Quoted from Diospinball:Where do you get a replacement board at. Just curious. Just in case I need to buy one. But, yes. I know that is putting cart before the horse.
Cointaker also has them in stock, different colors as well. https://cointaker.com/products/stern-spike-led
Picked up a new premium today, thinking about some sort of candy orange for the armor. Anyone tried gold chrome for t-molding? Wondering how it might look with the colors of the premium.
Quoted from mjruser:Mine didn't, guess I'll install that too. Thanks who-dey
What is the "ball diverter" fix?
Finally set my game up last night, already has the metal protector in the orbit. Built May of 2019. Didn't get much play on it, had to be quiet setting it up so the wife doesn't figure out there is a new game in the basement.
Quoted from WizardsCastle:Here's a short video of the flipper issue I'm having.
Also checked gap on all switches, and everything looks fine.
Strange how I lift the pf and it works. Then sometimes when I lower it, it doesn't.Checked to see if anything is being touched or pressed when the pf is lowered, but couldn't find anything.
Also, here are some pics.
Couple questions:
On second photo, what is that screw hole for, and in the upper right flipper I noticed some brown marks (burn?) on the lugs.
Thanks![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Almost looks like that coil is touching something when the playfield is lowered down in the cabinet.
Quoted from mollyspub:Can you elaborate on this ? Did it just peel off or did you use freeze spray?
The new mylar on the Sterns is very easy to come off. Nothing like the old Williams games. Being that they place it over the clear coat, it comes up easily.
Quoted from PinMonk:Did you do the coil upgrade?
What is the coil upgrade? I searched and found someone trying different coils for auto launch, but no report if it helped out.
Thanks
Quoted from PinMonk:Look at the key post index at the top of any page in this thread. It's linked there.
Looked at those posts first, didn't see any mention of coil change.

Thanks, thought I was just missing something simple. 
Quoted from PinMonk:They took them out (cost savings?) then put them back in later runs because it was a DUMB THING TO CUT. Try testing your shooter lane switch with the coils always energized. DUMB. At least they put them back.
When did they put them back in? My 2019 premium built in May doesn't have one.
Quoted from Vinnie:My Maiden Pro built in June 2019 has interlock.
Guessing it isn't that hard to add one back on. Would like to see how they are wired, assuming they go into the cabinet node board.
edit - looks like it is tied back into the power distribution box in the head of the game.
Quoted from parsonsaj:I have an odd problem on my IM Pro. Any time I am playing a multiplayer game, once the 2nd player starts their first ball, the following callouts will start to be randomly emitted:
"Well.... I'm WAIIIIIITTTTTING!"
"Are you dead or something?"
I would assume these would be what you would get if you just let the ball sit in the shooter lane, but I get these callouts at random points during the game. They don't seem to come when some mode has just been achieved or anything, just randomly. They never occur on a single player game.
I think this may have started when I put in a clear shooter lane protector, because sometimes the game will try to autoplunge a ball after I already manually plunged it, and THIS behavior started after I put in the clear protector.
This doesn't really impact gameplay at all, just seems to be an annoyance and I don't think it's supposed to work that way. Anyone have any ideas?
Maybe the clear shooter lane protector is catching the shooter lane switch and making it think there is a ball in the lane?
Quoted from mollyspub:Where do these go? Can you feel a difference in game play?
They go on the flipper assembly, rubber stop for the linkage.

Quoted from Mancave:Would that not make the flipper sit a bit higher up though? as the linkage wouldn't be going back as far as the flat bump stops?
It may change it a touch, I'll try to get to my game and see what is in it. I keep spare flipper brackets and rubber stops on hand for our games. I attached a picture of how thick the thicker rubber is against a new flipper bracket assembly.
IMG_5823 (resized).jpgQuoted from WizardsCastle:Did your game have the flat base (thinner, cheaper) pads, or the cone base?
Now I'm curious to know how many games got these cheap pads, since the two friends I checked with had the correct (cone) ones.
Not sure yet, will check when I get home tonight if I get time. Sad, I only have 2 games played so far on my premium.
Quoted from PinMonk:Hey, thanks for the recommendation! The fireball loop and eddie cards brackets really help, too.
Probably my #1 recommendation, though, is to start with the quiet fan kit if it hasn't been done already in that machine. Those Stern fans are obnoxiously loud.
I can't recommend those enough, great product and makes those inserts pop now.
Quoted from DJY2J:Bottom one. By the 02[quoted image]
Dang, haven't broken one of those posts unless I was taking something apart. Of course the new manuals don't show the different posts used. Attached is a sheet from Metallica, shows all of the different sizes and part numbers. I believe this is the one you need, but double check your measurements. https://www.pinballlife.com/machine-poststud-530-5012-02.html
Posts.pdfSwapped out the launch coil with a 22-600 and installed a different shooter rod. Not sure why Stern can't figure out that the shooter rods they make are just a bit too small. Tip should be close to the ball when in a resting position, not 1/4" behind. Game launches the ball so well now. Makes playing the game so great. I tweaked the ball guide by the launch as well. Really loving this game.
Quoted from mollyspub:And the sound?
It does sound much better, will be installing a pinwoofer kit in the near future. I have them in AC/DC and Metallica and the improvement is phenomenal.
Quoted from DugFreez:Let's see em' lit up!
I should have 5.25" speaker plates available soon(ish) for this type of upgrade. They will be lower cost than the ones that are available now and if purchased with a SPIKE 2 Speaker Light Kit...they will be a significant lower price (less than half the price) than they are available for now.
I have been trying to get these done for months, but there have been unexpected issues that have slowed things down. I received a new prototype plate today and hope to do some test fitting this weekend. Early signs are looking good, so hopefully I can place my first order for them next week.
When I get the 5.25" speaker plates finished, I also plan on listing a variety of custom color acrylic surrounds on my website.

