Where's the $*#$@! money?

Not in my pocket anymore, that's for sure, because I just bought a Sopranos!

Routed game with the usual Sopranos issues (busted plastics, safe wiring issues, etc), but those should fix up nicely. Like the above comment said, this era of playfield must be more solid than the recent ones, because there's virtually no wear I can see on the playfield area itself, even in the hard to reach areas like the orbits. This game has been routed to hell, so it's impressive to me that it's as solid as it is. Just some minor wear at common places like the kickout/shooter lane and center trough drain.

I'm looking forward to cleaning this one up and making it look nicer again. LEDs and LED OCD board in-hand, new legs and side rails ready to go, new flipper bats, new safe decals, replacement plastics are in the mail as well. Wish I could swing a Color DMD. I have seen it on this game and it looks nice!

Nice. Thanks for the reminder, I am going to turn Competition Mode off. I turned it on the other day, but completely forgot it nixes the Big Points shouting mode. That's one of the best parts of the game!

I agree.

Earlier in the thread I saw someone mention PinBits slingshot plastic protectors. Does anyone know if these are still available anywhere? I can't seem to find anything on the PinBits website. I ordered a repro replacement plastic set and one of the replacement sling plastics has already snapped. I'd really love to get these things protected, as replacements are few and far between (and not cheap at that).

Not really related, I did want to mention that I picked up the PinBits red DMD cover. It makes the DMD look blood red, and it feels like a really good fit for the game. Good, simple mod and I'm glad I did it on my game.

Thanks for that, I'll place an order and see what happens. If I search for "Sopranos" on their website, nothing comes up. If I search through the plastic protector section manually, it still doesn't show. Weird.

Oh, totally. If I had the cash, I would definitely spring for a Color DMD.

Just a FYI, I got my protectors. Anyone that needs them for Sopranos, be sure to use that link.

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
