I played STTNG a few times at a local gas station years ago that had one set up in it's mini arcade. Just could not get into this game!

I picked one up cheap in a multi pin deal. This game was a turd that needed a complete restoration. Knowing it was a highly desirable game, I decided to go all out in the restoration. I cleaned and polished every part, new cabinet decals, clear coated the playfield, pinball bulb led's, color dmd, shaker motor, laser light mod and a complete ramp set too.

All this and I was still ready to get rid of STTNG. It's a very difficult game to get dialed in. In my case, I couldn't get those f--king gun turrets to work correctly. After fixing a cracked solder joint on the left cannon opto, I finally had this game 100 percent complete.

It's now a game I don't think I could ever part with. Top 5 in my collection for sure. I rank it right up there with IJ and MM. It's funny how my perception of a game has changed so much from the first few times I played it.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do!

mbob,

Where oh where did you get that translight? Love it!

Pinside archives has STTNG at $4300 so your average might not be too far off. I've found Pinside to be a bit low when it comes to pinball pricing on what I've sold my machines for.

I picked up a STTNG in poor condition a few years ago for 2K. After a complete restoration, it'd take more than 6K to even consider selling. I don't ever see selling it though.
