Thought I would post this here and se what people thought.
Swapped out the speaker grill covers on my Rob Zombie Spookshow International pinball tonight.
I bought these speaker grill covers which are for an AC/DC pinball. They are a different size speaker cover than what Spooky uses for their speaker covers so I had to modify them a little bit. I liked the Olivia Devil girl pinup look better than the spooky ghost and felt like this was a more befitting look(can always swap it back). In the end I think it give it a bit more of White Zombie/Rockabilly feel and seems to work well in my opinion. Had to cut them out and smooth them down with a dermel tool to make them work. Also turned the speaker grill sideways so the bars are vertical rather than horizontal so it gives it more of a jail bars kind of look. Im pretty happy with how it came out and think it looks pretty cool.

Haven't read through the entire thread (yet).
Anybody got a link or know where I can get decals for the targets?
Thanks

Thanks man.
Ordered it last night.

Put the Gas Station Pumps with LED Awning as well as the Living Dead Girl Mausoleum mod by Medisinyl Mods in today.
These things look sick and really fill out the game in great way.
Really stoked about these, thanks Greg.
The Mausoleum mod looks friggin fantastic and may be one of my all time favorite mods.

My wife and I saw him perform here last year and they were showing some teasers midway through the show.
Looking forward to seeing it.

Very cool of you to offer this.
I can vouch that he sent me one free when I ordered a couple other mods.
Wish I could give you another thumbs up.
Cheers

Agreed. It's a dark and creepy themed pin and I think the stock lighting serves it well.

Glad to see theres some activity in this thread.
My wife and I really love this machine, it's such a different game than anything we have in our collection.
It's fast as hell and unforgiving at times, but I think that bodes well with the theme.

It's funny, I know exactly what you mean.
For some reason this game gets dogged on by some people.

I friggin love it.
The art package is amazing.
The animation is great (especially considering its a DMD).
The sound quality is top notch.
The callouts are some of my favorites in pinball.
It plays fast as hell and theres definitely an element of chaos to it where it can be hard to gain control of the ball.

I really like it and it adds a variety in gameplay that is really quite different than anything else I own.
I suppose it helps that I'm a fan of Rob Zombies music and films and this incorporates both.

Where does one get those speaker covers?
Those look awesome.

Awesome, thanks.

It's a game that's not for everybody, thats for sure.
I think when it first came out there were people that bought it that didn't like it for whatever reason and there were some that bad mouthed it.
Now it has kind of a cult following and the machines seem to be gravitating into the hands of people that really appreciate them.
We got our NIB and have liked it from the beginning.
The machine is soo low production (300 units total) that it doesn't really matter though.
On a long enough time line most of these machines will make it into the hands of people that really like the game and appreciate it.

This is not unique to this game though.
Look at pretty much any modern game and you will see people selling them after owning them for a short period of time.
Not all games are for everybody.

My wife and I have seen him several times and have always had a blast at his shows.

We watched an interview with Rob once where the person interviewing him asked: "what makes a good rock and roll show?".

Robs response was: Pyrotechnics, scantily clad women, and Giant monsters.

I think he really embraces the visuals of stage performance that I found magical with big rock bands when I was a kid.
I love his shows and think they are great.

I'm in.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to meet Sid a few times at Comic Con and Horror conventions back when we lived in Southern California.

Really a nice man who seemed genuinely excited and interested in meeting and interacting with fans of his work.
I’m on the road for work at the moment, but when I get home I’ll have my wife dig up some of the photos we’ve taken with him.
I’ll never forget how excited my wife was to walk up to his booth at Comic Con for the first time. This must have been over 10 years ago because we didn’t have kids yet. Sid was really cool and signed a bunch of stuff for us and we hung out for a few minutes chatting. When we were about to part ways my wife asked in a very coy voice if she could get a video with him sayin “fried chicken”. Sid put his arm around my wife with a Captain Spaulding smile and belted out “frrriiied chicken” and then put his hands under his armpits and flapped his arms.
My wife got all giddy like a school girl. The entire show we were talking about what a cool and gracious guy he was. It was the highlight of that show for us.
Met him a few other times at conventions and he was always very cool and gracious.
Travel well brother, you will be missed.

