I'm in on the standard. When I saw the LE backglass I wasn't sure if I really liked it better than the standard or if it just looked "better" to me because it was the one I wasn't getting, so I showed both to my wife and she likes the standard more so I'm happy with that!
Quoted from WaddleJrJr:At least keep the option open for no zero point ball save like AMH had. I don't like the whole plunging and dropping all day to get a safe trap off the plunge. I do it myself on games often since well, with many games you'd be dumb not to, but it sure gets boring and I'd rather that behavior be treated more like draining (which is what it is) rather than being infinite free time.
Personally I feel like this is just a standard for modern pins. Even games without a ball save like taf, give you your ball back if no switch is registered

Quoted from Mitch:Do wms or stern mirror blades fit a spooky game?
Curious to know this as well.
Quoted from Rock914:My RZ should be delivered to Kruzman's today! Wish I had room for it at my place but at least it's in good hands.
You doing an undercab led kit for it? I'm getting mine in a month or two and would love to buy one.
Quoted from volkdrive:Williams or Stern style side mirror blades fit RZ? Does anyone know?
They have some for AMH. https://pinballsidemirrors.com/product/special-regular-mirrors/
Is the RZ cabinet size identical to AMH?
Quoted from herg:Oh, I almost forgot, here's a link to the STL file:
http://ledocd.com/RZ_VUK_Guide.zip
Not showing as an stl file for me.
Quoted from Medisinyl:Just noting that the file worked for me and the print came out great. Still need to install it though.
Hmm, I'll have to try again tomorrow.
Quoted from Mitch:Does anybody know if wpc or stern mirror blades fit on rz? I can modify them abit if needed.
The AMH one's work

I ordered some during black friday and will install when I get my game in a couple of weeks
Quoted from Mitch:The amh ones have a cut out on both sides for the side mounted leds dont want that on RZ.
Darn, wish I would've known about that. Oh well, we'll see how the look.
Got my game and have been playing non stop for the past few days and I'm loving it. The phrase that keeps popping into my head is "controlled chaos"
Some thoughts on improvements, many of which others have mentioned:
-Clicking both flippers should show the scores from the previous game. I know you can do this by clicking the right flipper on the main screen but I feel like it's been industry standard now for 20 years that both flippers gives you last score. Also clicking on the right flipper moves things forward but clicking on the left flipper doesn't take you one screen back as has also been standard.
-Have an option in the menu for "Disable tilt on coin door open" and an option for "Coin door ball saver", these are both necessary if using the game in a tournament and a ball is stuck.
-When a mode is completed it would be nice to see how much was earned in that mode, especially true for Dragula video mode. Right now I kill a bunch of things but have no idea how I did at the end.
-Speaking of showing scores. Need to see scores more often for shots, especially for jackpots. Right now I hear the call out for jackpot but have no idea how much I scored.
-Would like to see more movement from the robot. Seems a bit under utilized right now.
-Would like to see some sort of running total for House of 1000. Maybe even some cool animation of corpses piling up
Overall, I'm super happy I got in on this and can't wait to get deeper into the game.
Quoted from tmontana:-Would like to see some sort of running total for House of 1000. Maybe even some cool animation of corpses piling up
*Correction: This already exists but because of the 'super pops' animation, you hardly ever see it. Therefore I'll change my wish list to being that the corpses should take precedent over the super pops animation.
Finally put all the mods I bought on.
I have Rock Custom's interactive undercab kit (love how this changes colors during different modes and things happening on the playfield)
Pinball refinery uv kit (love this, doesn't look as purple as the pictures show and really makes some things on the playfield light up.)
Pinball Side mirrors
Unfortunately during the install of all this my elbow hit the gas pump plastic and snapped it off. Luckily Spooky included an extra of that one in the goodie bag.
Quoted from ATLpb:What model of side mirrors did you get? Did you have to drill them or the side wall?
Email pinball sidemirrors. He has them for rob zombie, just not listed on the website yet. I didn't have to make any changes to them.
I invited my friend over for nye. He got to hell bound twice. He's no longer welcome at my house.
I streamed the first one on facebook, quality is not good and not sure if you can see the video if you are not logged into facebook. Either way, here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/bill.lembesis/videos/10211632410311658
The second time I just recorded it so quality is much better. https://goo.gl/photos/cvW33X1y27Ky79tC6
As of now hell bound looks kind of buggy.
