AS needs a jukebox option.
Like Metallica and acdc. Can go into a radio type screen to listen to songs while in attract mode

Quoted from KingBW:Just wondering ... I bought a AS Prem used and the bulbs under the plastics are white, blue, and red. Is this the way it is NIB? Or are they all white? Manual says white, yet I watched some AS videos and they are the same color scheme.
Tricolor is normal

Quoted from shelby1000:Does anyone know if the Aerosmith LE backglass has anything on it which identifies it as the LE mirrored backglass? Since the artwork is the same I was just wondering if there is anyway to tell. I've heard that the mirrored backglass is supposed to look better but from the pictures I've seen online I can't really tell a difference. Maybe I could seeing one in person. I'm thinking of purchasing an LE and while I don't think anyone would swap one out I was just wondering how one really can tell if they have the actual backglass and not translite.
First, it's glass, not plastic. So you can tell immediately if it's been swapped out.
Second, yes, it is mirrored. Pics don't do it justice, but you can see it clear as day in person.
Also, stern puts a limited sticker on backglasses that they do not put on translites.... Almost a coa seal imo

Quoted from Psw757:I was being sarcastic but as far as I’m concerned, my measure is based on kids out of school to kids back in school and we are past halfway on my calendar.
Depends where you're from. Up here in Ontario, kids finish end of June, off July/August, back after labor day.

Quoted from djreddog:Every mode displays a circle in the upper left corner of the display. The circle then has “petals”, which remind you of a flower. Each lit shot you successfully hit will in turn light one of the petals. The goal is to light all petals in the flower.
I always refered to it as a pie.... But I'm not the healthiest guy out there
Quoted from Spiderpin:What's your custom message?

I don't wanna miss a thing
Quoted from Moeman65:That 2914 is just the first step. You are stuck on the second step. Total update is the two steps added together.
Mine was tiny like 237 then straight to 4782.
It worked on second attempt and verify flew through very quickly.
Game is working, but couldn't play as wife had just put baby to sleep.
Will get on it tonight I hope
Quoted from Spiderpin:That's about what I did on my 2nd game on new code. Plus combo champ of 21. Just got Melody MB yesterday for the very first time. That was a blast, only wished I could have made the shots. I kept the ball in play but kept missing. I was trying to hard. Needed to chill. That would have been a plus. The next half dozen games after that I couldn't score no better than 10 mill. I tried today to make it back to Medley MB, no luck. Try again tomorrow
I think I put up 25 combos in the 500mil run

Quoted from darkryder:Joined the club today. Haven't even played the game yet, need to upgrade the code from the v1.02 that's loaded on it. Such a pretty game, definitely a keeper![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Had a weird issue on my asle tonight. If I loaded a ball into the toybox, it would launch a new ball into play, I'd play a bit 15-30 seconds, and then it would dump the toy box ball back onto the playfield.
Almost like a 2 ball multiball, but nothing else was affected. Mode played normally (happened in multiple modes) and it happened in more than once and in more than one game.
When one drained, the game continued as normal, didn't end ball but also didn't kick out another ball.
Very odd.
Quoted from Blu:Check the connections on either side of the toy box. My leftmost one has come disconnected a couple times. When it does, it acts just as you describe.
Will have to check tomorrow when I'm back in the basement
Quoted from rotordave:Also the 2x trough molex connectors.
Remove and reseat.

Do you mean the trough under the apron? Or something else?

So for those saying a shaker doesn't add much, is it a general thing or just for the general game play.
For example, I have a shaker in my Tron. Most people say tron isn't a great shaker game, but I find it's fine if you can progress through the game and achieve more modes.
Seeing that Tron can be a brutally hard game, maybe this is why a lot of people said shaker implementation wasn't great.
Anybody able to chime in on Aerosmith moreso as you progress?
Quoted from Shredso:It's not the best integrated game, but it's cheap enough. Shake it up. If you decide it doesn't shake enough for your liking, move the shaker to another game or sell it.
Only other spike 2 game I have is imdnle. Which came with one
Quoted from Sinistarrett:Was considering moving my shaker from Aerosmith to Iron Maiden. Does the shaker get used more often in IMDN?
Pro or premium/le?
The premium/le uses it quite a bit. Even has settings to build up as it counts down large after-ball bonus points.
However, the best is its use when the hidden door above the left ramp opens. Just like the movies when a pyramid exploration opens a really old doorway and everything vibrates and shakes.
I love it.
Quoted from Sinistarrett:Its a pro, think Im gonna go ahead and swap it over this morning and see which I like better. If I end up missing it on Aerosmith I’ll order another for it.
Good luck. I don't know the pro integration, but I'm sure it's just as awesome.

