Quoted from jfh:What trees are you using?
Asking myself the same question...

I own an EATPM and a SS a long time and I absolutely love them. I ordered this one (premium) and I am still waiting to get it here in Belgium, however the LE is already here in Belgium. I love reading all the posts and looking at the pictures and the videos. I also envying you guys who already have it at home... Code will be there when it's time to be there. Just at the right time ...
Quoted from steigerpijp:That sucks big time.. I had the same with my black knight. I guess we both bought from Carl Jabobs right? Turns out it the cpu thinks it’s operating under the wrong voltage and locks itself thinking its a grey import.
Great that stern implements a lock if they feel it’s needed , but I think it only frustrates buyers and distributors these days ..all other manufacturers run worldwide
My game cpu was replaced free of charge by Carl/Seeben but it took a few weeks .
Yep from Carl of course. I thought it would be a lock to avoid the black market guys... But it is legally imported, so... Bummer. Contacted Carl and said he had the same on a Black Knight ... It will be solved.
Quoted from zwartepanter:Anybody can tell me how the dipswitches are on the cpu? I have one that is in the other position... Should they all be in the same position?
Ok, dipswitch 2 should be on... (Thanks Tom) So a new cpu needed. Normally it arrives tomorrow so I can finally play her... . No washer seen next to the ramp...
. Look what it says under the balls... Quoted from PiperPinball:Add some trees and other Custom made mods today.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
I like most of these mods. Where did you get them?
Maybe this has already happend to somebody but I cannot find it here. When you shoot the lock 1 and 2, the ball is hold for a moment by a popper or until you get lock 2. Suddenly this isn't working anymore... So no more multibalk or whatever there. I checked it and the plastic white 'popper' was stuck. So I moved it a bit and it was back ok and sliding in the coil. But now it will be stuck again I think. Weird because it is all new?
Quoted from turbo2nr:reboot machine with all balls in trough and see what happens
This is for the lock on the left side of house?
The ramp also didn't lower, so we reboot. All ok with the ramp, but the popper will be something mechanic...
Quoted from pinballaddicted:If you know how to put the machine in test mode:
If your machine has a connected coin door switch, when the coin door is open, make sure you pull the switch out.
There are opto switches that count the balls caught in the garage. Put the machine in to test mode and check with a ball they work properly first. Still in test, then test to see if your can manually fire your coil. If the optos work and the coil fires in test, play the game. If the game still does not fire the coil, you will need to reset the software. If the game is firing the coil and it does not eject the ball, make sure it is aligned properly and that all the screws holding the coil in place are still tight.
If the coil does not fire in test mode, check for a broken wire that powers the coil. Make sure all cat 5 cables are seated properly in the CPU and node board.
Call or email Stern.
Good luck!
Thanks but enough experience . It's just that popper...
Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:All new out of the box pins need some kind of tweaking to play 100%. I think most of the early production / assembly issues have been worked out. You are just looking at “normal” problems / fixes now (just like any other new pin purchase).
I don't agree. When I bought my NIB Black Spiderman, Batman, Ironman... there we're absolutely no problems or fixes to do.
Quoted from jfh:Appreciate the effort but think the “wink” misses badly. It looks like she was punched or is missing an eye. Or maybe it’s upside down.
Too bad because otherwise very nice.
Same opinion here. But good effort!
Quoted from Diospinball:Yes, I know how winking works.
Also... We used one of those images already.
Listen. No offense to anyone. And I know I'll be down voted. But, everyone is a critic.
And while I'm not a illustrator. I do dabble. She is an artist and has drawn for more hours than most people here.
That's her pinball.
So all I will say is. Its easy to criticize harder to create.
As I said before. I'll go back to the drawing board.
But, Robert... You mean well. But, your post is belittling.
Robert means well. Not belittling at all. The eye is drawn wrong, point final. All this reactions are meant well! 
Quoted from Chalkey:Show some class, losers.
Anybody come up with a good fix for a stucky ball in the "star trek" spot on the lower right pop bumper? I set the pop to as hair trigger as possible but still get a stucky sometimes.
Same here. A little nudge and problem solved .. maybe the pin isn't levelled out perfect?

