Fellas: Looking to get another system 11. Had a taxi before and loved it. Sold it bc I wanted a nicer one some day. Am looking at a restored one right now.

However, I've had a few games on space station as well and liked it. Can you all give me a listing of things to look for when purchasing one?

Also, pricing? Thanks!@

#468 9 years ago

Thanks guys.

If I pass on a taxi restoration, I'm going to nab one of these.

#488 9 years ago

Price check on these?

#491 9 years ago

Yeah price on the pin.

Grumpy and Dumbass are the tops when it comes to system 11s. The best.

Guys joined the club last night.

Is there a way to access the red and yellow flasher bulbs (panel bulbs) behind the space station without lifting out pf?

#4109 60 days ago

It’s a tight jam.

My coil test 15 panel flashers failed (don’t lite) so I’m wondering if it’s just the bulbs as I don’t think ever changed.

#4111 60 days ago
Quoted from AlexRogan84:

Keep in mind those top panel flashers are 1251 bulbs and not the regular flasher bulbs. They run at a much higher voltage and the regular bulbs will burn out almost immediately.
I did the half mast access too. Use the kickstand in the cabinet to hold the playfield up halfway. Try not to let the playfield drop and cut your arm off...

I’m guessing since the red domed flashers there are 89s, the orange domed ones mistakenly get 89s as replacements by owners thinkkng they should be 89. Which would burn out quick as they should be 1251s as per manual.

SO, my first thought in addressing why they’re out is to place new 1251s in the orange ones

Am I right thinking this way?

#4114 60 days ago

Awesome thanks.

My 89s work. Just need to swap 1251s.

Hard to get to.

#4116 60 days ago

Funny the label just says 89 too.

I just loathe pulling out pfs. Seems like a major bitch to leave in and change.

#4123 60 days ago

I got them out with pf on prop bar.

All 3 1251s were burned out.

#4128 59 days ago

My space station is nice, except the kickback lane.

Does anyone make curved decals for kickback areas? Seems like a good idea as many pins have this area worn.

#4133 58 days ago

Blue displays also look amazing

Guys, i notice that a full plunge just barely gets the ball into the upper pf. I have a red spring installed.

Is this the correct strength spring? Looking around to see what color spring it is.. anyone know?

Quoted from DanMarino:

Blackbeard You made a good choice getting Space Station. If I remember right, you are on a System 11 buying spree. How many do you have now?

Right now I have 6. Love the era.

#4149 51 days ago

What’s the shop like on ss?
Easy? Hard? In comparison w other system 11s.

I’ve shopped many system 11 games. But just wondering on this one.

#4152 51 days ago

Space station seems amazing so far.

It actually feels like you're playing pinball in space. The lack of inlanes is brilliant, and it feels like the ball is a laser bouncing off satellites. The pf is a bit vast in the middle, like space. Mostly longer shots.

The sound and music are up there with BK2K, and just go SO well with the theme.

The pin feels very complete. Just very well done. I place it easily top 5 system 11s. My only gripe is the drops seems second thought. Yes, they increase bonus mulitplier, but they just seem too far back in the corner.

#4155 51 days ago

I find the jackpot is super hard to get so far. Love that aspect. I think its because of the lack of inlanes and control of the balls. Fantastic game

#4156 51 days ago

Wish someone made kickback lane decals. My kickback lane is worn up. A decal would be perfect.

Seems like a great idea. Decals for kickbacks lanes.

**DISCLAIMER: i want royalties if someone steals my idea!!!

#4162 50 days ago
Quoted from Jmckune:

It may change your opinion on at least the location of the drops once you find out they’re a callback to the OG Space Shuttle. Identical location on both playfields!

Didn’t know that. Just wish they were incorporated a bit better.

Anyone tried the ufo pop bumper lights on this?

Loving space station. Super fun to try and control the ball.

1. I find the bonus ball time useless. What’s the point? A few extra points? Is there a strategy I missing for the bonus ball time?

#4179 18 days ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

I’ve gotten plenty from it. Stop n score all day.

Makes sense. I’m trying to figure out best strategy for most points.
