Spooky season means spooky fixes! Jumping inside our Tales from the Crypt pinball to repair a smashed drop target. The real scare? Lifting the playfield without scratching those mirror blades 👻🤣

🦈 Have you tried our new Stern Jaws pinball at @BoundaryTaproom yet? 🍺 Perfect for pints & high-score shark hunting!

We even squeezed in a game while cleaning this morning (for “testing” of couse 👀)

Proud to team up with Boundary Brewing to add two new Stern heavy-hitters: Uncanny X-Men & Jaws 🦈 (so Godzilla isn’t lonely 🦖).

⚡Flashback Friday 👀

Dec 2023. The arrival of our beloved Namco Time Crisis 2🔫

Had to wheel it down a rickety ass cobble lane to get it into Dave's garage on a cold, wet winter's night 🌧️

It was one of the very first machines we cut our teeth on with repairs 🥵

👀 Did you know...
On Stern's Godzilla pinball 🦖 the main voiceover is provided by actor Keith David known for his iconic roles in The Thing, They Live & the voice of so many prolific animated characters such Goliath in Gargoyles & Spawn the animated series 🤯

What a guy 👏

Who's a fan of the stone cold classic Frogger from 1981?🐸
Looks simple, but so hard to master.
It always cracks us up when kids jump on and say, “Hey! This is like Crossy Road!”
Our reply: “No way kid, Crossy Road is like Frogger!” 👀

🔥 Who’s your go to team on Midway's NBA Jam from '93?

Are you repping the Hornets, lighting it up with the Magic, or going full beast mode with the Bulls? 🐂

Who else likes to settle it old school style on the court? 🏀