Quoted from Wildbill327:I want to get my Elvira set up properly so I have a few questions....When wild woman multiball starts should all the balls roll out of the garage lock together or one by one? What pitch is best for this table? Thanks and I appreciate any help.
I have an issue here. Doesn't pop up properly so the balls come all together. Can't start multiball anymore, so have to look again at the popper here.
Quoted from SKWilson:I'm gonna go live here in a few minutes. Come join me in chat!

achieved... Nice score on 4 balls: 265M.Quoted from PunishersLEMC:Agreed as I keep most current EHOH and JP on same USB stick as those machines are next to each other.. Never and issue and actually updated both last night [quoted image]
Those titties look rimpled 
...
Quoted from pascal-pinball:it stops the wheel
And it launches the ball...
Quoted from javagrind888:I wonder if it would be too much to do the Bony Beast mod and the Medisinyl crypt with the gargoyle too.
I was thinking the same. I think it would be too much.
I just played a game. Reached Gappa Angry with the second ball, until 6th stage I just have to play the ball in the house but the ramp is half way up stuck. Shoot the ball but 
. So I lost the ball after that and get the 5 ball multiball. Shooting jackpots but the one in the house is saying 'testing'... And again and again and so on... Strange. Notices that the trunk kicker is autofiring alot since they update? Another strange thing is that she wouldn't recognize the ball after playing Gappa, she really was fucked up... giving two balls... 
. So a few bugs I believe... But what a game, almost 500M.

Just played a game with new software and WoW, what a great job you guys are doing. Got Gappa but drained... Played so many other modes, multiballs and features I got nearly 700M. But still a few issues I saw. She was also confused a few times and I got two balls, one ball drained, ball was over . I think it might be the trunk. It keeps firing and now says malfunction. So got to check that first.
Quoted from CurtH:Having an issue with my new game. I unboxed it this afternoon and updated the software before playing any games. I set the game for free play and when I pushed start to play the first game, I get a “locating pinballs” message which stays on for a minute or so and then the game goes back to attract mode. I have all 6 balls loaded in the trough and solenoids are firing trying to shake loose balls but that’s it.
Any ideas anyone? I lifted the playfield and checked all the connectors and all seem to be OK.
Thanks for any help...
Curt
Unplugging the connector in the trough and putting it back 'could' do the trick.
Still some bugs. I played one game, around 600M, House party 310M 
... I played 10 games now, she's here from December. I want to remember or take pictures when she's doing naugthy stuff but I only play one game and it's always a blast!
Quoted from Indusguys:10 games since December? Holy shit I play 10 games a day it seems.
I have 25 machines, 4 kids and I don't play often...
Quoted from Indusguys:10 games since December? Holy shit I play 10 games a day it seems.
Just played another game, again Gappa achieved, lost ball one. Still having the problem with the coffin kicking alot of times... Operator alert, so I guess I have to look in the coffin or any of you guys had this problem?
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Still loving this game! it’s great that there are so many choices at the start, cuts down on the wood chopping.
Anybody have suggestions for strategies yet? The scoring seems a bit unbalanced, especially for the Drive me Crazy and Unhappy Hour Modes. Is there a multiplier for those somehow? (Other than double trouble I guess)
What I’ve been doing is going for Wild Women multiball right out of the gate - i usually gets 2x or 4x playfield multiplier and suddenly the score is in the 80million range without even starting a mode
My other strategy was initially to try to beat 2 Head family members and light the EB so I can make it to house party - but it’s a bit risky - I usually drain before I beat the 2nd one.
How do you get the 2x or 4x multiplier on?
I play one game a week and bam... Always 200-600M, I don't know why but the game is a bit easy, like the other Elvira's. But I love it, I love when they rules aren't too difficult and clear to one's mind. I set the game on 4 balls and one extra ball.
Quoted from Indusguys:4 balls and you're calling the game easy...
Yep but only one extra ball not more. I mean the rules are pretty obvious and you can easily make it to houseparty. Big points there.

