved mine just a bit and used the same wood screws to screw new holes into the playfield itself, and didnt modify the subway holes. I'm so glad I did, it's amazing how moving it a little can make a monumental difference.
I am just hesitant putting new holes in the playfield. I will have to see how close the holes will be.
Alrighty then. Looks like the subway adjustment gets another win for the VUK fix.
No more dribbling balls, and now they are nice and tight.

Quoted from zandman:I've searched but haven't found a solid answer for this issue on my EHOH BRK: After the first haunt starts, the front door of the house will not register my ball to "light the haunt" so I can never start another haunt unless I go in from the back door. It just goes up the ramp and out the left orbit. One time the ball went up the ramp and into the ball lock.
Thanks in advance!
I had a similar issue. Does the back diverter open and close? If not, there are two micro switches in the back that may not be registering. I had one that was getting stuck on the cabinet, and I had to bend the switch a bit.

Quoted from SKWilson:I think that should cover the LFS badge.
So cool they named one after Lyman.

I was getting smashed today. I need to go back and watch some of your videos.
