Electrocoin, a supplier of arcade games, FEC games and gaming machines, has increased its stockholding of Stern pintable parts to meet increasing demand as a result of the growth in the sales.
Electrocoin spares administrator Nicola Farmer said: "We have seen a recent increase in demand from operators for spare parts and support for the Stern range of pintables. This is due to both the increase in the popularity of pintables and the age of the equipment being operated.
“Many operators fail to see the need for preventive maintenance but pinball players are discerning and the cashbox is compromised when the machine does not function correctly."
Stern’s popularity might be attributed to its shrewd choice of popular themes, the latest of which include Spider-Man, The Walking Dead, WWE, Star Trek, the bands Kiss and Metallica, Game of Thrones and Ghostbusters.
Electrocoin will be attending the Autumn Coin-Op Show on October 12-13 at Chelsea Football Club in London.
