Stern were all solid state. The company was comprised of the manufacturing facility of Chicago coin that Gary Stern Sam stern and Harry Williams bought out of bankruptcy court in il. All 4 manufacturers Bally, Williams and stern were concerned. That bells were so strongly associated with pinball that all 4 of them back ended bells into solid state machines. The European market continued to favor ems for a couple years after 1978.
@@pinballshenanigansI agree with you about pinball history. Chicago Coin had plans for 4 games in the pipeline including 2 and four players for each machine. Stern made them as a way to increase cash flow while they were implementing their own designs and moving to solid state. The CC pinballs were: disco, pinbal (both solid state and EMl, stampede (2 player) and rawhide (4 player). Stern bought a company at about the same time called URL Unitary ?Universal Resource Labs who was actually manufacturing the Bally boards which allowed Stern to copy the Bally boards.
@@googpix540 Super cool stuff! I think I heard about that but forgot how Stern were able to get away with copying the Bally board sets! Pretty brilliant really!

One of my absolute favorites! Can be a real challenge. Rewards accurate shot placement and controlled play. Great video!!
I love stars! Thanks!!!!
Great machine!
It sure is!
Beautiful example and nice gameplay. The drain at the end was fun (and typical for me!)
Thanks Viper! Haha I know, typical drain lol.

I love pinball history! I think there were a few Stern EM's including the one called "Pinball" but they made a SS version as well!

I played this game back in the day
Game is over 40 years old now but very relavent still!
I'm getting Stern "Nugent" 1978 by the end of the month. It has solid state soundboard. This will be my first restoration.
Very cool! Congrats! I have a nugent in storage as well! Have fun with it!
This on is a solid state machine just not digital sound yet, that was 1979!
