Yes it is

Wish I had better connections with a distributor. There’s a new premium available for $7100 also. Just not sure if the premium is worth the extra money and seems to be more problems with the premium over the pro.

I’ve dealt with Orange County. Good guy. He’ll deal.

Premium is definitely worth the extra money!!

Bought Monster Bash and Black Knight from them.

oups than

??? oups

That's "oops" in Flemish. He's from Belgium and speaks far better English than I do French, Dutch, or Flemish...so I forgive him just about everything.

I bought my Stranger things LE from him. He shipped it the same day. I will definitely buy from him again.

BallyKISS1978 I got mine nib shipped to me for 5k. Your not saving any money buying the used one for 4500 and then getting it shipped.

I have not been on my Stranger Things for a while. Just came here to endorse pin monks coil fans. What a silly stupid simple solution to the single most frustrating thing with this game. As a testament I reached "Can't Stop This" after a one and a half hour session effortless. Normally I don't event bother shooting for the demogorgon after 15-20 minutes.

(video is still processing at this time of writing)

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation! I'm tempted to go back and do a 2 hour Stranger Things session to see how hot the coils can really get. I have a temp gauge that can measure over 157F now. I thought Stranger Things was the heat champ, but someone sent me a video of an uncooled Rick and Morty where the right coil got over 180F and the upper right coil just stopped working for a bit after it exceeded 160F. They were playing for around 2 hours. When they get the Spooky Tibetan Breeze kit, that kind of nonsense will be a thing of the past for them, too. Pretty much impossible to break even 110F with the kit installed, no matter how long you play.

Thanks again!

Joined the club yesterday. Got a very nice used Stranger Things Pro with protector, shaker, mirrored glass and UV Kit. Next days are cleaning, playing and waiting for my alternate translite to arrive, the Pro one is horrible. Still stunned from the looks of the UV Kit, amazing! Can't wait to play more!

yep

just to precise, i'm naturally speaking french, than still Belgium, but the "other" part
and i've lots of pinball friends in the flemish side

I'm interested to see the alternate translite... is it the same as the one shown on here a few pages back with the silhouette?

I would pick it up. Where did you get yours for $5k? Are you happy you got the pro?

Back in September I ordered a Guardians and the price had already come up another 100 from when I bought ST in Jan and it's an older machine. I managed a deal with a different distributor that still only brought the price down just under what I paid for ST. Prices across the board for all NIB seem to have gone up. If you truly managed a NIB for 5k that's amazing. None of the distributors around here could come within 600 of that.

Have you temped other coils besides the flippers? Like the saucer or the TK arm? The saucer seems to fade, going from zipping the ball around the burn it back to barely making it register. Also I'm wondering if the TK arm gets weak after long sessions.

Can get a demo unit pro with full warranty for $5395 shipped from distributor or new premium for $7100 shipped? Thinking pro with $1705 savings. Or wait for a used premium to pop up near me, which doesn’t happen too often in Arizona.

Premiums and LE's look amazing, but I have to say - I have had my Pro since the first of the year and I am thrilled with it. My favorite game in a long time...

I haven't, but I think it's unlikely to be fade at the level the flippers see because all the other coils are smaller, are worked less, and have more breaks to cool down a bit than the flippers.

I have only played the pro myself. Played pro and premium of BKSOR and went with premium. Just not sure premium is worth the extra money but I did not see one in the wild. Did you get the UV kit?

Is anyone able to drop the 1.0 Pro code on Dropbox or google docs? No shit, I've tried 47 times and can't get past 2 gigs before it crashes.

Thanks brother. Talked to the wife who loves the show and she agrees pro is fine. Premium upgrades do not add to the gameplay. So got green light to get it. Also told to put deposit down for Elvira also.

Might want to give a download manager a try. It can recover from errors and partial downloads.

For example:
https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/

Not to sidetrack you, but I would totally go Premium. I'm not even a fan of the show. I watched season 1 (meh), that's it. So, I don't really know what's going on in any of the modes, either never seen them or don't remember them. The game still works as an 80s vibe "horror" theme.