Quoted from rotordave:I don’t think there is any?
Maybe indifference. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone saying “I HATE THIS GAME!!”
Except in a tournament when the magnet hoofs the ball SDTM lol
I think when people get some time on the game, they like it.
Maybe it suffered from “same as KISS” when it came out - and Stern can only blame themselves for that.
rd
I agree with everything you said (after the first line)
In other threads, and just general watercooler talks at local leagues and tournaments, there are quite a few people that just dont like AS at all. I always try to explain that its a fun game with the 'just one more' fun factor. They dont care to hear it.
Either way, I love mine, and I dont plan on letting it go too fast.
Quoted from Dallas_Pin:To those of you on the new code (1.7); has anyone experience the premature release of the balls from the Toy Box (insert witty joke here). I find it happening more on Sweet Emotion, but if you have 3 - 4 balls in the box (holding them for 6), before the song ends the box will just dump the balls at random. Not on every song, but most noticeable on SE.
Check the opto connections underneath the playfield. A lot of people have had this happen and it progressively gets worse.
Mine happened out of nowhere but pushing thr connectors back on tightly fixed it

Quoted from scottslash:Manual says a 3/8” rubber ring goes here. I don’t even have a post! Am I supposed to?!?[quoted image]
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.

Here's one magent cover, but I m think the same guy also did a peace sign version as well.
If anyone wants to email, and find out if be curious to know too.
Quoted from Who-Dey:Pretty cool. Are they pretty durable?
Don't know, never bought one. Just remember getting the link sent to me

Quoted from DrMark12PA:I'm eventually going to be in the market for an Aerosmith either Premium or LE only. However, I'm wondering the difference between the 2 and am having some difficulty finding this info on Stern website since they are no longer making them. My main concern is the backglass.... is the LE an actual backglass vs. translate that is in the Premium?
Backglass, different cab art, powder coated rails, signed upper playfield, le plaque, and maybe a couple other things I'm forgetting

Quoted from JeffJr:has anyone added light up flipper buttons ?? just wondering where the best place to get them is
Thanks
I got mine from cointaker.
I do for all my games
Quoted from Who-Dey:I've always heard that those dont last and it's better to avoid them. I dont know if that is true or not but that's what I've heard.
I've had flipper lights on my Tron and iron Man for years now. Not a problem yet..
Quoted from djreddog:In my opinion, this is a game changer. I finally removed the post that sits between the pops and the game is SOOOO much better. It makes the game have so much more randomness and cuts down on the cheap straight down the middle drains out of the pops. I played 3 games without the post and the randomness was pretty awesome. I had 2 ejects out of the pops into the lock, one of the ejects hit the trunk to light a lock and one of the ejects shot it in the elevator! Way cool. Go remove it now. Enjoy![quoted image]
I played an le without the post, and I have decided to keep mine in on my le
I guess it's a personal preference. I found a lot of the sideways escapes lead to outlane drains (on the game I played)
I think it's wise to try it out and see what you like on your own game. It's not like it does any harm to the playfield
Quoted from Who-Dey:I always short plunge to make sure the ball doesnt go into the pops
So do I, but throughout gameplay, you'll be in the pops enough

Quoted from wtatumjr:You can reduce the speed of the auto launch in the adjustments menu. Also you can increase or decrease the lock box ball launch strength so it's makes it most of the time. In most cases you will need to reduce this power from factory settings to make it satisfactory. Also, if an elevator ball goes SDTM too often reduce the strength so it dribbles down to the right flipper.
He said he got a premium, so his elevator will be putting the ball up on the second playfield. I wouldn't recommend reducing the power or it may not make it up.

Quoted from modfather:I make a bunch of cool mods that are not to big , like the Amps. I have clear double dice flasher covers that light up great when they go off. Mini bicycles, Skateboards, and other various toys look good around the Toybox. I also have a cool Rats head with lites in the eyes that lite up by the right spinner. It matches the graphic on the playfield. I also have an Aerosmith Bus that I have not put on my website yet. Plus some cool shooters I have not put on my website yet either , a retro rat , A jester , and a card playing skull shooter head, all very cool. www.modfatherpinball.com Shop by game, look around ...see if you like anything. Chuck
Two thumbs way up for Chuck.
Met with him on a couple different vacations I took when I went down to Florida. Some great stuff and he stands behind his work.
Anyone thinking of buying but not sure, take the plunge, you won't be disappointed.

