Quoted from Concretehardt:

Not sure what else I’m forgetting

I play a premium at one of my favorite locations and pro at another favorite. By now I don't feel there is any difference that matters to me. But there is a mode that is only premium/LE called "can I play with madness" Have heard insider connected adds it but the game I play doesn't have it. Its fun so might be more important to you than the ball lock or underworld.

But I put a deposit down on a pro. I think this is one of the best examples of Elwin packing the pro with fun. Not all designers do ( looking at you Steve)

Quoted from BrokenChair:

I am looking to get an easier pin since I’m fairly new to the hobby ; I like Iron Maiden music don’t love it but it doesn’t bother me ;

I have only played this on location and my favorite location has a premium and the location near my house has had a pro. I like the pro more and think it’s more friendly than JP and harder than GZ but it may be sk8balls best game to me

Quoted from JonCBrand:

I think I need to lower my upper left flipper power. Post above the drop bank is bent!! Under 100 games. Oops

It really depends on your strategy. Do I nail the super jackpot or smack that post over and over.

I'm a pro defender in the pro vs premium debate and IMDN is a great argument either way. For your case, get the premium so you have no doubt.

Quoted from BrokenChair:

Here’s a picture of how it’s lined up does this look correct?

It looks like it’s a little too far over to the left but maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be.

Is this adjustable?

Mine looks like that but I bet you can adjust it to be easier to hit. I have to mini flip to get the ball to roll towards the tip to be able to backhand. I usually use the right ramp to line that shot up or post pass.

Looks like a spotlight bulb retaining clip

Quoted from Shapeshifter:

2025 is Iron Maiden 50th anniversary.
What kind of special edition do you think Stern will make?
And what enhanced code would be popular?

I don't know, but from this thread a newton ball mode would work well. Any time you don't get a hit on a newton ball you can hit the new action button and score it even if you miss.

Godzilla anniversary will be the next year so they got a whole thing going if they want. Of course IMDN only had 500 and they are hard to find.

STH vault on the way.

Quoted from alto:

I have a hand truck that I can use to get the game into the house to the stairwell, but the stairs are a 180 degree turn type going down to the basement, so I can't use the truck down the stairs because the inner wheel will have nothing to stand on when the stairs turn, I realized this the hard way when trying to bring an old washing machine up the same set of stairs.

I have a similar problem but a 90 turn on a tiny landing that cant handle both the game and the dolly. So I take it out of the box. use moving blankets and shrink wrap on the back and bottom and slide it down the first set of stairs. standup rotate and tip over and slide down coin door first. I put heavy blankets at the bottom and slide it flat then standup.

I do this with my 100 lb daughter and the shrink wrap keeps it from sliding fast. The only think I need my daughter for is extra hands while tipping it down coin door first in case I screw up. Did the last 5 or 6 games this way so I only need my buddies for going up.

Going up takes more gymnastics so I usually remove the head on SPIKE games to give room to turn the game.

Quoted from alto:

You didn't account for these factors:

Ok, I will stop complaining about my stairs.

Maybe dont buy System 11, WPC or SAM while relatively new. Spike is the best option for your situation. I find removing the backbox to be easy and the playfield not technically hard, just heavy/awkward.

Never took any of the other modern pins apart.
