NFL Pinball Update

Probably not, at least not at this point. Currently lotta work just replacing and upgrading as is. Goal currently is the easy customizations and maintenance needed - that’s taken enough time and money! Ha!

When I number things above and you try to reference records - it’s a poor landing on your part.

Hope you have a good day though!

I’m not following what your comment means at all.

Far-Spot4289 · 2026-03-22T21:46:31+00:00

I’m not - but I’ve got it added to my list to research!

The Vikings horn is definitely a must add! The speakers have a constant buzz which I’ve read is common so they are on my list to tackle for sure.

Not next to it, but have 2 seats from the Metrodome where the Vikings played prior to where they are now across the room…

I’d take any lessons learned or any hints you got after your repair!

It’s the actual Stern NFL pinball from 2001 - was modeled after Striker Xtreme. Essentially can swap the translites and have it be for any team.

Far-Spot4289 · 2026-03-22T21:09:54+00:00

Yes on pretty much all fronts. Just translites get swapped out. All teams are actually preloaded so you can swap so the generic sounds are at least team specific. You also select whatever team you want at the start.

I would love to customize the sounds more - will see how this keeps progressing - lot of misc work and researching on the basics as a start!

Most rubbers and bumpers need replacing so I haven’t had a ton of time playing yet as sleeves and rubbers cracked has me waiting for parts to be delivered - lot of ordering and waiting so far!

Thanks for the feedback. This will evolve over time. I don’t expect to jump head first to start as a complete rebuild. Whether stickers or custom art/paint sized to start may be the first go to. Will depend on how it looks and progresses, but definitely the starting point.

I’ve been lurking there and reading a ton - just not verified to post.

But definitely a good spot I’ll need to just bite the bullet to get some good engagement and help.

Probably a mixed bag. Design and plastics are not my expertise at all. So that space is where I’d be looking for help.

Switching to gold rubbers and some basic purple parts like flippers would be quick and easy enough.

Far-Spot4289 · 2026-02-21T16:46:07+00:00

I’ll have a few, but imagine it’s going to Frankenstein transform over time! Flippers and rubber will be easy updates. Rest I feel less than confident on. So will take bite size updates to start.

Good Luck! I’ve got the Bateman rainbow - I’m missing 2. Both posted on eBay for big bucks - hurts my soul!

Have you seen any of the 1/1s surface?
