Quick facts:

The Story Behind Aerosmith Premium Pinball Machine

Stern Pinball shipped Aerosmith down the line starting in January 2017, the product of a licensing deal with Epic Rights that put “the Bad Boys from Boston” on a playfield for the first time. Designer John Borg — the same name behind Star Wars, Metallica, and a long run of other Stern titles — built the layout around the feel of a live show, and “Dirty” Donny Gillies hand-illustrated the artwork package in the loud, road-worn style he’s known for from years of band-poster work. Lonnie D. Ropp, Mike Kyzivat, and Waison Cheng wrote the code; Brendon Small, creator of Metalocalypse, voiced the game’s callouts.

Stern released Aerosmith in three trims — Pro, Premium, and a 500-unit Limited Edition that sold out shortly after launch. This listing is the Premium: the trim that adds a full upper playfield, the “Love in an Elevator” molded toy, extra RGB lighting, and controlled multi-color GI on top of everything the Pro offers. Nine of the band’s biggest hits play through the game — Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion, Dream On, Love in an Elevator among them — on a Stern SPIKE 2 platform with a full-color LCD display and a 3-channel high-fidelity sound system.

Pinball trivia: Jacky, the mischievous mascot who lives inside the game’s central toy box, was created specifically for this machine — there’s no other appearance of the character anywhere in the Aerosmith catalog.

Pinsiders rate this game strong: an 8.091 out of 10 average across 149 approved ratings, putting it 1st within the “Aerosmith” game group on Pinside’s community rankings. The ball-throwing mechanism inside Jacky’s Toy Box gets singled out constantly in player reviews as one of the most satisfying lock mechanisms Stern has ever built.

Features & Gameplay

What “Mint” Actually Means on This Unit

We don’t hand out our top grade loosely. This cabinet carries its original purple “Stone” art package and hand-drawn translite exactly as Stern shipped it in 2017 — no touch-ups, no reproduction decals. No meaningful playfield wear, and the LCD display shows no ghosting or burn-in. We’ve tested and confirmed every mechanism specific to this title — Jacky’s Toy Box, the ball-throwing magnet, the “Love in an Elevator” upper-playfield toy, the upper flipper and target bank, the Rats in the Cellar spinner — and the game is running current Stern software.

If you’d like the specific service log for this individual cabinet — what we inspected, cleaned, or updated — ask before you order and we’ll walk you through it.

Two Ramps, an Upper Playfield, and Stern’s Most-Talked-About Ball Lock

Aerosmith Premium runs 3 flippers (including a dedicated flipper on the upper playfield), 3 pop bumpers with RGB LED lighting, and 2 ramps built from steel entrance sections into chrome wireform returns. Between the 9 Aerosmith spell-out stand-up targets, the “Sneak In” skill shot, the “Crank It Up” scoop, and the Elevator ball scoop, there’s no shortage of shots to chase — and players choose their own stakes going into multiball, locking in 3, 4, 5, or 6 balls at a time.

The Signature Toy: Jacky in the Toy Box

An interactive ball-throwing magnet and an airborne kicker launch the pinball physically into Jacky’s 3D-sculpted toy box to start a lock — the mechanism players consistently call out as one of the best ball locks in modern pinball. The Premium trim builds on top of that with a real upper playfield: an upper flipper, 5 additional targets, a drop shot back down to the main field, and an orbit routed through a control-gate diverter, all ringed by 5 mini dome flashers. The “Love in an Elevator” toy sits up there too, guarded by a drop target on the main playfield — a Premium-only feature the Pro trim doesn’t have. Layer in 14 color-changing RGB LEDs under the main playfield inserts and controlled multi-color general illumination, and this is the most visually dense version of the game Stern built.

Aerosmith Premium Pinball Machine vs. Other Stern Rock Machines

We also carry the Metallica Premium Pinball Machine, another John Borg-designed Stern release in a similar price range. Metallica leans into a darker, faster ruleset built around the Coffin lock and the Sparky electric-chair toy — more aggressive, more punishing. Aerosmith plays looser and more toy-driven, built around Jacky’s Toy Box and a genuinely deep upper playfield. If you want the ball lock players talk about most and the fuller Premium-trim feature set, Aerosmith earns its spot next to it.

Condition: Our Sourcing, Diagnostic & Service Process

Every classic we sell goes through the same process — we don’t cut corners, even on lower-priced tables. We source from private collectors, home arcades, and licensed route operators, never blind auctions, so we know the history of what we’re buying. From there it goes through a full electrical, mechanical, and playfield audit, photographed and logged as we go.

This cabinet is all-original — no repainting, no reproduction decals or plastics. Our work here is deep service, not cosmetic restoration: rubber ring replacement, LED and coil checks, switch and node testing across the SPIKE 2 boardset, a software update to the latest official code, plus a full cabinet cleaning, waxing, and detailing pass. Only after it passes that process — and earns a “Mint” grade rather than “Excellent” or “Good” — do we crate it for insured freight.

Want current photos and a rundown of exactly what we did to this unit? Just ask before you order.

What’s Included

Your purchase includes the complete cabinet — playfield glass installed, balls secured for transit — plus the coin door and its keys, the power cord, and the owner’s manual.

Like most machines we ship freight, the four legs travel detached inside the crate, since a 250 lb cabinet standing on its legs isn’t stable for pallet freight. Reattaching them is a straightforward job with a socket wrench, or our two-person crew handles it with our Delivery + Setup option — they unpack, level, and get it ready to play.

Questions about spare fuses, replacement plastics, or documentation? Ask us directly before you order.

