What are the available options and prices available for a standard(from Spooky). I've been looking on Spooky's site and this thread, but not having any luck

Thanks

I know, picking one up from someone, just wanted to know total available options.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for Spooky. I've noticed while Pinsiders can be a great crowd, they also can be so critical and harsh at times. To be on this forum and part of the discussion is incredible and speaks volumes for the company and its products. I don't know if any of you have put yourselves out there for public feedback on a business you run or product you've been involved in creating, but its really tough. I'm a big fan of the game, and I can't wait to get mine!

Posted this in another section on this forum and I thought I'd share it here.

Just got home from 12 hour road trip to pick up Rob Zombie Spookshow International #74. There was severe storms both there and back, white knuckle driving for sure! When I arrived, Charlie and crew were so hospitable, he took time out of his busy day to chat me up for bit and let me play some of the games on site. I was a bit zoned out from driving, but have to say I'm really impressed with how neat and tight everything seemed to be run. Also really impressed with Americas Most Haunted. This was the first time I've seen and played that game along with Zombie(sensory overload for sure). Call me old fashioned, but there's just something to be said about shaking the guys hand(and having him thank me) who was personally involved in the game I just bought. I feel good about my purchase and can't wait to get it set up this weekend. Good people over there!!

Really impressed with the quality level and detail, this pin really needs to be seen in person to fully appreciate it. This is one intense pin, it keeps calling back for one more game. It came with version 9 on it and I can't wait to get 10 uploaded. Btw, the sound systems rocks. The callouts in adult mode are great, its kind of nice to hear someone cussing at me for playing pinball besides my wife.

The game is fairly new to me, but I think I can help with some of the questions, maybe others can chime in on the rest or correct me if I'm off base on my understanding.

1. How much of a bonus do you get for getting 1,000 corpses in MB? ( I haven't completed yet)

2. Why do you get to play a mode again after completing it? ( I have the same question as it seemed a bit odd)

3. Is there a third MB that starts after hitting the center ramp a bunch? I'm not aware that there is, the center ramp is used in modes for things like jackpot collection in living dead girl and to spell Dragula among other things. It appears that each ramp shot when starting and not in any modes is collecting a corpse (based on the dmd screen) and I'm not sure if that counts towards corpse total in 1000 corpse mode.

4. How does the skill shot work? Light plunge to number one(left upper sling shot), then hopefully the slingshot 1 pushed the ball into 2 then onto 3.

5. Rules.

The way I understand it is there are 9 different modes, 6 are started only by using the left orbit. The 3 remaining modes are living dead girl, House of 1000 corpses and Murder ride which I think is more of a end of ball bonus than mode. I don't believe you can start the 3 modes when you are in one of the 6 or vise versa.

Nice! I'd sure like to see more pics of those on your game. Where did you get them?

Profit potential is just too great, under priced machine from the factory and many saw upside and never planned on keeping in the first place. I've got one in my collection and the quality is there without question. Adjustments will need to made, like every other NIB pin. The rules do need to be polished up though

Here is what I've had to do

1. move drop target over to the right
2. adjust wire-form ramp to upper playfield
3. replace fuse-

15 minutes of adjustments

I agree in that it's spot on price-wise for you get, however given the limited availability of 300 and theme I believe it was a bit under-priced by $300-$500.

Same for me, it's actually a really easy mode to finish and I'm not that good at playing.

If the ball is constantly going everywhere except the flipper, I think maybe some vuk adjustments are in order or wire form adjustments if that doesn't work. Noticed the left side of my upper play field wasn't seated properly from transport when I got my game home. Was as simple as pushing down on the upper left side. Just something to check

I took some video of the VUK drop and What mode on my machine. I was playing one handed, so sorry in advance about the motion sickness you may get. Thought this may help

What mode:

VUK drop:

I was having issues as well. At first, I thought I'd angle the drop target some more and resolve the issue or add a piece rubber on the wall to push the ball away from the drop. After some consideration and tinkering, putting the drop more of an angle was not good for game play and more balls went past. I ended up moving the drop target over to the right a bit and this seems to have corrected the issue for the most part. The ball has to knock the drop target down to get past it. A pinball can still get though and get hung up, but it's not as frequent now that the open space between drop target and stand up is less.

