Hi all. We're having so much fun with the T2 Club, I decided to start one for Scared Stiff. You just need a machine to join...or be a supporting member!

Quoted from Perspex:Drove from Ontario to NY state during 'Sandy' (thankfully far inland) to take custody over Buschjs's sexy SS. Love it...it's never, ever leaving.
Now THAT'S dedication! Welcome! Maybe we'll get Robert Winter on here to keep us updated on all things Elvira...)
Great pix! Let's have more with our machines. Welcome new members. If anyone has a contact to make jackets or shirts, lemme know. My guy said tshirts with large graphic on back and small on front would be between 20 and 25 bucks! I'd love to have a jacket made. I have the artists, so the graphics are no problem. .....oh poo!
Quoted from RobertWinter:SS shirts were made years ago by Jim over at pinGame Journal. I have my own stash of them.

Perfect! How much? I want one. 
Dennis, that would be great! When I saw Cassandra at the last Chiller Theatre convention she said she had a meeting with Jack. She said there was never another meeting. Do you have any more info on this? Would Stern possibly be interested in an Elvira pin.
And, of course, you are correct, Elvira is the Character and can be used with any cool monsters, aliens or haunted house theme.
I enjoy Scared Stiff more than MM or AFM! 
Quoted from bluevegas:They are actually shift knobs. Robert actually has a write up about them.http://www.robertwinter.com/pinball/ss/tech/shooter.htmlNot sure why my first pic came across so blurry and large
Are they still available somewhere? The link goes nowhere.
How do you attach it? Rod in and screw down? Thanks!
I was thinking that, but the few I saw for shifters were tilted down when put on a pinball rod. When you put it on a shifter it faces up, but on the machine it faces down. The hole would have to come from the back of the skull, not the bottom.....right?
Quoted from Perspex:Has anyone else forgot about the leapers when playing with the glass off? I had to laugh when the first one flew into the air.
YES! Testing the game and that sucker flew up and beaned me! Oh poo!!

Yes, in attract mode as the Spider spins, the lights come on as the point passes them. As you collect them, they stay on.
...ALSO...there is STILL a SS for sale here ($4,700 OBO)...somebody please jump on it! It has all the mods...