Quoted from ATLpb:Thanks so much. Can you pm me his email please? I've been unsuccessful using the website contact link in the past.
Actually, I contacted him through pinside.
He's wdpvideo
Quoted from hAbO:Haven't had this but I did have a ball fly back and under the apron, dropping into the cabinet by the coinbox area. Tell me the odds on that one.
I would say pretty good as it's happened to me twice hahaha
Quoted from herg:This does seem to happen more on RZ and AMH than any other game I can remember playing. My AFM, for example, a full speed shot around the orbit can hit a held flipper and the flipper doesn't budge. The ball will bounce off the rubber, but the flipper itself doesn't move. Is the hold coil the same size and voltage as WPC games?
I agree. This happens much more on my RZ than on any other game. Even when doing it by hand and trying my best to throw it at about the same speed and force. Seems to me that on RZ it takes MUCH less force to cause the flipper to be pushed down. Is the hold power the same for all coils or is that something that is set by the software?
Quoted from emkay:I'm almost positive it's 16AWG.
Has anyone else noticed a lot more shooter lane switch errors on the latest code?
I've gotten it a couple of times since code update.
I wonder if something could be done during the multiballs that would prevent people from cradling a ball on the right flipper and then shooting ramp jackpots all day. IMHO this really prevents this game from every becoming a tournament game. Maybe after a few jackpot shots make it so that another shot needs to be hit to relight the jackpot
Quoted from FawzmaGames:Updated - SuperPop animation priority lowered
This makes me happy.
Quoted from davijc02:I wish that when you cashed out a jackpot it showed the value.
I really hope the scoring feedback gets addressed. If I make a shot that is worth more than the 'usual' points it should tell you exactly what it's worth.
Quoted from benheck:Yes we are creating new splash screens to show jackpot values and also the value of major shots in every mode.
Plus more boobs in adult mode
How awesome would life be if any time you asked for something the answer was 'yes and you get more boobs'!
Quoted from Shenanigander:OK so I finally get er set up. After several games the VUK stopped working. The switch registers in switch test. The wires on the coil are fine as well as the diode on the coil. It does not fire in solenoid test. Did the transistor blow? I would call spooky but it is after hours. Any ideas? Thanks, Mike
Happened to me today as well. It was the fuse.
I was getting ready to host a pinball tournament last weekend and one of the things I do with all my games is tighten the tilts. I noticed on RZ that quick hits were not always registering. During the tournament people were getting away with some strong shakes where you could hear the bob hit the ring but warnings weren't always registering. A friend of mine came up with a solution that seems to work well so far. Basically he added a small capacitor.
Here's a pic and an explanation. https://www.reddit.com/r/pinball/comments/6vkejn/i_modded_a_rob_zombie_because_it_wasnt/
Software requests: On a related note I also noticed that I would not always get a tilt warning on the display when one was given. There would be an audio call out but I think any tilt warning should also always display. Also, the tilt bob does not work while the ball is in the shooter lane. Is this by design?
Quoted from xbmanx:Tilt does not work properly....i have access to 3 machines - they are all the same - i know some kind of software fix is in the works.
Hmmm, wasn't aware of a software fix coming, I hope you are correct. Good thing about this mod is that it was cheap and easy, and it can be easily removed when/if their is a software fix.
Quoted from SilverballNut:My 'H' In CHOP doesn't register for the first several hits during the first game of an evening, but then starts working correctly. Same as you I've adjusted and checked in switch mode and seems fine. I don't think it's a bug as much as physically it isn't working until it is hit several times. I was going to try and replace it this weekend if I get a chance.
Happens with me too, except it's the O and the P. It's not a software issue as I can feel it not triggering. After a few rollovers it "unsticks" and works as it should.
Quoted from rask4p:I have started having the switch issue too, are we sure it isnt related to v20? It seems like it manifested a bunch all of a sudden. That said it could just be the batch of switches we have in our machines.
My switch issue is definitely mechanical as when it's not working I can't feel/hear the "click" when I trigger it by hand but once it's working I can.
Anyone have a "fix" to ball hangups in the trough?
I've turned up the coil strength to the max setting.
It's leveled left/right and have it at 6.9 degree pitch on the playfield.
One out of 10 games I have a ball hangup in there and I have to shake it to get it to settle back down in order to kick out.
Quoted from bgwilly31:same problem the game has been unplayable since update because of it.
Why not just turn off the ball save timer
