I need some honest feedback. I am thinking about added a BKSOR premium to my line up, but I'm not 100% sure. I can't play one with the lockdowns in my area, but if I do decide to purchase it, my local distributor will allow for a curbside pick up. I've never purchased a pin without playing it several times first. The wife and I watched Jack play the pin on his Deadflip youtube channel and it looks fast, cool and really engaging, my wife referred to it as a supercharged MM and she thinks it is amazing.

I have a couple of Steve Ritchie titles in my collection (SM and GOT) and I like the flow and speed of his designs, I'm just not sure and need some help to make this decision a little easier. Whenever I add a pin to my line up I typically want to keep it for a long while, I need something that I won't get bored of easily.

Any feedback and info would be great.

It is the P1 premium...and based on the feedback from all of you BKSOR appears to be a great machine. I've watched several videos on it and my wife is more and more into it, in her words "it really is a better version of MM"

Thanks for all of your responses

Finally got my BKSOR premium yesterday, the family and I spent a couple of hours playing it...and this is a very fun, interesting, fast flowing, frustrating, challenging and keeps you coming back for more pin. The graphics are amazing, voice/sounds are very well done, incorporating the the older black knights into this pin is brilliant....I will be playing it much more today.

A big thanks to the folks on this BKSOR forum for your honesty. Black Knight is everything you guys said it would be and more.

The only question I have is how do you remove the upper play field to clean below? Is there a set of instructions available?

Well done, very nice and everything is well placed. I really enjoy my BKSOR, its really unique in its own way.

Out of curiosity are there any software updates to come for BKSOR. I noticed a few mentioning that the game feels 75% complete and some call outs, graphics and modes need to be completed/polished.

I've only been playing it for a few weeks and absolutely love it, my experience level isn't quite there yet. I'm wondering what else needs to be completed to make BKSOR 100%.

That's an impressive write up. The more I read your response the more I agree with you. It would be great if your suggestions were implemented...I hope Stern listens. It would be to their benefit, increase consumer loyalty and further improve relations with their supporters.

I have some faith, soon, soon

Thank you for this guide, I found it last week on Youtube and tried it out. It is a quick and simple procedure, well designed and easy to do.

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

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

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

A Monty Python sound track would really lighten up the pin and add some humor to it.

I installed the same powerblades in my BKSOR. I removed the screw and washer and gently trimmed the powerblade to get it to fit properly around the nut that holds the flipper. Be patient and work slowly.

Do you have the link for that shooter rod? Can't find it on the Stern website.

Massive and cool, where did you find it?

Interested too

Very cool to hear it this way
