Greetings fellow ST party members

I will be the owner of a HUO ST Pro
With a few stern addons

Question

Is there any rule sheets posted Anywhere for the pro

Also it’s been dialed in and tweaked should be in perfect shape also looks that via pictures

Any suggestions when I get the game in my lineup

Thank you for your help

#5958 3 years ago

Do we foresee another update coming soon

Or do you all feel that Stern is done and feel it’s solid as it sits ?

Was this last update a final polish ?

#5963 3 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

There's more coming. Still hoping against hope for bullshit slap mode. And some fun attract mode calls to scare the kiddies on location when they press buttons.

I am behind with revisions so if I missed it I apologize

Was a left side kick out into a Scrolling lit drop targets ever put into the rules with the action button ?

#5996 3 years ago

Picking up a HUO next week myself

Has Side Art blades from Stern
Shooter Rod D&D with LEDs from Stern
Plus UV Kit

Got it for $4900

Felt it was very fair

Is the shaker implemented well or just not mandated for enjoyment

#6069 3 years ago

Any recommendations regarding the shaker

Should it be OEM from Stern

Or would pinball life’s work

https://www.pinballlife.com/shaker-motor-kit-rev-c-for-stern-spike-spike-2-system-games.html

What have current owners used and how does it work for your game

Thanks

Finally in the Club !!

Born 12/16/19

Just updated to latest code

There a reason the action button led doesn’t work ? - not implanted in code yet ?

Hooked to far

6886F08F-1D56-4801-BF3B-86EACF25CDA0 (resized).jpeg6886F08F-1D56-4801-BF3B-86EACF25CDA0 (resized).jpeg7A481F87-FCA5-4AA3-8BB1-F9B0CFEB536C (resized).jpeg7A481F87-FCA5-4AA3-8BB1-F9B0CFEB536C (resized).jpeg
#6139 3 years ago
Quoted from beelzeboob:

Congrats. It's a great game. My LED doesn't work either, except during attract mode. The button doesn't actually do anything except launch the ball, and I believe it used to flash more in previous code, but Brian Eddy hates lockdown buttons so he has no plans to code anything for it...and likely turned it off during game play as a result. All conjecture on my part, though. chuckwurt would have more insight than me.

Ah Gotcha on the button

Thoughts was broken but works in test

Figured I would ask

#6145 3 years ago
Quoted from pinballslave:

Welcome to the club! You must be the youngest member here!

Yeah I noticed that

When did the games production start ?

#6214 3 years ago

Hello Folks

Is there any rules documented on Stranger Things

I like to know what activates modes and to fully experience the game

Totally enjoy this game and so glad it’s in my lineup

4498F373-0712-4469-89AD-44CAFC8FF4F5 (resized).jpeg4498F373-0712-4469-89AD-44CAFC8FF4F5 (resized).jpeg
#6226 3 years ago

Thank you

Quoted from pinballslave:

To start a mode, you just need to hit any of the 4 shots that have the 3 large circular inserts in front of them... each time you make the shot, one insert lights... get all 3 lit to start the mode. After that mode is done, all 3 lights will stay lit, then you should aim to complete another 3 on one of the other shots to start that mode. Go though all 4 modes started this way and 'total isolation' mode starts. After that the circular inserts go out and you start again. You do this cycle 3 times to clear all 12 modes. The 2 left shots are linked to the 6 modes of season 1, the two right shots are 6 modes of season 2. The pops change which mode will activate as shown on the 6 'irregularly' positioned smaller circular inserts on each side of the playfield. There's also Demodogs and Demogorgon objectives/modes. That's my simplistic view of it...

Very Detailed Review

Loving it even further now

#6273 3 years ago

Stranger Things Team

With those with a shaker installed

Did you install the Capacitor Kit like other Sterns (GB / Aerosmith etc) or did you connect the wiring directly to the board by the plumb bob or not necessary on spike
2

Shaker in route wanted to be prepared for the install

Thanks

#6277 3 years ago
Quoted from Lermods:

Connected mine to the board by the coindoor.

Okay thank you

So directly to the board without the capacitor connection

Does it incorporate well with the game ?

