#200 paid.

#1902 1 year ago

Got #79 all set up yesterday. My only hiccup was self imposed as I somehow got the backbox keys stuck in the ball trough. Otherwise everything seems to be good and my wife and I are very much enjoying it! To reiterate others, pictures do not do it justice and the light shows are a phenomenal. It flows very nicely and the modes are very intuitive and interesting. This is a dream theme for me and I’m stoked with how it turned out!

#268 paid just had to get in on the fun even though I did not receive any request!

#1904 1 year ago

So, I’ve run into some issues. The bottom drain switch wires on the upper playfield broke free at some point, causing the glass to get scratched after having to take it off for the initial setup.

Two banks of switches has to be replugged because they were not fully seated.

Unknown Switch #88 is showing as stuck?

The action button was way too sensitive, it would occasionally go off just because the ball was ejected.

One ball ended up stuck in the metal subway, requiring the subway to be removed.

Currently, I am running into the game just ending mid ball because it thinks the ball drained. The switches are fine in the trough, so no idea what is happened.

Which puts a big cartoony flower on the costume of an evil clown.
When you press it does the flower squirt water at you?

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

Still not funny the second time. It’s the hubcap from the mystery machine. Next

It's OK, I thought it was funny - literally lol'd. (Though I think "evil" is a bit of an extreme term for a Scooby Doo character!)

Thanks for showcasing my buttons, they look great!

#1906 1 year ago

Almost time for me, #301. Strange you seem to be the only one above #250 to say they paid. Did they give you a timeline to expect shipping?

It seems by what he said, he paid them before they asked for payment

#1908 1 year ago
Quoted from Damonator:

The worst is GotG when the magnet actually throws it into the left outlane after exiting the orb.

Stranger Things also tends to launch the ball into the middle and it bounces immediately right back to the right outlane. Almost impossible to avoid with nudging. Would often do that twice in a row and kill your ball save as well.

You've got probably 3-4 weeks, at least. He paid before he was invoiced. The last confirmed invoiced order was still in the high hundreds, last I saw.

3 weeks from invoice to shipping for us.

#1912 1 year ago

Actually for 97 it was only two weeks. Got the payment request email right as we were departing for a 2week trip. Got the shipping notification just as we boarded our flight back home.

97 has been playing great all day since we got it setup. It took me a while to realize the pot on the amp had the sub turned all the way down…once I added some bass, even better! Great game!

Ya I asked them for my invoice a few weeks ago really just to see if I was going to pay Michigan tax,I have never bought a spooky directly from spooky.just saw it sitting there on my inbox so I just sent the funds I would think end of April early may.

#1914 1 year ago

Hi, i'm new to pinball and looking to buy the amazing Scooby Doo. Love the look, lighting, everything, especially the theme. I'm almost 57 so grew up with Scoob.
Was a little put off with all the issues people were having the last couple of weeks, but still very interested. Was very impressed with Spooky offering help and advice so fast. They seem a great company.
I'm in the UK, and on speaking to the company importing the pins, the UK is getting it's quota late this year, or early next year.
Just wondering before i pull the trigger and pay the deposit, is anyone aware of any locations in New York getting a Scooby? Have found a couple of places in Brooklyn with multiple pins, so hoping to try before i buy.
Will be in Manhattan for a week, in a couple of weeks time.
Cheers guys!

If you can’t find one in the city PM me I should have mine soon and you are welcome to come play it for free. I’m about an hours drive from the city.

Nice offer. Was trying to help identify a place for you as well. Pinmap didn't help but they aren't always up to date. Three of the larger place in NY are Barcade, Sunshine Laundromat and JackBar. Couple of those places have some Spooky games. Might be worth following them on Facebook. Just so you know I am NOT from NYC or anywhere close....so I may have no real idea what I am talking about. Haha. Solely looking around on here and trying to help. I did the same thing a week ago trying to find somewhere close to me. GOOD LUCK! Enjoy your trip. Again nice offer SlapDrain!!!

I'd seen Barcade and Sunshine on the pinmap, so was going to try there. Was initially looking into Cactus Canyon, so saw one or both of them had it.
Scooby or nothing now though
Will like them on Facebook as you recommended, good call.

