My Trident. Also own a Meteor and Galaxy. They are Great pins! I want more classic Sterns but they seem to get snatched up quickly these days.

Love me some classic Sterns. Only one I have at the moment is a Big Game. The one I really want and is impossible to get is a Freefall. Supposedly they made 1300 of these, but I have only see and played one, and its awesome!

#55 5 years ago

Just recently got this. Back glass is mint and in a safe place. Waiting to set it up in my gameroom.

This has been on ebay for ages. Priced too high I think.

My goodness those are some GORGEOUS pins..............WOW!!!

#59 5 years ago

Just got my Viper back from the restorer. I've been playing very little else lately.

#60 5 years ago

I'm starting to firmly believe that once I get a bigger place and more room for pins I will have to have a classic Stern section.....

Looks awesome! Nice iron Maiden pin!! I have stargazer, Quicksilver, meteor, magic, and lightning. Had a nineball and seawitch.

#62 5 years ago

A little off topic but I figured you guys would know: why did classic Stern not succeed back then?? They seemed to have the best looking pins and some of the most innovative rules for the time, as well as using similar common parts as Bally.....were they too expensive, lacking distributors, or what??

Interesting question... maybe someone who was there in that time can answer... what I can tell from my perspective is classic stern is a lot cheaper than bally... Metal not as strong, etc... maybe operator was affraid of this...

Viper is a very fun pin, like all the classic stern, they have to be dialed to perfection to be really appraciated

#66 5 years ago

Only have one but I love it

That playfield looks mint! Is that original or restored? Awesome looking game, hopefully I'll finally get a chance to play one soon.

I spent about 1/48th of my life restoring that game. Well worth it and probably why I love playing it so much.

Bump. Cool thread.

#70 5 years ago

FREE: (partial) schematics for Stern Stingray.

I've got 3 large original pages of Stingray schematics that I have no use for. I will mail them to any US address free if anyone wants them.

NOT complete and these pages can be downloaded from IPDB, but maybe someone would want these. Send me a PM.

Catacomb grid - letters instead of numbers.

Loved hearing the story of how you got this. Nice job making it happen. It looks beautiful...

Ali #2. Can’t wait to diagnose it but I’m certain the crusty plugs are the booting problem.

I once had a Meteor. Wish I'd kept it. I just got my Big Game back together. Still a few bugs to work through.
