Pinball (Stern 1977)

This was  produced by Stern Electronics in 1977 as an EM version and also a SS version.  According to IPDB, it uses the same rom as stingray, but we’ll talk about that later!  It has a set of unique drop targets that look like standup targets but actually drop.  Very fun table to create.

Thanks to the following that helped make this table possible:

Itchigo for his VP9 version that paved the way for this one, thankyou sir.

@32Assassin for helping me get the script together, for troubleshooting, fixing and just being there when i had off the wall questions or requests.  I think i also used your back plastic from one of your tables for Memory Lane and then this one.  Backglass, see reference below in Wildman thanks

@Bord for making a bunch of the primitives including apron, custom drop targets, primitive playfield, shadow layer…. and for being there to help me out whenever i needed it.

@Thalamus for play testing and figuring out some bugs that i couldn’t!

Updon, @posty90, for doing the great playfield redraw.  This table started all because i saw his wheel image he created at VPF for this table.  He said that JP was making this one, I talked to JP and he said it was on his list but it was a long list, so i took it over for him.  Thanks JP

Chris Edler over at pinside, for some great plastic scans that make this table really pop

@Arngrim for adding and updating the DOF for this table, Go update you DOF!!!

Lastly, but certainly not least, @Wildman for making the great backglass for this table.  @32assassin actually created one first but Wildman pointed out that it was the EM version based off of a few differences.  We should be able to use 32s version when the EM version of this table comes out……..lol..

Roms:  none included but easy to find

“Pinball” rom-  switches and lights all work correctly but the 3rd and 4th player doesnt work

“stingray” rom- 3rd and 4th player now work but the lights are not accurate

Read the IPDB for Pinball and stingray, they both say they use the opposite roms……..

“pinbalfp” rom- free play but 3rd and 4th player dont work

All available at VPF, i did have issues with some at IPDB, and all in script to change.

Enjoy
