I’m in for a CE. I like the look of the butter cabinet but I don’t feel it is worth it. It is my understanding that the finish on a butter cab isn’t repairable. Bumps and bruises happen on pins. I can always replace a decal. The same can’t be done on the butter cabinet.

Me too.

The best Halloween movie is original but the “NBC” version of it. John Carpenter was asked to tweak the movie while filming Halloween 2 so the original could be shown on NBC. NBC aired a water down version of the movie and John Carpenter took that extra footage and released his own version later on. It’s hard to find the NBC version of the film that has the hard core horror scenes plus the extra footage but well worth it. It adds some depth to Loomis and Michael Myers.

I purchased a Halloween CE with a distributor as soon as it was offered. Spoke with him yesterday about it. He is delivering first in first out (as they should all be doing). He couldn’t tell me when that was going to happen yet but said I will be part of his first shipment. My guess is around Halloween for the dramatic effect. I really think Spooky will try to make that happen.

Nitro just hooked me up with #138. I should be part of the first shipment to regular folks.

Send him a pm. I got 138. You were a couple orders after me. I'm guessing 140 for you.

I want one too. Can't run Halloween with the topper because of my low ceiling so I wanted to purchase the alternate backglass.

Somebody put up a poll already. JCH, HWN or H78. Let the popular vote decide it. H78 seems the coolest and I’ve heard Spooky staff refer to it that way. Personally I don’t care what it is. All I care about is the fact that I got a game on order.

I would add one more item to your list.

7. Want something that looks good but isn’t repairable by the end user? Decals can be replaced if damaged, butter cabinets can’t be.

That isn’t how it will be in the final product. The cool knife shooter was removed for the show and replaced with a standard shooter assembly. The knife version is slotted so the blade handle won’t turn.

I just when back and looked also. I thought I heard that they figured out a way to keep the knife straight. If so, that means there is a different shooter housing that should be powder-coated to match.

I don’t mind the gold but the pumpkins over the speakers should be orange. I’ll wait until I get mine before committing to the change.

So what is the highest # that has been invoiced. I’ve only seen people in the teens so far.

This does look good. Do you have a count of how many of each are needed?

The glass should clear the lockbar easily. Anyone having a issue needs to make sure the playfield glass is fully inserted into the top trim. Mine doesn't without a little help. I literally have to get a finger nail under the top lip of the trim as I am sliding in the glass.

I'll bite - what is GA?

Not on my game. At least not yet. It will get there eventually. It takes awhile for the trim to sync up with the shape of the glass.

Yes, they protect the art blades when you lift and lower the playfield. Just squirrel them away somewhere when not in use.

They work great but are a pain in the ass to fold when you get them. You'll see what I'm talking about when they arrive.

The way Spooky does things - the front leg levelers should be all the way down and the rear should be about 10 turns up (about 3/4" exposed thread between the leg leveler and the bottom of the leg). Assuming your floor is level that should be about 6.5 degrees. The little cube type levels are really good for this. The phone app stuff is always way off.

I have a crappy Chinese made one in my service bag for when I go out on calls. It works great and I'm not upset if I loose it. I've lost nicer ones but this one seems to stick around for some reason. The phone apps always seem to give me bad readings so I don't rely on them. Might be because my phone is in a case. A small bubble level is good for side to side level but the cube can do that too so I just use it.
