I'll be working on the pieces for the Pro model tomorrow.

Marissa is out until next Wednesday, so overall progress will be a bit slower this week (though we just shipped 12 Elvira sets yesterday, which was last week's focus).

The current STh run is Prem/LE, but the following run will go back in order with Pros in the mix.

Back into full swing as of yesterday.

Eventually I'll post an update with a timeline prediction, but I likely won't have a clear idea until sometime in Oct. (once I can time a couple runs without Elvira sets in the mix, and by then I'll also have more help [have recently been rearranging the house, stacking printers, etc. to make it more practical for 3+ of us]).

Those that will ship from the current run will be messaged this weekend.

I ship to Germany, and anywhere that doesn't have a restriction.

Those with * will ship soon. Currently holding 4 sets back toward a distributor allotment of 5 that was promised early on.

The upcoming run will be 100% Pro versions.

At a glance, from player perspective, they'll look nearly identical.

Pro won't fit a Prem/LE, as it has the Power Box finished on the left side, where the metal opto cover finishes the look on the Prem/LE.

Prem/LE is also stabilized on the left by the opto assembly plastic. On the Pro, it's stabilized from underneath the middle platform.

Will update with photos when I can.

That's in regard to the UV kit.

Yes.

You'll be in the next shipment.

Going to be attempting to complete all of the Elvira sets this month if possible (got a bit more added on the final call than I hoped), while still making progress here as I can. Will be a bit more manageable once 100% focus is on STh.

These are the Pro back walls (before wiring and final platform assembly).

Difference is the power box is filled out compared to the Prem/LE that is finished off in appearance by the factory metal opto shield.

As most recent effort has been directed toward closing out Elvira asap, we're on pace to have all of the remaining Elvira sets finished this week, ahead of the projection.

Will be 100% on Stranger Things starting next week.

After the current STh run, the following two runs should give a fair idea on timeline estimates (perhaps adding another on board for part time help in Oct. if works out for them).

Will update here soon, or after any complications the hurricane may cause.

Otherwise, all final run Elvira sets have been completed and shipped.

Thank you.

And I appreciate everyone's patience here as I chose to pause production a bit here and focus on putting Elvira behind us, though some progress has been made here in the background as well.

Here's the final Elvira set that's being donated to Project Pinball for the charity auction at Expo. Several unique aspects to this 1 of 1 set, with some extra time put into the details.

Sorry to hear about the rail.

While they were tested with balls thrown into them and no issues, over the last few weeks, I've tested a few other materials and print methods for the rails to make them a bit stronger, so hopefully no such issues in the future (though they are a relatively thin plastic, so handling with care on install is advised as you note).

That testing/change was the main thing I was referring to when noting background progress in the previous post.

The current process on the rails also dropped the print layers from .1mm to .06mm, and they're now printed in white (previously black). That super fine layer height allows for the rails to be sprayed once instead of twice to achieve the same finish, which should save a lot of time over the course of the runs, though it does now take 15 hours to print 14 rails (2 sets worth), but much of that can happen through the night.

-----------------

Otherwise, if there's ever any issues, I always guarantee my mods for repair/replacement if necessary, even the discontinued ones.

Surprising indeed, as many have attempted to bribe me to cut the line , but I've kept it honest.

GLWTS

I had considered Alien, but there's lots of games I'd like to get to once I have time, so it may be unlikely.

Would have been hard for me to justify a Prem/LE with current pricing (got mine before it got crazy), but it's become my favorite Stern, so I also can't foresee selling it.

I'll message those from the current Pro run sometime this week.

The following run is also in progress (6 Pros and 1 Prem), and should be complete sometime next week (would cover up to #34 by then).

Should have a better projection by the end of the month.

Before now, we were juggling Elvira sets, amongst other unexpected hurdles.

We'll be on consecutive Stranger Things sets from here, so they'll be produced faster now.

You are on the list--#216
