According to pinball expert Todd Tuckey from TNT amusements a tech can upgrade and retro fit a Star Trek Pro into a Premium pinball machine if boards were added. I think a wire harness is needed, new premium apron to fit laser and kick back too. Is it possible to add the upgrade gadgets from prem to a pro, and if so if I bought Star trek pro for 6k and retro fit into a premium would I save money or lose money since the prem is going for 9k currently. Note: I'm not talking about the cabinet and RGB lights upgrades, only the tech gadgets like laser light show, drain lane kick-back, Vengeance ship upgrades, maybe upgrade metal wire-forms if it's a simple swap out from the plastic ones. if anyone has info if this tech upgrade can be done please share it below, thanks. see here-

Those are 2 different VW and Porsche. A better analogy would be Ford mustang to Ford mustang GT.

if you owned pro and prem Star trek pins, do you recommend Star Trek Pro for $6,500 or prem $8,500k? Premium is hard to find under 8k.

LOL Promium. I'm really not going to turn a pro into a prem but I think that would be interesting to see if anyone did that, since Todd Tuckey mentioned that in his video I thought this would make an interesting post. I really hoped to find someone that tried it.

WOW, very clever, thanks for sharing. This is what I was curious about if anyone done a prem upgrade. Is it possible to add a kickback?

After watching your video I'm sold on upgrading.
Fantastic job with the laser show, are they still available? If so can you share the link. Do you live near Tampa FL? I traded my Bride of Pinbot for Star trek for extra 2,500. I plan to upgrade... Premium apron, add kickback, laser, 3 LED mod ships, software premium update, metal wire rails, cliffy ramp protectors, color DMD, beam me up diffusers, shaker, dim backbox led kit and kickback lane curve plate. Might make an interesting video. I have 10+ years tech experience. I'll share the video on this thread when it's complete this summer. Star trek Promium like Mr Tantrum said

True I agree. I don't expect full transformation but Promium conversion like Mr Tantrum said. Pro goes for about 6500 and premium 8500 so if I can upgrade laser, kickback, color DMD, metal wire rails, 3 LED mod ships, warp ramp LEDs, I estimate the cost about $800 to 900. The biggest challenge is the kickback but laser upgrade was done already as seen posted above. A fun challenge makes for an interesting video.

-Can you link where you got the laser and parts, please for the pinball mod community?

I think I found it and order LASER green low, it's the only laser they had left. http://pinball-mods.com/oscom/star-trek-laser-upgrade-p-40.html
and TIMER / RELAY I found on amazon, please let me know if I ordered the correct stuff- https://amzn.to/3KXC5eV I'm in about $100
Do i need to drill a hole in the apron?
