For those desperate for a topper, have you looked into one of these holograms?

I wonder how these look in person? Seems pretty cool, at less than half the price of the Stern topper.

You guys that dont like fan noise, this might not be for you.

I didn't even think about that. How loud is it compared to the stock Stern fan?

I’m surprised that none of the toppers use the mind flayer (that multiple-tornado-looking thing on the cabinet). There are plenty of demagorgons in the game already.

LOTR -Flipper Coils from Pinball Life!!!! Will transform the game into a BEAST!!! Works even better on Avengers Infinity Quest also!!!

I cant find where to adjust settings for the projector. I need to move the image a bit as its off center. I cant find the setting! Can anyone tell me exactly where to find it?

I'm not home right now to look and can reply back tonight but had the same issue...I'm pretty sure it's in the switch test option

You know I thought about that. Not sure if they’re the same ones sold on Pinside but I installed those on my LOTR (the original overheating coils game) and did notice improvement. I have the fans on mine and that solved it for me.

Found it. Stinks the projector doesnt stay on while u adjust. Would be a big help.

Also. Right outlane post for difficulty. Do i really need to take the whole plastic return ramp off to adjust it? Mines in hardest position.

Man I’ve had a hard time finding the ramps on this game over the past week (maybe playing too much LZ?) and those targets guarding those ramps don’t fuck around. Instant death. Those posts guarding the AFM ramps are much nicer to you.

How can you adjust without the projector being on!?!?

Pull the white switch on the inside bottom left of coin door when it's open. This will return power to the coils and the projector. Takes about 30-45 seconds but it will come back on.

Im an idiot. Ha! How about right outlane post. I removed bottom 2 screws of return plastic ramp and it bends but not enough for me to get a nut wrench on that from top of playfield

Yep...I've had great games or balls but one screwup hitting them entrances can ruin a good ball ...has to be dead nuts seems like

JP is much worse. Be glad.. lol

Can't remember exactly when I adjusted mine. Pretty sure I just removed ALL the ramp attachment screws, pushed it aside and adjusted the post.

BTW don't adjust/focus the projector unless the playfield is down in playing position. If it's up on the rails it will be out of focus/adjustment when you put the pf back in playing position.

Anyone know the part # for the telekinesis ramp cover fix. Terry from Pinball Life said he would order one and start cutting them. I don’t see Stern ever getting me one.

Interesting. I got rid of JP for STh and I find STh can be much nastier.

Remove the ramp. There is no other way.
1/4” deep socket will do the trick.

I have done mine on the rail with absolutely 0 problems.
The focal plane should not change

I'm anal when it comes to focus. Crisp on the rails gives close but not as good when in cab. Opposite is the same. It's crisp down but when I sit it on rails it's slightly out of focus. That's from the slight pf bend. Close isn't good enough for me. lol.

all you premium/le guys are really cluttering up this thread with your tweaking...

Without a level just center the bubble between the lines. It's supposed to be close to 6.5 at the center bubble. On mine I found it to be more like 6.2-6.3. It's meant as a quick measurement tool for ops to do the initial setup. It's more important for it to be level left to right than perfectly 6.5

What order number are you? I ordered from there also. Am order number 10264 and ordered within two minutes of it being posted on the website. No topper yet for me but sometimes it takes a while.

I'm considering trades my loaded Tron pro. Just throwing it out here on the chance there would be anyone with a Stranger Things Premium that might be interested in a trade.

I'm in Utah so something on the west coast, Arizona, Nevada, etc would work best but if anyone is interested. feel free to PM me.

Are the fans quiet? Just curious as to how loud they are.

Hah, I really thought about trading/selling my pro up to an LE a month ago. ST is the most played pin in our house and we got it used a grand under nib pricing when everybody was bashing it to death.

Favorite parts are basically everything. Really great layout, lighting is incredible with UV even before topper. Theme integration is nailed. Somebody else mentioned the mood, and they definitely nailed that.

TK lock is really cool but honestly i’m kinda glad i don’t have that hanging over the pins head making me pissed off at it. I do wish i had the shaking demo and projector, but not for the 3/4k it would take to trade up to an le.

Tuesday I am receiving from Stern - via the prior & only owner - "a Center Ramp Motor, Motor Driver Board & a SD Card w/ the latest code update. Just be sure to download the latest code after the Motor & Board installation to be sure the current code on your machine is not corrupt."

Not exactly sure what cause of the issue is, but apparently the demogorgon bash toy rarely registers a "bash hit" to reduce the health bar. I'm actually enjoying playing that a direct shot in the hole is the only shot that should count.

I can one shot kill most of the time when the ball is released from the left orbit. Right in the kisser. I recall reading that the code was tweaked to make it a bash toy versus needing a hole shot. Unless something changed, or it's just that the prior owner had the game dialed in (he did), but I find it fun and not difficult needing to hit the demogorgon hole.

Can anyone speak to needing to replace those parts? And if so, what was your reason?

Thanks.

Pretty sure this is my final version of my attract mode mod running along with a slightly modified Cleland soundtrack mod.

With regards to Cleland's soundtrack, I changed two tracks. The main "not in a mode or MB" music and the match song. The match song is now the awesome "Twist of Fate" which compliments the new attract mode video of the cast. It also makes me feel upbeat and wanting to play again.

6 minutes starts the new remix background. Usually won't hear past 60 seconds of normal gameplay, but fun to hear when you do.

@ 13 minutes, listen to the Cleland "enter high score" track, followed by my "match" track of "Twist of Fate".

Feedback welcome!

Well my limit was 9 times louder,

My feedback would be....how can I do this? That is all.

Very soon. Any feedback is welcome with regard to the attract mode videos.

did anybody here have to tune the 'burn it back' orbit. I feel like mine is a bit of a thunk-clunk fest and unless I get a ball in the absolute perfect angle it really does not flow well and it rattles ... anybody?

Apologies if this has been asked and answered, but I’ve searched the thread and can’t find it. Does anyone have a fix for the ball coming out of the right orbit and hitting the top of the right sling instead of feeding the right flipper? I saw CyberNinja’s post at #1794 about the inner ball guide on the right orbit, but I don’t think that’s my issue. Thanks for any help.

Sure, you can download pinball browser and take the two versions, compare them, and put the originals back where you want them. It's not that hard to use pinball browser but it will take some time.

Thanks so much. I’ve got it apart and was just about to start bending guides. Glad I didn’t. Any idea what size doughnut rubber you used for that post?

Thanks again. Go Big Blue!