Shipping & Delivery Aerosmith Premium Pinball Machine

Delivery is free for in-state Missouri orders. Outside Missouri, we price freight by service level and confirm it against your ZIP code before charging you anything:

These figures move with distance and location — call or WhatsApp us with your ZIP code for an exact quote. This machine is in stock, so it ships promptly once we confirm your order; most deliveries arrive 1-5 days after leaving our facility.

We palletize machines in a custom-built crate for freight-grade handling and secure loose components inside the cabinet before it leaves our dock. Inspect the crate before you sign for it — note any visible damage on the carrier’s paperwork, photograph anything that looks off, and hold onto the crate and packing materials until we resolve everything. You can report concealed damage within 24-36 hours of delivery, but damage caught and documented at the door makes the fastest claim.

Warranty Coverage

This Aerosmith Premium shipped from Stern in 2017 and, like most titles from that era of the lineup, isn’t backed by an active manufacturer support line anymore. Solid State Pinball backs it with our own 30-day functional warranty, running from your delivery date:

Covered: electronics and circuit boards · playfield mechanics and switches · displays · power supply and wiring · cabinet damage reported at delivery · shipping damage reported on arrival

Not covered: damage after delivery or during customer handling · normal wear items (rubber rings, bulbs, balls) · cosmetic wear beyond what we disclosed · power surge/voltage/misuse damage · aftermarket modifications or third-party repairs · damage from incorrect relocation

Filing a claim is simple: contact us within 30 days, describe the issue, send photos or a short video. We aim to respond within 24 hours, then repair, ship a part, exchange the unit, or refund — whichever fits.

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee & Return Policy

Separate from the functional warranty, every machine we sell — new, used, or restored — carries our standard 30-day return window from delivery. Not right for you? Contact us within 30 days and we’ll work through a repair, replacement, or refund.

• Change-of-mind returns: you cover return freight; machine goes back in its original crate or equivalent protective packaging, same condition it arrived in.
• Damaged or defective returns: we cover return shipping and arrange freight pickup — no cost to you.
• Refund timeline: 5-7 business days after we receive and inspect the return.
• Before it ships: cancel any time before the machine leaves our facility for a full refund.

Why Buy This Aerosmith Premium Pinball Machine Now

Real scarcity, not marketing hype. Stern’s original Aerosmith run started and ended in 2017, and the title hasn’t reappeared in the company’s current production lineup since. A Premium in genuine Mint condition, fully serviced and ready to ship immediately, doesn’t sit around long once collectors and fans find it.

A different kind of moment for the band. In August 2024, Aerosmith announced it was retiring from touring for good, citing Steven Tyler’s vocal injury and ending more than five decades on the road. That closes the door on ever seeing the band live again — for a lot of fans, this machine is now the closest thing to it.

A genuinely well-built game. Aerosmith Premium sits at an 8.091 out of 10 average across 149 approved Pinside ratings, ranking 1st in the game’s own group on the site’s community rankings. Jacky’s Toy Box, the upper playfield, and the choose-your-own-multiball ruleset have kept this one in serious rotation for going on a decade.

Add our own coverage on top: a 30-day functional warranty plus a separate 30-day money-back guarantee, backed by a team that’s been restoring and shipping these machines for 20+ years.

Frequently Asked Questions – Aerosmith Premium Pinball Machine

Is this Aerosmith Premium Pinball Machine new, used, or restored?

It’s an original 2017 Stern Premium — all-original, never repainted or reproduction-decaled. We’ve fully inspected, tested, and updated it to Mint condition through our sourcing-diagnostic-service process, including a current software update. Not brand-new-in-box, and not an untouched, unserviced used table either.

What does “Mint condition” actually mean here?

No meaningful playfield wear, a clean cabinet and translite, and a display free of ghosting or burn-in. We test and confirm every mechanism — Jacky’s Toy Box, the ball-throwing magnet, the upper playfield, the “Love in an Elevator” toy — before it ships.

What’s the difference between the Pro, Premium, and LE versions? The Pro plays the core game without an upper playfield. Premium adds the full upper playfield (extra flipper, 5 targets, orbit diverter), the “Love in an Elevator” toy, 14 color-changing RGB LEDs, and controlled multi-color GI. The LE adds a signed mini-playfield, a numbered plate, and different art on top of everything the Premium has — and was capped at 500 units.

What’s included with the machine?

The complete cabinet with playfield glass and balls installed, plus coin door and keys, the power cord, and the owner’s manual. The four legs ship detached — reinstall them yourself, or our crew does it with Delivery + Setup.

Is Aerosmith Premium Pinball Machine still in production?

No. Stern’s original run shipped starting in January 2017, and the title isn’t part of Stern’s current active lineup. Once available inventory like this one sells, sourcing another comes down to the secondary market.

Do you ship Aerosmith pinball machines across the USA?

Yes. Delivery is free within Missouri. For other states, we quote by delivery tier (curbside, in-home, or full setup) and confirm the cost to your ZIP code before you order.

Do you have an Aerosmith Premium pinball machine for sale near Kansas City or San Antonio?

Yes — this unit ships from our Kansas City, MO showroom with free in-state delivery, and we regularly deliver to Texas including San Antonio. Contact us with your ZIP code for an exact freight quote and timeline.

What if my pinball machine arrives damaged?

Inspect the crate before signing for it and document any damage immediately with photos. We cover shipping damage reported at delivery under our warranty and delivery-damage process.

What warranty comes with this machine?

Our 30-day functional warranty covers electronics, playfield mechanics, displays, power supply, and the cabinet — separate from, and in addition to, our 30-day money-back guarantee.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

Yes — 30 days from delivery. Change-of-mind returns cover their own return freight in the original crate; damaged or defective returns cost you nothing to send back.
