Stern started producing home model versions of some of their popular coin operated models. These "home" models were also known as "ELG" (Entry Level Games) machines. Some had no coin door at all while others were made with a "blank" coin door.

3 Technical Info
Machines with "The Pin" in their names used Stern's Spike 1 boardsets, hardware, and power supply. Manuals and schematics were never issued for any Stern home pinball machines. Some limited parts diagrams were issued. Ironman Classic used the Stern S.A.M. system boardset. Star Wars is using Spike 2 boardsets.
