Yes, I have seen alternates sold on Ebay from time to time. I think they go for about $100.
I buy LEDs directly from a China. Lots cheaper that way. I don't know the company name right off but I could get it to you tonight.

Just curious as to the type of LED. 1 SMD, 2 SMD, frosted, or clear, etc.

Thanks, I will just have to keep my eyes open for them!
Quoted from GoBlue:Here is the place to talk everything Sopranos! Underrated Stern pin by Gomez and Sheats. A lot of fun, especially for Sopranos fans. Will update thread with pictures of my machine. Show off yours!

I should have just tried buying JD and Sopranos from you when I bought three of your pins. I didn't realize how fun of a game Sopranos was until I got a chance to play a nice one. It is the same layout basically as LOTR but to me at least it feels less like chopping wood.

Not really chopping wood until your only rank left is boss. Have to do everything the game offers and there is a lot. I've gotten underboss so many times, never been close to boss.
Is anyone doing a run on Sopranos plastics anytime soon? Mine are pretty good except for the lane shooter plastic is home mode.
Few pics from the machine I picked up, needs a good clean but otherwise pretty good.

Quoted from bellbrand:I am possibly looking to pick one up what is the going rate? Undocumented HUO it seems to be in good condition. 3500?
Good deal. Do it.
Quoted from bellbrand:I am asking the going rate?
Oh I thought that was the asking price. $3,500-$4,000 for a game in pristine shape. Anything over $4k better be breathtaking if you ask me.

I'm at 3800 but across the country.
Quoted from Spies:Are there ever going to be repro plastics done for this? I'm now in need of two lower slingshots and a couple of other plastics.
Just joined the club.. Sopranos came in a couple weeks ago from Italy. It's rough outside but pf is good. Couple questions.. Anyone know about getting a couple parts:
New lower fish jaw. Seems to be out of stock is this unobtanium now?
Dancer. Probably out of luck I'm guessing..
Cab decals??
And any alt translate?
Thanks!!
I am having a problem where the safe only registers being hit 1 in 20 times. When I push on the front of the safe with my hand it works fine but cant hit it hard enough (or in the right spot) while playing a game. Has this happened to anyone else? Any way to fix?

Quoted from matt_adams:Translite here
http://www.pinballwizard.nl/contents/en-us/d1106_The_Sopranos_Stern_flipperkast_translite_alternatief.html
I am sure I have seen the dancers somewhere, marco?
Sweet! thanks for the link on the translite!
Fish lower jaw came back in stock at marco, lucked out.
Dancer -- found it on amazon.. not exact match but you wouldn't know it if you didn't know what was supposed to be there.
Quoted from cosmokramer:I had this issue and replaced the micro switches in the safe and its worked perfect since...also check switch wires for bad connection/breaks as this area moves around a lot and puts stress on wires
Got the problem fixed. It was a few broken wires
I had this game for a year and loved it. Great theme and deep enough. It did get a bit easy and ball times were long but call outs were top notch. More people need to try it and add it to your collection. You won't be sorry.
Quoted from hlaj78:I love mine. It's the only game I own that I haven't completed the wizard mode. Been to the boss mode many times but haven't completed it yet.
I cannot wait to own this to see if I can get to Boss mode. the one that I always used to play on location I never came close.

Just seeing this thread now. Thanks for creating it. Added LED's and ordered LEDOCD. Ordered GIGizmo a few days ago. With the cold weather coming soon, maybe I will find time to get them installed.
I've got images stashed somewhere of Sopranos done up in red trim. Need to get them posted here for motivation.
