I think the custom firmware of the projector stopped the project in its tracks.

yep and also the general unavailability of the projector in the world
Quoted from PinStalker:The 4th Season has broken viewing records for Netflix.
And Stern doesn't renew the license.
as i understand it, the game earns well on location but they had trouble moving them initially as operators didn't want them. the code sucking a big bunch of ass for the first year+ of release didn't help either
i was able to find a NIB LE last october. the game didn't exactly fly out of the warehouse
So going to replace the drop downs with the Mezelmods clear ones. Any advice on how to stop them from bricking, how to make them more sensitive and drop easier?

There was also that little COVID thing that took everyone away from the world 3 months after release

Just the nature of the beast. Really nothing you can do except avoid straight on shots to them.

Quoted from jackd104:Through episode 5 of season 4. Wasn’t sure if I liked this season at first but it’s growing on me. Right now I am feeling it’s better than 3 but not quite up there with 1 & 2. Got me hankerin’ for ST pin again. I was looking for a premium for a while but gave up.
It gets much better with ep 6 and 7
Quoted from chuckwurt:Stranger Things is incredible. That is all.
Appreciate the spoiler free review. 2 yo and a new born along with end of month reporting at work, havent had time to watch anything but the first and half of the second episode. Hearing nothing but great things so super excited!
Failed with the saucer kicking out to burn it back. Don’t think it can ever be made consistent. It will always move. The posts underneath are just in t-nuts. All the deflector is being clamped on is the machine post stud. There is no friction points to keep it from moving. Combine that with the kicker shoving a metal ball into it which wants to push it back north….
Tightened down so much the posts around the stud dug into the clear and I snapped the top of one of the studs.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
The only way the deflector can be clamped down is a 3D print which replaces the two posts and gives a flat base to bolt the deflector to. Might give it a go later.
Thanks chuckwurt for letting me dream!

Ugh. Season 4 really isn't that good IMO. I am glad Stern focused on the first two seasons, after that the show really starts to take a tumble and lose focus.
Quoted from gumnut01:Failed with the saucer kicking out to burn it back.
You do know this is making the game cheat and it was never designed to do this right?
My intent was to set mine up to do the same but quickly aboard it doing so when I found this out...
Quoted from chuckwurt:Yeah that adjustment is definitely a hack. Eddy never meant for it to go around the loop.
Quoted from VisitorQ:You do know this is making the game cheat and it was never designed to do this right?

It was cool when it worked. Also burn it back isn’t that powerful. Will just turn it down and have it kick at the targets.
Quoted from gumnut01:It was cool when it worked. Also burn it back isn’t that powerful. Will just turn it down and have it kick at the targets.
Yeah. I agree. I honestly think the game should have been designed to have done it.
Before I knew it was not suppose to do that, I was able to get mine to work somewhat regularly but once it fell back out of adjustment, I just left it that way.

Opinions will vary. My friend and I liked Season 4 enough that we’re going to rewatch it in a few weeks.
Quoted from swampfire:Opinions will vary. My friend and I liked Season 4 enough that we’re going to rewatch it in a few weeks.
I think Season 4 is great. It reminds me of GoT in how they can manage so many interesting sub plots and character combinations.
My family and I all love season 4. The debate for us is which is better - season 1 or season 4?... (Still a vote for season 2 as well)
Season 4 has been ok for us so far. Pretty slow going through the first 4 episodes. I know people have been saying it's more horror but I'm not really seeing that. At least it's better than the orville and obi-wan. The orville is unwatchable.
Quoted from dmieczko:My family and I all love season 4. The debate for us is which is better - season 1 or season 4?... (Still a vote for season 2 as well)
Nothing can touch season 1. I believe it’s 100% in the top 10 seasons of television of all time.
Season 2 came close because they introduced a nice batch of new compelling characters and dove into the lore more deeply.
Same reason all the matrix sequels aren’t good - the magic is being introduced to the premise. The key difference is that stranger things has likable and like-to-hate characters. The matrix has cardboard action figures.
The magic of introducing the characters and scenario are what make any movie or tv series great. Sequels are almost always “more of the same but…more!”, which almost never truly captures that establishment magic of a truly great premise and truly great characters. You simply throw them into more shit, and hopefully, interesting situations and watch them react.
Same reason the first Harry Potter movie is magic. It establishes the entire world and populates it will compelling characters. All the other movies are just “more of the same”, and when you have a really damn good premise to play off of, “more of the same” can be quite enjoyable, even if it doesn’t have that magic spark the original movie had.
I could rant on about this crap for hours
Ya like, whatcha like. If season 4 is your favorite or if you even hate the show... It doesn't take away from the fact that Stranger Things Pinball is a winner in my book. LOL! Then again, you may hate the game!
Quoted from gumnut01:It was cool when it worked. Also burn it back isn’t that powerful. Will just turn it down and have it kick at the targets.
Personally, I prefer when the kickout hits the two right targets. Once you dial it in like that, it stays pretty consistent.
I really like Stranger Things 4, but cant figure out why they still dress Will like hes 5 years old?
I liked the season fine as something my family and I can agree to watch together but this article makes a lot of really good points:
It's a good show but it's got issues. I hope they are able to go out on a high note by quitting while they're ahead
Quoted from chuckwurt:I trust my eyes. Season 4 is amazing.
Above and beyond what I thought it would be. The Nightmare on Elmstreet vibe is awesome.
Quoted from VisitorQ:Ugh. Season 4 really isn't that good IMO. I am glad Stern focused on the first two seasons, after that the show really starts to take a tumble and lose focus.
I gotta say and no disrespect to you’re opinion but you’re out of you’re mind. Season 3 tied it all together and season 4 has been incredible. You’re an odd duck fella.

