Your comment that stern pins are not played VS BW . It must be the a local issue. I have 36 pins downstairs, 13, are newer sterns, 2, are late 70 s, the rest are 90 s. Most people around here seem to always choose the Sterns, including me. All have been updated code wise , all completely shopped out with LEDs , so they are visually excellent. I very much enjoy playing each, but newer pins get more play.
