Cheers Ian. Of course the service plug, how did I miss that my Galaxy has one Never knew the reasons for the red paint though and I'm missing the badge on the back. My Seawitch must not be L&A, but what a game.

Shame the're isn't more Sterns around to try out, I was close to getting a Quicksilver for my first pin instead of a Gorgar but it was sold. (Never played Quicksilver either, but looks cool), and Pinball Shed had an Ali last year but I was too late, also an Ali on Ebay last year but I had no cash at the time. Classic Stern deserves it's own thread.

Stern machines were as reliable as Ballys - considering they were basically the same hardware. It was only the poor sounds on the Sterns post chimes that let them down. Bally has better sounds. Meteor and Galaxy were faster than any Ballys. I'm looking forward to restoring my Flight 2000 and Freefall.
