---ScreenXL for Stern Spike Machines---

Video:

***First let me disclaim, I do not make or sell these. This is a prototype that was graciously sent to me to install and test, from the good folks at Tu Pinball in Madrid. They’re passionate pinheads like us, and are really proud to introduce this to the community. I promised I’d review it, showcase it, and help them get the word out. They’re committed to producing and selling these soon if the demand is there. I cannot answer questions about ordering, lead times, or anything regarding sales and production. That’s for them to discuss with anyone who wants to inquire. Any sales, technical, or other related questions can be directed to Oscar Terol at [email protected]. That said, I’m only here to show off and discuss what I was given.***

This is ScreenXL. It’s a full plug and play, enlarged and upgraded LCD Display and speaker panel for Stern Spike machines. It includes a significantly larger 18.5” display (Vs. 15.6” stock), a custom built speaker panel with upgraded and slimmer Pioneer speakers, plus all the accessories you need to install, move the existing lock (making room for the screen), as well as secure the other side of the panel. The quality is beyond fantastic, and it looks and feels fully factory.
Needless to say, pics do not do this thing justice. You have to see it for yourself to fully appreciate how awesome it is. The larger display has a considerable impact on the aesthetics of the game, makes reading the information infinitely easier, sounds way better than the stock speakers, and it just looks cool as hell. Overall it really changes the playing experience. It was fairly simple to install (maybe 30min-1hr, depending on your skillset), and doesn’t require anything but a few common tools. The only negative I can think of is that all my other Spike screens feel small now.

At this time, it’s $650usd for the complete kit, plus tax & international shipping from Spain. In my opinion, that’s an incredible value, especially in context of the price of some mods that don’t have a fraction of the functionality. And let’s be honest, it costs less than most any toppers out there today. I’m not a big mod guy myself, but this is one I’d put on all my Stern Spike games.

I know it sounds like I’m trying to sell it, but they asked me to speak honestly about it. So that’s my sincere review, and also reflects the overwhelming player reactions just in the first days of it being seen by the NYC pinball Community. So if it’s something you’d want for your game, feel free to text Oscar at the previously mentioned email he provided.

If you have any feedback (and i'm sure you will! feel free to comment below. Tu Pinball will be monitoring this thread, and appreciates hearing from you.

If anyone wants to see it in person, come by Jackbar anytime. We’ll be rockin’ it on our Godzilla Premium going forward.
Thanks for checking it out…

I'm not certain. that's a good question. I'd suggest emailing Oscar at the email address in the post.

I'm not really familiar with the technical specs, unfortunately. I can only say that it just seems to me like a bigger version of what comes with the machine, and the picture quality is fantastic. We've put hours on it so far, and never experienced any failure. But Oscar at Tu Pinball would be the better person to ask.

not on the one pictured, as it's an early sample unit. but they're familiar with the concern and say they plan to implement it in the future.
