This was part of the package deal from the Pinball Expo and I think it was worth every penny. Three school bus loads of happy pinheads piled out to wait in line for their turn to see the goodies up close. They had multiple tour guides and took us through the factory 10 at a time. The floor was roped off to keep a reasonable flow going. It only lasted about 30 minutes, but I got to see every step of the process and learned a few things at the same time. They let us take lots of pictures, so here they are. If you ever get a chance to take the tour, I recommend it. Stern is the last US manufacturer of pinball machines and it’s amazing to see the process first hand. Enjoy!