Me and my wife just rewatched seasons 1-3 the past two weeks. I would rank the first 3 seasons: 1) season 1, 2) season 2 (seasons 1 & 2 were both excellent IMO) and season 3 third. I liked the humor is season 3 but the whole Russians all over Hawkins hangibg out and doing experiments with no one having a clue aspect was a bit over the top and ridiculous IMO.
We will be watching season 4 over the next week or so. Going to see Top Gun on IMAX tonight (another theme I want to see from Stern) so Stranger Things season 4 is on hold.
Does anyone know the part number for the deflector. I scratched mine a bit. Can’t find it in the manual or pinball life.

They call the assembly the 'left eject' in the coil list, but the left eject is not shown in the part list for the premium or pro.

I honestly think the show as a whole is just "ok", any season.
Quoted from VisitorQ:I honestly think the show as a whole is just "ok", any season.
agreed. it's fine but it's way too derivative to be great
Well let’s agree to disagree. I’ve only seen season 1 to 3, and it’s the best homage to ET, the 80s and the supernatural. I think it’s great. And I think you’re all over analysing. Just enjoy the show and play pinball.

Quicksilver Just released a line of Stranger Things clothing. Some cool stuff in there.
Quoted from SonOfaDiddly:agreed. it's fine but it's way too derivative to be great
Going back to 2016 when the show premiered, what was it derivative of?

the only original idea in the show is the upside down. the show is nostalgia about nostalgia. taste is taste, no one is gonna change anyone's mind lol
it's fine. better than most of what else is on
For those that were wanting a way to keep updated on the mod set before it goes live, I started a thread here that I'll update as I know more: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/medisinyl-mods-stranger-things-no-list-until-fully-revealed

I hate to spoil it for ya, but literally every show, every movie, and every song you’ve ever heard is derivative from the perspective of those 20-30 years older than you.
Hi fellas i've a problem with the mission busted out.
my lift ramp do not goes down anymore , the ball comes out from the left lock and start an other mission instead of the
demogorgon sequence.
So i can't hit that giant baby.
The switch are all good do you think it could be a software issue?
Thank u for your help
Hi all - really frustrating that I broke the one way gate under my demogorgan. Have been checking for this part here forever https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/535-5307-09 but no success.
is anyone able to make me one? I am willing to pay you for your time and troubles, send me a message if you can help!
Thanks!

a guy in another thread with a similar issue had some success taking the broken part to a craft store and buying some matching wire in the same gauge and then doing the bends themselves. you could try that...
that said, I couldn't use my google fu to find that part in stock anywhere. a quick tip when you're searching pinball parts using google is to do the search like this: "#535-5307-09" and it will only search for pages where the exact part number is part of the text. no joy on this one but it may help in the future.
damn, parts for this thing are hard to find!

sorry man, no idea whatsoever how to help you :/

Doubtful. Put it in diag mode and choose the game-specific tests. Can you raise and lower the ramp in test mode? Try coil tests too.
