Photos added.

Also, here's a video of the machine in action (before I added the mirror blades and the red DMD cover).

Too-soon-ish bump.

Decided I'll be willing to take cash on it as well. Trades make life easier (I bring the game out and another one in same-day), but I'll part with it for what I paid after some of the upgrades, $3800.

FYI, I have no way to transport this except for down my stairs and into your vehicle. I have all the tools to handle that (appliance dolly, straps, shrinkwrap), but have no way to transport it farther than that.

Added some of those Pinbits protectors at the high risk/wear areas today--both bottom slings, fish eject, right outlane guide, and the safe flasher.

Dropped the price to $3700--found a little more wear than I remembered (namely, under the safe). Might be willing to go $150 lower if I take out the LED OCD and GIzmo boards, I can install them in my next Stern.

Several people have reached out, but no one has responded after getting back to them. Is this the new hot trend in pinball?

Going to be looking for those Safe switches in a few, possibly a new boat and decals as well (it's only cracked at where it mounts).

*edit: Safe switches, replacement boat and decals ordered.

Every time I go to a show this game gets some of the most play. Most popular game at parties too. Can't believe this isn't going for $5k. GLWS.

Removed the LED OCD and GIzmo boards--can install them in the next Whitestar or SAM based game I get. Dropped price to $3,500 as a result.

Safe is fully functional now. Replaced the switches with new ones and realigned the entire mech. It's working great now.

Decided I'm going to move the game back to trade-only, as it plays totally different with a functional Safe and I'd like to spend time enjoying it before I part with it. If you have any Sterns you are looking to do an even trade with, shoot me a PM. Also open to other DMD games, but Sterns are at the top of my list (see the original post for specifics).

*Edit: Meant to mention that I added the LED OCD and GIzmo LED smoothing boards back in. Figured if I was going to be enjoying it for a bit, might as well include them.

Has anyone made an alt translite for Sopranos? That's one of the few things that holds me back from considering to buy or trade for this game. I didn't watch the show, so I don't care about the theme one way or another. But that translite of a bunch of actors just sitting around is awful and I wouldn't want to see their faces every time I walk downstairs in our bar. Not sure what alt artwork would work though?

Those other translites are a little better, but still so many sour pusses on each one.

If you have never watched the show and aren't a fan of those characters then I could see how the translite might not appeal to you. But If they were all sitting around with shit eating grins it just wouldn't look right. I loved the show. It helped start all of the incredible original programming on HBO etc. and it's still better than most of the shows that came after it.

I watched it as it aired in my 20s and 30s And at some point this fall/winter I think I'm going to go back and watch it again. I think I will appreciate it even more now. And playing a Sopranos pin in a bar is what began my interest in this hobby. Eventually I will have one in my home.

Thanks for the bumps guys. Contemplating taking down the listing though. With the Safe fully functional now, the game is a lot more fun to play. Might hold onto it for a while longer.

Not sure why Sopranos arent going for a lot more tbh. It's a great game and easily the most fun party game ever made.

2nd this. Loved the show also and if they were all smiling it wouldn't reflect the vibe correctly.

I just watched the video. I've heard of LED OCD. I'm not very familiar with the Gizmo board. But man they sure make the lighting look smooth!

Yeah they really do. I toss them in every Stern I get these days. Hard to live without them.
