I'm in the club! Picked up a NIB Monster Premium a month ago from The Pinball Store AKA Automated Services in CT. This is my first pin. I ordered a Lebowski, but I guess I got the bug before it came in.
Loving it! It did need the magnet control board and I snapped a drop target the first night I got to really play it. I had an awesome experience with Mike the owner of the Pinball Store. Stern was great about sending out parts. Took some time to get them with the factory move, and I was traveling so I just got it all working this week.
My Mods so far are pingulps, sparky protector, and I put in some super shiney pinballs in it. Don't know how far I'll go.
I've been reading around here which helped with everything, so thanks to everyone in the community. I got myself an extra sparky that I'm painting... it's a work in progress. Will start a new thread and post some pics.
