Need to thin the herd. Bought this in March 2011 for $3,200...very nice example. 0 mechanical issues over 3 years. Rock solid. One of the strongest, best playing STTNG's around. I've added ~$2,300 of parts to beautify it:

- All new ramps (Alpha, Beta, Delta, subway). $500
- All new plastics and protectors. $250
- ColorDMD. $400
- PDI non-glare glass. $300
- Shaker motor mod/board $200
- Black Mirror Blades. $150
- Backboard decals and custom painted ships/cannons. $250
- 2 new translites (Original & Alternate). $250
- LED's. $200
- New head decals (not installed). $50

Cabinet is near flawless without fade. One exception: There is a scratch on the right side of the head. I have new head decals that will accompany the pin. I was never motivated to add them, since the scratch is so minor.

Here are a few shots...can definitely take more for someone with serious interest.

Price is $5,500 OBO. Located in South Florida, but will ship with NAVL.

Thanks!

Games played? Pleasure of having it? Amusing. I'll give you a games played & pleasure discount of 0.

Looks even better in person. Gives the pin a more modern look. I spent considerable time playing with the back box lighting...made a huge difference.

Still prefer the gameplay over my STLE, however I've had STTNG for over 3 years and I'm hoping the upcoming STLE software update will improve the situation. Since I need to thin the herd, it's hard to justify keeping 2 Star Trek pins.

I included the prices in the interest of full disclosure. If I didn't include this level of detail, less experienced buyers might be confused at my asking price (which is a tad high for this title). This way, all the features are listed and the buyer knows what they are getting...not everyone is aware of what all the upgrades/mods go for.

The asking price of $5,500 isn't firm, and I did not say I need to sell for "what I have into it". It's clear that if someone wants a 4k example and doesn't care about all the "bells and whistles", this probably isn't the example for them.

Too little info, people squawk...to much info, people squawk. Anyone who appreciates this title & quality know my asking price isn't too far off the mark (in terms of what it's worth). The ColorDMD and PDI glass are highly desirable mods and most folks don't mind paying for them.

No, but there is one really small chip on the right of the "Rift" insert. Barely noticeable and doesn't effect ball travel. I can take closeup shots of the PF...it's a beauty.

I've bought and sold many pinball machines and know the ropes...sometime you make money, sometimes you lose money, and sometimes you break even. Not too complicated, but thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the support! No doubt that installing all the ramps/plastics is a lot of work.

I think it's an incredible pin/value...the dots and theme integration are best-in-class (especially with the ColorDMD).

Thanks Mike! I appreciate the kind words...always a pleasure to sell to collectors/players that appreciate quality.

I forgot to mention the game also includes a shaker motor mod/board...

Bingo. Perfectly stated. Smart buyers "get it". Never hurts to have more information and see what parts actually cost...it's easy to forget, and they add up quick. Since the pin had such "good bones" and the purchase price was fair, I decided to invest in this. I wanted it to look as sharp as it plays. The tech who tuned the play did a great job. It's given me trouble free service for over 3 years. It's one of my favorites, so it's no big deal if it doesn't sell.

Pin is no longer FS...STLE sold first.
