Congrats! Love mine!

Get the shaker motor. Totally worth it.

Nice machine. Great choice!

Yes. Shaker motor. About $160-200. You can get from pinballife or your distributor. It can take a little work at the beginning to get the rattle under control, but an absolutely great addition. Gives a nice rumble with made shots that fits in perfectly with the flow of the game.

Congrats! I miss my premium and will add a pro back in the lineup someday. It's a great game, enjoy!

Congrats! Love to have one myself.

Congrats! I have a STLE and love it. My favorite of my pins still. I agree, get the shaker if you can.

Congrats. +1 for the shaker motor. I also think this game really pops with an upgraded subwoofer and Aurich's art package.

Awesome. I got a Getaway next to my ST, too! My poor Getaway does not get played with as much because ST is so fun. Shaker is a good addition but Aurich's translite is a must for the pro. Get it asap.

One of the best Pinball machines for a shaker motor. It is integrated so well. During all of the 18 modes , each shoot triggers the Motor. Every ball lock . Every metal earned . every Three in a row or three deep. Vengeance muli- ball if you win . The victory laps/shot motor shakes even more. Same with KM ball and KM multi-ball wizard mode 1. You will not be lets down on the addition of a shaker motor . Also Pinbits plastic protectors . http://www.pinbits.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_77&products_id=580

Holy crap, we are the same! My Getaway is next to my ST Pro and gets played very little now. It has IM on the other side, so maybe that is also why? I do have Aurich's translite and a shaker, which I would recommend both also.

Enjoy!

Congrats! Awesome game! I love mine too and definitely agree that the shaker is a great add on.

Thanks Jason. I just sent a request through. Not sure if they are still available. I have an LE coming next week. Can't wait.

Add an external Polk PSW10, under a hundred bucks and WAAAAAY better than internal subs. Many threads on here about them and how to hook them up.

the apron decal, coin inserts, and shooter decal are great to have. Everything else is for the prem/pro

i agree, this is exactly what i have on mine, just connect the wires directly on the speaker (-/+) inside the cabinet, you can use alligator clips and the other end in the sub. you can plug 2 machines in the back of this sub.

My favorite playfield mod is the interactive Vengeance disc by beatmaster. I have red, he also has blue.

Yep he's the guy in the previous post. Awesome stuff.

His translite looks awesome.

Since your molding it up, the soundtrack replacement sounds great too. Adds a lot to the game.

Yes there are toppers. But my advise , only cause I care. The first extra money I feel you should invest in a Shaker Motor . The sub and topper can be added later . Trust me the Shaker Motor for less than $200.00 is the plan man . Topper link. http://tilttopper.webs.com/

Yes, a shaker and a sub are probably the 2 best mods to any game - period. There's some really great bass in the music and sound effects.

I haven't tried a sub yet but sounds like a decent addition for the money. I have not seen any toppers and not worth much to me since it has nothing to do with gameplay. If you are getting Aurich's artwork, you will be very pleased with how it will look. Night and day difference.

I recommend getting Mezel Mod's warp ramp insignia light diffuser. It's only $15, easy to install, looks good, and works as advertised. The insignia is not as bright as the inserts but still much more noticeable than stock. I didn't realize that the warp ramp was even used as a shot in some modes until it was mentioned by someone.

I also ditched the metal washers used as plastic protectors on the slings. They are butt ugly and you can either get clear washers or complete plastic protectors. Cheap and easy.

Last good mod is ditching the ugly, black post rubbers. The ones near the warp ramp get destroyed in a hurry. Get super mini post rubbers. I got the clear ones but you can get different colors. They last longer and stay clean. A little expensive at around $1 each but you don't need many of them.

There was a lot of complaints about the ST POP Bumper section . There was a screw Head near the middle POP bumper . And the ball would hang up in the POP's. I do not know if STERN correction this. But I made a Quick Fix video. Second on Warp Ramp Insignia mod .

DO it your self Warp Ramp Insignia Mod . Video I made .

Kholmes, just curious, what is the manufacture date of your machine?

Congrats bro! FYI mirror blades look real sweet in the game. Got my topper from Laserific

A sub rocks on this game. No need to modify anything.
Pinovaters has a headphone jack system that is awesome and also has a dedicated sub output to run directly to your sub.
Highly highly recommended.

Highly reccomended! I replaced all of the crappy black post rubbers with clear superbands. Had the game for a year and they still look brand new!

Same here.
They look great.

Marco and pinballife have them. They are also super bouncy and prevent a lot of drains down the outlanes.
