I like invisiglass a lot. I have it on about half my games. You can definitely tell the difference.

Sorry but you are still wrong. The left ramp will light for double after 5 regular jackpots. The left ramp holds the ball if you collect the double. Diring that hold you can collect the super in the left saucer. Display clearly says that.
Nothing to do with the lock targets at all.

I think we both misunderstood what the other was saying. All good.

No. The lock targets do nothing. I tested by hand when I took the display picture. Only collecting 5 jackpots light the super and left ramp.

Display also clearly says double jackpot if you collect the ramp before saucer.
Collecting the double first also doubles the super in the saucer from 12 to 24 millions.

Correct sir.

Does anyone know what these holes on both ramps are for? Could be very useful for modding.

Surely a device of some sort that Eddy wanted in the game that Gary cut out.

Would love to take you up on this. Really want to check out that projector.

So , as most of you know, since day one I’ve been having issues with my
Machine and the center ramp operating correctly. It’s been an intermittent problem. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t. I’ve worked with stern on this and they had sent me a new motor and driver board, and still that didn’t work. I finally started working with my distro tech support. And after a week of FaceTiming, I think we finally found the problem! There was a connector on one of the driver boards that runs the ramp motor. We looked at this today and found ONE wire from the connector was not pushed in all the way, therefore causing an intermittent connection to the motor! Such a small wire too. I can’t believe it after all this time! So happy with this. Hopefully this was the issue and we can lay that one to rest! I’ll keep playing and keep everyone updated. But I think that’s it!

and you get a free node board and motor. stick in the spares box for sure. Glad to hear you found the issue. Painful for sure

Actually, the part of the wire that plugs into the connector was flattened out, therefore wasn’t clicking in. So the tech had me pry it open just a bit so that it would click into the connector, which is what it did. It’s not going anywhere. And if it fails again, I’ll know where to look this time. But I think it’s smooth sailing from here.

And I can reconnect my mods. After It’s played for awhile. Wanna make sure it’s all dialed in

My Stranger Things pro is finally out on location at Ballad Brewing in Danville VA

What’s a high score? I need something to shoot for the next time I play it on location.

Got this score the second time I played it at the local bar but the monster behind the screen wouldn’t eat the ball

Trindawg - fantastic to hear! I was afraid you would have to kick the wife out

I had a few multiballs and shot at that ugly thing until I determined it’s pretty much just a bash toy. I tried back handing and no good...seemed like the ball would hit just above it. I actually liked how the game flows but as of now it would need to be a lot deeper in code for me to add to n my lineup.

My distributor just confirmed my shipping details...

Guys I should received my STH friday. It’s funny because i play 2 different machine (one play like cr^p) and both played differently. So it make me feel anxious about my choice. I’ve decided to go back at the distribution showroom to finally enjoyed it alot.

My question for the owners is are you guys still satisfied with your purchase?

Thank you!

I’m happy with my purchase, yes. Hoping for code updates ASAP to make it really satisfying.

"Theme is everything"

I'm stoked about LE's shipping right around the corner.

Love what i see on the streams and MUCH MUCH MORE to come code/integration wise!

This is where I am at. Not asking for the world immediately, just some things that seem like low hanging fruit code wise. Add a damage kill ability to the demogorgon which would allow you to complete the mode in lieu of a one shot kill. Also, I HATE the fact that the ramp on the 2nd demo comes up shortly after draining the first ball of multiball. Its just asking for you to beat the hell out of the ramp trying to get one last shot in, and a direct hit on the edge of that ramp, even once, is not going to be good.

Lastly, and this is just me being a weirdo, that left kickout hole is going to get beat to death. It needs some sort of protection, and I am unsure how to achieve this. I dont mind the normal pinball wear and tear one bit, but things such as this (and the potential ramp edge damage I mentioned) keep me from enjoying the game completely, as its always in the back of my mind.

The game itself, layout etc, I have absolutely no issue with. The things I personally mentioned, are fixable, so no regrets.

P.S. - how epic would a magnet save be on this game?

Is there something wrong with the built in level on this machine? I had this baby leveled out perfectly and then I had to move it around and then it went back into its original spot where I had it leveled perfectly and now it’s way out of whack !!

It would have had to move a lot! It’s really off. The bubble is all the way forward when I pretty much had it in the middle.

My best so far after a week. Demo shot on mine is makeable but not consistent and not at all what I go for in points. I play the modes and try to get the 2x playfield multiplier going. I'll only go for the demo if I need to get it out of the way right now. My son loves to go for the demogorgon and has more success than I but that strategy so far does not equal.many points. I think his top score is around 90 mil.

I would love to see stern issue a statement on what the expected success rate on that shot should be and recommended troubleshooting tips if not making it. The silence on the common issues is unnerving as an owner.

My first ever NiB is in the house!

Ok few questions for you all as Sterns are new to me.

- does the button on the lockbar serve any purpose other than a game start or ball launch option? Id like to ditch it.

- Played around with all the menus, is there a setting for screen brightness and/or contrast?

- How do I now what update is installed?

- mine only came with 1 coinslot door and also a big arse Tournament fugly button. Guess I need a blanking plug.

That's it for now - thankyou!

So I heard from my distro that a new code update is coming real soon. Hope it’s a good one.

LE delayed again.. still waiting on a part probably won't ship out till next week now..

I have mine set up so the backbox turns off when a ball is in play.

I monkeyed with this a bit - I'm at 20% brightness during a game. Backbox still looks good from a distance, and there's almost no glare on the upper PF.

That bubble level is junk. I have mine set to 6.5 with a digital level and the bubble level is only half in between the lines. But I set the flippers to 220 and can hit in the mouth from both flippers.

I agree 100% w/ your concerns >

A damage ability should be added to the code to w/ the difficulty of a direct hit of the demogorgon. This should be adjustable in the service menu w/ consideration to your skill level. Possibly two hits for the first battle, then add an addition hit w/ each level increase.

When the ramp comes up on the second demogorgon battle, I simply do not flip. No doubt hitting the ramp edge would not be good. Hope Stern has replacements for the ramp, as this will eventually happen.

With the playfield layout of the kick-out hole there will be gradual wear. The kick-out hole is situated w/ a steel ball rolling over it & clipping the top edge each time. If there's a compatible cliffy protection I would like to protect this ASAP.

Other than that we are very pleased w/ our STh's Pro. I will give a complete rundown of this machine in a week or so. Right now, STh's is a very good game w/ great potential. Looking very forward to the next code update >>>

As you stated jandrea95 ~ No regrets!
