  Has anyone changed the lightning flippers to regular? How does it play? My machine came with standard flippers but after nearly a year of owning I decided it was cheating so put a pair of lightning flippers on. It is much snappier now and I smashed my high score, same happened for me on fish tales too.

  Thanks for the great info. These have been pulled from a MET MOPLE which has square speakers as I didn’t see any of the border until they were removed. The lightning one looks really cool, I assume for an AC/DC? Yeah, I have red and / or blue lightning bolt designs (along with others) suitable for AC/DC.

  For sale: Lightning - will trade for Nine Ball + more Post #3 in topic

  Posted 38 days ago by Dr_Dude – in Pinball machines for sale ‐ Last reply 38 days ago

  As an owner of both Nineball and Lightning, I think I can say that Nineball is the better player's game (but oh so hard!). Lightning does have the wonderful Stern "Cylon" speech and an upper-level playfield, not to mention a quite rare Viking-related theme, but I'd have to give the nod to Nineball if only because of the amazing backglass. GLWTT!

  I turn them off when not playing or when leaving the game room. You cant plan for unforseen things like lightning strikes (taking out the electronics), fires due to shorts etc, thus I always disconnect physically when not using them. Better safe than sorry.

  I suppose you may gather some flack for your statement. SI has 316 pinside owners and 175 wish listers OTOH, I got a free ride with Contact. I was not expecting that. I was figuring I was going to grab some downvotes with my coffee table statement and no one was even bothered by that The only thing to shoot for is the horseshoe directly above the flippers, and that shot can often lead to drains (like Stern Lightning :-(( ). The two piece backglass (inner and outer) is beautiful.

  Pictures dont do justice for this game with the projector. I think you have to see it for yourself in a gameroom environment. Almost nobody use super bright game rooms when playing. Everybody wants casino lightning. So my game room is 100% dark because the games do all the lightning. So ST premium wil do great in most gamerooms. And the pro is for the arcade.

I don't want to choose 3x lamp scoring if it's only for a lightning lamp. Anyone? Thanks. Just scoring. Can be insane points. My record is over 30 million for one multiplied lightning round. Only way to advance lamp spins is the lamp and a random Bazaar award.
