The Sopranos
Stern, 2005Quoted from Edenecho:An interesting thing happened yesterday, dont know if its a scoring bug or something, but when i was playing single ball, I managed to open safe and hit the safe on the third level (good earner?) and ...10 million! Is this normal, what could have caused this massive scoring for level 3 safe?
Interesting ... I don't recall seeing that yet.
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:Interesting ... I don't recall seeing that yet.
Did you open the safe for three consecutive ranks?
Quoted from northvibe:Any protectors for the safe plastic?
None that I can see. A different seller has another clear plastic set, one with the Safe plastic that sits above the safe. Nothing for the actual plastic that covers the safe switches though. Link: ebay.com link: Clear Plastic Set for STERN Sopranos Pinball Machine
My dad just picked up one of these last night, the seller also threw in a free firepower (that needs alot of tlc) Sopranos looks great and is a blast, only issue was the fishes jaw is missing and cant seem to find one in stock, any suggestions where I may find one?

If i were you I'd go to Home Depot and just get a variety pack. It's very inexpensive and you won't believe how often you'll use it.

I think I may have a variety pack.... I just never think of how much they shrink 
I'll post up after the deed is done

I just ordered one from Pinball Resource, in stock, $18 ^-^

18 bucks?!? Gonna order a spare!
Quoted from Edenecho:Under what circumstances do people actually break the poor fish's underjaw?
I would LOVE to know this, I've seen a few people need them, or replace them with a 3D print out. We got the machine used and the jaw was broken in the bottom of the cabinet. and it looks like it was broken more than once and re glued a few times. AFAIK the ball doesn't even come close to it during play. maybe falling balls when the machine is on it's end for transportation and the balls have not been removed? but even then, I figured the pole dancers would be in more trouble the the fish jaw
My jaw rattles loose over time from all the up/down action then eventually falls off. Tried thread lock but no better. Then I accidentally over tightened the screw and found out that it's really easy to crack the jaw that way, probably making the loosening issue worse.
retro refurbs is closed for the unforeseeable future. Anyone have the plastic behind the safe?
I did order a pinbits protector set, so that will help with any future stuff but man I got some cracked plastics :/

Didn't hear about this...

They seem open enough if you look at their website.
Quoted from Edenecho:They seem open enough if you look at their website.
Site was closed last week. He mentioned a vacation but shut down his Pinside account and such
Quoted from Toads:They are back open and trading.
A bit of a website change thats all.
ha they are! I need their sopranos kit 
Quoted from northvibe:ha they are! I need their sopranos kit
Yer I back ordered it last night. New stock arriving soon
Quoted from Toads:Yer I back ordered it last night. New stock arriving soon
Yay! I'll order now I have rebuilds for all the coil parts coming. Going to be a whole new game! Man is it a dog when I pulled it off route.
Quoted from vbobrusev:Somebody can scan for me 2 plastics which located on safe?
On the back of the safe?
I have the clear part, my colored part broke and I have a new one from retro refurbs. I also think someone scanned the color one in for me and posted it in this thread. I don't have time at the moment to search but I can later.
Quoted from vbobrusev:Somebody can scan for me 2 plastics which located on safe?
I got some repro safe and slingshot plastics and scanned them before fitting them. Hope they are good enough to help.
Looks like I’m about to join the club. Might be picking up a pretty much stock HUO Sopranos. The first thing I’m gonna do is a full LED conversion. Anybody have any recommendations on the different prepackaged LED Kits for this pin? Or a general idea of the types of LEDs you might have used to do your own? Some pics would be cool.

I still go by Pinball bulbs kits. That said, pretty easy one to do without a kit —lots of white GI and mostly color match inserts. Stage looks nice with an overhead led strip
Topshop'd my Sopranos yesterday, and added a playfield protector.
Was a little fuckering with learning what to remove how, but next time it will go quicker.
Added GI leds and then the protector, and put stuff back. Looks and feels great!
Indeed it looks good , there are few factors that can cause bad closing of safe a bad nyliner in my case one is in half also the white teflon blocks that are on a ballguide maybe guide is little bend to the outsides,or the 2 pin where the safehalfs are on that one is bend mostly the left one .. thats what i think.
Looking at your picture on the left side where the teflon L is on the guide , your guide on the topside seems bend abnormaly . Iam allmost sure that when you hold the two safe side together and look at how much space is between the L shaped teflon guide there will be on mine 2 or 3 millimeter space on both sides , so what iam going to do is take the L teflon pieces of the guides and dremel the side that is against the guide as much as the space is between the safe and L is now and sure problem will be gone forever .
Also the left pivot point of left safehalf is a little bend to the left by getting the most beating of the two ..
Does somebody also know are the safehalfs normal steel or are they hardend steel ? They look not hardend by me.
If they are not hardend iam going to do this to them to make them stronger , dont know if the steel ball is going to like it !?
Quoted from TiltDis:Just saw COLORDMD's video on YouTube. Wow! Does anyone have any other vids of color dmd on sopranos? Thoughts?
I have one installed - huge huge improvement, although I think that’s true on any game. Makes it look much more modern
Quoted from HighVoltage:Borrowing mbecker 's game wasn't good enough, and I took the opportunity to import a nice example from Italy. Currently playing in the original mafia's mother tongue feels amusingly realistic!
This is top 5 for me too.
How does yours play in comparison?
Quoted from Mbecker:How does yours play in comparison?
I only played a couple test games, but pretty similar, flips strong and all the shots flow well. Only thing I noticed was the safe could be a little more sensitive to hits. I need to put it through the ringer a bit more with some bigger games. Looking forward to LED and upgrade the audio. I guess I'll switch it to English too when the novelty wears off and doesn't amuse me anymore.
Quoted from Spies:Getting a ton of airballs off the stugots drop target, is there a fix besides disabling the damn thing?
Just joined the club
Getting crazy air balls off the left flipper
put some velco infront and behind the the target....it helps, but I can still get airballs that jump over slingshots to the outlane.
How to fix!

You need to shorten the drop target spring so its tighter
