Stern Tech School: Flipper Adjustment

[@rexdeanrds]

Loving this video series. Will be a huge help to have a well described catalog of tech videos as people get into this hobby/career.

[@expwarrior3809]

I agree

[@sternpinballinc]

Noted!

[@brendanc1920]

Another good addition to the Tech School series.

[@WoodenBoatGuy]

This series is a great idea and should absolutely be expanded to as many titles as possible (current and archive). One suggestion, pack each video with a few dad jokes just for fun.

[@sternpinballinc]

Not a bad suggestion haha!

i'm glad you're focusing on individual components in this fashion, and i hope to see these continue! i'm also hoping to see some "back-catalogue" topics along the way. in particular: my local arcade's Black Knight SOR has been having trouble with its shield "lift" function (bashes work, but the shield is not held up high enough to allow the ball past.) a clear demonstration of how to adjust that thing woud be a blessing for sure.

[@Manusmith]

Funny you mention this. We just had to make this exact BK:SOR adjustment at my arcade.

[@steve31785]

Seems to be a common problem! This is constantly happening at the biggest pinball arcade in SF.

[@carolinapinballs]

Great job Kyle!

Thank you. I own an Iron Maiden Premium machine, and this video is a timely gift. I feel I should repay you somehow, and here it is: Further and farther are not synonyms. An easy way to remember how to use them correctly is, farther is used when ever you're talking about a distance. (FARther) Further is used when you're expanding on a thought or idea. So when you're talking about flipper travel, you would say farthest extent of travel. Now go play pinball, drink an IPA, and start correcting your friends' grammar. They'll love you for it.

I like how the technician narrates the service video.

[@Bunjamin27]

This is so close to being helpful for newbies!

[@johnzigterman3250]

It should be noted that that little screw is very easy to strip. Should that happen, what is the best plan of action?

[@SwitchOpotamus]

Thanks! How about a tech video on properly adjusting captive balls like the ones in Iron Maiden

[@Retrosys]

Sneak peak at the accessories it looks like.

[@richie2116]

What are blades are in that jaws please tell me where u got them

[@Retrosys]

They come out Tuesday.

[@deorio]

Stern you just leaked all the Jaws accessories LMAO

[@cowboib4680]

Lol!

[@NARDO422]

What specific accessories are you talking about?

[@slinger2112]

​​@@NARDO422Jaws Premium models don't come with the upgraded side armor, art blades and shooter knob shown here. Some distributors have reached out to customers about official accessories already, so they're coming out soon, it seems. Definitely an improvement over other recent releases!

[@Pinbrawler]

No topper leaks 😢 Only side rails. The art blades and shooter rod are already apparent in the LE

[@guillaumerenou4188]

Those screws are so tight that it is almost impossible to unscrew

[@dvda1722]

we know now what the accessories look like just not the topper.

[@mcnillerandsons7906]

Out of adjustment? These games are brand spanking new why are they leaving the factory out of alignment?

[@loganq5152]

When games leave the factory, sometimes people play them. As they're played, parts may need to be adjusted.

[@chadsexington-wl7ox]

It's a mechanical device that takes a lot of impacts starting with shipping across the country and eventually being smacked by children and try-hard man children. Would you get mad at your new car for needing an oil change?

[@eva.cassidy]

I was blaming my misaligned flipper on shipping...

[@mrfuriouser]

Shit happens. Deal with it and move on. Your life will be better worrying less about silly things.
