I went with a Pro from the upcoming January run which should be hopefully arriving shortly. I'm adding a bunch of fun stuff to it which brings up the total $$$ to basically a stock Premium, maybe even a little more.

But it's all personal and you really can't go wrong whatever you choose!

1. Total light show mod (replicates the awesome Premium GI light show)
2. Color DMD
3. Pinball Refinery purple armor w/ laser cut Metallica logos on side rails and hinges
4. Creeping death lighting mod and side blades.
5. Shaker Motor
6. External Sub w/ Pinnovator hook-up kit
7. Pinball Decals chrome shooter rod assembly

Quoted from Gorno:

Hopefully you get yours earlier than me. I have been impatiently waiting since the 13th of January. Starting to get really antsy. Not expected to get stock in Canada until February 10th at best.

January 13th? Shhhhhheee-it. I ordered my Pro in NOVEMBER! It's finally on the way, I imagine yours should be shortly. Can't wait to get her up and running with the total lightshow mod!

I've had my pro for a couple weeks now... Such a sick game. I've installed an absurd amount of lighting mods, gonna put in my Cliffy's tonight. So the only thing left to mess around with are the songs. Anybody have any cool alt. music roms they'd be willing to share? Looking to replace some of the slower stuff, but I'm open to anything... Even a full replacement... some King Diamond perhaps? Maybe a little Darkthrone? Please PM me if you have any links, thanks rockers!

Quoted from EEE:

Does anyone have a source for the transluscent apron inserts on a premium/le? I need one of each.

Think you have to order an entire premium plastic kit, about $120. I could be wrong though, maybe available separately?

Quoted from AJB4:

AND also has the different colors of gi with varying lighting schemes ---> PLUS the SPINNERS!!!! Which to me make the premium the one to go for...

My pro w/ total light show + spinners begs to differ

#12317 6 years ago

Thanks! You premium guys still get the hammer lock, rising cross and interactive snake. And your spinners are tied into the code unlike mine. It really is one of the best values for a premium in the Stern lineup.

If anybody every wants to upgrade their pro, it’s around $400 and a day’s worth of work to install the light show and spinners.

#12333 6 years ago

What's your disagreement? I stated that it's possible to add the multi-colored GI and non code integrated spinners into a pro, and that the premium has a bunch of other cool stuff that are worth it to some folks and not to others. I couldn't have been less argumentative haha. WHY ARE WE ARGUING?!?!?!

Quoted from bent98:

I’m not arguing , I was attempting to be witty.

Oh no worries I was doing the same haha. Nice machine!

Quoted from delt31:

Pro is an absolute mess especially.

Well, that's just like, your opinion man

Mine has been, and continues to be, the most played game in my collection!

#12346 6 years ago
Quoted from delt31:

yep - def my opinion only. Glad you're enjoying it. Biggest disappointment for me.

A polarizing game for sure!

#12347 6 years ago

Super jealous of your Alien btw, was blown away when I finally played one over the Holidays! Oh, and back on topic, Metallica rules

Quoted from pghpinfan:

I am joining the club this weekend but read in a thread that a few runs had playfield chipping issues. Is this true? If so how can you determine if the machine has the bad playfield

It has chips in it haha. Seriously, if its had some play and everything looks good you're golden. The runs with chipping are a few years old.

After a harsh 8 months without my pro I'm back in the club with a premium which I'm grabbing this weekend!

It comes with a few uninstalled mods I won't be using... I went crazy modding my old one and think I'm more of a stock guy now (well, aside from color DMD of course). PM me if interested in any of this stuff and I'll cut some deals.

Spinny Vinny hammer w/ silver leaf paint upgrade (never used), pinbits fluorescent yellow plastic protectors (full set), Snake ramp mod w/ plastic and decal (Premium/LE only, won't fit pro), and the Pingraffix EL creeping death Powerbladez (again, never installed).

Here's what the hammer looks like installed in a random machine, and here's the actual mods.
