Not sure this would work.. 50/60 cycles thing. Would probably need to take the board set out of a normal LE.

My Guess:
He wants a German Kiss because the German Kiss will be 1 of 60, while the US Kiss will be 1 of 600.

I own one of the original 1978 German Kiss pins and would like this one right next to it. The fact that it's very limited doesn't hurt either.

hey Joe

I would see if any overseas distributors have a LE for sale

highly unlikely you can get a US Distributor to get a Export

but I will never say never

Looks like a Sweet Game

but as mentioned their most likely all sucked up as KISS is a World Wide Theme

I tried this route but Stern restricts German distributors from shipping them back to the U.S. You'd of thought the more pins sold the better.

You may be able to purchase one from an individual in Germany. I'm not sure how difficult it's going to be to switch the game back to 110 instead of 220. With the spike system you probably only have to change the power supply that is in the head.

Find someone in Germany who wants to do a trade.

DON'T ship the whole game, just the backglass.

Yup. Only thing that makes sense really. And it's probably realistic too, because there's someone in Germany who wants to have the only LE with the "real" logo.

Maybe see if you can post something on one of the German pinball forums?

Is Stern only changing the backglass logo? Didn't Bally change it on the PF (and anywhere else... in the manual, maybe?) as well?

EDIT: Granted, I haven't looked at the art so I don't know if the logo is even anywhere on the Stern PF.

I would think the logo would be changed everywhere on the game, not just the backglass.

Because it's original and no sane person would ever connect the runes in KISS with Nazi-symbols.

The German version is a figurehead of heavily overdone and misguided political correctness.

Yep, just like the banning of Wolfenstein 3Ds imagry, etc. Silly censorship does nothing to reverse the crimes of the past, and is just a pain to deal with these days.

Sure. Ship the SS backglass into Germany. What can possibly go wrong?
