Looking for a Stranger Things LE if someone is selling, prefer UV kit installed. Please PM me.

#9707 2 years ago
Quoted from Deerlakes6:

Looking for a stranger things le ..not worried about uv kit if you don't have it...please PM me

What the..

Ok I dont care about uv kit either.. so Pm me first.

#9710 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

What’s you budget?

I’m crazy, but not too crazy?

#9721 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:Yeah gonna take a lot to get mine. I’ll likely never be able to get one again so it’s gotta be worth it.

are they that hard to get?

#9723 2 years ago

yeah me dumb, should have bought when it came out, from now on Im never letting another pinball machine slip through my hands.. order one of everything I say

#9727 2 years ago
Quoted from MrMikeman:

Better order that Fathom remake then lol. QUICK!

For This ...I pass..

#9776 2 years ago

Finally found an le man that was hard . Got a topper and shooter rod coming too , hopefully I find that uv kit

#9803 2 years ago
Quoted from dinot:

I disagree. If I buy a NIB game, especially one for $9K, that thing needs to work perfectly.

My advice....if you are not mechanically inclined do not buy a NIB Stranger Things. Buy a used one that someone else has had to fix.
But after all of this, I still love this game (but I also hate it).

UGH! I wish I had read this thread more carefully before I nose dived into a NIB LE! damn it!

#9808 2 years ago
Quoted from dinot:

Look...the game is, IMO, the best Stern game. I am biased towards 90s WMS and this thing is a modern 90s WMS. (It is sooo much like AFM and MM)
What's done is done. Fixing the issues will teach you more about pinball than you ever thought possible. So, don't dwell on the past and enjoy it.

Cant be any harder than that damn well walker switch

Finally about to unbox my LE, so excited! had to clean out my storage room for more space. I think I literally killed like 500 spiders.. all set for Stranger things !

#11612 2 years ago

Number 421 finally set up . I’m assuming all the white ramps and targets are normal for projector use ?

#11617 2 years ago

Man this game is awesome in the dark , I don’t care what other people say stern makes some cool ass games

#11621 2 years ago

Ok I just saw my first ball cling to the wall for ball lock .. wow ! Awesome ! This game rocks so far !

#11692 2 years ago

So Ive played the game maybe 5-6 times so far, I love it.. but I haven't noticed jack crap on the ramps, does it actually project something because I haven't seen anything.

#11715 2 years ago

Man my left flipper is all messed up, its like higher then it should be and doesnt go back to normal position. I havent really worked on a flipper before, anyone have any tips or a video or something?
Thanks

#11728 2 years ago

Quoted from aztarac:

UV kits hitting ePay - guessing Stern got all the parts in they needed.....
ebay.com link: itm

Thanks for the post, I saw only one left and decided to go for it, I dont know if they are making more or not.

#11822 2 years ago

Just finished installing topper and shooter rod. I wish Stern provided better instructions on shooter rod, I forgot to transfer the rubber piece to the new rod, and luckily Ive been through this before so knew where to plug it in for the lighting effect

Hey does anyone elses projector stop working when you open the coin door and not work again until rebooting the machine? Is this a known bug?

#11830 2 years ago
Quoted from Bmanpin:

I might be late the club but I made it and I am in love with this game! I had to say goodbye Mando and hello Stranger Things.
[quoted image]

Get rid of gb too , illl take it if u want to sell it

#11841 2 years ago

Lucky for my my flipper issues was simple the spring came off. Never seen that before

Quoted from rockrand:

This is my way of doing it?I made this kit and I am sure the Mezel one is similar so it’s easy to install !
[quoted image]

Does this still work with the projector prem and le versions ?

#11845 2 years ago
Quoted from Utesichiban:He is talking about the fact the Demigorgon shakes on the premium and LE models, right? It doesnt moce on my pro at all. Would be cool if it did.

Yes the shaking rectal prolapse is awesome!

#11851 2 years ago
Quoted from Waxx:

Finally, got and installed a UV Kit.
[quoted image]

Was it hard ? Mine just came , time to roll up the sleeves

Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!
#11869 2 years ago

Everything was going great with my machine but now the projector doesn't work unless I reboot the machine, and last night the ball lock didn't work. It held the ball but then went into search mode. Thats fantastic!

#11893 2 years ago

Hey guys my tk lock was working great it still does , and sticks to the wall great but it just doesn’t register then goes into ball search mode . I put in a ticket to stern anyone have any ideas ?
Some opto issue simple thing I hope ?

#11900 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

There are two optos on the back wall. A top one to register the first ball, and a bottom one to register the second ball.

