Awesome. Absolutely awesome.

Maybe one of the last videos ever allowed since Sterns new rule of no videos or no photos.

I can see why Stern are moving to the NEW factory, they need double the space for sure.

The place is alive for sure. So many people working flat out.

Great to see soo many pinball titles getting made at once.

I counted TWD Pro and TWD LE, Ironman Vault, Star Trek Pro and Star Trek LE and Premium,
A few ACDC a Premiums and even a Avengers Pro in a box.

I hope when the new factory is opened, you can order any pinball title that Stern has the parts for.
Because they will do a massive parts stock take as they move and reset up, I think we will see more Vault editions come out of the factory as a way to use up the parts that Stern has left over from previous years and title runs.

This would be very good for someone wanting to pick up that BNIB machine they may have missed out on in times gone past.

Cool video for sure !

Mainly Spanish chatter amongst the workers.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

I would work there weekends for free as well, ONLY cause I would try and find some super hot Spanish/Mexican/Latino babe to go out with... Lol

You can't knock the Latinos for working hard. It seems that they realise that the American dream can only be realised by working for their income. You can't knock people for staying off welfare.
Chicago is a very long way away from the Mexican border, probably why so many get as far away from that country the better.

The real question, is do the Stern floor staff proudly have a pinball machine in their games room.
Maybe someone has a real cool Stern collection.. Food for thought !
