Quoted from merccat:

I don't think there is one, it just has to be calibrated per machine / location.

thank you

So, I just tried to plug in some headphone to the coin door to try it out, and I couldn't get any audio out of the head set. I did hear clicks when pressing the increase and decrease audio buttons.

What do I need to do to enable this feature?

There is a switch in the little circuit board on the coin door near the top upper left.
You can barely see it from the edge, use a flashlight.

I'd like to know too. I tried mine and the volume is VERY quiet. I couldn't find a setting for headphones volume but didn't look too hard either.

And now I know why.

#2058 7 years ago

That switch just lets me enable/disable the muting of the external speakers. But headphone volume is still very low with the volume maxed on the circuit board.

#2059 7 years ago

Well my 3 YO seems to enjoy it lol. Maybe I'm just hard of hearing now

#2062 7 years ago

Forgot to selfie this. I think I only ended up at like 500,000 because my multi balls were abysmal. But I melted the witch and got flipper frenzy on the crystal ball! All in all a great game, just not very high scoring. First time getting more than one gem (Crystal?--- you know, toward sotr) in a game! Sotr is clearly out of reach...

I discovered on mine that the max headphone volume is set by the system volume level. I'm not a fan of this, but thats how mine seems to work. I need to set my main volume up higher than normal in order for it to sound good on headphones. Give that a try.

#2064 7 years ago

Hey all,
Tech question here. My character rollover buttons are up so high that they routinely divert any ball rolling anything other than really fast. I'd like to lower them a bit. It's like having random magnets throughout the playfield.

I noticed that they are only held up by the spring power of the moving part of the leaf spring (forgive me that my tech terms probably aren't accurate). So I though I could lower the button without reducing the sensitivity of the rollover by bending the contact that supports the button toward the other contact. I tested the concept temporarily by holding it down. Seems to work fine.

Can anyone see a major problem flexing this down a little permanently?

Also, thoughts on how to increase sensitivity of the upper playfield standup targets. I can barely activate them with my fingers, but the contacts seem really hard to reach.

GO!

Actually, I am probably not valid as my left outlane is moved in. Damn, I did that a long time ago and forgot about it. I probably don't need that anymore.

With the Pinnovators WOZ kit you can adjust the master volume w/o opening the door. This is great
for headphone users that like it loud. You cut off the external speakers the normal way then increase the
master volume to your liking w/o the normal find the key, open the door, stuff.

It fits TH too.

I had to adjust all the rollovers on mine as well, they were so stiff they'd create airballs when hit with a flipper shot. Some people suggest shimming the switches down using washers but in my case it would have also needed a longer screw, which I didn't have on hand so I bent the switches back and that definitely helps.

In my opinion, the pinnovators external volume control is a must have!
I added it to my WOZ and TH.
Super easy to install and has a factory look to it.
JJP should have it as an option when ordering the game, thats how good it is.

get a couple of these leaf adjustment tools:

http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=1518

still you have to fiddle with the switches to get them just right.
but with a tool its way easier.

the rollovers will break in over time and soften down.
raise the PF angle a little and push up the flipper power a little until you no longer get as many low inertia shots.

Have at it. Best score between now and Sunday.

Sunday at midnight EST

#2073 7 years ago

just played a quick game and my very first ball i went for the witch skillshot and missed. Next thing i know rainbow is lit and the house/twister is ready. Is there a skillshot to complete Rainbow with one shot?

#2074 7 years ago

Sweet baby Jesus! I'll have all of a few hours to set up my game and get a score in.......fingers crossed!!!

#2075 7 years ago
Quoted from TaylorVA:

Glad to hear it! i got my highest score to date the other night of 650k. I didnt snap a selfie, but im determined to hit 1 MIL by sunday!

#2076 7 years ago

Yes very nice score but the balls roll in the other direction down there

#2077 7 years ago

Just finished a few back and forth emails with Jack at JJP and I have to say, WOW! Not only did I get all my concerns and questions answered, he is doing me a few favors and helping to work around my deployment schedule when I receive my WOZ RR. He just made a lifetime buyer out of me, now I am going to have to make room for TH.

No but the Glinda target can award it randomly, perhaps you hit it when you missed the witch.

#2079 7 years ago

Well, I got my headphones working, but they only work when the main game sound is on. Lame!

#2080 7 years ago
Quoted from bobukcat:

I was going to say the same thing, but I think the Glinda target only rewards one or two of the letters, not all. I would put the game in switch test mode and bang around the playfield near the targets to see if one or more is gapped too closely.

Could be or he may have just got lucky and hit glinda and had a bounce and hit a few letters.

Maybe, but I think we better get to the bottom of this before he enters the contest. We don't want phantom points due to vibration skewing the results.

Lol!!! I know it's not a switch problem as I've played close to 50 games in the past 5 days and have never got rainbow in the first 10 secs of play. I probably just wasn't paying attention and spelled rainbow very quickly which I never do. It just surprised me that I made a ramp shot and was in twister mode.