Do u guys know where to go to test opto ? I think I have a problem there but not sure I hope it’s not some node board problem

#11902 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Yes. Put the game into switch test. Under diagnostics.

Fixed ! I think the power cord in the back box which deals with these optos was loose ! Thanks man ! Now I can sleep tonite.. time to get the uv kit installed !

#11925 2 years ago

So installed uv kit no go . I tested it in lamp menu doesn’t do anything I have no idea what I did wrong , anyone have any tips that they went through ? That board is getting power it turns red and the apron lights up .. weird

#11927 2 years ago
Quoted from Waxx:

Did you go in the menu and turn on the UV kit? It has a setting that stays off.

Yes I made a mistake and missed the two small connectors on the power board that come from the playfield all good now !
Thanks

Only thing I’m kind of bummed is I tried to replace the new uv aprons plaque with the signed one from Brian eddy , but it wouldn’t fit

Also everything works great, but now my ball lock optos arent getting power again. I looked at the manual but anyone have any ideas where the power to this opto comes from? It says CN 12, but that is the topper jack.

THanks!

Never mind again the power connector is clearly labeled backboard opto and was loose . At way back and bottom of playfield

#11954 2 years ago
Quoted from Bmanpin:

Haven't had the game long. Just noticed on startup that the projector is delayed in turning on upon startup. Is this normal?

Mine does the same thing, especially if you open coin door. Takes few mins.

#11957 2 years ago
Quoted from JakePG:

Just bought a pro. Should be here in a few days. Anything I need to know or do when I get it? I gather the uv light kit mod is a must?

Uv mod def is
Cool

#11960 2 years ago
Quoted from Bmanpin:

Don't forget the spinning arcade sign, and glow rubbers from Titan!

Which spinning arcade sign? From Lermods?

#12035 2 years ago

just installed this rotating arcade sign , motion sensitive with quarter hunt
Love it, hope it lasts long!

#12051 2 years ago
Quoted from Rocco:

Nice, where i can buy the Arcade sign?

I got it from a person on Facebook that makes mods. I think he only made like 20 of them. Join that facebook pinball mod group.

#12057 2 years ago
Quoted from BradyScribbles:

Doe anyone know if the Premium/LE UV kits have been shipping, or just the pro ones?

Premium LE have been shipping.

#12106 2 years ago
Quoted from Utesichiban:

Is that the Lermods or Mezel version?

custom made I think, some guy made 20 of them on facebook.

#12117 2 years ago

Just get armor, looks better too.

#12240 2 years ago
Quoted from SonOfaDiddly:

I got incredibly lucky and found a tiny distributor in Washington State that had one shooter, one Pro UV kit and one Prem UV kit left. Then I went on cointaker and saw two toppers in inventory, woke up the next day and saw 1, so immediately plunked down the money. I have no interest in flipping this stuff, I want all the bells and whistles
another question: am I going to fuck up the apron decals if i try to transfer the signed one to the UV one?

I tried doing that, it doesn't fit, unless someone has a way around it. The LE signed plastic does not fit in the same space as the UV plastic piece. The UV one has this wire that comes out and takes up room thus you need to shave like a few mms off the signed one.
Please prove me wrong.

#12242 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Not sure I understand. The premium UV kit has the exact same apron as the LE.
Take the signed insert off the LE stock apron and put it on the UV kit apron. Easy peasy. That’s what I did on mine.

Weird mine wouldn’t fit . I tried the uv le apron insert has a cut in it to fit it right . Guess I’ll have to look at it again

#12272 2 years ago

Finally showed my pinball collection to my cousins. They were very impressed with Stranger Things over any other game I had especially when the Demogorgon showed up. After killing it my cousin was still shaking for a few minutes, like it was too much for him to take or something.
Awesome.

When you guys transferred the Brian eddy signiature plastic to the uv le apron did you also use that clear plastic protector on top ?

#13822 2 years ago
Quoted from Oneangrymo:

Nevermind I answered my own question, I left the plastic protector on top. FYI for anyone doing this, I had to remove the LED strip light to get the signed plastic piece onto the three screw mounts, then put the LED strip back on

My left ramp targets keep falling off, so I contacted stern. Machine is not even 1 year old and they told me it was out of warranty so shit out of luck. I never had stern say anything about warranty in my past 4-5 years of collecting pinball machines until now.
Weird.

#14642 1 year ago
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:

That's likely because the don't plan to run premiums again and don't have any of the white decals for the projector. Just my guess.

I guess Ill just lick it and try putting it back with my thumb. Love this game, but that stupid target needs to stop coming off.
