#1903 4 years ago
Quoted from Classics_Master:

Hey guys, just noticed something interesting on my original Quicksilver backglass... I noticed that the “Match” wasn’t lighting up, even though the lamp is good and on.

Is there a possibility the back glass is a repro of some sort or has been restored at some stage in its life and they overlooked it in the process, Just a stab in the dark thought, but a really nice backglass you have there.

Quoted from frunch:

Where is everyone buying flipper rebuild kits from? It seems the kits i bought from pinball life for my Seawitch 4-5 years ago are already starting to wear out. I began noticing at some point the flippers weren't moving back to their resting position sometimes. After trying a bunch of stuff, i swapped over the flipper mechs from my Nine Ball and that fixed the problem. Not sure if anyone else has had this experience with pinball life flipper rebuilds for these games, but it seems like a fairly short life span for the parts. Maybe that's par for the course these days, though.

If you don't already know Pinball Life have complete Stern Flipper assembly's available now.

Quoted from northvibe:

Hahah, yeah it wasn’t the warm fuzzy feeling I was going for, knowing my game had power..

Have done the same thing, except 220-240V gives you a lovely kick. Did it twice in 1 hour before I walked away for the night.

Quoted from cottonm4:

I offered the link as a ready reference for all of the Stern pins in order of their production, with a small pic to help you ID which Stern it is

All good no worries, just letting people know that the particular link was dead.

#3720 3 years ago
Quoted from woody76:

Second ups package with destroyed product this week

That would piss me off, and Dracula is not an easy title to find. Was that a BGresto glass.

#3722 3 years ago
Quoted from woody76:

No, just a decent original. it sucks

Even worse, I have been looking for a decent original Dracula backglass for about 2 years to no avail.

All Stern Solid State could be scratch built really, the only one that would be near impossible would be Viper because of the round turret in the center of the playfield, Ramps could be made for Iron Maiden, Split Second and Lightning.

#4475 3 years ago
Quoted from dothedoo:

F2K, Freefall and Iron Maiden ball walkers would be a challenge.

Good point, forgot about those , thanks for the memory reboot, would still be a great thought though.

Someone mentioned in this thread or another thread and I can't remember who it was (sorry) and don't quote me on it, that these were a near perfect replacement. I remember saving it as I will need to buy some at some stage.
