Can you do a powder blue finish on the trim? I'm wondering if that will make it pop in contrast to the original artwork.

I would go baby blue on it. I had a story similar to yours. I found a Lord of the Rings pinball machine at a laundrymat pretty close to my house. The owner didn't want to sell it, but I ended up getting the pin for $1800 bucks (this was years ago when a new pinball from Stern only cost around $4000 bucks). It was dirty and needed some TLC. The playfield was so black with dirt and grime you couldn't hardly see the character's faces on the playfield. I couldn't wait to get it home and put a wax on it. I remember vividly the playfield colors "popping" as soon as the wax hit it. I still have the pin and it's been loved since I first purchased it, with additional mods and a color dmd to boot. Can't wait to see what your SP pin looks like once you're done with it. Thanks for bringing it back to life.

Great find, dude. I'm not a pinball wizard but I loved playing and seeing this. I can still hear the townspeople saying "hooray" in a monotone voice between each play lol

Wow! Jurassic Park AND South Park?? Top favs for sure. Nostalgia envy! Remember these both at the beach arcade in the late 90s.

The wearing of old machines is a double edge sword. It’s a good feeling seeing an arcade or pinball machine worn from play and good times. Not so much neglect and time. Glad you got this one! If you were to ask the citizens of Southpark, they’d suggest each leg a different color.

I have a Sterns "The Simpson Pinball Party" bought it brand new in 2004 and got used very little. I had it maintenance for the first time today and its not cheap. It cost me 375.00 dollars. I had all pinballs replaced and a chip added to the board that replaces the batteries that is connected to the board and he said it's good idea to remove the batteries cause they will leak battery acid and ruin the board. So now don't have to replace anymore batteries. The maintenance guy says it in pristine condition. Ask him about replacing with LED lights and he said it takes long time to replace them because there are 200 lights in the pinball machine. Love my pinball machine.

CoolToy, Funny story. I almost got to meet Trey Parker and Matt Stone. I was helping a friend at the time film a movie for a class at CU Boulder and after we finished shooting for the day, he said, two of his classmates were filming that night and were looking for people to help out. At the time, I was really tired, so I declined. Little did I know it was Trey and Matt, future South Park creators. A bummer for sure, but I did get to see South Park, before it became South Park. Trey and Matt did a little Christmas card video for each of their classmates and my friend at the time showed it to us. It was called the Spirit of Christmas. He said Trey and Matt were going to shop it around as a possible TV series. The humor was so raw and even racist, and had Jesus fighting Santa Claus. I said, there is no way they're getting this on TV. But oh how wrong I was. And I'm glad I was wrong. vgv

I'd love to pick up the TMNT one myself. I just struggle to force myself to fork over that amount of money again. Especially when there are still some older machines floating about that I can get for a fraction of the price. But it is certainly reassuring though when getting a newer Stern machine, that it's going to likely be pretty turn key ready and require little to no work outside of basic maintenance, and sometimes that peace of mind is worth the extra investment.

Yep, black or chrome is almost always the standard color schemes laid out by most major manufacturers over the years. The bright colored trim options didn't really start taking off until Stern started releasing their LE model options that included that sort of thing. I've always preferred my machines to stand out from one another as much as possible. Though I completely respect and understand the alternative to that where many prefer to see their machines more uniform in sequence of each other. To each their own.

@cooltoy

2 жыл бұрын

Let me educate you. #1 Stern Electronics and Stern Pinball are two different companies technically. Both have made pinball machines over the years, and have had Gary Stern involved throughout but are still different companies. #2 Before Stern Pinball was a company, it was Sega Pinball and Data East pinball before that. Towards the end of Sega Pinball and it’s transition into Stern Pinball, South Park and Harley Davidson machines were being made. The machines at the end of those production runs have subtle differences between the earlier Sega Pinball runs. Things like Stern branding on the internal boards instead of Sega, a lack of a “Sega showcase” badge on their DMD and a few other little things here and there. So technically speaking this is a Stern Pinball unit and not a Sega Pinball machine, despite its obvious early origins.

Go white.
