Hello, KISS Army. In the unlikely event that any KISS owner is looking for an even trade and is near Pennsylvania, I'm interested in trading either my MBR LE or JP Premium for a KISS--any model of KISS is good as along as it's 100% working and has a Stern topper.

If interested, please PM me. If not, rock on.

Thanks for the response. I know it's a long shot . . .

And though I'm looking for an even trade on any KISS model, opinions on the current value of a KISS LE with a topper are welcome as well . . .

Thanks for these replies. Very helpful!

Finally joining the KISS Army. My LE, including topper, will arrive next week. Just 66 plays (or 666? ). Can't wait.

Tell me about the Gene Simmon's head. I see reference on ipdb to the head pivoting, but I haven't caught that feature on any of the video footage I've seen.

Thanks--that explains it.

Happy to have joined the KISS LE Army, thanks to a smooth sale from Nick at Planet Nine Pinball. Don't hate me, but the machine is routed in a local pizza shop. I've been routing a machine there for 10 years and the owner watches the machine like a hawk, so I've never had any concerns.

One question for LE owners. I've looked behind the cover in the backbox for a bill acceptor hookup, but there is none there. I have the necessary cable and have hooked up bill acceptors in many other Sterns, so I'm stumped. Does anyone have an explanation?

I appreciate the input. Yes, I removed that cover held on by three screws and looked and looked there, but there is simply no connector behind the box to hook the cable to. Everything else pictured is there, but not a connector.

Here is a photo with the power box cover removed on my KISS. No hookup in sight.

I really, really appreciate the suggestion, but my technical skills are moderate. Can you explain further?

That was correct, but the deal was already done as of Monday--sorry. I sold the MBR LE and bought a KISS LE.

Thanks for posting the video. I do appreciate it. It's somewhat helpful but actually skips past the technical hookup part and doesn't physically show how to accomplish it and on which of the orange-capped wires to achieve the hookup. So I wrote to Stern tech support with my photo and I got this answer from Patrick Powers.

"I’m suspecting your game has an international power harness and that is why you’re missing the additional harness connector. Please give me you mailing address and game’s serial number and I will send you the correct harness."

I'll update this post once the harness arrives and hopefully it will supply an easy solution.
