Wow for a Friday evening, the pinball and arcade news is hopping. Fresh on the heels of the Mystery Pinball Company puzzle, we have a couple of cool new arcade signs from Stern Pinball. I just noticed them on the Facebook page for the distributor Great American Pinball. The first is a new Pinball Alley sign. It's the more expensive of the two, listed at $1,999. It measures over five feet long at 65" x 18" x 8.5" and weighs 50 pounds. The second sign is called "Stern Decorative Wall Light." It is listed for sale at $449.99. It's a much smaller 18" x 10" and only weighs 5.5 pounds. It appears as though these signs are being sold through distributors. Here's links to the pages that I found this info on: https://www.greatamericanpinball.com/product-page/stern-pinball-alley-sign https://www.greatamericanpinball.com/product-page/stern-pop-bumper-wall-sign
