Deadflip streams Day 1 of Stern Stars restoration: lock drilling, playfield disassembly, parts inventory.
Stern Stars is a permanent location loader machine that Deadflip decided to restore after acquiring it
high confidence · Jack Danger explicitly states: 'This game is actually one of those permanent loaders and we decided to drop a few bucks into it to clean it up and make it a working game because we've never done anything like this before.'
Replacement parts sourced from Marco Specialties and Pinball Life
high confidence · Jack confirms parts sources when asked: 'We have them from all over the place. We have some from Marco Specialties, we have some from Pinball Life'
The leaf switch adjuster tool from Marco Specialties was initially viewed as unnecessary but is confirmed as needed
high confidence · Jack initially states 'just a piece of metal' / 'huge waste of money' but later confirms: 'You may need a leaf switch adjuster for the bumper switch I have a leaf switch adjuster That why this is awesome I have one'
Stern Stars playfield is clean and in decent condition despite some wear
medium confidence · Jack observes: 'And I'll tell you, it looks clean as hell, actually' but also notes 'This thing is a little filthy' and 'So much funk' on closer inspection
The game has physical chimes and the playfield uses rubber nubs to hold plastic inserts rather than traditional screws
high confidence · Jack discovers and comments: 'There's not even screws holding this plastic on. It's literally little rubber doodads' and 'You know what's crazy? All the plastics are held on with these rubber little nubs. It's insane.'
