Finally, an upgrade to the large ugly Borg ship in the back of “Star Trek The Next Generation” that no one recognizes.

Upgrade to the most known icon of the STTNG series and movies, the Borg Cube, that everyone recognizes.

This is a two- part mod. The first part is the large Borg Cube in the center back of the machine. It’s made of green transparent acrylic with a transparent multi shade grey finish to match the original Borg Cube when the game is on or off. The original white flashers will light green through the cube with no alterations to the machine.

The second part is the right back corner of the game. This is a flat black finish (to match the back of the game) acrylic box that slides over the right side flashers. It also has a flap to cover all original wires on the game. This is installed with a 3 light LED strip from Comet Pinball and a 36” cable to connect to a 6.3 volt on the play field. The LED strip lights up a translucent blue oval with the United Federation of Planets logo. This LED strip is included. Again, no alteration to the game.

This mod in the game changes and upgrades the entire look of the game. It takes under 10 minutes to install with only a Philips head screwdriver.

These will be in production in one week for $199.99 and $18.00 priority shipping in the United States. I will sell in the order that I receive PM’s. I will not accept payment until I am ready to ship.

The first 20 will be for United States shipping and then I will start shipping out of the United States for required shipping.
The top pictures are with an LED strip. If you go down to the video you will see it in Borg Multiball with stock flashers.

Design concept: Danderwil
Design and construction: Chuck “Wood Chuck” Norris

We will have a large mod store with over 80 original items opening in 2 months. Many items that have never been seen before.

I will make a video in a few days with the game in borg multiball. I have ordered some Comet matrix 12v lights to test also. When I get the lights in I will do video of both.

Since we are doing the work on the big borg cube, we are also making a small Borg cube that will drop on the metal ball popper housing on the left side middle of the game. Should have pictures in a few days for that.

I will have a package price for both.

Also, the big Borg Cube & Starfleet insignia are very, very strong. The total weight of them are over 2 pounds, and are supported with metal brackets.

Here is a video of Borg Multi ball using the stock games flashers in the borg cube.

Figured I needed to start leaking things out to get some interest.

We have Been working on those for about a year. We will have lighted speaker panels for about 25 Bally/Games when we open. That prototype was from about 8 months ago, many upgrades since then. Working with Rich at PPS for some new plastic panels with shadow masks. Have a few of those in stock now.

Have Stern prototypes made and have been emailing with Stern on weather to use their artwork, make our own artwork, or per their suggestion, maybe an option for the Stern store. Not sure of the direction we will be doing on Stern yet. Probably take a couple of months after we open to start selling Stern panels.

We have a lot of stuff that has never been done before coming.

I will start a thread in a couple of days with more details on lighted speaker panels.

Thanks for noticing.

Thanks for the feedback. Are you aware that the renegade Borg ship that came with the game is only the top of the ship?

What do you feel would be a fair price? Remember, the main Borg ship is 8 inches by 8 inches by 4 inches, and the section with the star fleet insignia on the right, is roughly 5 inches by 5 inches by 2 inches. None of it blocks game play. Both sections light up. Less then 10 minutes to install.

I just get frustrated when I have someone over and they look at the game, if they say something about the Borg ship, 98% of the time they ask "What is that?"

Now they look at the game, and they say "that is cool as heck". Ok, maybe they don't say heck.

I do understand that mods are not for everyone, and some people would not take a mod if given to them.

To bad about the DMD, but that does match the translite.

Thanks Aurich, with your experience, it carries a lot of weight.

From that, it sounded that they would have gone with a larger Borg Cube if they could have figured it out. Sounds like the biggest they could do was 3 x 3 or 4 x 4.

"Greg told me it was his impression that non-trekkors, who
didn't know how powerful the Borg was, would not be impressed with the
"menacing" look of a three or four inch square ship."

Now we have what the original designers wanted, a big "menacing" Borg Cube.

Thanks tilt-master

Once we get caught up, we are planning on doing both Data East and Sega. We have a Frankenstein for just that reason. It took forever to get Bally/Williams figured out. Stern went pretty quick after that. Data East has one or two issue to iron out, but Sega does not look like a problem.

Thank you and yes. The lighted speaker panel for CFTBL will be in our first release. The panel that fits that game will be good in about 20 games. Unfortunately we don't do the sequence lights, but our panel will light up the orange sunset (that is what everyone comments on when they see that panel) and all of the stars. Plus another upgrade that I will share in a couple of days. Also don't worry about the power, we have that figured out.

We will have an optional plastic speaker panel with a shadow mask on it coming, we should have it when we open. Yes, optimal plastic speaker panel is genuine Bally/Williams product.

Sorry, wrong thread.

Some how I got this in the wrong thread. When we were making the Stern panels, their was no way on their panel to hold a plastic speaker panel. We had to work with other H, U and L channels to allow the original translite sit in the new panel, like the original, but had to add those channels to hold a plastic on the top and bottom. Took us a while to figure that out, but now we have about 30 different channels in our shop.

Have not specifically looked at that on Sega yet, just a general look, but we got Frankenstein specifically to work that out. On this entire project, I cold not believe how many problems their were. It seemed for the longest time every time we would solved one problem, we would find 2 more.

Thanks for the reply.

The blue star fleet logo is a plexiglass piece that goes into the black box, and can be easily changed to something else. If a few people are interested and want a different insert then the blue star fleet logo, we can do that.

We got caught up on orders, and have a few in stock if anyone else wants one.
