Quoted from chuckwurt:The TK lock was not working on that game. Common unfortunately.
Thanks,
Just watched your video so I can see now how it should work. Was your video on the latest code with ball swipe (add a ball from TK lock?)

I think my video is 1.00. Swipe a ball and demo bombs are 1.02
Quoted from chuckwurt:Drop the flipper power on the left to 240 and see how that works.
I'm still off. maybe I'm not seeing where I miss. I'll get some slow mo videos this week when new gopro gets here.
Either way absolutely love this pin.
Quoted from Batedogg:Hello, new owner here! I love this game. Can anyone who has them tell me if the Stern side art blades react to the UV lighting in the same was that the playfield and plastics do? If not, does anyone know if someone makes some that do? Thanks!

Uv kit question. Is there really a protective film on the back of the plastics stern sends? The directions say remove from front and back of plastics and seems like only in the topside.
Please lmk know.

There was on mine. It may be hard to get started. Try scraping with your fingernail in an area with near the edge with white on the underside. That should wrinkle up the plastic and make it a bit more visible there, plus give you a starting point to pull it off.

Yea I've been trying, seems no film on backside as it's just scraping the white coating. Already made little scratch.

Weird. Well, if you're scratching the white coating, there's no protective plastic there, so I'd stop.

Just did my kit Saturday, I did not have film on the back side of my plastics.
I know this was asked earlier but I can’t find it. My demo stopped registering hits all of a sudden. Mouth shots still work but hits don’t. Makes for some interesting battles.
Any idea how I diagnose this and fix it?

Start with testing the opto that is right in front of the demo head. I think it shoots through the plastic that is directly in front of the demo head. Put the game into switch test and see.

No idea what I’m doing. F@ck
I will put in a ticket with stern.

That's the right place, now just break/block the opto beam with your finger and see if it registers in the switch test on-screen. If it doesn't you likely have a broken wire or bad opto.

I took a quick pic of my right side Demo opto. Do you see a red light on yours? And does it turn off when you wave a finger in front of the small hole in the plastic like Vic mentioned? Your optos may just be out of alignment. Mine get wonky on my left ramp for the TK lock occasionally.

Incredible. Thank you for the video. Thank you Vireland as well. I had no idea opto was optical sensor. Soo awesome. I kept knocking the demo to see why it wouldn’t work.
Anyways, I got into the menu thanks to the video and it wasn’t working. I took the plastics off, gave the sensors a wipe and a wiggle and it started working. No idea what the issue was but it’s resolved and I can play cool beats like Chuck with my finger.
Thanks guys, really appreciate the help.

That was my biggest fear. Thanks again for the video Chuck.
My cigulate cortex seems to have been damaged by the radiation of the uv glow. It seems I cannot wipe the off my face.
Man you guys suck.. You made me too excited about getting the game. My LE is sitting at the distro. I was going to pick it up once my UV Kit & SW Prem show up but now I just can't wait. Asked my distro to ship it to my local depot this morning. I'll have it before the week is done. It'll be my b'day present from me to me lol. Just sucks that the first few weeks will be without the UV kit.
What do you guys think about the new code with the swipe a ball and bombs? Is there anything missing or unbalanced in the rules?
I’ve not played it a lot, how are the assets are there a good amount of video clips?
One of the better theme integrations stern has done. Lots of show callouts and clips.
The swipe a ball and demo bombs are awesome. Very well done. Nothing exploitable that I’ve seen.
No word of a code update in this months Stern of the Union. There are some code improvements and bugs with temperamental hardware I'd like to see fixed yet. Hope it's not done done but seems like it may be.
Yeah I would be surprised if it got any more. Maybe after Eddy is done with this next game. I think he’s deep in working on that right now.

Nice birthday present to yourself. Congrats!! I have a pro and love it! Got the cleland sound mod also. Definitely a must have.

