ALSO… To finish off your code update, go into the game menu and reset everything to Factory Defaults… then adjust your coil strengths as needed. Zero is low power, 9 is high. Realistically you won’t see much coil strength reduction until you get to the lower numbers.

FAQ’S
…
Q – How long will it take me to get my game?
A – We are very proud that we have our games down to 1 initial payment and NOTHING more until your game is complete. No more pre-pay and wait! Alice Cooper’s Nightmare Castle is now on the production line, and we’re moving as quickly as possible to deliver your games!
…
Q – Can I call and talk to a human?
A – Yes! Dial 815-541-0054… Our phone hours are 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. After hours email sales questions to kt@spookypinball.com or for tech questions, service@spookypinball.com and we’ll do what we can to help during non-business times as well.
…
Q – What about parts? Will I be able to fix this game down the road with you being such a small company?
A – Can you get every unique part for every game ever made? Odds are with us, you will! Many of our plastic parts are 3D printed and open source. Need a new one? Download the file and print it for free… don’t have 3D printer access? Shoot us and email and we can make one for you now, or 20 years from now. As long as those files exist, the parts are available. We’ll always have ramps on hand for spares, and playfields / plastics can be re-made when demand is needed at any time. The bulk of our common pinball parts (flippers , pops, slings, targets, etc) are available at www.pinballlife.com and are very familiar to you if you’ve ever worked on a game. Our power supplies are readily available as well should one ever fail. We kept all these things as simple as possible just for this reason.
…
Q – What is your warranty?
A – We’ll cover parts in your game in home use for 1 year. Location use will be 90 days (same as that big pinball company). We like owners that customize their games, but please understand if you’re tapping into the wiring or board somewhere, you’re doing so at your own risk and voiding your warranty.
…
Q – What if I change my mind after I make my initial payment? Do I get it back?
A – Here’s the deal… we aren’t a big company with buckets of cash, so when you make your first payment, BE CONFIDENT IN YOUR PURCHASE! All games here are basically custom and made per order… From the first day at Spooky Pinball LLC, when we take your first payment it automatically goes directly into funding your game. Please don’t put money down because our games are “limited” and you want to hold a spot in line. We pride ourselves in NOT showing games until they are nearly or fully complete so you know what you’re getting before you commit. Once your initial payment is made, we consider the game yours, and you should do the same. We have had a few customers “sell their spot in line” to friends, and we will work with you if something comes up that creates hardships… but again, your initial payment is a commitment to buy, so please treat it as such.
…
