I have first hand knowledge this is wrong, along with 99% of the other complete bullshit posted about this game claimed to be “fact,” starting first and foremost with how the projector looks in person.

You could be right

Nice meeting you! Almost home too.

It’s not an electric magnet coil. It’s a regular neodymium magnet. When the balls are to be released, two coils pull the magnet away from the backboard.

Sort of an ingenious solution

I was told the magnet could hold up to 95 lbs. that is why it takes two coils to break it free from the hold it has on the balls

Here is what makes the demo move on the premium and LE. There is an extra bracket on the demo that is in contact with a coil and an up post

That would be great! The only problem I see is that there are no switches on the demo to register hits. Only an opto set to register it going into the mouth. Numbers 2 & 5 in the diagram

Maybe it could be implemented in some sort of “dirty pool” fashion, assuming a missed shot to the demo falls behind the drop targets

That’s great news! I still haven’t unboxed mine yet so haven’t had a chance to check it out.

A damage meter would be super cool. Make it an ongoing battle of some sort.

You won’t be disappointed. I have it sitting btw a JP2LE and a JJPOTCCE and it’s holding its own. It plays smooth and fast, after its adjusted, like every nib requires. I really enjoy the right side “burn it back” loop!

I haven’t had any issues with the ball lock and ramp. It does take a clean shot to work, though. There are no dribble in give me’s. I bet it is a programming timing issue. If the .83 code were up on sterns site, I would try reloading it.

Regardless, I bet it gets addressed in future updates to accommodate for the slight variations in game to game set ups.

There seriously needs to be a crackdown on trolling and negativity on pinside. It is the same offenders over and over. It has already driven nearly all those in the industry away, now it is driving good pinsiders away. I am unaware of any of these repeat offenders ever being moderated.

Pinside used to be a place to share ideas and the joy of pinball. Now it is a miserable place with 10-20 trolls constantly parroting Kaneda’s vitriol in every thread.

One of the biggest trolls in the Stranger Things threads is a pinside vendor. I can guarantee that I will never purchase another of his products. That’s his constant drum beat with regard to Sterns products.

This is how it should be assembled

No problem! I wanted to post and share for those having issues. It’s pretty simple to adjust.

The spacers are nylon spacers you can get from pbl. But that would be for up and down

If u need it to come forward, use washers on the rear holes btw the bracket and the plastic toy. It will mage the head tip forward and down

Sounds like a loose plug.

Hope it is that simple, though.

I think the dimples have a lot to do with the color of the pf. I have a JP2LE right next to a Stranger Things LE. Upon close examination, they both have the same size and depth of dimpling, but they are much more visible on the darker Stranger Things pf. I know its a controversial subject, but my SW had the same initial dimpling and it did eventually even out.

I own a TSPP i bought nib in 2004. As a test, i removed the apron and dropped a ball from 5 inches. Did the same test on Stranger things, JP2LE, BM66, and SW. guess what, nearly identical dimpling. I also have a Huo TZ that I am the second owner of. Same test, same result. I have come to the conclusion that the color of the pf has alot to do with it. Additionally, the new led lighting seems to amplify the effect.

Anymore, I look at the dimpling and it makes me smile. It represents all the fun my family And I have had playing the game. I look at playing it enough to make it even out as a goal like continuing to best the grand champion score.

100% agree. 10% of pinside’s membership is comprised of whiny negative individuals that bring 90% of the negativity. I sincerely wish this miserable toxic 10% would go away and/or find a different hobby.

Lol! I know, I know.

You are making some fairly bold accusations for which I have 100% first hand knowledge of that you are wrong. Perhaps an apology and retraction are in order.

Chuckwurt and Zach are good dudes that do a ton to promote this hobby. What do you bring to the table?

We all need to start using the moderation button to report these trolls. They have become a cancer to pinside.
