Just picked up Sopranos yesterday. Replaced all lights with LED's. Then found some that I missed, replaced them. Played a few games and noticed I missed somemore. Job complete now. Need a switch for the safe, all the plastic was intact. Played a 4 player game with others and it had team SCORE. I contacted Stern about this (team play) on my Aerosmith. Was told it's not implement, why not Stern. How do you find out what version is on this machine. Thanks

Quoted from Meloyelo51:

Thanks for the referral. I've have had several people ask so I added a listing. PM is fine too. The 8MB sound chips are a little more, but shipping covers everything ordered at the same time. I found this thread as alimerick was asking about the swearing and looking for his answer but apparently he already asked. Normally most games hover around sound 1.0...but it does look like older roms can affect the swearing and went through changes (in addition to the settings being correct or even available)

Quoted from Spelunk71:

While Cliffy doesn’t make protectors specifically for Sopranos (he told me he hasn’t had access to a playfield), I discovered the protector he makes for the GB Scoleri Bros. drop targets fits the Stugots target perfectly.
I have an extra one if anyone wants it.

Can you post picture of it installed. Thanks

Quoted from matt_adams:

A buddy of mine borrowed my Sopranos and got fed up with losing balls off the drop target so he installed this....
[quoted image]
It looks bad from this angle but you don't see it when playing and I haven't lost a single ball since!
Here is the players eye view
[quoted image]

Yes it doesn't look bad from players view. I need to but something on the right ramp. A few times I've shot that ramp and it's had so much speed that it went to the right drain. I did get lucky once and it landed in the shooter lane. PS.... I may use your buddy's idea.

I believe you will need to update your ROM. Contact Matt and he will hook you up with what you need. Welcome to the club.

Cheers guys. I have matt on the case and will be ordering through him.
Next question, best way to clean the decals on the side of my machine as they are yellowing.

Magic eraser and light mist of awesome sprayed on Magic Eraser. Go slow and don't rub hard. But first wait and see what others have to say.

What color are the fish eye bulbs? Was thinking of getting in there and trying different colors. Any suggestions. Also, are they wedge or bayonet? I assume they are same size as all the other playfield bulbs etc.

I changed all my lights to LED's. I didn't change the Fish Eyes. I my memory serves me it was a totally different bulb or just to hard to change out. I'm thinking is was different 99% sure.