Quoted from Honch:Hey Ted, is that one of those statues, that you paint yourself? If you did that, you have a good eye. Or did you recruit your wife for that one?
Hah!...No, it was painted by the owner of the company that makes them. Wise ass! 
Yeah, I just mentioned it in another thread and had a few people contact me about selling it. It sold fast! I only charged what I paid for it. I'll be going to the Chiller Convention in April and can ask about another. They're not cheap though. Unless you just want the kit. I think that was $125 or something....and you're right Honch, Harriet could have probably done it. BUT...she's doing so much Real Estate business, she has no time. And that's ok...she has to keep me living in the manner I'm acc...oh never mind....
When are you coming back for another visit? 
Quoted from RobertWinter:I have a couple of those statues that I've had professionally painted. I think the last one on Ebay went for $450+. It's actually a very rare statue.
Thanks Robert...the guy who bought it will love to hear THAT!
Quoted from Rum-Z:I'm at work now Skypilot. If I was at home I'd go down to my gameroom and take a picture of my SS's serial number picture and I'd share it with you. It's pretty easy to read mine. It's mostly all zeros with a 43 on the end. It also lists the date manufactured. My machine has the early production playfield art and the early production apron art, that coupled with the 43 in the serial number, should (I say "should" - from what I think I know) indicate that the SS I have was the 43rd made (unless I'm misremembering and it's the 48th). It's 40-something for sure, LOL.
Yeah, please take a pic. I'd like to look at mine too.
Congrats, Dale!! Ya know, the more I look at that Spider Spinner, the more I think a great clock can be made! The rubber spiders are available...put a pointer on it. PhotoShop the Spinner art, put some numbers on there. Attach the spider to one of those clock mech thingys and frame it. hmmmm 
Quoted from ctozzi:Looks great, hopefully your old one that's headed my way looks close to that one.
Oh yeah, except for that small dinker by the Crate, it's really nice! AND you got plenty of LED's in there including the super-cool slow multi color flasher behind the TV! (love it and can't wait to get it for the new SS) It's not as clean as this one, but certainly nifty! And I love the SS Poster!...I sent my extra copy! It's just a fun game all around!
Quoted from haunted1:Go buy some basic black acrylic paint at the craft store. Mix it up with water till its about pudding or milk consistency. Dip or brush the bones in the black, wipe off the paint with a rag or paper towel. I am considering using glow in the dark paint as well on my next set after the black. It is clear when it dries and might glow better than the glow bones.
Thanks bigdaddy and tatster! I will have my wife do this. She does faux finishing, etc. Perfect! 
I know they have a glow thingy for the Spider Hole.
There is also a mod to have the ball returned from the left side. (another thing removed for cost)
There is a TV Mod.
I saw one with those light things on the ramps.
One thing I really like is the slow fade in and out color changer LED for behind the Backglass TV. There is also a fast flicker one for behind the candle.
More??
Hey, the guy that does those embroidered machine covers said he'll work on a Scared Stiff Embroidered Patch for me. I told him to make a bunch as I'm sure a few of youz will want one. It's on a thread somewhere below this one...
Quoted from ctozzi:I finally got my SS today, I didnt have much time after work but I did install the Laseriffic topper. Thanks Again SPFXTED !
Looks great! Thank YOU! I'm glad you're enjoying it. shhhhhh...but I enjoy this game more than AFM! 
Just got this from Andras when I told him about the Scared Stiff Club. He will be making embroidered Scared Stiff patches. 
Hi!
Wow, I didn't think, there are a club on there...
Then I can make a few designs, and even, if You need, I can make them
iron-on...
Andras
Yeah, doesn't seem that bad. The Terrifying seems to have the mylar scratched, but maybe the wear doesn't go all the way through. Also, just make the deal off of Ebay so you don't pay the fee. $5k seems about right. Does it have any mods? Dancing Boogies, Skull Pile, LED's . AND...it's fine to post pix in this thread . We are all here to help!
Whoo-hoo! Tonight my tech is coming over to install: New updated LED colored Skull Pile Eyes, Flickering Candle Mod, Custom Eyeball Shooter, Laseriffic Topper, Move the Battery Thingy and install some LED's.
...then Alex will have powdercoated legs for me at Pinfest and I'll be all set! 
Will do. ...and welcome! I just sent you a message in another thread. My tech cancelled on me. If you have the ability to put a few mods on my machine. (LED Skull lights, Flick candle, shooter rod, battery thingy)...I'll make it worth your while. (I am a complete noodle-head, as you know, and can barely take the glass off)

I get stuff from Judge Dreads in the UK. This link is to the Flickering Candle Mod that just went into my Scared Stiff.
ebay.com link: Scared Stiff Pinball Skull Pile Candles mod
The next link is to a cool looking Plasma Mod. Has anybody got this? Is it ok to use without screwing up something on the machine? I know when they had those Plasma Globes and someone put it in a Xenon, they said it was causing the machine to act weird. Suggestions? Advise?
ebay.com link: SCARED STIFF Pinball Laboratory Plasma Mod Add on
Quoted from Cobra:This looks cool if was the top of the pop bumpers..i wonder if you could lay it flat some how on top of them?
I don't know. But i think I'll get one and check it out.
Wow! Beautiful clean game! Please PM me and tell me what you got it for.
Yes! Angyalpor has been in contact with me and I think he's on the right track. Robert, please let us know if you think everything's cool. I thought the Crate, Spider and Elvira with the logo would be the main stuff...
Wow! The NJGecko just left. The Plasma Mod is now installed...AND Alex's powder coated legs! Everything looks great! Thanks to Andy, Alex and especially Greg! (I can never thank him enough! )
....and Alex...I need the Lockdown Bar done? Can ya get one and hook me up? (not worried about the siderails right now)
...pix later...gotta do Mothers Day stuff for a while...
Yes! ...and, as mentioned in another thread...I got that 3 Gory Eyeball (Interactive) Mod from Judge Dreads. It looks pretty cool! You should check it out... (I got the Plasma Mod as well...)

Quoted from bigdaddy07:I'm still holding off since it well exceeds my mod price limit.
Yeah, I'm waiting to sell a few things. Somehow I had it in my head that this was a $199 mod! $400 is a pretty good hit after spending aprox $1,500 in mods....