Thanks

#6279 3 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

It’s barely used at all. Haha

So action button isn’t really used at all

And shaker as well at this time

Good to know

Hopefully the next code will be generous with features

Still Enjoy the game as it sits

so can only get better in my opinion

Bummer ...

#6320 3 years ago

Game is back up n running

I used a dab of lock tight and we’ll see what happens ..

Gave me a reason to install my shaker

#6344 3 years ago

So.. I was playing my Stranger Things Pro today

And thought of an interesting concept

What if in the upside down in certain modes the flippers were reversed

Anyone else think that could be cool ??

Still updates coming

#6358 3 years ago
Quoted from DrJoe:

Please no. Please, please, please no. TSPP has it, as does WoZ, and GB, and CCC. That's about 3 games too many.

Where is it used in Ghostbusters ??

#6361 3 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Mass hysteria multiball. Collect 100 ghosts.

Ah okay

Didn’t realize it was used

Still think it’s a neat idea

Not like it’ll actually happen ...

#6408 3 years ago

Who made this translight anyone know the creator

Thanks

#6671 3 years ago

Has anyone at this time

Decided to implement a small coil to make the Demo kick in a pro and tied into the flasher circuit (like Prem effect on pro)

#6699 3 years ago
Quoted from dashv:

I tend to pop in and out of this thread for weeks at a time. What is cleland’s code?

See this thread

It really brings new life to this title

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/stranger-things-cleland-sound-mod/page/4

#6710 3 years ago

Bummed a touch

Hit the Demo and ball got lost ...

Did some digging

My 1 way gate broke today

535-2319-00

I cannot locate a replacement

Any one know a source

#6727 3 years ago

Should there be a clear ramp cover over the right ramp ?

I hit the side of the game with a hard shot

Was a service bulletin ?

#6736 3 years ago

Can anyone with a Pro Model

Send me pics of the ramp bend plastics that keep the balls from flying off

Please

#6753 3 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Get with your distro and stern and tell them you’re missing them. You’ll get them for free.

Chuck

Stern is sending me a new gate

Also the Ramp cover as it was added after my games build date

Thank you for the help

Quoted from Mudflaps:

Just installed mirror blades and ordered Joyce’s Christmas light mod thingy. That should about do it for mods.
I never liked the stock Pro translite, so I ordered the Season 2 alternate version two weeks ago from Retro Refurbs. It shipped today from Slovenia, so I expect it to arrive roughly when we land on the moon again. [quoted image]

Please post a picture when the Alt Art is installed

Love the powder coating !!

#6947 3 years ago

Thank you Stern !!

Holy Code Update

Awesome Holiday Gift

#7064 3 years ago

Added a Premium Apron to my pro

#7067 3 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

I’d sell my stock LE apron if anyone wants it. Let me know. It’s not pre drilled for the UV lights though.

my game has the UV kit

But the trade off is I am using 2 Comet UV strips tied into the UV circuit

Works fine and unless you look for it it’s out of players POV

Metal Apron adds a nice touch

#7086 3 years ago
Quoted from JWE:

Great mod, I also added a premium apron with a premium UV kit. I closed out the apron gap with a modified Stern center drain ball guide bracket. https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/535-8393-00[quoted image]

Thank you I’ll
Look into this

Well that was a unique air ball resting spot

#7416 3 years ago

I used comet cool 2 bulb bendy to fill my windows on the Prem apron in my Pro

The Prem apron had no holes so I used 2 LED UV strips from comet tied into the original drive lines of the UV

I love it - the comet is so much brighter when in the upside down

As mentioned the Prem apron is a nice touch

#7481 3 years ago
Quoted from PinPickle:

Upgraded my glass to stern HD. Love it.

I was going to buy feared damage to the special glass as I get quite a bit airballs from time to time on my ST pro

#7490 3 years ago

Has anyone else with Sterns 1.02 notice the Demo lost some of its shaker effects at ball hits ?