Quoted from JeffJr:Man did I do some damage today..
plastic protectors. purple dome light plastics.. more purple rubbers and post protectors. Led flipper buttons, through Leds in the apron, crank it up scoop and toy box LEDs! Speaker light kit, shaker motor. rubber protectors for the floor and a cup holder!
cant wait to install all this stuff!
does anyone have a shaker motor? How do you like it?
I have a shaker on mine, it's not the greatest game for integration, but I e joy the addition of it.
All my modern games have shakers, so maybe I'm biased, but I can only offer my opinion.
Quoted from Toddolie:Can anyone suggest where I could find purple colored leg protectors for my AS Prem?
Avoid them
They are often too large and will cripple your decals.
The metal ones are sufficient
Quoted from Toddolie:So just go with the standard legs and nothing behind them? I saw where someone offers some felt pieces to place behind the legs to protect the cabinet. Do you use anything or just bolt up the legs?
There should be the metal (sometimes plastic) protectors from the factory.

Quoted from BMHouze:I had enough for a Deadpool LE.....
But, my wifes' grail is Aerosmith.
Off to P1 tomorrow for the showroom pro.
Enough left to order Heavy Metal....
First world pinball problems.
Why not splurge on Aerosmith prem or le?
Quoted from BMHouze:I had enough left to put 5k down on another pin.
Plus, toybox airballs scare the shit out of me.
One of the wifes favourite pins.
Let her slowly destroy a Pro
My new build we be along in a few months.
I went all in on Heavy Metal.
Love the magazine.
Nice. I've never read/seen heavy metal, but it looks alright.
Have fun with the pro, when does it arrive?
Quoted from BMHouze:How often does the shaker motor trigger?
Debating it as mod #2
Just don't know how often it will come on.
Elvis was one mode and a bit after that after that mode was done.
It's really not a ton, but it's not bad.
Also gets better the further you progress. (If I recall correctly)

Quoted from punkin:You guys could stop any possibility of the magnet throwing the ball and doing damage with the flick of one switch you know?
Set this backbox switch like shown and it will also stop any further playfield dimpling.

For a moment I thought your tmolding was peeling, but then realized you have chrome and it's reflecting the purple.
I've gotten used to mine being purple and it totally threw me off.

Quoted from BMHouze:Looks like my other pin doesn't ship until November to Canada.
Broke down and had P1 ship all my Aerosmith spare parts.
Added a shaker motor for my pro.
Should I just drill through the center of the existing mounts from the underside?
Will have to do a dry fit 1st before starting. Especially to be sure I have enough wire to reach the spot.
Parts are a few days out.
Drill through what mounts?
Is it not already drilled with factory t-nuts waiting?
Quoted from BMHouze:I see the nuts underneath.
I just don't recall them being noticable from inside the cabinet.
They are there for ease of install. No drill needed.
If you need a hand I'd be happy to walk you through it on phone or vid chat.
Very easy, just one screw that you need baby hands for
Quoted from BMHouze:I just don't open it up much.
Now that I have art blades I have to be really careful opening and closing, try to keep it to a minimum.
If I do drill them out it would be with a very small bit. Have to leave some meat to grab to.
I have a nice pin vice from my days painting minis.
DO NOT DRILL
FORGET THE DRILL
YOU DO NOT NEED IT
Quoted from BMHouze:Installed.
Shook like crazy
Unplugged
Node board 1 not found
I did have to drill.
Plugged into bottom of the board like the utube video.
Still not sure what you had to drill.
Got pics?
I'm very curious and slightly concerned
Quoted from BMHouze:Holes were drilled 9/10 of the way from the cab bottom.
Player 1 said they have had this problem with other customers.
Claim the motor may be defective.
Warranty will cover node 1
So there wasn't pre-existing t-nuts?
Quoted from BMHouze:The nuts were there.
The holes were not complete from the cab bottom.
Wondering if it may have been that extra piece in the kit the capacitor spacer.
Maybe I'm confused, but the neck of the t-nut goes into the hole. If the hole isn't completely drilled the t-nut won't insert...

Quoted from J85M:Anyone with an Aerosmith LE and a Stranger Things LE? How do the purple armours compare?
I don't have both, but I have asle and have played stranger things le, and they are very different. Wouldn't even be close if say side by side in a collection
1 month later
Quoted from BMHouze:If I don't like it can I just default back to the old videos?
Or do I need to save all that data somewhere just in case.
Already have a buddy setting up one of his spare USBs with the data.
Could be fun to try over the holidays.
Just download the newest code from stern to revert back to stock
Waiting on someone with a premium/LE to give feedback.
Very curious how this will turn out.
Also, what is the procedure for making the SD Card work properly for this?

Quoted from JimB:Found this from around June 2018. Don’t remember where it’s from (Stern factory?) but a great photo.

I believe this was a cointaker event.