Already have the sound mod. All I need is the machine!
Quoted from SLCpunk2113:Tough call. I like both games a lot and don’t plan on getting rid of either. I’d say STh has a slight edge because of theme. Don’t hate maiden but don’t love them either. Honestly if I were you I’d probably get rid of SW and pick up IM and STh.
Agreed. SW is the weakest link. A lineup with Maiden, GnR SE, Deadpool, and STh would be rock solid.
Quoted from nicoy3k:Nah I love SW, GnR would leave before it.
GnR it is then. When do we make the swap?
Quoted from nicoy3k:Nah I love SW, GnR would leave before it.
Agree SW is a great game. I could pass on GnR.
I think Maiden is a stronger pro and Stranger things a strong premium since I love the projector.
If it must be a pro I’d say Maiden both are great games.
Quoted from nicoy3k:Struggling to decide between a sth pro and maiden pro for my fourth and final game.... I know I’m In a sth echo chamber but curious of what you think matches my collection best
SW prem
GnR SE
Deadpool pro
I kind of hate to say this since I love STh, but since you have a SW in the lineup, I guess I would lean towards Maiden. I am not saying they are exactly the same or anything, but SW and STh have some major playfield similarities, whereas Maiden is vastly different than anything in your collection.
Quoted from rai:Agree.
I think Maiden is a stronger pro and Stranger things a strong premium since I love the projector.

ok 100 %
I like a lot of what I’ve heard about the IMDN rules, but I SO can’t get into the music that I’ve never really been able to give it a chance. If you like their music, maybe go that way. If you’re talking STh Prem, I’d go that way. The projector and TK lock are awesome.
If you decide to bail on SW Comic Prem, let me know. I want one bad.
I’m curious to hear how similar or not similar folks think SW feels to STh. I had an AFm which I loved and never felt that SW felt similar at all. The idea of STh being an “AFM” 2.0 with deeper code and the unbelievable cleland sound mod is that is pulling me towards STh. My brain says Maiden my heart says STh
I don't see the similarities and wouldn't compare them at all. I am not a fan of SW to begin with but layout and how the code makes you shoot are extremely different. Played SW a ton in league and it has never clicked with me.
I am not a fan of iron maidens music but really like the pin when I don't have to hear it lol. If it had stayed the archer theme I would own it right now.
Quoted from rai:I’m keeping my AFM LE and wonder is that too close to STh?
Also is the center Demigorgon shot too repetitive?
No more repetitive than the AFM saucer.
The modes make STH different than AFM. And STH is more brutal and keeps you coming back.

If you love the band get Maiden, if not I would get STh. For me to buy a music pin I need to love the band. But both are great pins. I considered Maiden but the wife didn’t like the band enough to even consider it, but she does enjoy playing it on route.
Quoted from chuckwurt:No more repetitive than the AFM saucer.

My wife, family, and I prefer STh over AFM. We were going to buy AFM then decided to get STh. AFM just felt boring once we played STh. We went back and played AFM again to make sure and we just didn’t like it as much
I've been watching some videos and seems like Right orbit doesn't go around, is that always the case or does it ever completely loop around?
Quoted from rai:I've been watching some videos and seems like Right orbit doesn't go around, is that always the case or does it ever completely loop around?
Nope, right orbit goes to the pops, then back the same way.

I think you couldn’t really go wrong with either STh or IMDN. The good thing about your choices are IMHO is that they are great pro pins because you don’t loose any shots(one on IMDN but not really a shot but a physical ball lock)compared to the premium versions. I owned a IMDN pro for a while and loved it and the music really didn’t bother me as much as I thought. The code on IMDN was easy to understand but very difficult to master. IMDN doesn’t feel like your typical music pin but more like a IMDN comic book theme pin which was a big plus for me. You have a great lineup and a good mix of easier vs hard pins, and really loved SW when I owned it. Now if want a pin that has a darker theme great sound and lots of flow grab a STh pro and it will fit your lineup perfect IMHO. I also really enjoy the code on STh and the Demogorgon is pretty fun(once you get it dialed in)for a bash toy. I have to admit STh gets a lot plays in my house and my wife loves it which is a plus for me. If you decide go down the STh road you should start looking for the UV kit as it adds a wow factor to the game. Good luck with your decision.

I have a gnr and I had maiden and Deadpool premium. I enjoyed the shots more on maiden. The music grew on me but it lasted 6 months. I’ve played SW and while I’m a fan the pin just didn’t do it for me but I don’t believe it played like Sth. Theme is a important part for me so my vote would be Sth but it always comes down to a personal preference
