On my TNA I have to use a thin piece of cardboard and slide it across the top of the glass to get it to go under the black plastic lip under the head.

Hey gang,

Quick question. What were the out lane posts set at from the factory? Mine are set at the bottom, not at the top.

Thanks.

Just checked my glass, definitely not the issue.

I have my flippers on normal rather than boosted, and have upper flippers set to only activate when on upper playfield and noise is minimal. Someone else said dropping the flipper power down to 90 helped, but I haven't tried that.

They come on the bottom holes (max open) from the factory, and there is a reason for that.

If you want to be able to move them into the top holes, there is a DIY mod for that.

Is the lockdown bar handle very difficult to move, even with the glass out and the lockdown bar off?

RM

Nope the handle moves just fine. It’s almost like I can’t get the lockdown bar down far enough to engage the mech at all. Thinking maybe the whole mech needs to be adjusted upwards, and then fine tuned with the adjustment screws?

The brass screws do adjust the height of the mechanism - my lockbar was loose and I find its hard to find the perfect spot when the lockbar is able to latch, and also locks down tight. I would start by backing the brass screws way out (would block the glass) and you should be able to get it latched very loosely, then turn the brass screws down incrementally until it works

Anyone have issues with multiple balls during a play. Seems like it thinks I’ve drained and ejects an additional and haven’t. Ends up locking the flippers if one ball goes down.

I was experiencing this until I put in a set of fresh balls. Could be but not limited to balls getting jammed or magnetized together/stuck in the trough. They may no longer be sliding down to the next position causing confusion and the machine simply just spits out another ball.

I also had this issue. You might justr need to adjust the two brass looking bolts but there is some discussion about another possible culprit. There is a nut on the top/middle coin door bolt that holds your lockbar mechanism in place on the inside of the cabinet. There are owners that have said that the nut is too large/wide and the flared out part of the nut interferes with the mechanism. You can replace that nut with a smaller one (less wide). See my pictures below.

SpookyLuke if the cutler multi-ball can be coded to restart after you at least play 1 or 2 modes that would help a lot in tournament play. The players just stay on the upper playfield and spam and repeat cutler multi-ball. They don’t even play the bottom main playfield. Just a suggestion

Absolutely. This could easily be a setting, maybe under HARD.

Cannot requalify Cutler Multiball until some other task is met.

Seems reasonable.

That's a great idea!

And daily high scores?
It's for the kids.

I went into the service menu the last time I experienced this: the trough and MM switches/optos were all registering correctly.

Yeah same. All trough switches tested correct. It's an odd issue to catch in action because the way balls become magnetized is not evenly distributed which is what makes it so random. I had to mock-up running through a game by manually pushing a ball in to the shooter lane and observe the trough to finally catch a few balls stuck next to each other. To be clear, I originally installed Titan 'Super Shiny' balls and I should not have. Once I took those out and installed the Pinball Life balls that came with the game the issue immediately went away and has not happened since.

sorry if this has been answered somewhere but does the collectors edition come with anti reflective playfield glass?

It is regular glass

Hey Spooky!
How about adding a setting for a couple second grace period for after the ball save light goes out when the ball goes between flippers? lots of time it is still lit
when it passes flippers, but is out before it registers in the ball trough therefore ending ball in play.

If magnetized balls were causing the issue, I would have observed the effects of switches or optos not being tripped by balls when I went into the menu. All balls were accounted for by the system when I went to check.

If I did observe a missing ball, then the next step would be to determine if it was an issue with a switch, or magnetized balls.

Just unboxed 1037 for location, looks like the game will be off on the first day of operation. Just randomly ends the ball in the middle of play.
Stuck switches look good (9 and ball trough 1-7), trough switch test activates as it should. Balls received are what was used in the game.
Guess I will be giving WI a call tomorrow after work to troubleshoot.
Bummer.

I had this problem when I first got mine. Found one of the trough switches shorted on the N/C contact on the switch.

