I've had my pro now for almost 4 yrs. The special has never been lit during a game. Resigned to fact it was never programmed in. Still liking this game.

This is where I got mine: http://www.speakerlightkits.com

Over a thousand games and never had an issue except for a light bulb ot two. But, something happened today that never happened before on my tf pro. For the first time, the special, red bulb was lit. I was resigned to the fact that special was never programmed. Not sure of the sequence that lit it, but it was after completing Ironhide. The special seemed to be starting a new mode (bumblebee) which was the last mode I hadn't completed. Might have given points as well, not sure. But finally, special was lit!

I've had my pro since 3 or 4 years when they first came out. It's still a go to pin for a fast in your face game. It really is a good game, makes you a better player. Even with no space to expand for new pins, just can't let this one go.

I think the pro is the best bang for the buck of any Stern pro. Fast, fun, in your face game. Oh, and hard IMO.

I'm actually shocked and pleased by the lack of wear on my pf in general. Five years later and it still looks like new.
I'm in for the cliffy's nonetheless. This is a go to game for me when I want to play a fast game or three.

My roof also came off. When I ordered around 8 months ago they were out of stock. When they came in, the price doubled.

Ted, your too funny. Those Sigars are getting to you. Go onto Sterns web page. Go into the code section and look for transformers. Download the latest le code and then put it on a USB stick.
Take off the back glass. There is a USB port. But you have to switch one of the jumpers. I can email you the stern instructions if you don't have it. The manual should have the instructions. Do you have the manual?

Then your good to go. Seriously, if you need help, just let me know. TF pro was my first pin. Still love this game. It's my go to pin when I want a fast game.

The pro does not have the iron hide ramp and gate issues. Have had mine for 6 yrs and only major issue was the megatron ball lock not shooting balls out.
Other than that a few bulbs. Amazingly very little to fix on a game with 1500+ plus plays.

What could possibly cost a grand in upgrades and parts?
Pinsound board, color dmd (if they even have one), etc?

How is the color dmd? Only game I have without color.
And do you like the led's. This was my first game and still love it.

I have had this happen numerous times. Seems the molex connector to the trough loosens over time. Try pushing it in tighter. Has worked every time for me.
