HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! It's fitting that I start off the 2024 news cycle here with an article about Stern Pinball, the big dog in the industry - and if I've heard correctly the first company to show off a new pinball machine this year (cough, tomorrow, cough).
A couple of days ago, Stern shared an awesome video on its YouTube channel titled "The Move." It shows a behind-the-scenes look at the Company's recent move to its huge new factory. I'm always a sucker for factory photos, and there's a TON of good footage of that here. Check them all out below.
Also, I have a question for everyone. You know how Stern uses internal code names for its pinball machines, like the code name for
Jurassic Park was "Jaws"? What was the code name "Chewy" used for? I don't remember that one. There's a reference to the wiring for "Chewy Pro" in one of the scenes in the video.
