Williams, 1993Hi! I have issue with my st prem. When i shot behind center drop target, it's almost all time ball drains to center, and it's impossible to catch it without warning. I am checked level on buble near shooter lane, he is ok, also, i am used digital level and check level on glass near action button and on the glass near display, both, is ok. Maybe something else what i should to check?

Put the level on the playfield, not the glass.
Quoted from vbobrusev:What level i should check? horizontal or vertical?
Horizontal, the bubble does vertical.
Funny, I’ve noticed the same thing with the Star Trek pro I got this weekend.
Quoted from dougPDX:The transformer in the bottom of the cabinet is quite noisy (steady buzz) - is this normal or is there a solution/upgrade option?
Quoted from OTRChief:Do the flashers in the boulders and above the slingshots go off during game play? I see them fire in the attract mode, but I don't see them during game play.
Attract mode only.
Quoted from J85M:STLE back in the house! Missed this game massively!
Wait a minute……why did it ever leave the house?
Quoted from Trekkie1978:Wait a minute……why did it ever leave the house?
I loaned it out, don’t worry I would sell my first born before my STLE went anywhere permanently 
Quoted from Zitt:Does your first born know this?
The first born deserves it.
I can’t think of any first born, outside of Jesus, that is better than Star Trek LE.
Quoted from Zitt:Does your first born know this?
She will know about it when the time comes and I’m stood next to STLE waving her goodbye 
Hi everyone, does anyone know where I can find a cpu for a Star Trek LE (520-5352-01) or perhaps if someone would be able to repair one.
The problem is I have no sound but other than that the game runs and plays just fine.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Quoted from Ramzr1:Thanks in advance for any help.
Check with ChrisHibler for repair or Borygard - ( Rob Anthony ) http://www.lockwhenlit.com/

You probably already reseated connectors.
With game in play, gently push the sound section of the board, if sound comes back a little, board likely has cold solder joints in the audio section.

Hi Guys! Love my Star Trek Pro! But got an issue. A lot of times the ball keeps getting stuck after the popbumpers. Between the lowest bumber and a rubber. I have to shake the cabinet a bit to get it free. Anybody else has this or resoved it? Looking for tips. Greatly appreciated.

This is common on the Stern Star Trek models. Some have been able to fix it earlier in this thread. I think they put a washer under the screw? I just giggle the cabinet or wait for a ball search.
Sadly my ST Pro has left the galaxy to make room for another game. I just found this Cliffy kickout scoop protector for my old Pro that I never installed and I obviously don't have any use for it now. Anyone in the group want it for $20 shipped? Shoot me a message if you are interested. Thanks.

I think you're missing a rubber there. I would check the manual first to make sure. I'm not in front of my pin, but I'm fairly certain that space is too empty looking.

There should be a screw in the playfield to prevent this hangup. Turn the screw out and put a nylon washer or something like that in and that's it.
Quoted from TrekTobbyGermany:There should be a screw in the playfield to prevent this hangup. Turn the screw out and put a nylon washer or something like that in and that's it.
I think the screw might have been added in later runs.
Sticking a little rubber nub there works well.

My vault edition ST Pro has a rubber + a screw in the playfield at that spot. I haven't ever tweaked them. If my game is good & level, the ball rarely gets hung up there (but it can happen.)
Since the restructure of the top 100 rating system Star Trek (stern) bumped into the top 10 and seems to be holding there now, we’ll deserved
Do we think it will hold there for good ?
Only thing is a few of these new release games for 2023 are going to slot right in the top 10 and bump everything down
Star Trek is a very under rated game at times
Was my first NIB, made a great choice
Quoted from Fifty:Added my rating.
Quick question for everyone: Did the 2013 release of ST Pro include a shaker or is it an add-on? Mine has one and I love it, just not sure if added afterwards.
Add on, and I agree. It is a great addition.
Quoted from Nokoro:Add on, and I agree. It is a great addition.
Thank you. I have been curious since I bought it. Really adds another level to the game.
I know I should have added a Cliffy...
Ball damage at the ball entrance on the left ramp (left to the Vengeance), of course now that I've seen it I can't unsee it...
But... no in stock anywhere.
Anyone would have a pointer ?
Cheers !
Quoted from Ashram56:Anyone would have a pointer ?
Afaik, Stern themselves are the only source for most games
Quoted from Zitt:Afaik, Stern themselves are the only source for most games
Stern won't sell parts to anyone other than a distributor.

Oh that's great, can you send a pictue of it please?
Have been watching Picard: Season 3 on HBO Max and really enjoying it. Haven't really been into Star Trek since Next Generation back in my twenties and it's like seeing old friends on screen again. Never thought these old actors would come out of retirement to do another series, it's been fun to watch. Data is my favorite character, of course. Making me want to take my STLE out of storage and play it again!

STPro_Playfield01 (resized).jpgSTPro_Playfield02 (resized).jpg...aaand the dreaded warp ramp opto craziness has started up again.
Replaced the opto receiver and transmitter most recently. Had already swapped the little opto board.
*Sigh*

yeah; that sucks. Do you have the ability to skillfully replace Q4?
Quoted from Zitt:yeah; that sucks. Do you have the ability to skillfully replace Q4?
Cheers, I believe so... I previously replaced the transistor that controlled the orbit gate (Q... 26 maybe? Can't recall the exact number right now) without incident, so I might give that a shot... Have to grab the right replacement transistor first.
Before I try that I might try realigning the optos first... Maybe when I replaced them, I didn't... QUITE align them perfectly(?)...
I also want to try disconnecting or switching a bunch of my mods to non -cabinet power to see if that helps... There was a thread that suggested that excessive power draw during multiball could be lowering power to the optos just enough for it to have intermittent contact.
(Thanks kindly!)
First; I'd swap two opto amp drive board to see if the problem goes away.
IE assuming Warp ramp is doing the warp ramp shuffle... I'd swap it with something completely unrelated.
The design of the amp and optos is really dumb; very sensitive to resistor and component tolerances.
Sooooo, I've been mostly offline past couple years, retiring, moving/downsizing, ect,,, but I have not been totally on a pin diet. 
My contribution.. I added an STPro to my lineup that I got from a fellow New England'r. I shopped it out, replaced a few plastics, added a few mods and a shaker kit and Color DMD to it.
I have the 4th Star Trek (Bally) still in my 'to be restored' queue. It's really bad and I need to repaint and stencil a replacement cab for it before I start on the electronics/playfield restore. I'll have a separate thread for that.

ST is looking good. I see that T2 peeking out too . I have both of those in my lineup.
