I got my STh Pro a week ago, only thing I've struggled with so far (knock on wood) is the demo shot. I've been reading through this thread and there are some good ideas in here that I'm going to test/try over the weekend to get the demo shot dialed in. Great thread, mainly great people.. I don't post much but this is a nice positive/helpful thread. Keep it up everyone.. happy flipping

#1329 4 years ago
Quoted from C0untDeM0net:

I'm going to be taking apart my demogorgon today to try and figure out what is binding it up and get that resolved. Probably add in a few washers as well to lean it forward some. I sent some pictures and video of my ramp to Stern and apparently my ramp was made incorrectly with the wrong pitch. If you have a gap like mine maybe contact stern and have them take a look as well. They are sending me out a new ramp.[quoted image]

will be checking that for sure tonight. thanks

#1334 4 years ago
Quoted from bemmett:

4. When the ball release on the left happens from Demogorgon and rolls down that left orbit does everyone's hit the sling on side and launches it, minor thing but kind of annoying.

Happens on my pro

Quoted from Rockytop:

When is the 4th season coming out?

Their normal release schedule is around end of october/beginning of november

#1666 4 years ago

As far as the left orbit feeding out to the sling.. I have that as well, but I've grown accustomed to it and can time that sling to backhand the right ramp off the right flipper (leftsling->right flipper->backhand to right ramp) .. at least until I get some time to adjust pitch, etc etc..

#1960 4 years ago
Quoted from C0untDeM0net:

I'm not seeing any change in my flipper power. I did however have a ball somehow land right in the sweet spot on the demogorgon. Still didn't go in lol. Nudging made it fall forward. Closest I've come to sinking it in a while.
The replacement ramp arrived today but it didn't come as a kit so no decals, instructions, or anything. Waiting to hear back from Stern. The difference between the new one and the one on my machine isn't dramatic. It will be interesting to see if such a small difference really does make the difference in making that shot.

That's worrisome.. I'm waiting for my new ramp to show up. I checked mine out after seeing your op about it and followed up with Stern and they said they would send me one. i look forward to hearing if it makes a difference for you.

#2067 4 years ago

I got my new ramp on Friday.. unfortunately, I did not have time to tear down and replace it. Just looking at it though, there's a huge pitch difference!

#2077 4 years ago
Quoted from Kharris:

Did you get a kit or just a ramp? My ramp came and it didn’t even have decals on it! There are more issues as well, but stern said they would fix it and send me a kit.

I only got the ramp as well.. I thought someone mentioned a kit, so I'll follow up with Stern as well to verify. thanks for the heads up!

I love this machine, but I am absolute trash at it...

Might be more of a general Tech thing.. but
Left sling would trigger when the ball was returning on the left ramp (vibration is my guess), and then today it started firing on any vibration. Until it didn't. It stopped doing anything at all.. for a couple minutes, then it started just firing randomly (and not when they ball should have triggered it).

I haven't opened it up yet, because I'm working and was just playin' a game to take a break.. so, any thoughts?

#6095 3 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Your switches on the left sling need adjusted. Just take the front half of the left ramp off, take the plastic off and look at the switch blades. I bet one or both are crazy close or possibly touching. Take a small long flat head and stick it between the blades and push the blade back that is in the back, further back. If done right it should increase the gap between the switch blades effectively making that sling less sensitive to firing.

yeah, that was my thought too.. i think the randomness that started showing up through me, but after reading your post and thinking about it for more than a second I'm guessing it's now sittin in the closed contact position and firing when it's opened back up. Thanks Chuck, you're the best

#6148 3 years ago

Here's a new one.. sorry, no pics right this moment. Anyone have any lighting issues with their inserts going out? Just started happening, so i don't have proper repro steps yet but it seems on mode start (or anything triggering different video assets on screen) could flicker or black them out completely, until mode finish or some other major event happening. Top 2/3's of the PF..

#6203 3 years ago

I've not had any issues downloading any code files from Stern.. STh Pro included.
