Ah man thanks so much for the instant reply! Cointaker has the best international shipping rates so looks like I know what I have to do. Should probably also order one of your flipper cooling kits based on the reviews in this thread. Thanks again!

Haha. You will not regret it, especially for a game like Stranger Things that runs hot, but it's not necessary as thanks for a few links.

You might want to try Freddys Pinball Paradise in Germany... they have the UV kit for the pro in stock, but are planning on re-stocking the kits for the premium/LE... I've got one of those reserved... it could work out cheaper than buying from the US when you consider postage and import tax... only snag is that I'm not sure when/if they'll really succeed in re-stocking... they say they are planning to, but if Stern are out of stock, they may struggle...

I’ve just been playing my premium after a few months off from my games. This definitely my favorite Stern game in my collection. The music and audio is great and the UV is a must have IMO.

Question about the show. I have watched a little more than the first 5 episodes so far. Why does the Police Chief Hopper have a brown uniform and the officers blue uniforms ? Is that ever addressed in the show ?

Blue makes him look fat(ter). He refuses to wear it or stop smoking.

Don't the CN3 and CN4 connections just pulse the +12v power? They are intended for coin counter meters so I suspected they just gave a pulse of +12v power when a coin was inserted instead of providing the +12v at all times.

There is also +12v on the CN1 and CN8 on the cabinet node board if they are not being used.

I assumed the 12v was always there on CN3 and 4, but I'd have to put a meter on it.

CN1 I didn't recommend because I have no idea what the Universal Card link is and didn't want to suggest something that might mess something else up.

CN8 is definitely another good possibility if you aren't using electronic coin mechs.

Dumb question of the day. I took the cover off in front of the focus knob on the projector and can’t remember/figure out how this peace installs...

This was there along with the other cover.

Does this go to something else?

It goes on the side of the projector. The little part that has the 90 degree angle hold the focus adjustment from moving. Mine mounted under another small piece from what I remember. I’ll be home in a few hours and can send a pic.

Is there a consensus on which rubbers are worth replacing with Titan glow rubbers for the UV effect? Just the flippers and the slings?

Thanks, appreciate it - does this list cover everything?

https://www.titanpinball.com/kits/index.php/view/id/1303

Don't have the game yet but when it arrives will do! Just trying to get organised in advance but waiting a few days won't kill me.

Edit: Just realised the manual may be online. Good shout, thanks bud.

That does...I got that kit, but keep in mind you won't have to replace anything beyond the screen (like chuckwurt said)...nor will you want to. The rubbers up by the pops are an absolute bitch to get to. Just get the kit and replace the front rubbers...you'll have some spares and that's never a bad thing.

Thanks, I've found the manual now and I've cross referenced with the list so I'm putting together an order minus the three rubbers by the pops. Did you bother with the shooter tip? Not sure it would make much of a difference...

Good idea, order placed!

Titan kit is missing the 3/16 o-ring and the two slim tapered posts.

I tried to purchase this kit, but after following this link and clicking the green 'customize and purchase' button all that happens is that my phone screen goes a shade darker... after waiting a while to see if I'll be sent to another page, and finding that I'm not, I click the slightly darker shade of green button again and the screen brightness returns to what it was. I created an account with Titan and was apparently logged in... any tips on how to actually put this kit in the basket??

Tried from a PC instead of my phone and that way there's not even a button to click...

Edit: fixed by using Google Chrome as browser...

I ordered the individual rubbers listed in the kit from here:

May be easier for you than ordering from the States?

Cheers, yes, ordering from the States is usually a PITA 'cos of customs kidnapping the goods and demanding a ransom! If the value is under €20 it gets through though, at least that's the rule for importing from a non-eu country to Czech... not sure how Brexit has affected buying stuff from the UK though... have you purchased stuff from Europe recently by the way, and has Brexit caused problems with impirting them?

The kit I made has everything just change the color from clear to the glow. Look for the kit made by Kenneth h

Hey Chuck. Did I see you in the GnR thread? I just placed my order yesterday.

Yeah, I always try to avoid ordering from the States if I can help it - the ransom is one thing, but the postal service always demand a bullshit clearance fee on top too!

Fortunately no change at the moment as we haven't yet crashed out of the EU without a deal, but ask me again after January and I'll probably have a different answer for you! It's terrifying to think that we're about to leave the EU in the midst of a pandemic... we're just slowly marching towards a cliff over here and no one seems to care.

It's scary indeed!! In a way it makes me feel a bit better about moving to Czech, but I still miss the old place!

Is the flipper fade more apparent on Stranger Things as I've never noticed it on my Deadpool Pro which I sometimes play consecutive games for a couple hours straight and some single games for 30-45 minutes...

It's MUCH worse/obvious on Stranger Things (and to a lesser extent TMNT) than Deadpool. I don't have deadpool anymore and it was gone before I started taking temps, but I would be surprised if it gets to even 140 degrees - something like Star Wars, which also doesn't have a coil overheating/fade issue. I WILL temp check it once I get access to a machine again, though. My goal is to do it for all the Spike 2 machines.

This is the DEFAULT and previous behavior.

Sweet Fancy Moses that sounds awesome. And Snowball Dance as victory laps if you beat it? Brilliant.

The best part though...it's still not 1.0. Come on map pieces!! I would like it to be collect them for completing or doing well in modes (since right now you only need to start them) and get a special mode for collecting so many. But we'll see what Eddy and the team come up with. So far I am loving this code. Unique modes and the way it builds to the different "check point" mini-wizard modes is so satisfying, not to mention all the side missions. A few scoring tweaks would be nice yet, but I'm very happy overall.

Heck yeah...perfect list. Fingers crossed!

Could not help but to notice the mention of the word "topper" in the code update a few times. I hope we get to see it soon.

Awesome updates on these 2 machines. Super happy with both!

And bullshit! slap mode. It has to be there.

I have not noticed any issues with fade at all, even after 3-4 hours play

I've not had a problem with other Spike games, but flipper fade is very pronounced in my Stranger Things Premium, from the first push of the start button. I installed Vireland's coil fans today and promptly made two Demo mouth shots in one game for the first time in ages. It could just be a coincidence, but my game worked better from the start, without having to wait for the coils to heat up. So far, I'm a happy customer!

It sounds amazing! And I’ll probably never get there.

For deadpool I agree. I need to temp test it, but it doesn't seem to have fade of any serious kind. For Stranger Things the place where it's most obvious to me is backhanding the left ramp. You simply can't do it 80-90% of the time if it's a long-ish games. The coils are well over 150 degrees by that point and mushy. With the fans or from a cold start, you can backhand the left ramp easily.
