Quoted from big-c66:I haven’t heard about canceling the premium orders just that they pushed them to December 2022 if they are going to cancel I wish they would let are distributors know cause I’ll go ahead n buy Deadpool premium in June 2022
There has been many rumors of US domestic cancellations….thus far….only delays…Stern has not canceled Elviras yet for US folks
Quoted from solid_snake:Same with mine. The callouts says something like "you know you can use the front door, right?" every time I hit the ramp to the house. Not sure if it's normal or not.
Maybe check the wiring behind the house-there are roughly 4 opto wiring connections with labels, they may have plugged them in wrong at Stern
Quoted from Viggin900:Would you mind telling us where you got yhe trees and a photo of how they are mounted? I would like to do the same.
Hiya,
Pic attached for the trees purchased. I can’t take credit for this-i searched trees in topic and got the idea from an earlier pinsider. I mounted them using a double-side foam tape i had on hand, you don’t need anything too strong. The tree base is concaved so double or triple up the tape in the middle.

Quoted from rai:I’m getting worried about all the potential mis-alignment issues etc.
I’m not a pinball repair man. I can do simple things had to fix my switch gaps on Fathom the other day.
is there anything too involved that a bad tech like me would not be able to fix?
My crane on bm66 is still not aligned well because I don’t know how to do it.
Alignment issues:
I received my EHoH last Monday-
The shooter rod was 1/4” out of alignment and the left orbit fed to the sling…Both of these were easy corrections.
Remove the two red hex head screws from your inner shooter housing plate and loosen the three phillips pan head screws. This will allow the assembly to float around to be secured where it is properly aligned (don’t forget up and down).
The left orbit can be adjusted by removing 3 or 4 screws to set the section of left ramp return (before the trunk) the side, then remove the small plastic…under that is the last section of ball guide that is conveniently constructed as a “C” cut or channel. Loosen the screw, pull out the ballguide 1/4” and then re-secure. This will correct the issue.
Additionally-my pin only came with the left playfield alignment tab installed, so I installed one on the right side before adjusting the shooter rod. They are called “switch plate” left and right from pinball life
52913B90-3B05-48D9-BE2E-AEDC463FBBF1 (resized).pngFor ‘23 premium run and BRK:
Symptom-house lock (rear panel subway coil) fires non-stop, then shows “operator alert-house lockup”
Turn off game
Remove (2) 1/4” hex screws for downpost coil
Lay coil on goodie bag (lose $1k)
Loosen opto bracket around black subway
Turn on game
Menu/diagnostics/switch test
Turn bracket until opto board lights red
Secure
Turn off game
Reinstall coil to allow no contact with bracket
Test results
The ‘23 premium and BRK have a different bracket here and a combination of a long-range transmitter and standard reciever
If your test is unsuccessful, turn off game, remove the 3-wire receiver and place a (cut to size) piece if 3M black tape under the 3-wire reciever, around the 90-degree bend on the revised bracket (the solder pads or wires may be shorting the 5V for node 9), test again.
Now your game should not continuously fire the house lock (rear subway) coil and work well.
Photos show new-style bracket with poor coil alignment and combination long-range transmitter/standard receiver
