I have joined the Club with a NIB Stranger Things LE on Christmas.

I am still looking for the iluminated spinning Arcade Sign from Mezel Mods.
Unfortunately this is sold out and not available.

Does anyone have an idea where I can get this?

The Stern Dice Shooter is veeery nice

Quoted from SpinnerAddict:
Cointaker has a interactive spinning sign in stock

Thanks, that is the spinning sign from Lermods.
I like the Mezel Mods one better.

Quoted from Mike7599:
Topper looks kind of cool. I’m on the fence. Anyone know the height of it? Not sure if I have the headroom.

Regarding Little Shop of Games
https://littleshopofgames.com/shop/toppers/stern-toppers/stranger-things-topper-officially-licensed-stern-pinball-machine-product-502-7113-00/

Dimensions 26.5 × 7 × 7 in

I think the topper looks very cool.
The Infinty Mirror thing is a cool idea and goes great with Stranger Things.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the Topper looks like live.

Are there any other pictures of the topper besides the ones from Stern?

Now that the topper is out, I'm hoping for a SW update with a video mod
(something like a simple Dig Dug or the Missle Command from the AFM).

I also see some optimization possibilities for this great game.

Beamer:
For example, in the Monster Hunt mission, the drop targets are the goal.
But the drops are not illuminated by the beamer in the mission.

And if you hit the demodog targets (M,O,D,O) the inserts light up but the targets are not illuminated anymore.

Also, the vertical area on the left ramp is not illuminated much.
Only the time for the mission is displayed.
In older promo videos the arcade sign rotates there.
And I would like to see more projections on the ramps and sides.

Mystery award:
The mystery awards are not always a good choice.
There comes very often "add time" and the other awards come rather rarely.
And if you start the Demodog mode at the same time, it stays at 40 seconds no time adding.

Quoted from Cdonnerusmc:
Stranger Things topper just arrived! Love it!

Thanks for the pictures!
Impressive collection

Quoted from swampfire:
My Burn It Back switch wasn’t registering reliably, and I just wanted to share my solution. I figured out the the problem was that it was resting in the closed (“on”) position, so I added a small washer under each screw under the switch body, to give it a little more travel. So far that fix is working well.

Interesting, on mine the Burn it Back switch sometimes doesn't register either.
Can you please post a photo?

I had the assumption that the distance from the metal laneguide to the Burn it Back switch is too large.
It always works in the switch test when let the ball pass through.
But in the game the switch sometimes not register.

Quoted from swampfire:
I don’t have a photo, but basically the washer sits between the playfield wood and the plastic base of the switch. You may also be able to fix it by adjusting the switch (I was not).

Thanks, I give that a try

Quoted from Sinistarrett:
Do you guys anticipate any further code updates?

I would like to see a nicer design on the LCD screen when entering your initials.
The current design is so plain with standard font.
Cool would be Joyce’s Christmas lights where you can select the letters.

And

- more use of the UV Kit in the modes.
E.g. Save Will, Monster Hunt etc. flashing when you hit a mission shot

- more projection on the ramps and sides in general

- more projection in the modes
E.g in Monster Hunt you have to hit the drop targets, but they are not illuminated in that mode

Quoted from Utesichiban:
What do you guys use to clean the white projector adhesive on premium/LE ramps and drop target areas? I tried Novus 1 but still have a lot of black ball mark lines.

I use Isopropanol alcohol for cleaning the white surfaces.
Works also perfect for white rubbers.
