Quicksilver (Stern 1980)

Classic early Stern table build with physical kicker replacement technique and custom ROM availability. Built by metated and sixtoe with apophis79 assisting on scripting.

Table-Specific Details

Mechanisms & Hardware

  • Classic Stern single-ball trough uses cvpmBallStack with one drain switch and one ball release switch. The first InitSw parameter must be the drain switch number (not 0) or the drain will not function.
  • Physical kicker replacement: the VPX kicker was deleted and replaced with a hole in the playfield mesh. The ball falls into the saucer naturally via gravity rather than being teleported by a kicker. Script logic was rewritten to match.

Art & Visuals

  • Playfield font identified as Classico Black (also "Classico Becker Black Regular").

ROM Variants

  • Custom ROM (quicksic.zip) available from carny_priest/Slochar with modified rules: free play mode, spinner counters with special awards, multiplier reset, spinner sound swap, drop target sweeping award, and forward/backward adjustment settings. Child ROM requiring original quicksil.zip as parent. Requires PinMAME v1122+. Available at VPUniverse.
