Got this off another sight..
About the Four AC/DC Pinball Models:
• Offered in four models:
o Back in Black LE (“Black LE”); ONLY 300 units
o Let There Be Rock (“Rock LE”); ONLY 200 units
o Premium (this is a NEW model)
o Pro (Coin Op)
• LE’s and Premium are SUPER LE’s with more features and higher price points than
recent LE games from SPI
• With the SUPER LE’s, we are responding to market demands
• We do not expect to offer SUPER LE’s very frequently, which adds to their value as a
collectible
• The Premium is new and is designed for customers and players that want GAME PLAY
like the LE but the artistic simplicity of the Pro
2
• The Premium is a SUPER high-end game, but priced lower than the SUPER LE’s to
account for the artistic simplicity and lack of collectible features (such as numbering,
signatures and limited production runs)
• There are NO PRODUCTION LIMITS on the Pro or the Premium models and the game
is subject to change
About the Game:
• Designed by STEVE RITCHIE, the highest selling designer in pinball history
• Programmed by LYMAN SHEATS, widely recognized as one of the most creative rule
makers in pinball history
• 12 COMPLETE iconic AC/DC songs:
o Back in Black
o You Shook Me All Night Long
o Highway to Hell
o For Those About to Rock
o T.N.T.
o Hells Bells
o Thunderstruck
o Let There Be Rock
o Rock N Roll Train
o Hell Ain’t a Bad Place To Be
o Whole Lotta Rosie
o War Machine
• An incredible new sound system that makes this game the best sounding pinball game in
history
• A packed playfield featuring:
o For Those About To Rock Cannon
Pro: Rotating cannon perched on top of the right slingshot that shoots
balls. A diverter on the right ramp feeds balls to the cannon.
LE and Premium: A crossover ball track with diverter also feeds the
cannon.
o Hells Bell:
Pro: The custom-made bell is stationary on the Pro model. There is a stand-up
target behind the (overhead) bell. Once the target is hit the trademark AC/DC bell
sound loudly resonates!
LE and Premium: The custom-made bell is on a pivot and a ball hangs below it
just above the playfield. Hitting the ball swings the bell and the trademark
AC/DC bell rings loudly! There is a ball lock behind the bell. Also, there is
a magnet under the playfield. Under certain conditions, when playing in the Hells
Bells song mode, the bell becomes interactive: when the player hits the Fire
button, the magnet is energized and the bell swings on its own, prompting
the trademark AC/DC bell to ring once again!

o Rock N Roll Train:
Pro: The iconic train from the Black Ice album is eye candy and symbolic
of the band. There is a flash lamp behind the train display.
LE and Premium: The train is custom-made and molded with an LED in
the train headlight. There is also a flash lamp in the back.
o Hell (lower) Mini Playfield:
Pro: Not available on the Pro model.
LE and Premium: The game features an “Underworld” lower miniplayfield
seen through a Lexan window. With 2 flippers, 3 Targets and 2
orbits, the action is fast and fun.
o T.N.T. Detonator:
Pro: The detonator has a plunger handle that is fixed. Hitting all three
T.N.T. stand-up targets kicks off a simulated “fire” light show.
LE and Premium: After hitting all 3 T.N.T. drop targets, the targets stay
down. Then, a detonator target is exposed behind the letter “N”. Hitting
that target activates a solenoid that causes the plunger to go down, kicks
off the detonator, and sets off a “fire” light show.
o The Highway To Hell: The right ramp is “The Highway to Hell”.
Pro: A billboard-like image of the band is placed over the right ramp in
the corner.
LE and Premium: An LED board is mounted that contains yellow, red and
orange lights. When a ball travels on the ramp, the colors randomly flicker
simulating fire and flames on the ramp. Also, the Premium and LE
versions feature a mechanically animated band with each character
rocking and swaying in time with the music.
o Devil's Juke Box: On the back panel is the horned juke box tune selector that
allows the player to select any of the 12 complete AC/DC songs
o Drop targets: Drop targets available on the LE and Premium models only.
• A ground-breaking rule set that enables players to:
o Choose FULL songs they like to hear
o Choose rules they like to play
o Choose areas of the playfield they like to play
o Pursue a nearly infinite number of scoring strategies
o Stack and overlap three multi-ball modes (Jam, Album and Tour)
• An outstanding art package from the incomparable John Youssi featuring an over-sized,
hand-drawn, sneering face of Angus Young that embodies the rock “n” roll attitude of
AC/DC.

Start Driving To Colorado!
This is one is going be popular. I admit I wrote it of at first. But everyone i talk to who has played it, loves it. Now decided to get a pro. Or 2!
Any pics?
Thanks Trent!! Great time as per normal! Just got home, no video from me, but I liked the game..not just because I won the tourney...but I think it is gonna be a good game, just need some more time on it to get more familiar with how it all works, I like the way the game modes are tied into each song...not sure I like the way the ball comes out of the pops...SDTM might need to add some gate or something to deflect it some! Can't wait for the Premium one!!! It is really gonna rock!!
I think Blakesell took some video so I will leave that part to him.
Thanks again Trent!!
See ya in a couple weeks!

Yea, I didn't get as much video as I should have. Got a little distracted with conversation, drinking and pinball, but I got some footage, and it'll be at a bar a block or so from my house next weekend. If we still need more video I'll just plunk some dollars in the machine and get some more done.
I thought you guys would like the 3 MM side by side. My friend Chris and I just looked at each other and Chris yelled something like "hey Trent, WTF"? They are all very nice routed MM. I played one of them and it played great.
As for the Red DMD Led on AC/DC, it was awesome. stern went back to full screen and the effects on the DMD are just great.
find a launch party and play AC/DC. I know Donny J has one in Cleveland next weekend (Saturday). Any out of Pinsiders that want to come in town Friday, drop me a line. I have some pins set up and glad to host a pre launch event Friday evening.
