Thanks! Did you do both left and right?

Anyone ever have a problem where the demagorgon ramp won’t go back up? If I turn the game off and on it will reset to the up position and start off fine but when the projector screen comes down, it will - only sometimes - get stuck in that position. When I gently tried to move it by hand it appears to be fully down and unmovable. Thx
Quoted from Pinhead306:Does anyone happen to have a uv kit for a pro that they would be interested in selling?
Cheers
I tried finding one recently and struck out although I did see somebody recently on here selling one but he wanted a grand for it. I wound up getting the pinstadium things AI edition. Looks great in my opinion and really lights up the playfield in regular mode and the uv kicks in nicely when in the upside down, just doesn't have the special plastics.

Keep in mind you don't have to restrict yourself to a pro kit if you have a pro (originally the pro and premium uv kits were the same price so pro owners got a free upgrade to a metal apron!). Not sure that's any easier to find though.

True indeed, I have a Premium kit in my Pro, and I added LEDs behind the graphic windows in the metal apron, which makes for a nice look. But as you said, at this point, not sure it's easier to find.

Quoted from jonnyqtrek:Triggered green floodlighting with the Medisinyl beacon.
Nice, how did you achieve that?
Quoted from allsportdvd:Nice, how did you achieve that?
Thx! Photosensitive relay triggers a green LED strip attached to the inside of the ramp. When the beacon lights up, the relay turns the strip on. And because the breathe/pulse effect doesn't get as bright as the full blink/strobe effect, I was able to adjust the sensitivity so that it doesn't turn on in attract mode (breathe/pulse) but does during gameplay (blink/strobe)
Quoted from gumnut01:Can someone help me out with the part used for the left eject bracket? So after the metal bracket which holds the solenoid underneath. I checked the manual and it’s not listed. Thanks.
Can anyone help? Or maybe a photo underneath?

I checked the pro and premium manuals and the left saucer eject mech is not in there, but it is likely similar to other saucer ejects. Might be necessary to email Stern support for the part number you need.
Quoted from Gutterghoul:This?

Thanks, no it’s the left saucer. That’s the up post out of the mystery shot.

Thanks. That’s what I was thinking. Their normal VUK has a deflector welded onto it like in bond and deadpool. I’m after one without the welded deflector. Weird that they don’t have it listed.
NIB communication wall topper. PM for pics/ info. Have an extra. Here is what they look like

Quoted from kciaccio:Can't wait to order my NIB ST tomorrow and be part of the club!
They have been sold out on sterns website, order spots opened last night at midnight and i see its already sold out on there web site. Maybe better luck on the double vaulting.

Got a hook up at cointaker..
Quoted from twinturb089:Maybe better luck on the double vaulting.
Lol why? All Stern dealers should have spots for sale tomorrow

They were for sale at Stern's website last night? Any confirmation as to exactly what it is? Premium, pro, Special Edition? Anything new to speak of?
Order spots were open? Anyone have proof on that. Opened it up and didn’t tell anyone. Including insiders? Fake news?
Quoted from tgarrett09:They were not for sale. Someone is pulling your chain
twinturb089 was doing all the chain pulling if that's the case.
Quoted from Medic:After it’s announced, can we put all the names of the people that said it’s never happening? jk
And include everyone who said it would happen, and those that faked it happening…
It will be interesting to see if they do Premium and Pro models, or just the Premium. I think there are still a lot of locations out there who would like to have a Pro in their lineup.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Shouldn’t the upside down be a surprise? Makes sense for the theme. Also upside down 2 is super fun with the ramps and orbits lit and each successive shot is multiplied up to 4x. Hitting all 4 shots in a combo is super fun.
I would like the mystery rules reworked so it’s easier to get other mystery awards and see a video mode added. Other than that, I don’t have any complaints about the ruleset.
Would be a nice surprise to have the updated code on the vault finally include the video mode they teased on the mystery screen for almost a year that was pulled at the end of development when they zipped the project up and walked away. That was a real kick in the nuts at the time, especially with the possibilities for a cool one.
Quoted from allsportdvd:What's the bet we get none of the things we want and this whole thing is a Stern money grab?
Given the secondary market prices, a vault release will be a win if it's just a normal Prem/Pro release with nothing added just because it will normalize prices.

Stranger Things:
After being lost in The Upside Down… Stranger Things Pinball has returned. Join Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Will and Eleven as they try to uncover the events occurring in Hawkins, and maybe take down a few Demodogs along the way. Don’t miss out on the return of Stranger Things Pinball and El-evate your game room this holiday season!

I'd be interested to see if they update the projector or any mechs that could retrofit an older game... My projector is very functional, but could be better.
Yea, not many details. Gomez said he would like to revisit the TK lock design if they re-ran it. I am interested to see if that happened.
Hope we see some new code with added feature's and fixes. Co-op, save features like Venom, and a few others would be nice and fitting to this theme
Quoted from VisitorQ:Just figure I would stop by to say to all the owners, sorry for you loss.
[quoted image]
What loss?
Ottawa, ON
Quoted from doublestack:What loss?
For all who over paid. I guess if you bought it new, you're good. Either way, this greatly effects the value espically if there are any updates to the hardware... Which there should be but probably isn't.
If they fix any TK Lock issues, you would think that Stern would come out with a kit to fix the issue for original owners. I guess there is no such thing as a recall though in pinball. LE's are still LE's which is good.
Cool that they are rerunning it. Will be interesting to see how it sells since there seems to be a downturn in the market right now.
Gonna be bummed if there are no improvements or added content. Ive had mine for a couple of years and some additional code would really freshen it up.

Did they announce pricing ?
I paid my STh Premium less than today's Pro price, so i'm not too concerned about losing value. Plus I like the game too much anyway to sell it
I'm tempted to pick up a Premium, but I've already got a Pro, and I've got the thing dialed in and I absolutely love the way it plays, so I guess I'll just sit on the sidelines, maybe pick up something different.
Congrats to all the new people joining the club, I love the modes on STh, it's surprised me and grew to be one of my favorite pins (or "tables", for you table people out there).
Quoted from Pinball_Eddie:Don’t miss out on the return of Stranger Things Pinball and El-evate your game room this holiday season!
I read somewhere they have a new projector in the vault premiums. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Quoted from Don44:I tried finding one recently and struck out although I did see somebody recently on here selling one but he wanted a grand for it. I wound up getting the pinstadium things AI edition. Looks great in my opinion and really lights up the playfield in regular mode and the uv kicks in nicely when in the upside down, just doesn't have the special plastics.
I prefer the Pinstadium Things AI edition over the factory kit. During normal mode it looks better than stock, and in UV mode it appears stronger than the factory kit.
Quoted from doublestack:What loss?
You know what he's talking a about. The resell value of everyone's machines just dropped 3k.
