Todd, It was a pleasure talking with you yesterday. I can't wait to get my Lighting Pin! This is the one I was looking for. Thank you!

But, but, but...we debated whether to use the Bally bat...since its thicker. The top flippers are the originals which were fine...but the lower ones were all chewed up!

Neat-looking machine. I almost thought it was a Williams machine at first glance. The only classic Stern pin I have come across and played is Orbitor 1, which is its own beast entirely.

Yeah, looking at the runs for old Stern machines on IPDB, a lot of their machines had fairly low runs. 889 machine run for Orbitor 1! Then I was very lucky to see and play that. Pinball Hall of Fame still has one, but it's been out of service for a while.

it kind of sounds like a washingmashine with that sound playing

OK ThePinballArcade , you really need to get some more old STERN pinball tables like this into the game. Flight 2000 is getting lonely. And this game looks awesome. This video has confirmed for me just how fast those drop targets reset in this era of Stern games. Insta-reset!

Don't worry, Todd. I am a long-time subscriber of your channel. I know how it works, and what the channel is there for. I shared this post to Google+, which is why it appeared the way it did. It's interesting to note that many games you've featured on your channel have made it to FarSight Studio's The Pinball Arcade game now. In many cases, I use the videos you produce to showcase how the real game plays compared to The Pinball Arcade version. What you do here is fantastic for pinball (in many forms). Keep up the great work.

Remember Todd, opening an umbrella indoors, is bad luck!

Stern really had some beautiful artwork. On the subject of the locked balls carrying over, Flight 2000, made the previous year, had that feature, but not if the game was shut off. It really adds a nice element to multiplayer games. All the players work to get the balls locked the first game, and if no one gets the multiball, they fight it out to see who will steal it first the second game.

TNT Amusements Inc Maybe Stern heard some complaints on that or an impatient designer felt the sting of waiting that extra minute while the balls got to the trough and decided, "No more!" And the carry over between power offs in Lightning was born. :)

I've noticed that Stern really doesn't care to acknowledge their classic pinball machines. That's unfortunates considering how great those machines were. Seawitch and Quicksilver were two of Stern's best.

Well, I think its a matter of space and manpower....BUT, if you go to the Pinball Expo in October in Chicago, there will be LOTS and LOTS of Stern "oldtimers" who will be thrilled to talk about their "children"! PLUS, of course, you can come to my seminar too!

This comment is ironic since Stern decided to copy Seawitch and make Beatles. Yet they still don’t outright acknowledge it. Funny enough the rights aren’t tied up either since nobody seemed to care when Classic Stern went out!

Stern was the first company to produce a pinball with synthesized speech, which greatly reduced the amount of ROM space required for a talking game. Williams' Gorgar was the first talking pinball, but it used several thousand dollars worth of ROMS to store the digital samples for each word, which severely limited the amount of speech which could be put into a game. With speech synthesis, only a few kilobytes of ROM space was required for all the speech in a game, allowing for a much larger vocabulary.

douro20 Gottlieb's System 80 games had just one small chip for all their speech too!

Awesome speech pinball. I played this once back in the day. Too bad that stern did not make an pinball based berserk or frenzy. And yes keep doing your jokes

What would one of these in working order go for today?

Yeees....I was restoring a Zaccaria playfield that was all rusted out underneath, but the original light sockets were still better than the replacements I took from a junked Big Game playfield. They looked fine but almost none of them worked!

the old Srtern pinball machines had pretty crappy lamp sockets...very cheap!

Todd, another beautiful game! It looked like the lower flipper power was weak and you would be unable to get the ball to the upper playfield. Could a stronger coil be added?

Funny, but I played this machine this weekend and multiball was earned by taking down all of the drop targets in this order: 1st - upper playfield, 2nd - center drops, 3rd - left drops, not the red arrows. Is this a setting that can be adjusted? Great looking machine. Pretty sick that I passed on one at a decent price this weekend.

sounds like a broken ground wire that powers the two upper flippers...usually breaks off at ONE of the two flipper coil lugs. Its possible it gets the power from a LOWER flipper...so check them first, since they are easy to get to.

probably better flipper bats anyway. altho id definately want gottlieb bats on my system 3s. anything else wouldnt be right. very nice Lightning, looks great.

@tntamusements

System 3 bats are fine...they are similar to Williams. If you have the original System 3 flipper parts below the playfield, you can't use anything else. I have gotten in System 3 games where the entire flipper mechs were replaced with WIlliams mechanisms, probably because they had plenty of spare Williams parts hanging around and NO system 3 parts!
