Since these systems use PWM for speed control, a cap is absolutely necessary. There are initial spikes (no pun) every time they are turned on. Is it simply an issue that spike can not deliver the power necessary for 3rd party motors, and the Stern Spike motor is just a weaker motor that can be powered by it? Or is it a design change?Ĭaps are used on DC brushed motors to smooth them out. I'd be interested in the technical specs between the stern spike motor and the 3rd parties motors that are causing the issues, winding, power requirements, etc. I'm not taking it that way, just assuming that may be some people's perception. I think some people may be confused thinking the full warranty may be void for any damages after a 3rd party mod is installed, even if not caused by the mod. as long as stern only voids the warranty for damages caused by the 3rd party mod. If you buy a custom topper, and the designer doesn't consider amperage requirements, recommends to plug it into J120 and it melts the connector on the board, and blows a fuse.does anyone really think Stern should warranty?Īgree with this 100%. Not sterns responsibility to pony up 20-30 node boards, when they did nothing to cause damage.what's next, "I dropped my game, Stern should pay To repair it!" Sure they can, and all manufacturers do.if you buy a mod and it fries your games MPU, how is Stern somehow liable to repair it under warranty? The game was working perfectly, and an untested/unproven part damages the game, its the fault of who sold the mod, or who installed it. I understand your position, but Stern and the mod community are mutually beneficial. You can't 'warn' people that third party items will void the warranty. I look forward to the updates and appreciate the fact you respond to questions and comments.īased on that, you need to seriously look at how Stern interacts with the mod community. Jared, I think you've done a fantastic job so far with Stern. This motor will be covered completely under the Stern warranty unlike third-party shaker motors. Stern will have an official factory authorized spike shaker motor available for purchase from any authorized retailer or direct as an accessory from the store and shop online very soon. As of the timing of this bulletin only a few third-party vendors are offering spike shaker options. The bulletin only applies to spike machines. This happend so frequently and so quickly that a service bulletin which issued to prevent further damage to machines globally. The source of the issue was traced to the third-party shaker and the way it handles electrical current. People who were installing third-party shaker motors into their kiss machine were finding in some cases that their machine was locking up and becoming unplayable. The tech line started getting many calls after kiss started arriving in homes. The PinOne option is slightly less expensive and in the Medium and Extreme kits you also get a service board included in the price.Yes, of course it's true. Medium to Large Cabinet Kit - everything in the starter kit, plus a shaker motor, additional outputs with a larger expansion board (Expansion board not needed in PinOne option, but it’s also $40 cheaper and you get a service board as well), and 10 solenoids instead of 8 and/or the 6 speaker SSF SystemĮxtreme Builders Kit - everything in the above kit, plus an additional expansion board and the LED light bar Small Cabinet Kit - comes with 8 solenoids and/or the 3 speaker SSF System and my KL25Z based 12 output board OR PinOne Board, plunger and the button board with an expansion board and 12 buttons (5 RGB and 7 Single Color LED) If you get both SSF and the solenoid option together, you get a big discount on the SSF components, so if you are planning on doing SSF in the future it’s worth considering it with the kit. All wires, screws, ribbon cables and everything you need to hook it up is included.Īll kits come with my main board that will give you analog nudge, inputs for buttons and plunger, and outputs to run all your toys. This is a kit that includes all of my gear in a nice all in one package, fully assembled and ready to plug and play. Now you can have a full virtual pinball experience, just like you would get if you paid thousands of dollars, but for a fraction of the cost and almost as easy to setup.
