Well, I "think" it spins better but I have no way to quantify that. All I wanted to do was establish that there was a physical difference. So there's at least some grounds for people who state that classic Stern spinners get more rotations and feel better.

Just been busy. I have no plans to go away just yet :D

For as long as I've been collecting pins I've heard how great the spinners were on classic Stern machines. I didn't really get it, they all seemed pretty much the same to me, but there did seem to be a different element of satisfaction when you'd rip the spinner on these games. I stayed away...

I love a good coin door refresh and, since the Meteor I pictured above had a mismatched black door that had also been drilled, I decided a little cleanup was in order. I took everything apart, filled in the holes with liquid metal and sanded smooth (remember to 'goop' it a little heavier on the...

I'd contact them and see what they want to do. You may be surprised by the response. Was it ordered from Hakko directly? On the other hand, your honesty may also result is some shipping/receiving worker losing their job. Tough call

FYI I'm sure most buyers here know the difference between an XMLE and pro, but it looks like you cut and pasted the feature list for the pro model.

I'm installing my 3rd machine at work today.... and two vids. I may actually have to list one of the vids for sale. They don't get played

Hey Dave, Have you got home ROMs for classic Stern titles? I recently picked up a Meteor and would love the ROMs that divide the score by 10x. It's too easy to roll the 6 digit displays. Thanks

I have a Motordome too. Not nearly as nice as yours. I got it cheap and figure I might one day do a Road Warrior retheme on it. But I agree that its not nearly as bad as everyone makes out. But I'm also a bit of a 6803 junkie. Just sold my Strange Science but still have this one as well as Black...

Nothing too fancy here. The faux brick walls were enough of a shock to my wife. Luckily I had the luxury of making my room from scratch so I planned the game layout well in advance and managed to run two rows of small dimmable LED pot lights roughly right over the players' heads. These are all...

Looking forward to playing for a good cause. Thanks Walt!

Long story warning: I was very excited years ago when driving to pick up my HUO LOTR. When we got there the owner turned out to be a huge cigar smoker. Now, I love me a good cigar but this guy smoked a LOT and in his game room. Now, I'm with Menace, opening up the coin door to an EM and being...

Welcome! Always nice to have some fresh blood... and another Bally 6803 aficionado no less :) Looking forward to hearing more!

That would be awesome Ryan! Keep me posted. Thanks

Hey everyone, I got a bit of an odd request. I'm looking for anyone driving to expo this year who has an empty load and might be willing to bring a game down for a friend of mine. He's in Minnesota and would be willing to come up to Chicago to get the pin. We've been trying to hook up all summer...

I love Space Station! The lack of inlanes together with crazy slings really keeps you on your toes. I think you may have my first SS there Adam. When I found another example in Buffalo I sold my original back to warlock and then it eventually went to Zod. It's known for having one of the coolest...

I drove down to Cuba NY a couple of weeks ago to pick up my Stern Meteor and the seller also had a decent Galaxy for sale. If I'd had a larger vehicle I would've brought back both just to make the 3hr drive more worthwhile.

Thanks Grant! I know Jim is super excited to bring this home to his family.

Soak that stuff in a bath of rust remover. Canadian Tire sells a couple of brands but this stuff is inexpensive and you can use it for while... even if it's black! It says it's non toxic and doesn't seem to give off any smell, which is nice. Get a small plastic tub and a couple of bottles and...

I got a buddy at work looking to get his family their first game. He was looking at early SS... I know he was wanting a sys11, but I'll check with him tomorrow and see if he's into it.