Added over 8 years ago: Update:

After playing a bunch with the drop moved over to the right I found that when it did get lodged, it was pretty bad. Ended up moving back to left, while it slips through more often, it gets stuck less. Thanks for the tip Spooky

Living Dead Girl Mode/Add a ball

At first, this mode is just adrenaline packed wildness with adding balls and hitting the ramp to collect jackpots. After some games, It seems this is the mode that always dominates that area hindering me from getting into house of 1000 corpses. Is there a way to make it a bit more difficult so it doesn't dominate the game so much? My pop bumpers usually end up getting me close to entering the mode and a couple missed shots to drop and there we are. Don't get me wrong, the mode in itself is fun and worth big points, but I find myself wanting more than just a ramp shot for jackpot and I'm hoping to see more depth there at some point. Perhaps I've missed something on the mode?

I'm not sure this has already been requested, but I'd sure like some tunes while entering in the high score. When you're coming off that adrenaline rush and award, music should fit the feeling

Yes, just updated to the latest says version 13(website calls it 12) on machine and blew one last night during house of 1000 corpses.

By the way, first time I've watched the game being played and really payed close attention to the DMD. Some really wild animations going on there. This is going to sound odd, but I think I saw some testicles being chopped off in the animation

Yes, they do and some might say even better as the keep the legs away from the cabinet all together. If you end up removing, you can still add some color by adding some colored washers under the leg bolts. They come in red

Yes, I experienced the same thing and had to shut game off to recover.

Yes, I just tried going into menu again and when I tried to exit it just gets stuck or doesn't sync. I think the game is trying to cycle about every 8 seconds(you can hear the speakers making a sound) , but not syncing . Waited about 30 seconds to see if it would process and self correct but nothing happened. I just turned off then on again and problem was resolved.

True story, I had this happen right when I got the game as well. Could not find the ball for the life of me, ended up putting another one in after looking everywhere and thought my pin was possessed at first, seriously creepy stuff. Located it later after getting some shotgunning from slingshot it happened to be stuck under. Hasn't happened again since

This bug is a known issue. It started for me after installing version 15 and does it 100% of the time, I was going to install the new update, but it sounds like has not been fixed yet.

No luck for me, MCU will not even try to sync up and I'm forced to turn off instead of backing out. Did you experience the problem described or did you update from an earlier version(14 or back)? I've updated this machine plenty of times so don't think it's operator error? I'm wondering if since I cannot back out of the menu after hitting update that this may be causing or keeping the issue around? Machine updates fine, but I have to turn off twice(once after hitting update and once after update is complete) and don't remember if thats normal.

Anyone else have this issue earlier than have it go away with update?

IMG_0947 (resized).JPG

That's happened to me a couple times. When it did, I noticed the rubber had come up out of the groove on one of the star posts. Seemed to happen on the far right or left post. If they are in the grooves and it's still happening, maybe turned sling power down just a bit

Running V18:

When you have balls locked, the lock light(1,2,3) only illuminates when drop target is in down position. Would be nice to have those lock lights illuminate accordingly no matter drop position. Also, when drop target is in down position and living dead girl mode is entered, the drop target pops back up once living dead girl mode is finished instead of leaving where it left off upon entering mode. Not sure if these things are by design or a bug?

Here's a video, yes this is correct(sorry for the poor camera work).

Also noticed what appears to be a bug. Once you get through 1000 corpses and you're working on the second round of knocking down drop targets. The 1st lock light on number one doesn't appear to flash in sequence until drop is hit.

No problem boss, its your sand box I'm just playing in it. Features it is going forward

Here's a video Spooky put together on the process

Personally, I'd crack her open and play a little bit. The game currently seems to be a $5500-$5800 game + or - open or not. So many people waiting on the sidelines to sell once the new code drops that it maybe some time before you see a value higher than that. If the code is good and you wait long enough, you may get out of it without too much of a loss. I couldn't stomach the loss right now either, so I put mine off in an extra bedroom for a showpiece. Looks damn nice and with new code my hope is she'll play that way as well. Lots of hope for V20, the first major update in some time. Can't wait.