Quoted from jfh:Question for anyone with an EHOH as their only Elvira game - has this game made you consider getting an EATPM and/or a Scared Still, despite the generational differences in game play?
Similar question if you already have one of the other Elvira titles - does EHOH make you want to complete the trilogy?
I owned EATPM and SS and wasn’t 100% sure I was going to like EHOH, but now can’t imagine breaking up the set and really enjoy the references in EHOH to the earlier games and how well the three complement each other.[quoted image]
I own a SS and EATPM for a very long time. So when I heard there was coming a new Elvira pin, I didn't hesitate to buy one.

Quoted from steigerpijp:Anyone else getting back door skill shots awarded during multiball and cellar shots after the last code update ?
Yep.
Quoted from jfh:No.
I would love to see the topper add some fun to the game (like Munsters but without all the ridiculous QC issues) but not have some lame topper only DLC content/mode like JP2 used to “justify” the insane price tag.
I’m not really a big fan of the new “add a topper after the fact” concept. If there is a topper it should be integral to the game. Like Addams Family. Whirlwind. Batman t6 LE/SLE. Not this “and, oh by the way, if you don’t purchase this part we should have included when we shipped the game, your pinball machine is incomplete” model Stern is trying to promote.

Which stream? Avengers?

Quoted from Pbpins:Enable competition mode then you will see the menu where you can select the DJ Mixer!
But when you have to put competition mode on, doesn't that change the way you get modes, points etc...?
Quoted from javagrind888:The premium speakers are fine then. Would still get the sub. It's super cheap and adds so much like feeling the lightning strikes in the game.
Where do you get the sub? Any preference?

Quoted from Rob_G:Has anyone had fast left orbit shots end up in the back door? I'm thinking the ball is hitting a plastic or something and deflecting into the saucer.
Rob
Yes same happening to me. I thought it was ment like this? But there is no diverter?

Quoted from javagrind888:Took off the back plastic, removed the screws I can see on the top of the ramp and the back board, but I can't figure out what's holding the front of it. The metal part of the ramp.
Think there are 2 little bolts on the side.

Quoted from docquest:These seem to be pretty rare in my area. I have 4 Targets within 1/2 hour of me and only one store had any. l saw a lot of the similar TMNT gift boxes so maybe there will be more Elviras out there over time.
The UPC code for it is 634482560693, the Target DPCI number is 323-07-8943. I still don't see these show up on the Target website when searching with those numbers.
They also seem to be putting these is a different area than the usual Neca,Funko, etc pop culture collectibles area. If you go to one of the price checker terminal in your local Target and search on "neca" you should see a pic of the Turtles box in the results that will list the aisle number to find it. If your store has it, it would probably be in that same aisle.
Here is an unboxing video that shows what's inside the box so can decide it its worth $50 or not.
The box is exclusively for the US? Oh I really like to have one but not going to happen I'm afraid...

Quoted from javagrind888:Both of those are really easy (or they were for me). Just loosen the screw under the plastic, pull the guide out all the way, then tighten it. For the scoop I just had to bend it down a bit with some heavy duty plyers.
So why can't they do it in the factory? They should know about this in the meantime.
Quoted from JKKeogh:Anyone know how to adjust the pop up gargoyles? The ones on the lower right hit the glass when they pop up. I wrapped some rubber bands around the posts underneath and that seems to be working but wonder if there is a better solution.
Same as SS. They have to touch the glass

Quoted from PanzerKraken:Some things they did tweak and clearly fix over time, most of the issues folks have are personal preference since even the shown off units Stern played had some the issues folks try to change such as the left orbit return.
Never tweeked the left orbit. So it goes slightly to the left slingshot, so? Maybe it was designed by 'the master'.
Quoted from Jkush18:30 ribs for 60 euro is a good price. I think I paid almost $5 each for my ribs and I bought out the remaining stock.
€71,40 for 30 decorated ribs. Plus shipping. Nice price though.

Quoted from Geeterman1:Never saw this mod before but such a great idea! I think I’ll order one as I can never see when that orbit is lit.
