Will the HD ones work? Buy one and find out.

That size wasn't available in Superbands. Don't understand why everything doesn't match up, but 27/64 is the right size for the game in Superbands.

Where were you shopping? PinballLife.com has them. http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=3305

Finally got around to putting some EL paper behind my Hinges. What do you think?IMG_20150711_144113414_HDR.jpgIMG_20150711_144123676.jpgIMG_20150327_200909304_HDR.jpg

That looks great. Now ya gotta light the speakers.

That does look great. How did you mod that Pro? Looks like the premium translite and some other goodies.

signed premium translite, custom rails and hinges. ordered EL paper from china to light the hinges. EL tape for the side rails on the way. Lots of other toys on it.

Really nice looking machine there fox. Have to agree with Mustang, if you are already into the EL stuff anyway, you gotta get some lights for those speakers. One of the first mods I put in mine, and when I got my speaker decals from Aurich like you already have, it was so worth it. Not to mention how well it will go with your Sigma DMD. I'm still holding out hope that they will one day soon get around to releasing a full color version for ST. It's great to see them pumping out new titles, but I have to stifle back a tear every time I see them post on facebook a new one for something like Popeye or Southpark.

EL Tape came in from china so I lighted the side rails in Warm White, Very cool in a dark room with the hinges in ice blue. Not bad for a $14 mod for the EL tape. IMG_20150713_161233997.jpgIMG_20150713_161251373.jpg

He's seen and played mine so he knows.....he's just lazy.

Marco.

They fit perfectly.

Getting close to completion.....still need blackout mod (coming) and ColorDMD.....

Looks just like mine. Just finished putting all the Aurich decals on and sticking the factory ones away.

Install a shaker yet?

I don't see your speaker lights, grill plastics or the custom Aurich tl backbox led/flasher panel.

Oh yes!

Mirror blades would come before any of that.

Heh, technically the custom panel is Refinery's, I just gave them them the dimensions to work on it. A little pricey for what you get, but I'll admit it really is a nice touch. My favorite part was how the planet flashed blue whenever the left eject fired.

It's on my radar......assuming they make more.

Ohhh yeah, I love mine.

What's has stopped me from getting them so far is that there doesn't seem to be any room on the right side. I've seen install videos for Sterns where they say you can slide the playfield a little bit to the left and right...but mine won't budge.

I think everyone on this thread that has your tl knows that.

Well if you're not one of them I just checked, I only have 6 left, and then that's that.

Ok, finally,,,, I can join this club at long last.

Picked up my very nice STTNG that had been in home for last 17 years on Monday. Time to dress this puppy up!

Already installed:
o Installed full LED's and Flashers. (Damn pain in the butt subway!!!!)
o Herg's GI OCD
o Inviziglass
o Pingraffix side blade and backboard decals. http://www.pingraffix.com/#!star-trek-the-next-generation/cpja (updated)
o Flipper Fidelity speaker set http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=2901 (updated)
o Laser Cannons covers with dome (updated)
o Custom painted legs to match the Pingraffix art. (updated)
o New feet in black to match new legs. (updated)
o Modified pop bumper cover to cover the 3rd bumper (updated)

Already have in hand but need to install:
o All Hallmark replacement ships.
o Replacement Borg ship to paint/install (saving the original one)
o Laser Cannons actual laser and wiring
o Custom side rails to match the Pingraffix art.

Once I get this done in a couple weeks (vacations!!!!!) I'll post some pics.

I also was given a Bally ST that has been sitting in a basement (no legs on concrete floor) for many many years that I have not picked up yet as my winter project. No clue how it will look underneath.

One grail down.....

WOW nice score and score. Have fun and let's see the pictures when you have time.

I finally get to join the club too! Just picked up a Bally Star Trek project. It was dead but with a little MPU work it is beginning to live again!

Another one saved, good work.

Thanks! Still needs a lot of bulletproofing but it plays. Plus I've got the prototype plastics.

For ST owners:

I decided to do something about the stubborn drop target. Most of the time it works but quite often it did not register hard hits. Common Stern issue. I didn't mind when it failed to register one hit here and there but it was getting 4-5 times in a row. I scanned old threads and found something that seems to work. Supposedly, a red spring is suppose to be used instead of the blue/purple one like I have. Not sure about that but the easy fix is to just extend the spring out a bit and attach it a quarter inch or so short. Pic borrowed from the following thread about Metallica but exactly what I did. It worked perfectly with all type of hits for several games. True test will be over many games but figured I would share for those looking to try something.

Nice jawjaw. I actually cut my spring a hair short a long time ago and it's been working great until this weekend, I had about 2-3 bricked target shots. I may have to readjust but it's been working way better than factory.

Has anyone ever had an issue with a flickering light under the NERO insert on the Premium /LE ?

So glad you posted this, thank you. I thought it was built with hard reject in mind. It annoys me something terrible

Haha... That's funny.

Ok so i left the club about a month ago after selling my Next Gen and now i have a ST Pro on the way. is there anything i need to get before playing to fix any common issues/problems from happening?

You need to get a shaker motor to correct the problem of not having one.

Welcome back!

I think the two must haves are the kickout hole protector and the ramp protectors from Freddy's... They come from Germany but ship quick. I think you're going to love this game... I'm not into Star Trek but knew I had to get one once I played it. My wife isn't into pinball stuff *at all* and loves it.

My friend/lawyer came over last night to try out my machines (KISS not here yet). He is just as big of a Star Trek nerd as I am. He starts out with 3 games on Star Trek LE, 3 on Batman Forever, 3 on Next Generation, then 3 on Transformers LE. Then he says to me "it's a little after 8, I should get back home to wife and kids...but let me get one last game on Star Trek." Hour plus later, he decides that it is time to go home. Once he started to understand the rules, he just got so swept up with the game. If I had to guess, after last night (and more nights to come), I can see him picking up a premium around Christmas.

His wife is gonna love you.

Get yourself a set of cliffy slot protectors for where the rails\ramps drop to the PF if you want to protect the clear coat from cracking also.

Welcome aboard!

Are you thinking she loves Star Trek too? lol

Joined the club this weekend.star trek premium.jpg

I'm curious?, why does he need the ramp drop lane protectors? The ball falls directly on mylar

Ramps cracking/chipping at the edges are common. As far as I know, the only solution is the freddy protectors. You can get them off ebay. Stock post rubbers don't last long around the warp ramp. Replace them with clear super mini posts for longer life and better looks. There are many issues with the drop target like not registering hits, not moving up/down, and more. Fixes involve adding washers and spring adjustments.

The clear coat cracked where the ball kept dropping from the right beta ramp. At least it did on mine. I looked, and I don't have or didn't take pictures of it. But the slot was definitively starting to get beat up after about a 1000 or so plays.. It was bad enough for me to purchase two slot protectors.

So, I'm guessing your question is based on that you have a premium\le. Please notice the difference where the ball is released to the PF on the pro.
