All my games are coming out of storage soon and I'm going to replace all the balls.

What are the best replacements? Anywhere in the UK that sells them or do I have to order abroad?

Watch @Gonzo video of the merits of each make against Stern ****e.
I immediately ordered 10 packs of the pinsound ones that were very favourable and being 8 balls pp seems very reasonable.

Mine came from retro dave

@Gonzo did mention on another thread, that he had been using the pin sound balls in his Godzilla, with no issues

Yeah, not had an issue on either Batman or Godzilla.

I think the chrome is a bit thicker on the multiballs and Chrome isn't magnetic so they haven't caused an issue so far. And they don't dent up like the Polaris carbon balls over time
 
I’ve been using them for about 2 years in games with magnets and withought including games like Addams and twilight zone fairly magnet heavy games with no issues
There is a small chance they can become magnetic hence there disclaimer but easily reversed with a cheap anti mag tool
Please do back order to ensure stock getting through as fast as we can get them there gone
 
I had them in a LOTR LE a few years ago and they were ok, they would be in the ring for a quite bit before I managed to knock it out sometimes!
That game was smoking, literally😂 (flipper coil burnt out and transistor).
 
I haven't had much personal experience with new Stern balls but I thought the consensus was that they used to be rubbish, pitted, potential to scratch up the playfield but then they upped the quality a few years ago and people started saying it was no longer necessary to replace them when getting a new Stern.

Did the quality originally change as I believed or not and if they did have they now changed back to a cheaper ball included?

They’ve been pretty **** for as long as I can remember, some batches worse than overs but Stern haven’t provided a good quality ball in the last 10 years.
 
For non magent machines you won't beat the pinballs I sell they are super shiney and a great price .

KB at New Forest Pinballs recommends them and has just bought a load off me.

Also have an order coming from Belgium of Pinball that will work in Magnet machines , I've had a sample which I have played in my GnR and CV with no problems so these should be here for Daventry with a fair wind.

PS No VAT on my prices :-)
 
Does anyone know if the Pinsound Multiballs are available from any other shop in the UK? Retro Arcade Specialists are currently out of stock. Thanks
 
Just get the ninja ones, every bit as good and a few sellers around. Don't know how everyone got so excited all of a sudden for the pinsound ones, much of a muchness

Thanks, yeah I've seen the ninja ones are in stock on eBay and a few other places but everyone was raving about the Pinsound ones so thought there must have been a big difference.
