I noticed in the latest code update that there is now a flipper adjustment for strength. When I played the pro at league this week I noticed the game being way to fast. When I hit the ramps they would zip through them too fast in my opinion. The demo shot was also not makeable due to the speed the ball was going off the ramp and smacking him in the face. I wonder if the flipper adjustment will be the fix for this game as far as the demo shot being makeable. I wonder if those games that are makeable had different flipper strengths coming out of factory and that's why some individuals were not having any issues. We should be getting the premium on location next month. Looking forward to it!

I’ve mentioned this in the other thread, but how cool would it have been to project the Star court mall, knock it down and battle the Mind Flayer. Definitely wish they would have included season 3, but this is coming into my small collection.

This can be placed over any playfield screw or even raised up with a spacer is visibility is an issue. My wife is 5’6 and she saw it in full from playing position. I may switch my dig dug mod with the Xmas lights, but it adds a nice touch to a darkly lit game.

That should have been on the game to begin with. Well done.

Now that's a great mod. Location wise though not sure I'll see it enough behind the wall.....

Removed the plastic 11 in the back and adjusted the led light board to shine from left to right on the back board and it looks much better.

Thank you, I was concerned about that too, but it’s fully visible from the players perspective. My wife is 5’6 and she can see it in full. Now, maybe a child might have an issue, but It can also be mounted just about anywhere, it mounts over a playfield screw, and there are a lot of them.

how did you adjust the board? I'm down with removing the plastic - enough with the nose bleeds we get it stern.

Remove the 2 p2 screws from 11’s plastic then remove the small light board screw I believe it is a 1/4 hex head .

The wire to the light board has some play so you can turn the board to the side. Then screwed the 11 plastic back in and it held in place . Easy good effect and free.

Thats a nice mod. They all need to be interactive though please - on off in certain modes.?

I mentioned earlier that I was having an issue where the ball would hop over the opto on the right ramp because it was going by it way too fast. I haven't tried adjusting the flipper power yet, but I might crank it down and see if that helps. No issues with the Demogorgan though.

Why would the Xmas lights need to be interactive? Interactive how? This is a Spike system game where power is an issue and we have node boards to deal with. If this were a Sam or bw game, it would be simple.

because I dont think it will look good running all the time like all the mods

Premium/LE stream Monday most likely. Heard on the floor at INDISC from a fairly reliable source. Let's hope!

Did some left to right adjustments and then posted this. Never seen a game so sensitive - shots don't work if it's not perfect.

Went through all the demo stages. Majority of them are MB.

Nice score!!

I totally agree. If it’s off left to right by just a hair I can’t consistently hit the ramps, but when it’s dialed in perfectly, pure bliss

Two issues came up today. Ramp only went down about 3/4" of the way one time...didn't do it a second time.

One of the coindoor control buttons is dead. I'll have to take it apart, but this would be the first failed part I've had in quite a while. Guessing bad solder joint or loose wire.

Has anyone used this volume controller for their machines? I’m thinking of ordering one for my stranger things pro. Any reviews on it ? I was thinking of getting the volume controller that goes in the tournament button area on my sth pin, but I kind of want to keep that for the usb mod to update my machine.

Did you try it again today? Setting it to 230 was definitely low. He just didn't have time to dial it in before the tournament. If 255 is high and 230 is low I would figure there is some sweet spot in there.

That's really odd. Very counter intuitive. Do you think maybe this specific toy is maybe too soft/flexible or too stiff compared to the other ones that are working or some other deviation of the plastic itself? I got one shot in yesterday, but I was flailing so not really representative but at least I would guess the hole is not too small.

I played a pro today for about 2 hours. No issues. A great flow game. I love it!! Cool. The new code was installed. Can’t wait to see the premium!!! Go play one if you can!!!!

Comet purple trough led and frankmac light change ftw

This game sometimes reminds me of iron Man it is so fast and brutal

There is a bug in this code still

Someone should stream. I can't make it to the arcade today and want to see that new code in action!

A volume control on the front of the game makes sense to me, but the USB port on the outside of the cab...not so much. Why not pay $7 and just leave the usb extension in the cabinet near the cash box or run it to the back of the coindoor?

Hmmm..... I hadn’t thought of that! That’s not a bad idea. I might just have to do that. Thanks!

Looks great. Are they added comet spotlights? Or are they stock? Something has got me thinking UV in some spotlights would look cool on this title.

added spots...not stock.

BIG SHOUT-OUT!! to timmmmyboy for letting myself and a friend come and play stranger things for six hours lol. This is what our hobby is about, meeting new people, having and having a great time playing the game we love.
Can’t wait to do it again. And timmmmyboy if your ever planning a trip to NC let me know and you can flip my machines.

Now that’s awesome to hear. I have friends over more now that my game room is mostly finished. Hope to ad another game this Spring.

I found a video of the premium here

Thanks for posting. That camera man needs to be fired, though!

2 more days till my machine gets here! Getting delivered on Tuesday. So far I have my shaker motor from pinball life and a set of pingulp cup holders waiting to be installed into my machine ! So excited. Can’t wait to start flippin’!!!

I've finally got some time on my Pro and I am loving the game. I got the setup in the sweetspot for me.
Perfectly level left to right, pitch at 7.1 degrees and flipper power dialed down to 170 (Stock is 255).
I'm able to hit everything just fine and the center drops are not nearly as dangerous as when flipper power is full strength.
Demogorgan shot is 1-3 attempts max on either flipper for me. Game flows like butter, I'm really liking it.

I'll try lowering power too

EDIT - not good. Needs the juice especially for the demo

Was at a local pub last night and witnessed the flipper coil stop issue first hand on a pretty new jp. Two of the three flippers were already busted. I've heard about a few new st's here in the area have had the issue as well. Just to be safe I'm buying some backups from pinball life now to have them on hand. My Munsters hasn't had any issues but the coil stops on it don't look anything like what I saw on jp last night but getting 4 just to be safe.

i know this is your first nib, be sure to wipe your balls!

Haha!! Funny! I ordered the ninja balls from the ball baron. They’re so shiny. They’re on the way.

Oh yeah. And I ordered my deluxe speaker lighting kit too. Got all kinds of goodies on the way!!

Just don’t use them with games that have magnets. They tend to magnetize pretty quickly.

It was an absolute blast! Glad you made the trip and I'll absolutely shoot you a message the next time I'm headed that way.

I don’t think STH pro uses the magnets. So I think I’m safe , right ?

Pro has no magnets... can use bling balls to your hearts content

Le ordered. Will be my first machine in 21 years. Shack attack was my jam back in the day
