#1631 4 years ago
Quoted from Diospinball:

Really, how much does it cost.
I don't mind waiting. But, I'd like to get on the wait list or order it and wait... Never heard of that kit, and tired of never making that shot...
I'll try to level my game... But, I checked and its pretty dang level... But, Carpet... And it can shift.

Could someone post a picture of a game with the correct part.I am sure it’s here somewhere but I can’t find it,
Thanks

Quoted from lasermel:

The reason is the plunger is flat on top instead of cupped. Take a look at any other VUK and you'll see it is concave on top. The plunger in Elvira being flat has NO self centering feature and the ball caroms of at unknown angles and hits the side of the chute on the way out. I heated a ball with a torch and melted the cup into the end of the plunger, but it could probably be done with a ball shaped stone on a Dremel tool or other grinding method. My VUK is nearly 100% operational now where before, it was a frustrating mess.

This is the only thing that works for me,I tried everything and I am very good at tweeting a game but I was done until I saw this post,I removed the vuk ,removed the switch and put a propane flame on the ball While the ball is sitting on the vuk and then with leather gloves on hold the vuk and push the plunger onto the hot ball while holding the ball firmly so it does not move,It workEd for me and now the ball hits the targets every time.For me this is the only thing that worked!

I used a green piece of gel film like we use in inserts,I think it looks better than that dam gap.just needs to be cut straight to look correct

Speaking of mods,the tri color right lane arrow mod done by Robertstone is fantastic just kind a pain to source a tri color led board,easy of you can do basic soldiering,now I can see that arrow is lit when I need to shoot it!

Quoted from RobertWinter:

I've always wanted to do something like this as I can *never* see whether that right loop arrow is lit and always have to lean over to check.
Did you replace the dome with a clear one?
Where did you end up sourcing the RGB LED board and harness from?
Something like this?
https://www.pinballlife.com/rgb-pcb-led-replacement-board.html

Man I wish I looked there first,yes that is the board you need and a clear plastic dome ,I love the idea of a proper harness instead of soldering to the board,someone should make this as a kit,I think it would sell!

I like the drop ramp design and would have made the game even better and really can’t see it costing much more but that is probably why they cut it a few pennies more cost not flow!

Quoted from Mando:

Yeah I always wondered about that GAP, is it something they fixed in later builds or just luck of the draw?

All have a gap some bigger. Than others and nothing can be done other than putting a strip of colored film like we use for inserts above to cover the gap,looks better than the gap

Quoted from Utesichiban:

I wouldn't worry too much about it not being made again. I've had two reputable distributors tell me in the past week the latest they have heard from Stern on the next small Elvira run is still April timeframe. I think worst case, it gets pushed back to July/August but I would wager a large sum it will still be made.
My impression is that some are trying to paint that picture in the hopes it will drive up the asking price for their games. No need to overpay. Just be patient.

I see used premiums going for 9000 or less,new ones will be what 8500.00 with the price increase? And even if they do a small run with the games popularly wouldn’t used ones still go for around the same price!
