Quoted from smokinhos:Ok.. so 2k clearcoat is the favorite to protect the finish? What to protect this thing as soon as we open it. Thanks!
I just used it last week, as it was starting to wear already. Id just set it up, turn it on a play a game to make sure all seems good initially, and then do the clearcoat. I probably had less that 20 games when i noticed it darkening.armor came off easy and didnt have any fear of scratching the butter cab(unless a screw slipped while reinstalling armor) happy with the results.

Can you pick it up locally or gave to order. Thanks!

I believe you can get locally. I bought off Amazon. Get a respirator too.
Quoted from MattElder:We spend many thousands of dollars on a NIB game and then have to source a $5 board elsewhere. Just put the damn thing in every model and charge a few more bucks.
Do you see the rediculousness of your statement? Lol .. we pinball geeks are all a little crazy 
How is the knife attached in the shooter lane? I just bought one from Trick or treat studios. Would anyone be willing to take a photo of the back side of their knife so I can see what type of bracket they used? Thanks
The standards have no decals at all on any of the targets? Seems odd

They seem to have drilled some form of L brackets into thee knives to screw them onto the field
I can get the super jackpot during house multiball pretty much every game, but I haven’t been able to get the others. How do you light the super jackpot in hedge?
L ramp spots hedge jackpot in random hedge scoop (visible by the lit knife insert and exposed MM). Get all three hedge jackpots and the super lights in the center hedge. L Ramp/ Hedge wash rinse repeat.

Quoted from John_C:[quoted image]
The rivets that hold the knife to the bracket are loose on mine. It wobbles as the ball passes underneath. I can take the glass off and reposition it so it doesn't hit and it works for awhile until vibrations move it again. I might try some superglue under the bracket and between the knife and see if that helps.

I just played my game and noticed a loud buzz when I hold the flippers. I thought it was coming for the speakers but after opening the coin door, the buzz was intense and seems be coming from under the flippers.
If I hold the button when the game is not started yet nothing, but as soon as the flipper goes up, loud buzz. Any idea what should I look for?

If you hit two L ramps in a row, does it just move where the first jackpot is, or does it light two?
I believe it lights two but they are hurry ups. You can also light all three simultaneously at the sanitarium target through shot.

That’s just you’re coils buzzing, completely normal.

My guess would be due to the pulse width modulation of the coils.
Quoted from DropGems:Somebody sell me a minty perfect working CE or NiB one.
You wont be dissappointed. Get it before it gets the recognition it deserves.
#111 here, only 1 small issue, I had a broken wire that took out a switch matrix. Spooky quickly helped me figure out where, a quick hit with the iron and all was great again. Keep in mind this was after 9 months of play.
My house loves this machine. I don’t see it going anywhere.
Quoted from Lopa:That’s just you’re coils buzzing, completely normal.
Really? At the point that it take over the game sounds and music? 
I saw that it could be due to some slack between coil and coil stop. I checked and mines are moving a lot, I'll try to tighten them tomorrow.

PinballSTAR emailed me two days ago they have a CE ready to ship.
Quoted from dnapac:#12…rarely had a problem. Those without problems, just play. No reason to be on the boards. Those with problems…Spooky’s service is second to none. That said, there is always the outlier…just contact Spooky.
Are book clubs only for people who have a problem with the book?

Read up on safety with spray max
I wish spooky incorporated a setting to not stack modes. Multiple modes means multiple shots flashing and I'm unsure what to shoot. My wife was reading the tiny instructions on the LCD to me as I was in multi ball, cause there's no way to look up when you are trying to hit the balcony shot while keeping the main playfield balls in play.
Quoted from Beechwood:I wish spooky incorporated a setting to not stack modes. Multiple modes means multiple shots flashing and I'm unsure what to shoot.
I find that the best approach to this is to identify which modes mate best with each individual Multi-Ball and try to stack accordingly.

You want to be able to stack modes, it really helps scoring with some of the modes if you can combine them.
Quoted from PanzerKraken:You want to be able to stack modes, it really helps scoring with some of the modes if you can combine them.
I agree stacking is fine, but maybe the light show could not only happen when your able to look at the playfield. Seems like everytime I start a mode or waiting for the lifters, I take a quick look to see where I want to shoot but the lights are just flashing randomly. Sometimes even when a ball drains I notice my ball save is lit, but most of the time it's just random playfield lights dancing around. Just seems to need a little more direct lighting at certain times. Maybe it's just me or maybe they have this all nailed out in the next code.
Tough to get super on Sanatorium with just the 2 ball until you do
Now if I could just play the hedge multiball efficiently I could probably put it all together
Really,really enjoying this game
I don’t want to be that guy but this game is one of the most entertaining I’ve ever played for ME
I love it it’s probably not for everyone cause of theme and lay out but this game is amazing IMO

I wanted to emphasize this post - I also agree the lights can get super confusing when modes are running. Especially when multiple things are flashing, it can be difficult to figure out where you’re supposed to shoot. I’m usually trying to read my next shot off the screen, which ends up with a drain a lot of the time. Callouts help, but there aren’t callouts for every single shot.
I don’t have a suggestion for how to address this yet, and I’m sure the next code update is pretty close to being locked anyway, but I’ll keep thinking about what to suggest. The ambiance is so good on this game, you don’t want to lose that either

They could possibly try to add some more audio call outs for some mode guidance, especially during stacked modes. "shoot the ___" etc.
Okay so I just had the game freeze on me. Really frustrating. I had the first 6 modes completed and was finishing on the 7th mode, made the hurry up shot and the game froze. Had to reboot the game. Really frustrating because I was on ball 2 with 70mil+ points. I had competed all house 3 modes, 2 sanatorium modes, jack-o-lantern multiball. This was my best game yet. Really hope this isn't a constant bug.
Hi everyone! My wife and I are ready to start making our Halloween Clothesline Mod again! It'll keep us busy until the new code update drops right? Please fire me off a PM if you're interested. Here are a few pics of the mod and as always thanks again for all of the support!

See if you can repeat it with the glass off
I just figured out my issue. I could not control the ball and each game was about 2 min long. I put a set of what I think are super bands on the flippers and what a difference! I completed 4 modes, house and hedge mb in my first game and doubled my GC score. The PL rubbers had the ball bouncing off the flippers and right down the middle.

That sucks if I had that much done mid game I would be on cloud 9
I fixed my light issue today, was out of town for the last week, so was finally able to put in some time today to hash that out. Long story short, I disconnected at least 50% of the light boards until they all started working again. Could be a loose connection, bad harness, but I can’t narrow it down to just one. Anyway, that’s solved. On to more important things, like where would I put this cool thing I just received in the mail?

My original plate is located on the right side of speaker grill above the speaker, if that matters to ya. Congrats!

Wait… I thought BSEs weren’t going to get numbered plaques after all? I guess they are, that’s great
Question: I enabled in the settings for Attract Mode Music: ON and Attract Mode Sounds: ON and I thought that while it sits idle I'd hear some of each coming from the pin but so far nothing.
Anyone else try these settings?

I don’t think it’s actually implemented yet, even though the setting is there
Quoted from Pinash:That bse plaque is better than the ce’s!
Especially for those of us with CE's who never got a plaque.

Yup, only when you hit a flipper button otherwise silent
