Starting a thread for my ownership log of this KK Premium. I picked up this machine from a seller in Fredricksberg, VA. The upgrades to this machine at time of sale are:

• Violet “fractured” Powder coat for rails, hinges, lock-down bar, and coin door.
• Game blades
• Stern Shaker
• Stern Speaker lights, LE version.
• Upgraded speakers, 5 1/4" back box and Boom Boom Bass Speaker
• KK Train Mod. Prevents balls from coming out of the back of train during multi-ball.
• KK chains mod

The powder coating is a nice touch that blends with the color theming very well. I think the only things missing from completing an LE look-alike are the translite and speaker grilles.

This is my first Spike platform game. Just opening it and up studying it a bit was pretty fun since my only former frame of reference is WPC(-95) and Whitestar platforms with their expansive electronics and wiring looms.

I was excited to get KK too after having played probably 30ish games on it during tournaments. The theme is evergreen and Stern’s take on it in this iteration is well done. The layout has enough variety to keep it interesting and the multi-ball is challenging to get a good run on with the need for a lot of upper playfield interaction to light jackpots.

This will likely be a long-term keeper. I’m currently at 3 machines but am planning on expanding to around 8-10.
