I joined the club today. Got a very nice HUO machine from a local company here in Houston. This pin has been on the top of my list since I got my first pin back in 2019.

Any idea what this cable tie is doing on top of this plastic?

I have only had my machine a few days and have noticed that often times only one or two balls drop from the couch when I get couch MB. The bracket seems to be pointed slightly inward towards the coil piston. Should I try and bend this metal piece outward?

Thanks! I just made it through the entire thread (took me a few days) and saw at least 2 people ask the same question and got the same answer!

I 3D printed a Kwik E Mart sign for my machine and am very happy with how it turned out. If there is any interest I would be happy to make and sell a few to the members of this thread. Let me know if you like it!

Thanks everyone for the feedback on my couch. I will play around with it tonight!

Thanks for the feedback on the QUIK-E-MART sign. I have them for sale on Pinside marketplace and Etsy now for $29. I already sold 5 today! It is a very good feeling to make something that people like and want to buy.

I just removed the batteries from my machine and installed an NVRAM module but don't recall seeing this message before. Is this normal or an indication of something being wrong?

cjchand and brainmegaphone - Thanks for the reply. I think the game was on fast boot before the upgrade. The 5.0 ROMS are on order and will be here on Tuesday. I also picked up a color DMD LCD today which I will need the 5.0 ROMs for. I am looking forward to having the upgraded display up and running!

Has anyone replaced the GI relay with a solid state one? Though not loud, I find the clicking of the mechanical relay a little annoying during attract mode. Any recommended replacement information would be greatly appreciated.

Cloud7 - It looks great on your machine. Thanks for the purchase!

I am looking for one. Where did you get it?

Sorry, just read the last messages!!

I added art blades and Santa’s Little Helper to my machine today.

I spent today installing Cliffys on the ramps and around the itchy and scratchy hole. It required more disassembly than I expected but I got it done. This was my first time taking the upper playfield off. I also installed a Pinsound Plus board and an Itchy and Scratchy TV mod!

I ended up completely removing the treehouse ramp to get the protector on that one. I could not get the two screws off by the comic book guy without removing it.

I was looking for one a few months ago when I got my game and they were all sold out. If I recall somebody told me they would make more in the future. Let us know if you find one. I still want one!

From what I hear the game is very reliable. Besides replacement ramps I am not aware of anything you would need that is hard to find. I have only had the game for a few months but somebody with more knowledge may provide you a more accurate response.
