I have a used AC/DC (mint condition) and like it so much that I would like to upgrade it to a brand new Premium (are these still in production?). Do you guys know the best way to do this, or a distributor that makes this kind of deals? I live in Miami, FL.

I have a couple premiums left, PM Me if interested

Premium is the ducks nuts, good luck so much better then the pro

Here, let me go ahead and list the typical canned responses to that:

-- "But the Pro is better because it's SOOOOO much faster than the Premium."

-- "The Premium isn't worth the extra $2,000. I'd rather use that money to buy another machine!"

-- "Just buy the Pro and mod it, brah. That'll make it BETTER than the Premium."

I see no reason for this to turn into a pro vs. premium argument. The OP prefers the premium, and that's all that matters.

Premiums are still available from most distributors. I got the best price from CoinTaker.

Best price is Trent at Tilt amusements. Depending on inventory he may take a trade as well.

Yeah! The Pro is a real piece of shit! What a crap pin. Only girls and sailors have that game! Yeah! High fives all around!

I love my Pro.

I really like the pro but I love the premium. Its like going to hang out with a girl your taking out and her roommates there and she's way hotter like damn missed opportunity.

Go the Premium. You'll get that lovely Ironman lower playfield thats as useless as tits on a bull.

You aren't doing it right!

I would love to upgrade my HUO heavily modded Pro for a Premium. If there are any distributors or pinheads that have a HUO (with clear lower playfield window) or NIB where we can work a trade + cash...please shoot me a PM. Thanks!

The pro is amazing...but the premium yes is JUST THAT GOOD.

Maybe, but it still plays like garbage and isn't fun. Get me back to the main playfield now please.

lol what are you expecting from a mini playfield? There are great scoring opportunities down there.

If you can afford the upgrade to a premium definitely do it. I am very happy I held out and ended up with a Premium machine in the long run.

Whatever the case, ACDC is simply a great machine and I have no doubt that thanks to ACDC, Stern would be in a very good place at the moment and can hopefully consistently increase the budget on future machines. It wouldn't surprise me at all if in 20-30 years ACDC is likened to Space Shuttle as being a machine that went a long way to guaranteeing pinball's future.

Agreed for sure......and a thumbs up for you

Are they still manufacturing Pros/Premium? Reason why I ask is I would like to get a latest production run NIB sometime early next year.

Think they have stopped making these now