Quoted from Anubis330:

This might be a stupid question but I'm stuck. The switch isn't registering so I can't get bicycles. Lol. How do I fix it???
[quoted image]

Check the switch underneath the field

Make sure you hear a click

Try in sw test

Could just be a simple arm adjustment

Did the switch work ? now does not ?
Also check for loose wire

#8430 3 years ago

I really did the Glows from Titan as well

Quoted from Chalkey:

Man I like the game but comparing it to EHoH...

Quoted from coasterguy:

Don’t get me wrong EHOH is incredible and the longest I’ve ever kept a pin. Maybe it’s just the honeymoon phase. I can’t stop playing this!

I own both Stranger Things (pro) and EHOH

Each holds there own very well in my lineup

With Stranger Things being done

Sad they couldn’t just add a sound effect for the slings

Super happy with my pro - Prem would be great but for my lineup and budget gives me the thrill I am Happy with

#9981 2 years ago
Quoted from swampfire:

I just noticed that my bag-o-stuff stapled to the cabinet is missing the slingshot plastics. Is that the new norm, or is mine just missing them?
[quoted image]

Mine did not come with any slings

But quite a few fobs from all the main characters

Could of been a trade off with the plastic sets sheets and space limits

Quoted from WildRover:

Haha wtf is happening? I post here first for 'forum-dibs' warning it would be a very fair price. No takers and even a public "waiting for ad to pop up" message. K - So I make an ad and it sells immediately. I must be missing a memo somewhere
Anyways, thanks TheCnyPinGuy for a quick and easy trasaction

Thank you again

I honestly didn’t even look in the Stranger Things thread

Saw in in the market

Very excited as I am not sure more will be built spoke with Melissa at Coin Taker last night said waiting on Stern but being pretty much out of
Production - glad I messaged and got it

#11647 2 years ago

Anyone with a Pro experiment yet with adding a projector?

Figure see if anyone has tried to make this mod work

#11649 2 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Not worth the effort, and the result will always be way less-than. Get a Premium.
Kind of surprising Stern is making their last run Pros, though. There's a LOT of demand for Premiums. They should finish with that.

I have not been able to seek a Prem to even play within a few hours drive

Enjoy my pro

Just figure I’d ask about reflective paper and a projector

#11711 2 years ago

Topper Installed

Very Nice !!

Thank you again WildRover for an easy transaction

#11724 2 years ago
Quoted from Utesichiban:

What are opinions on the topper? Cool enough to justify yhe $650 price tag? Anyone know when the new batch rolls out?

I think it’s really fitting for the theme and the original price is perfect for this topper but these gouging prices I can’t justify

1 week later
#11855 2 years ago

So today I was bored and my son and I were playing stranger things

And we both discussed that it sucks how the slings had ZERO sound effect

So… after much debating I decided to change that

I inspected the field and noted a 10pt switch up in the pop area just just made a noise and added a few points

Light Bulb !l

I looked at the slings and disconnected the lower switch from the circuit and ran a jumper from the 10 point switch to the lower set of sling switches

So NOW when my sling goes off on each side I have a sound (yes I’m aware a few more points are now awarded but could careless in the overall picture)

I’ll be uploading a video later

I used all alligator clips to make it 100% reversible and cut nothing

Anyways I did it and have no regrets

Worse case if she goes I revert it all back to stock

#11857 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Definitely changes the scoring for grow dart, lure dart and will be easier to collect a drawing. Good idea though.

That’s interesting

I have Pro

that switch doesn’t do anything but score and sound

The pops grow dart and flash lamp effects etc

Maybe the Prem field does more??

#11859 2 years ago

Here are a few videos explaining what I did better to adding sound for my slings

Video 1


Video 2


Video 3

#11862 2 years ago
Quoted from CoasterG:

Which company has the best UV rubber kit for the Pro? Looking to order one in the hope that my UV kit will show up soon.

Titan for me - looks awesome !!

1 month later
#12499 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Even if the TK lock is disabled on the premium, the swipe a ball still works.
No plans to add to the Pro. Only possible code updates will be bug fixes, maybe add some more high score lists, and scoring adjustments possibly.

Be great for OFFICIAL sounds added to slings

I emailed bug report to Stern months ago - no reply

Otherwise it’s an all
Around amazing pin