#1923 1 year ago

Came in to find Scooby turned off... location told me there were complaints about balls getting stuck.

I did some looking around and found...
trap (resized).pngtrap (resized).png

So what's that clear plastic? Apparently it's a shield to protect the RJ45 cables plugging into a board mounted on the underside of the upper PF. Why is it blocking the ball? It seems that plastic has a lot of play... and can droop down. I can't tell at all how it's mounted, or where... nor can I even begin to think about how the Upper PF is removed. (manuals... oh manuals??)

So what to do? This puppy has got coins to collect!

Well you can tell you can press the plastic up a good bit, and it kinda stays, but it's apparently done this at least 2 times already, so it's going to do it again. Again, if Spooky can tell me how this SHOULD be mounted or how to get to it, please chime in!

My Op hack was just to keep it pressed up out of the ball path. It seems to kinda rest on that ball guide, so I could use that as a lifting point. I wanted to just stick one of these corner protectors on the underside of the plastic and have it rest on the ball guide to lift it.. one of these

pads (resized).pngpads (resized).png

But of course I had just taken those out of my bag last weekend... d0h! So instead I hacked up a rubber bumper with the idea that if it was slit to sit on top of the guide, the pressure pushing against the plastic will help press to keep it from falling off - just a friction fit.

So for something with some thickness, I took one of these bumpers, sliced it with my razor to make a groove/split in it..

Screen Shot 2023-03-12 at 7.42.11 PM (resized).pngScreen Shot 2023-03-12 at 7.42.11 PM (resized).png

Then wedged it over the guide rail and under the corner of the plastic.

Let's see if it holds. Hey spooky, got any better ideas?

Yikes, those target decals aren't holding up at all

#1925 1 year ago

How many games has this Scooby racked up on location so far? Those target decals are already getting shredded...

Rut row.

#1927 1 year ago

So um, I dunno if anyone else has had this problem, but once in a while after making the mystery machine shot I'll hear the VUK fire several times, and this time it spat two balls, which caused an unfortunate psuedo-multiball that ended when the first ball drained. Anyone else having anything like that or any advice on resolving it?

nothing out of the ordinary. It's pinball - things wear. They don't stay perfect.

Plus you are seeing them up close and zoomed in - most of the time you don't see that perspective.

I always wonder…are you the type of person who never plays…or a player. This goes with any hobby..you use it, and it looks used. Want it to look perfect…leave it in the box, or never/rarely play it.

#1931 1 year ago

guess i will be breaking out some mylar circles i bought way back for round paragon inserts cupping repair and use them as target protectors on them round ones and do some custom ones for the smaller ones , good eye/ ruhh rohh

Many stickers take 2,000+ games before show of any use.

#1934 1 year ago

Still. 500 plays shouldn’t show anything anywhere except maybe some light ball trails that will easily clean up.

It's a brand new game. Would expect the wear not to show this early on.

The shooter lanes on all the show sterns made me cringe. Visible from a distance chipping.

The sticker thing is weird. They had similar early issues with Rick and Morty I believe.

Make sure if you get a show game to change the trough eject power before they start letting folks play it.

We’ve had the same issue now a few times. One ball got stuck in the metal subway requiring me to remove the subway.

Also, occasionally the ball will eject and end up back in the trough. If this happens fast enough, it will trigger the end of ball sequence for the player trying to launch the ball before a ball save even starts. I’ve adjusted the eject power dozens of times trying to find a good place but it either ends up too underpowered or overpowered at times.

Also, the coil whine is unbearable.

#1946 1 year ago

After reading back through DJ’s post where he acknowledges coil whine, I am a bit concerned this is an issue that won’t be fully fixed. I’ve never had coil whine on any other pin, only a hum on TNA. It’s worse than any CRT or arcade machine I’ve ever owned.

I’m going to try swapping the coils out tomorrow to see if that changes anything, though I doubt it will.

Has anyone else had noticeable coil whine?

#1947 1 year ago
Quoted from Yoko2una:

I think the more concerning thing in this picture is the ramp is already cracked. This game will benefit from metal ramp protectors.

EDIT: This ramp appears to be powder coated metal.