Yeah, I agree. This one is no ones fault but mine, bought into the hype above M.S.R.P without playing and seeing. I usually figure a 10-12% + or - loss on NIB. Many times there has been almost no loss but this ones going to sting a bit. I'm still holding on for some new code, love the theme and the looks. Might as well get some plays and have some fun before I cash out down the line.

Okay after hearing that, $5500 is now sounding pretty good

Dropping code at 11:00 Pm on Friday. That's commitment!

Thank you!

Wow, the machine has really come to life with V20! Its tough to watch the flippers when so many things have been added. I'm definitely putting more time on this machine now. I've only done a few modes(Dragula, Super Beast, Dead City) and haven't noticed issue with the VUK, but will put more time on this evening.

This is a different machine with V20. Nice job!

You may want to try reloading everything. There were reports of this issue earlier in the thread and I believe they were caused by not copying files over completely.

So I have to admit, I had lost hope on this one and was considering selling for a while. Boy, would that have been a major mistake on my part! Those that sold are going to be full of regret for letting this one go. Back into the honeymoon phase for me. I've really been having trouble making that left and right orbit( I know play better), however I found changing the post sleeves seemed to make a big difference. Their not that much smaller but whatever I'm making shots all the time now so I think they've made the difference.

Thank you team Spooky for bringing this one to the next level with V20!

Bought them from Titan(they are silicone) for another game, and they only specify Stern Slim. However, I think these are the same size

The machine has top quality components out of the box, I think the best out there of any factory machine. The machine rattles like crazy if you turn the sub up which ends up drowning the rest out. There's anti rattle tape, but that just helps the glass. Here's what I did from left to right on amp.

This set up requires an external sub woofer. Also, for testing purposes hold down right flipper button to turn on radio(hold down again to change songs)

Sub-woofer:
Volume: Just barely on, close to 0
Crossover: nearly all the way left

Back Box Speakers:
Treble- All the way to the right
Bass- 1/4 turn + or - from full

Volume:
Personal preference here, but mines fairly loud

Agreed, Rob Zombie is now fairly intuitive and super fun to play with V20. I know what to shoot for! Shots light up, telling you where to go, ball lock lights up, DMD/callouts align with it all. So many new callouts and content! LDG sounds were changed up, ending of game music added and the list goes on and on.

The "Never Gonna Stop" song seems to play at much a higher volume than whatever the pin is set to. Maybe they will adjust in the future?

Thanks for the tip! Adjust my SFX to 80% and turned the music to about 70 and she rocks now!!

The first time loading V20, there did not seem to be any apparent issues. I reloaded due to a new patch for goober mode and now, on occasion, the game stops right in the middle and thinks that I've drained. I also noticed a little trouble with the DMD animations while this problem was present. I thought this maybe related to incorrect code loading on my part so I reloaded V20 last night and it did not correct. This only seems to happen once and a while and I have not figured out what event or sequence of is triggering. Anyone else seeing this? Probably time to hang it up for the holiday for now, it's been a Rob Zombie pinball playing bender for the last couple days. So tired from playing, but having fun with it for sure.

Btw, finally got to play Spooky Minute. Kind of a neat surprise there.

Yes, I've got similar weirdness going on. It's been tough to put my hands on it as it's very intermittent, but it all started at V20. Have you been able to duplicate this issue consistently? Someone suggested to isolate hardware vs software and I've yet to do that. Do you have V20 loaded?

Sounds like the same experience/issue. Mine didn't show up either until downloading V20(latest) with Goober patch after playing some games. Let me know if you isolate triggers for this event and I'll do the same. I'm leaning towards a software issue now that there are two experiencing this. I'm going to try to reload the code and try to duplicate in the next few days.

Yes, it sounds like it

The Spooky Minute goes off at 12:00 I believe, but you can change the clock to anytime you want making it go off sooner or later.

Okay, that's three now. Any luck determining what event caused?

Check underneath all four slings-then check area around VUK, then take random ball throw through drop target area. left then right orbit-

I've been running this and haven't seen the ball save issue come around since I installed. Going to put more games on this next week

Very cool topper!

I thought about buying a latex Rob Zombie mask then putting it on a Styrofoam manikin head and adding some black light up eyes and latex hands reaching over back box. I figured it would scare the crap out of me every time I ran downstairs and turned the lights on so I never went through with it.
