I never take the manuals out of my games. If I ever sell the game, its awful nice to see the manual and goody bag still stapled to the side of the cabinet. My Pro Mustang had a flipper end of stroke break off, so I decided to look up the part number for that switch.

1st. The manual is just a photocopy and then poorly stapled together, so guess no more bound manuals.
2nd. No listing anywhere for the part number for the EOS switch in the manual, there are 14 pages of warnings and set up, and around 6 pages of useful information.
3rd . Call stern and they were to busy to get to the phone so I used there contact info thru the website, been 9 days no response, Stern is getting really cheap. I'll look in an older good manual to find the part number i guess.

Premiums used go come with a thicker manual. Not sure if that's still true or not.

I believe they have a fuller version with part numbers listed online.

That said, the Star Trek Pro manual, even online, has ST premium schematics and is lacking IMO. It is a shame that for all that money, they can't even print a proper manual. My JJP WOZ manual is a work of art by comparison.

I agree. Should not be like this for what games cost. Also Jersey Jack manuals are the way it should be.
