Quoted from DrJoe:Almost half of the M-200 Sterns, which are most certainly the more interesting titles (Meteor and later), are widebodies. Kind of throws a monkey wrench into the mix......
Nothing is going to be perfect for everybody.
But, you could adapt regular playfields to fit in a widebody cab and have a filler strip on the left side
Or you just have to pick your sides, widebody or regular (or really, just build both).
No,I wouldn't buy any Classic Remakes.Prices would be outrageous and rules would be different,most likely with Code issues.

Quoted from D_Graunch:Problem would be that Stern Electronics and Stern Pinball are different companies.
QFT.
And I wonder, who owns the rights to all the old Stern Electronics / Stern Seeburg designs and titles?

I like the idea of having filler strips on the sides. We're only talking about a couple of inches.
Quoted from ChadTower:I like the idea of having filler strips on the sides. We're only talking about a couple of inches.
Really the filler strip will be only on the left side, the right side will need to be flush to align with the shooter rod (unless you want a 2nd mounting hole & cover plate for the rod).
Quoted from stretch2:No,I wouldn't buy any Classic Remakes.Prices would be outrageous and rules would be different,most likely with Code issues.
The BOM would be under $1000, so even at retail they would be priced around "The Pin" price point.
Rules would be the same, as all of the game codes fit on one chip.
Look at the $189 Alltek board, and see that every Bally and Stern game is already installed on the CPU:

Just flip the switches to choose your game.

Quoted from vid1900:RFID or Bluetooth?
No need for wireless. Just stick a small PCB under the playfield near the back and run a pair of wires to it into the adapter harness. Or if no adapter then just run an additional small harness.
Well, Interesting. Glad everyone is finally loving the classic sterns so when they are found they don't get pitched as I have found many of mine. It would be good to see an entire game. You could put the entire game on 1 or 2 boards and have an integrated bus instead of the big harness with PCB boards underneath the playfield. It could be done really cheap. The most expensive stuff is the wood and backglass.
Quoted from jlm33:Catacomb is a classic if you need one example. And a damn good one...
It is a great game ... but a tough one to score well on. I have only completed the 'toast' once in the two+ years I've owned Catacomb.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Lightning. Good game that I hope to own one day.

Yea, The "cat' is such a great game and yes it is a BITTCCHHH"...to complete the Toast. I have owned the game for many years and I can only count a handful of times I have completed the toast. I think my high on my game after hundreds if not thousands of play's is 1.5 mil. It is such a great game and it keeps you coming back for more. The rules on YouTube that Scott Charles put out there is an outstanding video explaining the game play.
I am fortunate. My catacomb is my nicest classic stern and looks brand new. yea I paid a few extra bucks for it; but well worth it. An un-restored perfect original. Again will be at the funeral.

I was really hoping a Catacomb would make to the TPF, was dissapointed one didn't appear. Perhaps I will have etter luck at the Houston expo in November.