Back before COVID, I ran into a Premium on location with no intentions of liking it, but I was blown away. Granted, many of the rules are the same on the Pro, but the theater provided by the projector and the UV is so freakin cool, I just can't imagine going Pro on this game. I own a bunch of cool games, but I've never gotten as much wow factor from noob visitors as I have from this game. If that matters to you at all, it's another reason to consider the Premium.

Other games on my WANTED list are Star Wars, Deadpool, JP3, Elvira, and AIQ. Regardless, when I saw a nicely priced ST Prem locally, I jumped with no regrets.

if the wife’s happy everyone is happy. She is excited for Stranger Things and also Elvira. I didn’t realize how fun Elvira is. Definitely didn’t look like it was that deep or fun of a pin till I played it.

At Tilt Studio’s EHOH and ST were the two pins I would have that one more game feeling. I would play Elvira and said to myself I want this and like it better than ST, and then play ST and liked it better and had to have it

Thanks for your reply. Definitely made me feel good about going with ST pro

I do not have the UV kit, but hear it's absolutely awesome.

Dear Lord, that was painful. I had to download folx on Mac to resume partial downloads. After about 15 separate crashes, I was able to finish. Thanks for the tip.

Oh, also, I'm joining the club this week.

Thanks for your reply. Just finalized the purchase for the pro. Going to put the $2204 I saved towards Elvira. I just couldn’t justify spending that much for the premium ST. Glad you love your premium and glad I never played it so I won’t know what I am missing lol.

Elvira definitely has a deep code and was surprised the long ball time on it. Definitely surprised me. My kids didn’t care for it at first and tbh neither did I. For me definitely a top 10 or dare I say top 5 pin.

Ordering UV kit and shaker for ST now. Supposed to be for Christmas but don’t think we can wait that long. I need to make sure no issues with it lol

I don't know why some people have such trouble keeping connections live and others don't, but a download manager is a must if you keep losing connections because they will almost always finish automatically by re-trying and continuing from where they left off. Glad it worked out for you in the end!

are people having issues with the code update? i downloaded the premium code for ST and AIQ...then copied to my thumb drive. when i attempted to update into the games, it just booted into the normal game instead of the updater.

when I re-reviewed my downloads i noticed for BOTH ST & AIQ, the "premium code" downloads have "le" in the file name and not "prem" or "premium." is that why my games aren't updating from my spk files? did stern just put the LE code into the PREMIUM code section for downloading?

Any interesting powdercoating? I’m lucky to live down the road from a powder company. I’m trying to avoid straight purple.

How about a candy apple fire red?

Good suggestions. IMDN is candy red, EHOH is illusion purple, BKSOR is black iced cherry, and BM66 is sparkle black.

I’m trying to find something that fits the color scheme but also different than what I have.

I’ve got an extra Stern shooter rod still in the box. Mistakenly ordered from two places.

$100?

Hello all
My kids were playing my ST Premium and when I got to playing it later tonight, I noticed this washer by the saucer laying on the playfield
No idea where it came from and after looking over the machine, can’t find any loose or missing screws or bolts

Anyone have a clue where this larger washer may have came from??
Thanks

The led 20 sides die?

Could have just been lodged somewhere from the factory and worked its way Loose. You would def see a nut someone if something came apart.

ST pro will arrive next week. What things should I look for and need to adjust possibly? I played a pro at tilt studio and the ball constantly got stuck on the right side of the demigorgan.

Can’t wait to get the game. It’s supposed to be a family Christmas present but don’t think we will be able to wait that long. Correction, we won’t be able to wait that long.

If the demogorgon is not a reliable shot then check back as it should be consistently hittable within the same game. From a cradle I'm 100% on mine and probably 70% on the fly. The game requires you to hit that shot many times to progress thru the demogorgon modes.

You are going to want to get Vireland's cooling fans.
