I am completely hooked on the Classic Sterns. But I only have a Quicksilver to compare to TNA:

Similar to TNA:
+ Speed (fast)
+ Excellent freaking sound for ripping a lit spinner (very addictive)
+ Upper Lanes
+ Easy to clean and wax (no ramps)

Different than TNA:
+ Bonus countdown, one of the best in pinball.
+ Sweepable drop targets (2 banks).
- No Multiball / ball lock
+ Pop bumper garden with yellow targets surrounding the pops (instead of the TNA slingshot reactor)
- No subwoofer, shaker motor or cool soundtrack.

Here is a good tutorial. The machine in the video is completely blown out but it still plays OK

Hey @Pinball-Pat, only 4 weeks till YegPin 2018!!!

Hopefully there will be a good collection of solid state games for you to try out. And don't write off those EM's, they can also be a blast.