I'll take a video tonight, been trying to get all the games ready for Saturday's get together. Installing a shaker motor on the game as well.
Quoted from Daemin:Fresh out of the box, I couldn't hit the bullseye target from the right flipper. Couldn't seem to fix it. Then I noticed that the flipper would deflect downward while held up when a ball hit it, while the left flipper was rock solid. I decided to rebuild the flipper, and when I took it apart, I discovered that the coil stop was broken; the little nub of metal that is in the center of the plate had come off and was floating in the coil sleeve. I rebuilt the flipper with a new stop and new sleeve, and the flipper is now rock solid, and can hit the bullseye target.
Stern has been having a ton of these fail recently. NIB games fail after a couple hundred plays.
The lights can be set to be interactive if you choose that option, otherwise it is set with the remote. Here is a video I just took of them in standard mode.
Quoted from Angel:Happy to post that my Iron Maiden Premium arrived today, born on January 22nd, 2020, looks amazing. The one unusual things is that it came with purple powder coated legs. Is this normal? The pictures I see on the Stern website, the legs look black...or has Stern changed the color of the legs in this latest run?[quoted image]
Yeah, someone put the wrong legs in that box.
Quoted from Angel:They came with the package...the local distributor added them as a "thank you" for your business gift along with sleeve of silver jet balls. They don't look that bad...at least I hope they don't
Pull them, they will do more damage than good. Stern puts those leg spacers in to prevent the legs from touching the artwork and messing it up. Those big plastic pieces will start digging into the nice Maiden artwork over time. No need for them.
Question regarding the new premiums that people have gotten built recently, are they coming with interlock switches? Was thinking of putting one on if the code gets updated to support it. Just was curious if games built since last fall have them.
Quoted from Angel:Mine was built on Jan. 22, 2020 and the coin door does have the standard interlock switch killing the 48V circuit.
Thank you, does it in fact kill the playfield when you open the door?
Quoted from Angel:All the switches and solenoids are dead and do require the interlock switch to be pressed when performing functional tests via the service menu. I did not pull out a multi-meter to check although.
Thank you!
Just finished up installing pinwoofer kit in Iron Maiden Premium, man this sounds so clear. This is my third kit, can't recommend this upgrade enough. Removed the external sub on the first two games and the bass is so good with the powered sub inside the cabinet now.
Quoted from mollyspub:I've read someone in this thread about different colored plunger springs where one is more powerful than the other . Which are they?
My issue is the plunger shafts are not long enough. Mine is about 1/4" before touching the ball. Need to get a longer one than the stock stern shafts. The aftermarket ones I have put on Metallica and Iron Man have so much more kick, I actually had to tone them down some.
Quoted from snappahead:Thank you for the reply. So, you replaced the default white GI with frosted leds? What does that do? I've heard of frosted bulbs, but I don't think I've seen them in person. Would you recommend frosted bulbs for the red ones?
Any GI bulb should be frosted in my opinion, not sure why the factory doesn't use them as the cost is the same. The clear lens bulbs irritate your view when they are not blocked by plastic or posts.
I used sunlight white to replace all the factory white in my Premium. Also swapped out the red for frosted red. The clear lens are fine to use for inserts.
Quoted from PinMonk:Launches the ball, enters high scores. Great for location where people have become conditioned to using the button for such things.
That and shooting tie fighters in video mode. How many have gotten to video mode on IMDN?
Quoted from Fezmid:I've had the blinder kit since Christmas but just getting around to trying to install it. The first step says to remove all the screws for the Pharoah plastic except the lower right and then to rotate the plastic clockwise... how does that work? The top of the cabinet is in the way. I even lowered the head to see if that was what was blocking it, but no dice. I can't remove that last screw without taking apart the ramp from what i can tell and that seems like a lot of work for the blinder....
Am i missing something?
https://mezelmods.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003765213-Pharaoh-Blinder-Kit[quoted image]
I think the picture shows the playfield pulled out of the game, which would make the swap out easy.
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:Any Premium owners want to share images of their Powder Coated games?
I'm working on some custom metal for my premium. Going with some sort of orange metal flake color I think.
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:Sounds good. Pics when you’re ready please! Will you change the backbox t-moulding?
I think so, I saw one done in gold chrome, looked really good.
Quoted from RikeIsland:I am thinking of replacing my stock rubbers with Titan rubbers and I am not sure what color to go with. Any suggestions? I was thinking orange but would love some ideas.
That is what I went with on mine. I'll get a picture when I get home.
Quoted from Kkoss24:I like the white flipper.. can always top them all off but white looks good .The yellow t molding driving me nuts Does anyone know if they make a light blue t molding I e been trying to find out thanks .
Quoted from OSUBuckeye98:Did you replace it? I’m highly considering changing to another color..probably blue.
Put gold on mine, hated the yellow as well.
63182637364__E73276F1-B310-48BF-9D6E-DDB31E3799EB (resized).jpgQuoted from pluto:Took delivery today and love it. Can't wait to put more time into this game.
However, the decals on the side of the backbox have some significant wrinkling in it. I sent pics to my distributor and I hope we can get some new ones sent ASAP but I know Stern can be a headache.
Anyone else have this on their recent runs of IMDN?
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Hope you have better luck with replacement parts than me, still waiting on a replacement cabinet from 4 years ago. Keep promising, but no delivery.
