Quoted from Crile1:Uv ink on side blades probably won't look good since UV lights mount on inside edge of ramps.
Thanks Crile1. That makes sense.

Hi all. Just purchased nib Stranger Things premium. Level and inspected game. Did notice the ball post lock under left ramp dropping and ball is unable to roll out. The plastic rod goes back up not giving the ball enough time to roll out. Ball stays in the two gated area. Not sure if this has been mentioned in thread this before. Any solutions. Thanks.
I’m sure a distributor will install it for you with a fee. I just installed it and it’s not hard at all. Maybe an 1 1/2hr to install, very easy. Also there’s a couple of instructions videos on you tube.
Purchased on Wednesday few things wrong on startup. Left ball lock rod under ramp not releasing the ball. My fix was to add two small spacer washers to each of the 3 screws holding the coil to the Playfield. So far so good. Next problem the telekinesis ball lock. Adjusted as per chuckwurt PDF file. Now works 100%. Thanks chuckwurt. Adjusted left flipper 235. Right flipper 230. My pitch is 7.0 bubble is centered. The demo shot is hit 50% of the time. Might just be my bad pinball skills. Last problem is the mystery gate(under left ramp). The ball gets stuck there often. Any solutions. I’m thinking of bending the gate some. Very happy with this game. I can’t stop playing it as it really draws you in. So much fun.

Thanks...I will give it a gentle try. Just don’t want to snap the gate.
Quoted from lodgingdolphin:Those side blades look great, but what’s groot’s sister doing in there?[quoted image]
Lol. It does look like a evil Groots sister. But it was in the Series..
10A6F896-FE58-4802-85ED-27BA6D32BBC1 (resized).pngQuoted from Trindawg:Got my UV kit yesterday and am gonna install today! Any tips out there on the install ? I remember someone saying something about some wiring under the right ramp? Not sure but some tips would come in handy. Thanks !!
Zach from Flip n Out Pinball has a great You Tube video out. He explains install step by step.
Quoted from chuckwurt:The most important thing about the left orbit guide adjustment is to make sure the up post doesn’t hit the ball when it comes back up after releasing it.
How can this be fixed. Is there an adjustment in the settings. I’ve tried everything from game pitch to even unscrewing mech from play field and adding small washers between the mech and the underside play field. All with no luck. That rod has always hit the ball upon upward release.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Make sure your game is pitched between 6.5-7 too. Just at the top line on the bubble level on the shooter lane.
Thanks. PinGuy app pitch is at 7.1. I’ll try bringing the back up higher and more roll to the left. The ball also gets stuck between the wire gate and the metal rail leading to that up post rod.
Quoted from dashv:I took some high speed video and found the reason for most of my crazy air balls is that the plastic protector around the demo gorgon sits too high in one spot because of a bolt underneath it that needs to be shaved down a couple cm. What I need help with is, what is the best way to get access to that part? Not sure how or where to begin with the ramp tear down.
I would think the plastic is that way so the ball has a fast roll after a miss to the demogorgen and So that the ball does not get stuck and then will set you up for another demogorgen shot.
Quoted from Initiative:Nazz - what brand of speakers did you get there?
Separate topic: I just threw a shaker into my premium, and there's one event I was looking forward to getting some serious feedback on - start of MB when the van lands on its roof and drops the balls off the backboard. To my surprise there is no shake there! what the heck?!
Initiative...Kenwood 5 1/4 1366s. Same speakers that Stern puts in their LE’s
Quoted from Initiative:Thank you kindly! ive had my eye on replacing them along with getting the light ring. question though - i've got a 12" energy sub hooked up and admittedly the sound and music are already crazy good (neighbors hate me). do the kenwoods legitimately sound like an upgrade?
Sound is better, I notice better highs but I did the mod more for the speaker light kit.
Quoted from Kharris:I did this mod back in January or early February can’t remember, but you need an amp to really benefit from those kenwoods! I used pinwoofer because it came as a kit but if you under stand speaker stuff you could probably save money. I got an amp for the backbox and one for the cab. And an eight inch Pyle sub in the kit. I have my vol. set on 5 and it’s super intense!
Kharris. Will look into to it. Thanks.
Quoted from C0untDeM0net:new ramp length is 5 3/4 inches ~147mm. old ramp was closer to 5 1/2 inches ~140mm. Width is the same. This is measuring the straight section. where the graphic goes and the end of the ramp
Maybe they made the new ramp longer to prevent the ball from getting stuck under it when it lowers to shot the demogorgen. It does happen periodically when playing the game..
Quoted from pacman11:Okay what’s the trick to updating Stranger Things. I download the software to my scan disk Fat32 formatted 64gb hard which is brand new. When I plug it into the usb on the board and turn on the machine is doesn’t read it.. Do I have to do anything with the dip switches?
This YouTube video explains how to download and install the code.
Downloaded latest code v.90. Big improvements on scoring and much better light shows on modes but still no 80’s music from the TV series. Will that ever happen? I know there is a cleland sound mod. But will Stern ever add a few songs in their code?
4 weeks later
Not sure. Since I downloaded the latest code only turned on machine 4 times to play and this has happened twice. Nothing turns on other than my installed speaker lights. It saying wandboard.org on the projector screen and that’s it. Had turn turn machine off then back on and all turns on.
Quoted from C0untDeM0net:That sounds like the CPU board not booting up. While mine was a pro I had a similar issue where the main cpu was not coming up and rebooting or opening the coin door would get it going. Turned out to be the sd card was bad. Grabbed one from my wife's camera (she hasn't noticed) and flashed the software and have not had the issue since. Worth trying
Thanks Count . I’ll give it a try. Also will give Stern a call tomorrow.