Awesome.

Really friggin awesome.
Post some more pics.

Thought I would share these.
Sid signed the pictures for my wife at Scare LA back when we lived in California.
The figure he signed at San Diego Comic Con.
Must have been 10+ years ago because it was before we had kids.
I really need to get this stuff framed.

Sounds like an awful lot of stuff to go wrong all at once.
Was the machine on route and not maintained or something like that?

The robot not moving at all is probably a worn out servo, which probably needs replaced.
This and Captain Spaulding (the clown) both use servos to turn them.
It's basically the same kind of servo that used in the RC hobby for RC cars and airplanes.
The robot one probably needs replaced as it get the most use and since the gears are plastic they can wear out.
Most hobby shops and RC hobby websites sell them, but if you want something more robust go with one with metal gears.

Captain Spaulding (clown) is only active in certain modes, so he might not be broken.
Does he move back and forth at game start up?
Its possible something back there has come loose or is misaligned, which also might be why the ball is not falling through the hole.
I.E. that might actually be one problem, not two.

I would check and see if you have a bent or broken switch in the ball though.
Maybe its just not registering correctly when the balls are feeding in and out?

Like Dave mentioned I would reach out to Spooky and see if they can help you with some of the stuff like the light problem.
They are pretty amazing when it comes to helping people out with tech stuff.

Oh, yeah.
Congratulations on the new pick up.
It's a pretty awesome game.

Awesome, my wife and I have seen him several times as well.
He really puts on a rockin show and is among our favorite performers to go see.

Sounds like you're making some great progress.
As far as mods I would reach out to Greg at Medisinyl Mods.
He makes some really killer stuff that fill out the play field nicely and looks bitchin.

If you're into Robs films, then you will love Gregs mods as they tie right in and have a lot of though put into them as far as style and integration.

I think that pretty sound advice.

Congrats.
I’ve still never done it.

The wife was playing today and busted the plastic piece on top of the pop bumper. Anyone know where to order the correct replacement?
Or should I reach out to Spooky and see if they have any in stock.
Thanks.

Yeah, they have been really awesome.
I was just wondering if it’s unique to this game (which I think it might be). Or if it’s a part you can just order from a parts distributor.
I’ll probably reach out to Luke or Charlie and see if I can buy a couple.
I think it would be good to have a spare.

Yeah, it’s a high impact part that takes a beating (to be expected).
I’ve had my RZ since NIB and have had very few problems with it.

Great game and the playfield still looks amazing.

I guess on good thing about staying at home is I have plenary of time to go through boxes from previous moves etc.
Finding all kinds of stuff I had forgotten about.

Found my Captain Spaulding belt buckle, so gonna start rockin this thing.

I’m up in Cave Creek.
You’re welcome to come play mine.

Hit me up with a PM.

You’re a good man.

Probably same type of people that liked picking on fat kids in school.
Some people just can’t let stuff go and its like a running joke for them.

I’ve had mine since new in box and quite happy with it.
People just like to dog on it and I doubt many of them have spent a lot of time playing it, understand the rules or have even progressed very far in the game.

Congratulations.
How many of these are actually in Australia?
Can’t be too many down there I would think.

I totally agree on the art style, I think it looks awesome.
Glad to hear this one found a good home.

In regards to the language setting.
There is a timer setting in the setting that functions sort of like an alarm clock.
You can set it to be in family mode during certain hours and go into adult mode after a certain time.
We had ours set to go into adult mode at 10:00 after the kids were in bed.

Also the Murder Ride arch/sign, but yeah the machine he picked up is pretty decked out and loaded.

I would tend to agree with ranking them in order of most current first.
Games keep getting better as Spooky grows as a company.
Only machine I haven’t played is Jetsons, which seems to be pretty rare. Not sure how many of those got made, but I don’t think it’s a lot.

Having a couple cocktails tonight and turned on RZ and ACNC.
Anymore these are some of my favorite game to play. Just gritty and hard as balls, yet rewarding as hell.
