America’s Last Pinball Machine Maker BringingIron ManHome

Chicago - base Stern — last of the great American pinball manufacturing business — is free a new “ abode ” edition of its Iron Man console . It leaves out coin one-armed bandit and some of the fancier geegaws , but it ’s a deal better than old home cabinet .

Priced at $ 3,800 , the Stern Iron Man cabinet is project for hard core pinball fans who want a nice machine at home , but do n’t need all the additional features of a “ Pro ” cabinet , like playfield magnets or coin mechanisms .

Since you may buy an arcade “ Pro ” fashion model of the same simple machine for$4,217.63 on Amazon — down from an MSRP of $ 6k — I distrust the “ home plate ” storage locker from Stern will be sold at a more reasonable rebate , as well .