This thread is just too high in posts to try to find but I was looking at the tracking list someone started and there’s a huge gap from numbers 1200-1600 (maybe off numbers or spacing). Is the plan for spooky to make those and they just go to distros? Hard to believe it goes hundred of lines with no one putting in their name if they’re even 30-40% sold

A link to that tracker is in the Key Topics index on this thread.

CE#1038 Has Arrived!! I can't unboxed until this weekend because I don't have help moving it in the house.

This sounds like an ask for help! Someone close to this guy get up there and help him right now! 5 gallons of free engine oil included.

Stop by for a visit at Fleetpride in Leominster MA. Thanks for the plug on our oil. We are currently running oil specials.

Just finished up a decent game on Scooby and finally got that elusive extra ball during MM multiball. It was a bit strange as the display screen didn’t show anything but I noticed it bumped me back from ball 2 to ball 1. I wonder if you can get multiple extra balls during MM multiball or is it capped off at 1. I also bumped my GC score up a bit during this game. This game is definitely headed in the right direction IMHO.

I recently achieved the elusive extra ball too. Like you, it was not obvious and rather uneventful given the difficulty to achieve it. There definitely should be a clearer indicator and call out for it. (If there was a callout, I completely missed it).

Just got Scooby up on location and saw all of the servos are plastic. Does anyone have a good replacement that’s going to be metal, or at least a bit more resilient?

they've been holding up fine - plus they give you an extra in the box

Just got 1032. Only issue so far is a few slight nicks on the right head. I'll ask them about a replacement decal when I get time. Played about 20 games so far with no issue. Super fun. I was pressed for time tonight and could only play a few games...but it is absolutely a "just one more game" game. Lol.

I thought they said there had switched to using metal ones after HWN and UM ?

Does anyone have the measurements for the width of the box? Just checking to see if I can get it through the front door without unboxing outside. Thanks!

Straight from AJ when I needed to know:

After about a dozen or so games on Scooby I’m ready to say this much…

Spooky has absolutely nailed something I have found elusive on other games - Scooby is very approachable for new players while still being deep enough for experienced ones. My wife (very casual player) absolutely loves it so far and unlike other games she’s played seems to be really interested in figuring out the rules on her own. We’ve played together and she’s the one saying “just one more game”.

Nice work Spooky, I think this one’s a keeper!

Yes I know I wasn’t asking how to find the list. There’s a huge gap in numbers on the list what’s spookys plan for those gap numbers.

Not for me they didn’t. I’m hoping to find some metal ones as the location mine is at goes hard with a lot of good players. Just don’t want broken servos six months down the road.

For the MG90S type servos, Halloween and Ultraman owners have been using these as replacements with good results.

It's 13 bucks for a 3-pack

Here is what came with my game, doesn't seem to be plastic to me:

pasted_image (resized).png

all the ones they sent me have plastic gears (including the extra they sent in box) I wouldn’t care if this were a home use pin, just trying to cover my future self.

Thank you,
I’ll check mine, friend had a Halloween (he has since sold it). He said these worked great but they might not have been the same.

Strange, they specifically said they upgraded to better servos for SD. Wondering if they ran into stock issues or something, but then, I would have assumed they would have found another metal equivalent.

The bigger servos on HWN/UM (the ones that run the ball lifters under the slings) very rarely if ever fail.

RM

Joining the club this weekend. Was pleasantly surprised when I got a chance to play it on location. I definitely think it's one of spooky best games to date.

My butter came with an extra servo in coin box for scooby barrel.

Thanks Russ for sharing the Mystery Machine breakout. Lots of optic switch transmitter/receiver pairs. I like optic switch triggers, but they can drive you crazy when the transmitters gets weak. These look to be the same ones used on Getaway HS2 and other Williams based pins from the 1990s. Been down that road several times with WPC weak optos. Again, thanks for the breakdown of the MM area with what is happening inside it.
