Yes. a plastic post, large one. Check the manual and it will tell you the correct one. I cannot post a photo for you right now.

Thanks. But manual doesn't tell squat about hardware like that. Just rubbers and assemblies. No map of posts nor fasteners nor such.

Finally found a photo on line, and it looks like there's supposed to be clear star post. I'm gonna put one in. (Unless I hear otherwise.) Thanks again.

It shipped from the factory with a post. Did you buy NIB or used?

Used, but from a friend who bought her NIB. Perhaps he removed the post? (Gonna ask him -- only out of curiosity.) No big deal. It was just funny b/c I'm looking at the rubber chart and... huh?!?

Currently getting a parts order together. Putting off the order as long as I can b/c you KNOW as soon as I hit the "SUBMIT ORDER" button, I'll think of something else!

Some people removed that post so that the ball could pass through in either direction for a little variety. I left it in.

Yep this ^^^ some people say it makes the game more fun without that post. Ive never removed mine to see how it plays without it.

That's the post that always gets loosen in game play and gets checked whenever glass comes off. Check your coin box for that post, it may be stored there.

I thought that might be the case. I'm gonna put one back in and see how it goes.

Both are good thoughts, but nothing in coinbox. Thanks.

Yes. From the factory there is a post there. It stops balls from escaping the pops to the side.

A lot of people remove them though.

Didn't realize there was a new page of responses.

Oops.

Just got my used AS pin from Lermods today, and what a beautiful setup. The RGB interactive backbox mod he had installed is incredible. I didn't think I would really notice it but it's absolutely fantastic.

One of the most over looked and under rated games in pinball history. Congrats and welcome to the club!

Excellent, enjoy the game, it is fantastic!

It wasn't even on my radar and then I played a pro at a pinball league and loved it. Definitely underrated.

Its fantastic. Wait until you get to Medley tour multiball and hopefully the final tour wizard modes. The shots are hard to hit but once you get your aim down good they are smooth as butter and extremely satisfying. I seriously love this game.

It's way up on my like list as well. I like how clean and open the playfield is. A well placed shot is rewarded. Some pins are too jam packed with stuff for me. I guess the people that come up with the design want to give you more and more but sometimes less is better. I cut off my Ghostbusters Scoleri brothers 'cause I hate stuff popping up and blocking my shot.

That's our purple trough light. Lermods.com

You can't go wrong with Lermods!

I’ve been eyeballing IMDN Premium for almost a year now, but I still don’t know if I’d love it as much as AS.

IMDN Premium one of the best games ever made in my opinion. It's a better game than AS but thats certainly no knock on AS at all. IMDN is just exceptionally good. Maiden is a game that will no way ever leave my collection.

Yea IMDN is great I have the premium. It compliments this AS pro nicely. I know Zach at Flip N Out has an IMDN in stock new ready to ship if you’re looking.

Plug and play trough lights, nothing else to buy. We don’t offer speaker lights for spike games, other than GB, which are round.

I was storing my AS in the garage for a little bit due to space issues. However, I sold Tron over the long weekend. And AS went right into that spot. I’ve been playing it like crazy again. It’s just a great little game. I always have fun playing it.

The one thing I miss, the latest version of the software really cut down the calls on the stuff going into the toy box. For instance, the baseball bat. Now Jacky says baseball bat instead of “Hey batter batter” most of the time. And I hate editing sounds on Spike games. So if Strrn would change one thing, it’s use the fun calls more often. But of course, I’m playing the crap out of it, so I guess it isn’t that big a deal.

Thanks! Doh, never noticed that. Will fix it and repost.

Is there a way to lower the volume on flippers and pops?

Having some trouble with toybox ball launch on my Pro. I know the toybox topic has been covered extensively within the forums however I can’t find anything specific to what I’m experiencing. The very first ball launch at the start of a game misses almost every time. After that, subsequent launches work at about 95%. Next game, same thing, first launch misses. From what I’ve read, the software monitors misses and supposedly makes coil power adjustments to compensate. This makes sense as most subsequent launches work fine however it would appear to me that the adjustments aren’t saved after the game. Anyone else experience this or have suggestions on a fix? I’ve already messed with the power settings without success. The default setting of 220 seems to be the best on my machine.

Put the glass back on

Is it common for Elevator MB to dump the balls out of the toy box to?

I would think that it would have to do that if you didnt have enough balls in the ball trough. The balls have to come from somewhere so it is probably pulling them out of the toy box to use for elevator multiball.

Yes.

As Who-Dey said, yes, if there aren’t enough in the trough. AND, there is no ballsaver for the ones you didn’t earn, which is a really cool aspect of it. When you lose the ones you didn’t earn quickly, they don’t come back.

Yea not sure how that didn’t cross my mind. Only had it happen twice. But now that I know I load the box then start elevator mb. Still feels like cheating. You would think after you lock 4 balls it would deactivate elevator mb.

That wouldn't be fair!

Dude looks like a lady mode insert light is out. Lifted the PF, and noticed the light is attached a board with all the other lights, so no quick swap of a bulb. I've reseated all cables connected to the board and the light is still out. How do you fix this?

Is it attached to a larger board or just a small light board, sounds like former. Could be a loose wire on the connector for that board.

Weird question, I have been having issues with my toybox, it will randomly just dump any balls that are locked for no reason, now when ever a ball is locked, and it makes it in the box, the game makes a noise, like a buzzer, then flashes the spotlight that is focused on it, then it dumps the ball, it clearly sees the ball enter as it does not make that noise or flash the light, if it misses, so this tells me it can not be the Opto's. Stern tech support says bad opto. I went into service / Diag / switch test, and it works perfectly??? So? How does an Opto go bad in a 2 year old game? those should last for years?

Lift works fine, switches on the box lid is fine opens smoothly, I have re-loaded and re-downloaded the code, in case it got corrupt somehow. Same result, how can a switch test good repeadedly and sees the ball to trigger a dump and flash the lights?

Any ideas?

Optos can be bad even when they are brand new, i got a new MET game with a flaky opto. It is probably easy to change and they are cheap so put a new one in and try it and see what happens.

Correct. Brand new optos can be bad (or worse, marginal) right out of the package. They are cheap, and if Stern says that’s the issue, just replace it. When debugging with a company, you should almost always just do the thing they ask. If it’s correct, great, you’re done. If not, you move to the next step. But if you don’t do it, they will never work with you to get to the next step of a fix, you will be on your own.

Just got my first NiB and it was Aerosmith. Fun pin! Great art. Not sure if they all came like this but the box also had a signed or Initialed flyer. Pretty cool they put that in there

Congrats on the NIB. I hadn't heard anything about the included autographed flyers. As for the signatures, John Borg on top and Lonny Ropp on the bottom. I think maybe Danger is both of their middle names.

The final production run was shipped with a signed flyer : https://www.facebook.com/sternpinball/posts/10156885873779244

Awesome, thank you!

Congrats on your new Aerosmith. It's a game that the more you play the more you like. Try each song at factory settings (50 seconds I think) but reduce the "easier" songs to 40 seconds or so makes it easier to reach final tour. AS is my favorite so far( but my quest is not over.)

That’s awesome. I also got a comic book and a signed lithograph with my IMDN premium I just got. Wasn’t expecting it and found it taped on the very back of the pin, which was a pleasant surprise. Love my AS pin and I never get tired of playing it. Great pickup!

Very good to know, I’ll change that now. Thanks!
