Good price for a very underrated machine. Play, music and light show are all top notch.

Ha. But in all seriousness, I just picked up my first SST and did a full tear down / shop out and I REALLY enjoy the game! Bang for your buck, I would I highly recommend it!

(and the fact he already shopped it out with LED's e.t.c. will save you a good 10 hours of your life removing / re-installing ramps!)

I left the ones on the left side of the ramp because my purple alternative led looked like hell. The resst of them did take awhile to be sure. Fattrain I used blue 3 prong led's under the "BUG" section and the orbit lights. I've got color changing leds behind the cannons which looks pretty cool. The rest of them I just bought LEDS to match the playfield and I think it looks pretty good. I put some superbrights underneath the pop up brain bug (red and green) to give it a more alien look. I found a burned out flasher so I'll be changing that tonight.

Lol! I should have said thanks for such quick trade offers. All three pins I've never played before which kind of shocks me. Looks like I'll be hitting you tube tonight and trying to figure out if they look like something I'd be interested in.

Not sure if I've ever watched a video for SF II (or if there's one out there), but you should know that after you 'defeat' each character, the DMD displays your choice of two modes, then you select which one you want with your flipper. I know sometimes gameplay video doesn't show the DMD, so that's just a heads up!

It must be kind of nice having a bunch of pins thrown at your feet saying "choose me! choose me!"

Yeah, I always wanted a SST, and I missed out on one a few months ago because I didn't have the $$$. I had never even played it until this weekend, and I loved it! Super fast, not overly complex, but not just mindless flipping either. That small flipper definitely bugs you until you get used to it!

I think it's to remind the player it's actually there.. you get more points if you use it (like Demoman's triggers).

Not really. It would be a ton of EXTRA work for me, tearing everything down to remove the goddamned LEDs and replace them with bulbs. (Had to do that with my WWF RR and it was a PITA)

Normally when I hear that I think of Startrek and it is searchable by SST on IPDB.org so I use that.

All GI bulbs and some controlled lamps are actually staple/wire braided into the PF and can only be accessed from the topside UNDER the ramp system. It's something you don't want to have to replace often so even if you're an LED hater, it might be worth getting frosted warm whites just so you don't have to do massive tear-down's in the future to change a single bulb... Just my 2 cents.

A purist! That's cool. My personal taste is that this is a sci-fi game and the leds add an extra futuristic pop to the game. I was under the impression they were less hard under the playfield but could be wrong.

Thanks for the trade offers, I looked all of them up on you tube last night and I don't think they're something I'm interested in at this point. I would be interested in a Black Rose, WCS, Congo, FH, Class of 1812 and possibly some others I haven't played. Thanks guys!

Thanks for the quick reply, Hawk.

After the new home purchase, I'm hoping there will be enough $$ left to still pick up SST for your cash price. Not sure if you are planning (or already) the Craigslist route, but if you could wait a week and a half- I'll have a clear idea if I can pick up SST from you.

best of luck!

Amen to that... a burnt out bulb drives me nuts, and the thought of removing all those ramps again just to replace a single bulb scares the crap outta me. Stupid multi-layer plastics and inter-weaved ramps..

It's not so bad, but it's a little tricky. The Jukebox mounts through the backboard. On system 11 games they don't slide forward like they do on WPC games. What you have to do is slide the playfield forward off the bracket, use a 2x4 to support it on the edge of the game. When you go to slide it back, you actually have to drop it back into the pivot mech.

Now, those instructions are referencing how to take the jukebox off. I don't recall if you have to remove the whole thing. Either way, it's not bad. If you have to take the jukebox off, get an extra set of hands.

Yeah, that's a valid point. Removing the mini-pf on WWF RR and getting under there was a massive PITA! Wouldn't want to do it again...
