One of the best to buy/trade from. Hope he doesn’t regret this sale when he plays Deadpool!

#6 5 years ago
Quoted from Yelobird:

Just played Deadpool tonight again, he will not regret this sale...

Haha, just busting balls. Good luck Hank!

Quoted from hank527:

All good. Appreciate the compliments. Since Alice Cooper is delayed I have a spot where I do not need to move a game just yet, but it will happen soon. I'm still selling as I like Houdini, but don't love it. I guess I'm not that good to make the tight shots.

It takes some tweaking to get really right. The game is SUPER sensitive to being level, and you have to adjust the targets to give you the optimum clearance. The game is a bit rough around the edges still, but either way you’ll like Deadpool for sure! Hope you get your ACNC eventually!

Anyway team, buy with confidence, this is the optimum situation, easy rollout of the game, great guy, easy to find. BWC

Spend-a-little-time-adjusting-the-game-and-it-will-Knock-you-out bump!

Raise the left side a hair (1-2 turns each leg),
raise the left flipper coil power by 1,
drop the flippers towards the apron about 1/8”,
lower the scoop coil power by 1 or 2,
lower the auto fire power by 1,
and you’re in business

Yes it’s a dumb number of things you have to do to a NIB game but once you’ve got it dialed in, it’s a fun, HARD game. Default settings are way way too hard too

Quoted from hank527:

If it doesn't sell this weekend, I may just keep it and sell something else.

Sell me your DW!

#27 5 years ago
Quoted from hank527:

That's a 5k game though. It's super nice. Best one I've ever seen. I traded my original DW for this one that's almost perfect and added a color dmd.

Nice! When did you trade it out? I know I played one of yours, it was in good condition

#29 5 years ago
Quoted from hank527:

I think 6 months ago. The newer one is near mint. Has the switch that requires the glass to be on.

That’s original to the game, before they came up with the coin door interlock. Good for you! 5k is too much for me, but I’ll keep looking

Quoted from Yelobird:

No interest in the Houdini but now I’m very intrigued by the Dr Who!! Love that game.

dude, back off, I've been looking for another one for months!!

#37 5 years ago

Doctor Who bump! just installed my upgraded power supply in Houdini and got the flippers dialed in. This game is smokin' now!

#39 5 years ago

Just tested the upgraded Houdini power supply. absolutely PERFECT. Game needs some very fine tweaking out of the box, but it is a keeper for sure. power supply eliminates all low power issues with catapult, coils, magnets, etc.

#42 5 years ago
Quoted from Yelobird:

Great Mod. Wish mine came with that I might have kept it?

Part of the deal with a new manufacturer

#45 5 years ago
Quoted from Pinphila:

The power mod comes with $129 credit. Not all 500 plus customers have had issues either and need the mods so “lining up” is a bit much. It’s a great game and I think their products will only get better.

$150 credit. I think that was a phenomenal response -on top of - the awesome support they already provide. I wonder if Josh K and Barry are sick of Houdini, but I sure as hell appreciate their continued hard work

#48 5 years ago
Quoted from Yelobird:

Sincere apology to the OP. When replying from my cell I didn’t realize this was a FS thread. Completely dink thing to do sorry. With the new power supply and this great price buyer is going to have a fun game at a great price.

That’s very cool of you. Same for
Me, no need to muddy the sale waters.

Free bump!

Quoted from Ockeyhead:

We went to the York Show this weekend & purchased a Houdini. I had the funds for any machine on the floor, so my wife & I took the plunge & opted for Houdini. Before making the decision I did a lot of research/reading here on Pinside & this is a title that seems to have either a love it or hate it opinion. But after playing this machine for virtually all weekend, I can absolutely state that we made the right decision. Houdini has everything that defines an A+ title ~ playfield layout, deep rule set, incredible theme, beautiful art, fantastic lightshow, alluring callouts, jaw dropping catapult, & very unique in every category. AP designed & produced a masterpiece that is an original & fresh depiction that separates itself from the rest of the pinball manufactures.
I'd wish you well in your pursuit of the perfect machine, but you really need not to look no further. For $63 & all of the modifications this is a steal of a deal! Someone buy this machine!

It kicks ass! I think some people are scared off by the shots. It's the only explanation. Those people need to try harder.

Quoted from billsfanmd:

Still tempted to get this. Have a nice wh20 if anyone up for local 3 way trade. About 4800 value towards houdini. Nice cab, shopped, leds, some new ramps, mods, boulder shooter rod, lost mountain.
Otherwise bump for a beautiful pin.

This game is 1000 times better than WH20

#63 5 years ago
Quoted from HighVoltage:

Why not a million times? LOL...

Ok a million! Don’t get me wrong, WH20 is cool but Houdini is so much deeper!

#66 5 years ago
Quoted from HighVoltage:

You know what isn't cool? Laying down some lame hyperbole on someone who makes a sincere offer of an A-list title...

What am I missing here? Trying to give Hank some bumps
