I bought my first two Stern pinball games. The Mandalorian and Led Zeppelin. Is there any thing the more experienced people recommend for tips or tricks that I should do to the machines?

Quoted from acedanger:

Cliffy protectors shooter lane protector. Change out rubbers. Oh & next time pick better games

The Mandalorian is one of the best pinball machines I’ve played and my wife liked the simple playing field of Led Zeppelin. Any time the wife tells you to buy a pinball machine you do it!

Quoted from TheLaw:

Personally I would swap out the balls.
Peeps will also tell you order some coil stops from pinballblife as a back up.
But generally no. Play the machines and have fun. Keep them clean.

Is there a recommended set of balls that are considered better?

Quoted from acedanger:

Oh I just thought of something keep games away from direct sunlight or else art will fade; kidding about games if you're happy then it's all good.

Good call on the art fade. We are actually having all our game rooms windows tinted this weekend for that reason. Plus we have black out shades on them

Put them on quality surge protector.

Good call for all electronics