#2084 7 years ago

I just ordered the pindemption dongle. I had a few questions, so I called JJP and they put me in touch with Jack to my surprise. It was really nice of him to take time and answer my questions. Anyway, I want a way that I can play with guests where we can take turns and they don't have to wait 20 minutes for me to finish a ball if I'm having a good game. I think beginners will also appreciate a simplified rule set with defined goals, unlimited balls and a timer. It may even get my kids back into playing. Anyway, I'll report back when I get it and try it out.

#2085 7 years ago
Quoted from Allibaster:

if you enabled the inside switch, then push the game speaker mute button.
its the lowest button in the headset volume control area on the outside of the coin door.

#2086 7 years ago

Nice!!

Next week I'm thinking about taking my WOZ over to a small office party (where I work) and ya know... I kinda wish I had pindemption for it so that I could keep it flowing and be able to play without throwing a game to keep people interested.

Its too bad a dongle is required and isn't something that could be activated online. If remotely activated it could even have options for to purchase a temporary or even demo license like Pandora Radio's day pass. A big part holding me back is having never seen or played it.

Anyways... Another question... Not that I'm concerned because its my toy and I will share it with others as I want... Just kind of a philosophical / just how touchy are people thing: When someone takes their game out of their home to be played by others non-commercially for a few hours... Or heck even at a weekend show... Is it still considered "HUO"?

Actual pinball shows is a touchy subject on pinside for considering it HUO. But an office party? I don't think the pinside police will nab you it.

#2088 7 years ago

Oh and I just pulled off my best score since getting WOZ.

I can relate. That's why I will eventually get a dongle for pindemption ... for both my WOZ, and future TH.

#2090 7 years ago

You guys do know that there is also a volume control on the outside of the coin door for the headphones, right? Did you turn that all the way up too? By default it is set to a low volume. Just checking for the obvious oversight.

#2091 7 years ago

Get the HOADC shot down, stack all the multiballs with Munchin Frenzy and you'll blow past 1mil in no time.

#2092 7 years ago
Quoted from iepinball:

I thought I'd be better at that shot cause of STLE, but it's a tough one. I take it you want to cash in HOADC when you have a crystal ball mode going and/or a ball on a mini pf?

Also, I notice I can only get 4 horses, I thought I read somewhere that you could get up to 7?

#2093 7 years ago

Yes, it's a tough shot. Easy to backhand with a two ball cradle on the right, otherwise lots of practice. Cash in HOADC anytime you've played a valuable munchkin mode. I always like to take the shot when I have a successful collect ready.

You can get up to 7 horses but you have to work for it. At first you can only have 4 horses. Collect that successfully (all different colors or all the same) and you advance a level to 5 horses, and so on. If you fail you go down a level. Successes add to the munchkin multiplier for that ball:

4 horses = +.5x / 5 horses = +1x (lights extra ball too) / 6 horses = +1.5x / 7 horses = +2x

When you get the multiplier up you can get insane bonuses:

Quoted from Eskaybee:

I thought the same thing, but it is ten times harder than the ST shot. I too go for it if I have two balls cradled on the right flipper. I've been getting better at making the shot from the left flipper, but you have to be perfect. As noted, it can be really really lucrative. My best bonus has been 400,000+ points. I love how the award for munchkin and haunted modes are only awarded at bonus time so you have to be really careful not to tilt. Otherwise, you get a nice message of exactly how many points you just lost.

Yea I've tilted quite a few times lol. I love the per game tilt rules! This game is much more brutal than I imagined. When I played on location it was 5 ball, light tilt, with a ball saver lol. Keefer nailed the factory settings on this.

Yeah, but on the flip side (no pun attended), I think it is one reason why people are turned off on location. There's nothing worse than putting a dollar in and losing your ball without a ball saver before you can even flip.

I have to admit, the ball saver and tilt warnings per ball were the first two things I changed, but I'm no where near the player that you are.

#2098 7 years ago

What on earth is pindemption, and why would I want it for parties???

#2099 7 years ago

So is there anywhere that displays your HOADC munchkin multiplier? I collected HOADC and played munchkin mode; I thought I had 4 different horses but didn't see any .5X multiplier in my bonus or on the game.

Also, I believe I completed ECMB. I had all the gifts and music was playing like I did something good. My question is where on the status report does it show the jewels for SOTR collected?

Thanks!

#2100 7 years ago
Quoted from Chosen_S:

What on earth is pindemption, and why would I want it for parties???

Its an alternate game mode designed to turn the game into a ticket dispensing machine, but the software can be used without the ticket hardware for home use.

The reason it sounds like a cool party mode is that the game is timed (ball count irrelevant) and the setup supposedly allows players to advance through some fun modes within that time providing they can make shots.

In short you don't end up with the newbie getting drained in 5 seconds then having to wait for the experienced player to play their 30 minute ball.