Quoted from DaddyManD:All, super late to the game on this...interested in a NIB Premium but looks like they are pretty much sold out (although a few price gougers out there). So question is, what do you all think of the Pro? Really like the projector and really, really want TK lock, but is the Pro acceptable (or more than acceptable?) fun and fine theme integration? I could always wait for a used premium but kinda want to move on this for wife's birthday!
Try Pinballs.com. There located in Ct. Ordered 3 NIB from Mike. No problems at all.
Quoted from haveaniceswim:Has anybody seen these art blades for sale in the US? I prefer the woods without the demos that are on the Tilt Graphics blades.
[quoted image]
I purchased tilt graphics art blades with demos awhile ago. I think they fit in great with the machine. But to each their own.

Hopefully this topper will be over the top. Kinda like the BKsor topper. When Stern announced that topper many people said they would buy the game just for the topper. Now that BKsor topper is selling for $1500 to $2500. CraZy!!
Topper is different. Not BKsor caliber....Also waiting for price from my distributor. He Said trying to reach out to Stern for confirmed price. I will probably order it.
Quoted from KYLEDM5:My associate just got a pro and tried adding one of his Pinstadium sets that he already had.
The primary goal is for the UV effect in the Upside Down, but since it's hooked into the GI, it turns off when that mode starts.
Is there a way to get it to turn on during that mode or is the only real option to get the special Things Edition Pinstadium kit or Stern kit?
Thanks!
Just get the Stern Kit. You get new plastics and a new apron.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Got the last one

my distributor receptionist said she will send me the invoice via email tomorrow. Fingers crossed..
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Goodluck! I just wish the went with realistic images for the demagorgan Would have been much better IMO.
Thnx. Yes true. But then Stern would have charged $1049.
So my distro called and said my STn topper will be shipped to me tomorrow. Can’t wait to see it. Anybody see it in person?

Quoted from J85M:Curious if Stranger Things owners would be interested in a action button plate? I hate the fact Stern costed them out of the BOM, leaves the area looking a little unfinished compared to the older games like AC/DC and Star Trek LE.
Here’s one made for Mando, as an example.
[quoted image]
I’ll be interested as well. Count me in..
