The Sopranos Pinball Machine

The Sopranos Pinball Machine is manufactured by Stern, makers of some of the world’s greatest pinball machines.

“Party at the Bing!”

This fantastic machine will make a great addition to any pinball arcade or collection. Step into the shoes of New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano, the lead character in HBO’s iconic crime drama series that enjoyed a run of 6 seasons. In The Sopranos, you will experience all the twists and struggles that being the mob-boss entails: Daring heists, lavish parties and maybe cleaning up the evidence to some of your less-than-savoury crimes.

Climb the ranks and get to be the boss!

Features:

• Climb The Family Ladder: Work your way from a humble associate all the way up to being the boss of the family.
• 5 Episode Modes: Get lost in the criminal underworld with 5 different Sopranos themed events, including Arson and the Horse Race.
• Animated Safe: Watch the safe on the playfield come to life as you smash it with your shots. Blast the safe open and shoot inside to claim lucrative safe awards.
• The Bing: Shoot up the left ramp and watch the two pole-dancers twirl.
• The Stugots Boat Lock: Shoot balls up the ramp and lock them into The Stugots boat for multiball.
• Talking Fish: The fish is on the left-hand side of the playfield. Shoot his saucer for rewards, or listen to him commentate on the action unfolduing during your game.
• 2 flippers
• 3 Pop Bumpers
• 4 Multiball Modes

Condition:

The Sopranos pinball machine is in great overall condition with only some cosmetic imperfections. The fish on the playfield lacks his bottom lip, as is commonly seen on this machine. This is only a cosmetic imperfection though and does not affect gameplay. The game has received a full LED upgrade.

This is a vintage machine and can therefore carry small cosmetic imperfections due to its age. Some machines we sell are fully restored, where we will fit new decals, new playfields, new parts such as ramps, and even upgrade certain items, such as the sound components. Where this type of reconditioning process has been undertaken we will make it absolutely clear that this is the case and the price will reflect the amount of time taken and costs incurred in this process.

Reconditioning and Servicing – 26 Point Checklist:

Buying a pinball can be a lot like buying a car: there can be problems underneath the bonnet that you wouldn’t even know about, until they interrupt your fun!

It’s worth noting that pinball machines are complicated in their workings. There are pitfalls to buying a second hand pinball machine elsewhere, and if you don’t know what to look for, you can have an incomplete machine running at less than its potential. Furthermore, you could purchase a machine that is 20-30 years old and has a serious electrical fault.

However, every machine that comes through our doors undergoes an extensive 26-point check with our trained engineer. This service is exclusive to every pinball we sell atSternPinballs. All machines undergo a full PAT test by a fully qualified engineer to eliminate any risk. We also check everything including the lighting, coils, flippers, full mechanics, electronics and everything else in between. These checks ensure that all components are rigorously tested and working.

This even includes cosmetic touch-ups and a full wax clean. We complete this 26-point check to ensure your new pinball machine is in tip-top working order and ready to spend a new life with its new owner.

On Display in Our Showroom:

If you fancy checking out a new pinball machine, we have a fantastic selection of new and reconditioned machines on display in our showroom, set to free play, so you can enjoy a few games to get a feel for them for yourself.

Even if we don’t have the exact game you are looking for set up in the showroom, we can talk you through all the options available to you, whether you’re a pinball fanatic or looking for that single table to kickstart your own collection.

We recommend phoning our showrooms ahead of your visit so we can give you a rundown of every machine we currently have on display to try.

We are keen pinball enthusiasts and have experience of owning and playing a wide variety of pinball games. If you are looking for high quality impartial advice it is definitely worth paying us a visit. There’s nothing like playing a few games to get a real appreciation of how good a game really is.

Pinball Table Measurements:

Please ensure you fully check that a pinball of this size will fit into your intended location.

Coin Mechanism:

We sell our restored, reconditioned and used products to home users; as a result, a functioning coin mechanism is not included, because the machine will be set to freeplay. However, we do offer the option to install a coin mechanism, in case you wish to set your newly purchased pinball up for that traditional feel where you can insert coins, or even charge your friends to play.

For an extra fee we will recondition the coin mechanism in your chosen pinball and test it thoroughly, leaving it in full working order. Please select from the drop-down options at the side of the screen.

Warranty:

Home Use:

This pinball machine comes with a 1 year parts warranty. All parts that are faulty will be replaced. Furthermore, the first 30 days after delivery will be covered by a full on-site service where if any issues arise, we will either visit on-site or return it to our workshop to remedy.

For the remainder of the year, we can often solve any problems over the phone and supply any necessary components for the customer to fit. If necessary our specialist repairer can visit your home to inspect and repair your machine on-site, but this would be chargeable. After our 1 year warranty has expired we will continue to offer you complete support for any problems you have, either over the phone or by email, and can provide a chargeable engineer call out should it be required. Whatever happens, we will be able to look after you and your pinball machine.

Pinball machines are complicated items, which don’t like being moved about, nor do they like the cold or humidity. Therefore, if you chose to move the pinball machine from where we originally installed it, or it is stored in a cold or damp location, our warranty will become null and void. We won’t be able to supply any parts for your machine free of charge if it has been accidentally damaged or you have tampered with it in any way.

Commercial Use

Where a used/secondhand/reconditioned pinball machine is not being used in a home, but is instead being placed in a commercial location such as a bar, pub, cafe, restaurant, bowling alley, trampoline park, youth club, office, factory, or similar, we will offer a 30 day on-site service warranty should any problems occur which are not a result of any misuse or malicious damage. This warranty will cover parts and labour.

Availability:

Our pinball machines are available from stock and usually take 2 to 4 weeks to be reconditioned and to be taken through our 26-point check. Sometimes this can be turned around in a quicker time frame; at other times it can take a little longer, especially if any parts are needed.
