Several have asked the best place to trigger the UV+Glow for Deadpool. I have found the Wolverine spinner to be the best for that.

It’s the spinner at the top left that connects to the left loop. There are many other spots to trigger from too so it’s all personal preference. I have used this location for the best results and it also works extremely well in this spot in conjunction with the Orion’s Belt flashers (triggered from other flasher locstions but you could use it here instead too) for a really impressive light show that elevates this game even more!

Okay some really great news for this week's Pin Stadium booth at Chicago Expo.

As you know there will be 20 pinball machines on display and available to play with our product line in each of them. Bill Webb from Special When Lit Podcast https://specialwhenlitpinballpodcast.libsyn.com is going to transform his Transformers LE with the Pin Stadiums and the UV+Glow!! Ken Cromwell his partner in crime will be there too.

The world famous Zach ZMeny and Greg Hollywoodbone from SDTM https://www.facebook.com/sdtmpinball will be hanging out at the booth and signing autographs along with their new shirts that are now on sale!! Heck have them sign the shirt and it will double in value instantly (Market Trends Tip of the Week)

Jeff pin2d from This Week In Pinball https://thisweekinpinball.com will be paying some regular visits there. You can play "Where's Waldo" with him per Zach and see if you can find him. I will give a $50 gift card to the first person that is able to locate this information powerhouse in the Pinball industry.

Robert Berk who is the head chairman and one of the original founders of Expo is going to give us the pick of the litter. He is bringing about 85 beautiful pinball machines from his massive collection and he said Pin Stadium gets to choose which of those will fill the rest of the booth. If you guys have any preferences to "Cherry Pick" the games you would like to see at the booth please post it up here or email me at [email protected]

This is going to be a huge event and we are so excited to see you all this week!! Also for any collectors or operators interested in getting some really in depth insight as to what we are doing for the pinball industry (past, present and FUTURE) there is a seminar on Friday at 1:45pm EST in the River Ball Room worth checking out.

I will personally be demonstrating the technology, easy install process, talk about benefits and tips for collectors on how to get the most out of your games, use the app, and also help to guide operators who are currently using or considering Pin Stadiums for increasing coin-drop revenue while adding that "dazzle" to their customer's experience. It should be a fun filled day and hope to you see you all at the show!

Sorry busy day guys loading up the trailer full of games and product. Thank you for managing this thread for me!! Leaving first thing in the morning tomorrow to Expo. See you all there!!

Sorry for the delay just got done unloading at Expo and setting up now. The new HD Magna-Mounts work with those fine, you just need to raise slowly and it will clear. Also they do not each put the Power Bladez at all and they are are great combination. Joe from Pin Graffix agrees it is a wicked combination I hope this helps.

No worries they work awesome together promise you will be very pleased. I have a lot of customers that do both very regularly.

This is the first I have heard of this but I know what you are seeing. The Power Bladez and Pin Stadiums are not connected and run as independent units.

What you are seeing is when the Pin Stadiums are off during certain modes because of the GI module properly syncing them, the Power Bladez are still running their constant pattern in those brief moments (since they do not sync with the G.I.) and the lights from them are lighting up the LED housings on the Pin Stadiums making it look like they are on.

It is not a Pin Stadium issue but there are two fixes for this. One would be to re-wire your Power Bladez to trigger off of the GI or you can get Invisible-Shields for the Pin Stadiums (if you don’t have them already) to help shield that light a bit.

The first option is the best solution though. I hope this helps and makes sense.

It looks to be the UV LED housing picking up the lights from the Power Bladez. It makes them look like it is on for those brief moments. The LED lens and housing is sensitive and is picking up that light causing that effect. That is why when you move them it goes away. Shoot me an email to [email protected] and I will put you in touch with a good customer that has them on his AC/DC too or you can messaged him here: bmegar

I will be sure to post up some pics and information here for sure. We are the first booth right in front of this years new main entrance. So we have a great bird’s eye view of all the happening.

So it’s 6:30am here at Expo and all is quiet on the western front “for the moment”. Setting up banners in the front area I was able to get some pics. I was one of the first vendors setting up yesterday and was able to see some American Pinball setting up but no Oktoberfest machines “yet”. Stern was not setup as they are doing that today. There’s a different energy here at Expo and it’s a good one. The vendor hall layout is incredible and things feel new and fresh.

Think we are in for an incredible Expo and I will post up here my behind the scenes experience periodically throughout the day. If I can snap some good pics I will do that too!!

Here is the scene right now:

Also just got the first Pin Stadium install on a Spooky Alice Cooper’s Nightmare Castle (ACNC). The results are nothing short of spectacular!! A very happy customer sent me these pics. Check it out:

I understand what you are saying now. Can you send me an underside picture of where you are connecting the UV+Glow? The machine controls the flasher portion and not the app. Somewhere along the line you are getting voltage from the machine and it’s likely the location or connection. I put mine on the lighting bolt flashers. The right lightning bolt on the left ramp.

The vendo hall is starting to fill up with vendors and booths are coming together. T-Minus 5:19 and counting!!

It is going to be a really great show folks

That example that you mention tells us that most any of our devices are getting some kind of feedback current from our house lines and the UV+Glow is sensitive enough in that instance to show it. That’s why it’s really important to use a power and surge protector for lighting strikes or power surges to protect our pretty machines.

Yes that sounds like it exactly.

The Expo has been really fun event so far as day 1 of 3 has come to a close. Yesterday was rather eventful with the anticipated reveal of Oktoberfest and Monster Bash Remake. They both look very nice and these two companies have done a superb job.

SDTM has some great coverage and it’s worth checking out:

Just announced, special Expo code for 15% discount off "ALL" Pin Stadium products today and tomorrow (Fri & Sat).

Use code "cexpo15" and this applies to the 2nd Limited run of Orion's Belt that was just announced this morning!

If you guys are at the show please stop by and say hi. Ton's of machines to play...

Thank you for the post and kind words. Glad that you stopped by for the event and seminar too. Much appreciated!

Spiderpin is correct. Orion’s Belt first run sold out and now another limited 2nd run was just announced at Expo. So the Pinball Expo discount of 15% that is active this weekend “cexpo15” applies to all Pin Stadium products sitewide.

Okay so some funny things to mention.

There are still many that do not know about Pin Stadiums and when they come to the booth they think they are just playing at a Free Play section since the booth is large with so many games. They will then walk up to me and ask why these games look so different and not like theirs . I then tell them about the Pin Stadium and turn them off and in and show them the UV+Glow.

Then now with Orion’s Belt there are Pin Stadium customers coming to the booth and they are playing DPLE and IMDN LE but don’t realize they have the Orion’s installed. Then they come up to me and say that they already have Pin Stadiums with the UV+Glow and love the results but they don’t know whytheir machine doesn’t the same.

I then proceed to tell them that Orion’s Belt is installed and give them a demo of them and show them where they are installed since you can’t see them with the Stealth Mount. Feedback and comments have been incredible and I am glad you all are loving the new product

It’s funny how this has happened so many times. If you are at the show please stop by and check them out as they really are impressive to see in person.

I want to thank everyone for stopping by and also for all of you guys that support this product so tremendously!! Without you this would not be possible.
