Possible projector capability
From my understanding Stranger Things CPU's were flashed differently between the Pros and the prem/LEs to stop pro owners adding a projector. For whatever reason this pro machine seems to have a prem/LE CPU. I make absolutely no guarantees this means anything and take no responsibility if you try this and it messes up! However, I believe this means you could possibly add a projector to this machine but please do your own research. I ran the premium code and added a monitor and I was able to get the images that the projector uses to show on the monitor (see photo) usually on a pro machine you will not get anything showing on a monitor even if you run prem code. If you have no interest in doing this it has absolutely no affect on the machine playing on pro code. I've played on pro code the entire time I've had it except to test the monitor and it has no negative effects.

If you'd like any more details or photos let me know. Martin's been here several times.

If you have installed the current pro code then I’m sure stern have now fixed the board so you can’t do the projector mod.

I believe that’s only if you have a pro flashed cpu, this appears to be a prem/le cpu. I can get the images to show on a monitor when normally on a pro you get nothing.

But as I said, I’m not guaranteeing it, just sharing information about the machine, new owner should do their own research if it’s something that interests them to attempt.

So the game is running LE code?

So the game is running LE code?

To get the images on the monitor and possibly the projector, yes, you just turn off the tk lock. But you can just play pro code if that’s what you want

 

[Deleted member 2463]

ah ok I think I understand now this actually thinks it’s an Pre/LE which can play both sets of code. Whereas a pro now once you install the latest code won’t ever boot the Pre/LE code.

Weekend bump!

 

[Marvello]

Wouldn't a straight sale for a sought after game like this be the way to go? Still not too late to save that multi gym!

 

[Jib]

It’s too late man, it’s gone, it’s gone. Luckily we put more sockets down that end, it’s like we knew the inevitable would happen

If I sell then what do I put in the newly created gap!

 

[Jib]

Plus tbh I know what the last STh sold for so I’d want round the same but people seem less eager to buy at the moment so I thought a trade might work better.

 

[Jib]

Had a good think on this and put a few more plays on it today. Realised I’m being greedy wanting the same as the last one sold for. I’ve had my fun with it now it’s time for someone else to enjoy and free up some cash for something else for me.

I’ll be continuing to put games on it until it’s sold so play count will increase a bit.

 

[s000m]

God damn that's tempting.

I'd have to sell my TAF to get it. By that time it's gone.

One of the best looking pins out there

 

[Beowulfz07]

This was my old one, wonderful game and a swine drilling that dice for the shooter rod !!
It did have pinball monk coloured ladder inserts which are very nice.
I loved the pro, I didn’t miss the projector or ball lock.
Awesome pin

Surprised this is still available, I know one sold recently for a lot more than this, and others are being offered at a higher price as well,

Thought I had priced it to sell and quite a bit below the last one but seems people have cold feet over night. I don't want to spend more than an additional 1k for a nib that I might not enjoy as much as STh. I've got the space to keep it now, so that's probably what will happen for a while. I still enjoy the game, it's just my least favourite right now out of my line up but I've got 2 incoming so once those get here that might change.

See if someone you trust fancy’s a swap for a while, they are always more interesting to play when they come back,

I think the one you referred to had a topper, still its a great pin.

You no the market is slow when a ST sits around

 

[Lickashot]

Price point I feel is generous. I had this exact machine and it is absolutely gorgeous. From memory I paid more than this for it and sold it for exactly the same price what I bought it for, GLWTS

Same, from memory I bought for £6800 and sold for £6800 I even added a few mods! But it has no where near as many mods as.

Make me sick to think I sold mine for not much more with a topper, shaker motor, side armor the lot ><

Prices just keep on climbing.

The market is slow/prices are falling. I did a part-exchange on a PinBot that had been on a carousel of forum owners, all selling/buying at the same price.

When I came to sell recently, I had to slash the price to get it to move. It was the same pin and in better condition than when I got it, as every owner had done a little bit to improve its condition.

I know people think it's the bottom of the market that is falling out, but the cost of living is affecting everyone.

 

[Silverpaolo]

It will go at £7600 it’s a great price fran , stick it on Facebook , this will be £8.5k in two year when price of a pro is £9.5 to 10k

I dunno there are quite a few members here who wont of noticed the cost of living.... If your still buying and sell 7k toys AND affected by cost of living you probably need to re evaluate your priorities lol

 

[Silverpaolo]

People in this hobby generally only need to sell for one of two reasons : space or a new title coming in. It’s not generally because they need money for th-Asda.

It doesn't work like that. It's not that people are selling pins to pay for Asda. It's that everyone has resource constraints. If you're a billionaire, you're not buying a third private jet because the multi-million-pound apartment complex has gone up in price. And, it only takes a few people doing that to make prices in a niche hobby start to fall.

There's also a market element. If prices start falling, no one wants to be stuck on the sales carousel. You don't want to run out of space, have to sell something, and end up taking a bath on the sale.

Sorry, Fran. I should move this to the 'bubble' thread. Sorry for aiding the derail and GLWS
