Quoted from Pimp77:

Getting built in navigation is a total rip-off. Usually about a grand to do that. I'll stick with my $80 garmin.

I agree. It's just an example.

Quoted from Grinder901:

Can someone recommend a decent sub for me? Would best buy have one?

I bought this one at Best Buy. I didn't want to wait to have one shipped. It sounds awesome.

They did price match Amazon for me though.

Quoted from NightTrain:

Yes it has ramp protectors. I don't use Cliffys in the shooter lane, mylar does just fine IMO.

Can you post a picture of your mylared shooter lane?

Sure. I'll snap when when I get home. Give me a few hours. Working for the man now...

I ran some speaker wire out of the same hole that the power cord comes out of...connected speaker wire to cabinet speaker using alligator clips...

Sold!! Going right now to get mine. How did you hook it up? Alligator clips and wires like Cosmo?

#758 9 years ago
Quoted from DylanFan71:

I know the numbers on the playfield aren't supposed to mean anything but mine says Ironman Pro 2014 (#329 of 510)

I would guess. Somewhere ~500 but No real way to tell. Could try and figure it out via SN's but I don't know if they built anything else in the middle.

#760 9 years ago

Got mine delivered today in the AM. Did a quick check for damage, and all appears quite well. But sadly I have to wait until tonight to set it up and play!

#761 9 years ago

I just got the call. Delivery is set for tomorrow!!

#762 9 years ago
Quoted from JohnDelNJ:

Good news! Mine is at the place but no call so hopefully soon.

#763 9 years ago

So walked in to Best Buy, they don't carry that model of sub anymore locally but if I can be patient, he can ship it to me for free shipping and it will only cost $48.06. Same model and everything. Thanks!

#764 9 years ago

I'm getting jealous of all ya'll who've had your machine. Get moving Stern!!!

#765 9 years ago
Quoted from Grinder901:

Solder it directly to to the wires connected to the sub, at the sub. I tried soldering it above them and it didn't work, the speaker just crackled....was kind of weird. So I soldered the wires directly to the existing ones and it works great. have fun!

How did you get that sub for only $48.06 ?

#767 9 years ago

How cool is that if they sold 500 pins, in this economy with so many start ups and future pins to compete with, such as MMR and TH and Predator.

Good job Stern, well played.

No kidding! Too much happiness going on around here without me involved

i bet you get your's before i get mine.

It's my fault though.

#770 9 years ago

I posted this question 9 weeks ago could Stern sell another 500 IM pins, and I said at Stern pro prices not premium - LE mark ups.

Looks like I may have hit the nail on the head.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/could-stern-sell-another-500-im-pins

On my poll 210 people said they would or might buy one and 70 said no way must have been 70 prior owners.

#771 9 years ago

hah just jumped from page 8 to 16 to catch up, people still talking about subs

If only I were as good at other predictions. I would have bought Tesla stock 2 years ago.

Quoted from mmlpin1:

Hmmm I'm not an audiophile. Admittedly I know very little about speakers or amps or subs. Seems like I didnt get the exact same because his said 100W and mine says 150W. I haven't a clue the difference. Is mine still a good sub? Bought some speaker wires as well.

If it was already in the planning stages at that point, can you imagine the WTF in their office?

Quoted from DCfoodfreak:

I'm assuming we have the same carrier. I called today and scheduled delivery for tomorrow. Try and call them, if it's at the Richmond terminal they can schedule delivery.

#781 9 years ago

Thanks , mine is at Winchester. I will look up their number in the morning. Odd to ship to two locations when so close.

#782 9 years ago

Mine is in Baltimore could be here tomorrow but they never called me to schedule yet.

I noticed that too.. The number should have been in my tracking email.. Need me to look it up for ya?

Call them.. I always recommend you call them. Otherwise it sits on someones desk until they get around to it

Mines probably sitting next to yours.

#786 9 years ago

Just called to schedule, I'm glad I did since they had my phone number wrong. Looks like Friday is my day!

#787 9 years ago

JJ, if you could check my pm and let me know your thought. Thanks!

Thanks for the number. Looks like the tag was messed up and they can't read it so its stuck there in limbo : (

#790 9 years ago

Mine arrived about 2pm today. Born-on data of 7/17. Same birthday as my dad .

Looks great. Set it up and played a quick game, but I haven't got it to the final spot or leveled it.

I called the bleepers, they said it has just got there and they would call me back later in the day but they never called me. I'm kind of POed because the weekend is coming up and I need to schedule it so someone is home.

Freight Companies are so much fun. I would call them again. They won't let me schedule deliveries only the receiving party sadly. If you can't get movement from them let me know and I will push from my end.

#793 9 years ago

Awww hell right! IM! Mine isn't a VE, but I'm posting anyway. Still loving my IM. Just updated to the new led code a few minutes ago. Love it! I like how they added some insert action into the light shows... like when you start Whiplash multi ball and all of the insert lights spiral out from where whiplash is located on the playfield. Very cool.

I hooked up an Infinity IL100s 250 watt sub to my IM recently. Let's just say that I may or may not have crapped my pants the last time I started Jericho... Makes such a difference! I already have the Flipper Fidelity kit, too., No sound better in a pin than IM in my opinion! It deserves to be hooked up right! A shaker is also a must!

I also have the original IM. Could you break it down for a newb on how to update the code? Flash drive? Where do I plug it in the pin? I'm assuming somewhere behind the Translite.

Well damn, I've got one of those. I could just buy a simple sub plug and forgo the speaker wires and clips. Interesting....

Yeah, just download the code zip file from Stern's website. Then extract the .bin file to a USB stick. Plug it into the board on the right behind the translite. Flip the dip switch #8 on that board and follow the instructions on the display. Wait for it... Done!

Quoted from pinnation:

I tried....but my camera won't pick it up. You can't see it. I just use slingshot Mylar right where the ball kicks out. Rounded side faces the kickout. Flat side faces the wood rail. Use a razor blade to cut out around the switch. Easy peasey!
