Found one and joined the club today. LE with a topper.

Quoted from dbb143:

Ok, I lied/was wrong/didn't want to remember
The first 2 pics show the 3 screws that hold the plate that the body is attached to (remove these careful not to lose the washers).
The 3rd pic shows the small Phillips head in back of helmet that holds this on. If you have a small magnetic screwdriver, use it. This screw is longer than you think and needs to be fully backed out. Then the Hemet should just kind of slide forward (toward the flippers) off the LED eyes. It may need some wiggling to get it.
The 4th pic shows the "fun" part. There really isn't enough room in the hole of the body neck to get around the metal bracket (that's booked to the pf). The body is loose (attached to metal base plate) at this point. I unscrewed the led board to get the body off, but it took some finnagling to get it! Good luck. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

MAN! That's awesome, thanks for the pics, I will do this next time I'm able.

Congrats on the BKSOR with topper, beautiful. That is one seriously impressive collection

#3654 3 years ago

What are people’s thoughts on pro vs pre? I’ve heard pro keeps the flow going, but you miss the catapult MB.

#3655 3 years ago
Quoted from truthdivides:

They're both great for the theme and the music (to me this game is awesome), but for me with this new Stern, I'm a fan of the pro.
I know with the history of Black Knight some feel that there's a mandate for an upper pf, I get it, but I see this game as a new game altogether. So for me, if I wanted to play BK with an upper pf, I would go back to the original or BK2K. But again for me, with this game, I find I get a little deeper, and the play is a little faster with the pro version and I like that...for what that's worth

#3656 3 years ago
Quoted from truthdivides:

I upgraded to the Premium. I really did enjoy the Pro but ended up in the “BK must have an UP” camp. I do like the Premium but in retrospect I would have been fine if I had just kept the Pro. I’m glad I got the topper before they sold out.

#3657 3 years ago

linked to previous post, yes, BK should have a upper PF... but its not that good on this pin (and again to easy to keep the ball there) :/

than PRO also !

only need a last code update and than i'll search for one

#3658 3 years ago

If Stern was smart, they would rerun the topper. Heck, charge $1K. If there's any topper that's worth that price point, it's that one.

#3659 3 years ago

Doing a second run of the topper would probably renew criticism of the lack (stoppage?) of code updates for this machine, something I'm sure Stern doesn't want to do. Now if they were REALLY smart, they would indeed do another run of the topper, with a slightly higher-than-original price point to make it worth their while, and coincide it with a MEANINGFUL code update that addresses the concerns and improvement ideas from their rabid customer base.

#3660 3 years ago

Yes to both of you!!

Nothing to lose by trying it out since you'll burn that image to a new SD card. Pop out your SD card, insert this one and you can swap back and forth. You won't lose settings or high score because they're saved on your original SD card.

This sounds really cool. Any way to get a version for the Pro model?

Highly unlikely since yesterday I traded away Black Knight for a Jurassic Park.

#3663 3 years ago

I'm looking for a BKSOR in southern MN. Let me know if you are selling.

#3664 3 years ago

Joined the club yesterday with a Pro and wondering if anyone knows where I can buy plastic 22 for this game? I have searched the thread and internet and can’t find anything. Thanks everyone!

#3665 3 years ago

I just got a Premium few days ago and getting it all tuned up. I was wondering if somebody could tell me if this plastic is the updated piece or the original?

20210304_172428 (resized).jpg20210304_172428 (resized).jpg
#3666 3 years ago

From what I can see its the original. The new plastic comes with a grey plastic stand-off that goes behind the rubber to create a bump, so when the ball rolls along the rubber it bounces towards the flipper

#3670 3 years ago

Thought I'd share some work I've been up to on my BK.
Added a custom translite and acquired a nice metal apron from Robert at Hooked on (gloss black with gold fleck) and added some custom backlit apron translites there at the corners. Also got some BK Powerblades installed. I think its looking good and the game is feeling even more epic!

Who here has installed all or some of these Cliffys in his Premium? Are the two VUK rings a bear to install? Are they all that necessary?

[quoted image]

Yes. I looked at it for about 20 seconds and happily out the VUK ones back in the envelope to store. Can’t imagine those will get too worn in HUO. The more standard ones are a no brainer for the drains and ejects.

Thanks, Nova, for your input. Very helpful!

#3674 3 years ago

Does anyone here know a source for these LE artblades? Stern does offer BK:SOR artblades in its Accessories Store, but they are *not* like these.
Thanks!

I wish there were a domestic source, but thank you.

#3677 3 years ago

.delete me XD

#3678 3 years ago

I was trying to reset the replay scores to make the game more accessible to others who come to my house but when I went to Fixed replay scores and Score #3 & 4 gave me an option of 10,000,00 or something in the trillions. The only way I could get it to work was invert the scores making #3 & #4 low then jacking up # 1 and #2.
What am I doing wrong?

Mirror Blades, Anyone?

If you happen to have a set of mirror blades in your BK3, are you happy with them and can you share a photo or two?

Thanks.

well, ask friends to play better

more seriously the solution should be easy to found in the setup (didnt have a spike2 here to check)

#3684 3 years ago

Has anyone here removed his/her upper playfield?

I'm looking in the service manual and, while there are two very nice technical drawings of the top- and bottom side of the upper PF, there is no mention of how you would get it out. This is odd because operators would have to pull it to service the pops, etc. I could probably manage it if I just started peeling away plastics in search of the mounting points, but I thought I would at least ask in case there are members here with experience to share.

Thanks!

Here is the Youtube video on how to remove it; nice to see the process...

I'm in to fight the knight.

Unboxed and modded this week a brand new LE #548. Changed the GI to warm white LEDs

Please tell me how to order Stern's "enhancements" or "fixes" package for a Premium.

I just watched Steve Ritchie explain in a stream how his team made a few "fixes" for the playfield that are now available to Premium/LE owners.  For example, he made a thicker post that goes on the upper playfield to bump the ball out and into the flipper on loops, etc.  Is the set available for free?  If so, how do I get it? Is there a Stern part number for the set, or do I contact customer support and just request one? It seems like they never ship parts directly. You have to buy everything through your distributor. Is this no different?

Thanks!

This kit is free from your Stern distributor. If your local distributor won't support you (if you didn't buy from them), you can buy the kit directly from Pinball Life. $3.

Thanks, Math.
You're awesome.
Did you install this kit in your game and did you find it helpful?
I'm particularly interested in the metal plate that sits below the *very* fragile plastic at the "Light Lock" target. Is that even included in this kit? Aw, fork! I don't see the plate in the kit! Do owners of later-production games have the plate? This is frustrating.

At the 4:00 mark, S. Ritchie gives his pitch about the enhancements:

Note how he mentions the plate to protect that plastic. Who here has that plate? Did it ever make it into production?

#3693 3 years ago

Picked up an LE with topper today locally. Awesome game. Heard there was a sound mod with Rammstein music. True and how do I get it?

Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

Yes - I put it in last year and it does make a difference. I'd say when coming down that rubber, the ball gets bumped/fed into the upper flipper about 50% more now.

I watched the video you referenced - I've not seen any of those other tweaks/enhancements around other than that upper plastic piece Kit #43 (it does not come with any metal plates).

Drat!
No plate.
Just the upper PF post thingamajig.
I want to protect that plastic! It's so thin/delicate!

Got myself a pro was told is much faster and fun vs the premium, everyone I talk to highly recommend the pro. I think I agree

LE pro fully moded with upgraded sound and blood armor
