So not sure what to make of this.

My auto plunge has been getting progressively weaker to the point where the ball won't make to the rollover targets at the top. I oiled the mechanism and tried to stretch the spring but no change.

Tonight I installed a shaker motor that I got for Christmas.

First game and the auto plunge is firing at full strength like new.

WTH happened?

I got an upgraded red laser from Cointaker for Christmas. Got everything hooked up relatively easy, but I must say I'm disappointed. It's maybe a teeny bit brighter. Anyone else disappointed with the upgraded laser?

Still baffled by what the alligator clips portion does. I hooked it up as instructed, but the white 2 pin connector doesn't seem to hook to anything. Not exactly sure what this does. Instructions were spartan.

Anyone else have an issue with being able to increase the volume of the speech/callouts on their Stern ST?

Whenever I increase the #51 Speech Adjustment it actually DECREASED the call outs. So ... I reduced it to ZERO, then finally down to NEGATIVE 20 and in each case it got louder and louder. Finally, I can hear the game speech clearly. Why is this seemingly coded in reverse?

Here is where I ended up after great feedback from fellow Pinsiders ... love these settings ...

Under standard adjustments
#47 Music Volume = 1

Under feature adjustments
#50 Music Volume = zero
#51 Speech adjustment = Minus 20

Yup the less the volume the louder it gets.
Not sure why its coded this way, but it is.
All the volumes on ST are reverse like this.

Thanks for confirming I'm not losing it ... I wonder if this could be fixed in a code update? If so, I wonder why it has not yet been fixed? I went several months with barely being able to hear the call outs and not thinking there was anything I could do about it. To be honest, it was one of my only complaints surrounding the gameplay.

In my metallica instead of volume it's called attenuation. I think that makes sense that negative attenuation would make something have a stronger signal. But in terms of volume.. it's not the normal that we are used to.

Hello all. I recently got the star trek pro. It's my first pinball machine. I enjoy all the posts on here. I look forward to making some new friends on here.

Welcome shooter!

Congrats and welcome!

Finally. All 4 together.

Got a couple mods from Zitt

Great stuff and great shpping costs and prices

Highly recommended for mods

Very nice! Harder to achieve than you think! How long did it take you?

Not terribly long a little over three months, but I had to let a few great machines go in trades. I lucked into a data east, took it as partial trade towards an Addams I had redone back in September. I put an add up on pinside for bally star trek, and found someone who met me at the white rose gameroom show in october who had an original prototype backglass and CPR playfield/plastics. The Star Trek LE I traded a restored funhouse sample/prototype plus cash in November, and just found this STTNG on facebook for sale up in PA. Drove up and paid cash for it.

I also have a vector star trek (asteroids conversion) arcade in the garage that I'm working on redoing as well!

so... you just need voyage gun game and the mirror universe and youll have a collection equal to mine.

I love seeing the four together like that!

Getting a mirror universe is going to be pretty tough.

Then come to tpf'16... all 4 plus mirror and voyager are will be the in my area... side by side

Would anyone be interested in a set of brand new unused, asteroid pin blades.
Send me a pm.

P. M. Sent (edit) Got the Pinblades from Golfigndad. Great seller, product exactly as described and fast shipping. Two thumbs up!

Nice. One of the few who have all 4.

Anyone have a source for alternate translights for my ST-Pro ???

Searched Ebay and web came up with nothing in the US. Someone did a nice one a year ago but has gone off the radar ( copyright reasons I assume) .

Santa brought me a ST-Pro and its not only beautiful to look at but a really fun game. I am not a Star Trek Movie guy, so the translight really isn't appealing to me, someone please reply a solution , or PM me if you would rather remain anonymous .
Thanks,
Joey P

arich no longer offers them as Stern sent him a request.
your only option is secondhand.

I was wondering if anyone has or had issues with the Vengeance ship on Star Trek Prem or LE turning drastically to the right. I looked at the cabling on my machine and tried everything and cannot get the ship to stay straight. I don't believe any other adjustments are available on the ship. I was wondering the different techniques people used to get this accomplished. It has been happening from day one. Thanks for the help.

Yeah. I've given up trying to keep it straight

take the glass off.. adjust accordingly.. cry when it immediately goes back to one side and tilted.

I don't know. I tend to think the ship is supposed to be tilted somewhat. Like it is coming out of a sharp turn and zeroing in on you. I like it like that.

Mine is exactly the same. Learned to love it pointing to the right ... 'cause I couldnt make it stay straight!

Ok I am officially in, Picked this beauty up Saturday from a friend, was new out of box with Zero plays. A signed by Steve Ritchie playfield to boot! I was on the fence for either a TWD prem. or the STLE I am liking my decision plus this seems to be a pretty much a unobtainium pin at this point.

Congrats! I think all LE playfields are signed by Steve ritchie.

Mine is so to the right you cant see the top lanes. I tried everything. I am getting to the point where I dont care. lol. Thanks for the ideas everyone.

That LE is amazing. I would have loved to get one. I fell very fortunate that I got the poor mans LE. Love the extra lights

How many games do you guys have on your machines?
I'd this common, anyone else?

Correct. Was one of the reasons for me price... that and potatoes

We pay in the thousands for these machines, couldn't they have like the designer sign the Pros then in the LE and Prems, have Gary Stern and designer?

Trekkie, I checked that post out already. Didn't quite help me. My ship leans to the right, Elf's leaned to the left. I also tried some of his fixes which did not work unfortunately. Mine is incredibly crooked. I will look at it when I have time and some patience.

I just installed Zitt's Pop Bumper Caps. They look great. Great mod Zitt. Video and Website links listed below.

Welcome Shooter glad you could make it!! How odd,my ST/pre doesn't have volume trouble,or,my vengeance doesn't lean to the right,either!!!HMMMM

I found that the cable management clips weren't allowing the wiring enough play to keep the ship straight, so I just removed them completely. The ship straightened out and I haven't had any issues with the wires getting caught or snagged on anything.

I suspected the cable tie being too taught as well.

ENTERPRISE AMOK!!!!

After five months and maybe 1900 games (with five ball game and generous extra ball awards at 50, 100, 150, and 200 million) I finally ran Amok.

It was glorious. I knew on my second ball I had a chance. Everything was flowing beautifully.

I didn't complete it and I'm not sure what was happening, but it was AMOK!

Congrats!

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the flashers in attract mode on STLE?
The flashing is a bit much when you share a living space with your pins.

I use the power button.

Selling a STTNG in Central IL. PM me if interested and I can get you details.

Wondering if anyone here has experienced this same problem with their Stern machine (mine's a Pro) and/or can provide troubleshooting tips on how to find where the problem is. I've got an intermittent problem where, sometimes when the ball is in play, the machine will think the ball has drained-- the flippers die (as happens when the ball normally drains), and a new ball will be ejected into the shooter lane.

This started a couple of months ago, a month or so after I got the game (I'm not the 1st owner), and was then happening once every 20 games or so, but the frequency has recently increased. I've looked around under the playfield for loose connections, assuming that one of the outlanes might be triggering when it should not be, but nothing seems obviously messed up under there.

Any ideas? I've Googled around for help without success... if there is a better forum to post this query please let me know!

Thanks in advance!

Kurt

You're probably better off starting a new help thread, but definitely start by checking the switch test because you could have a duff trough switch or connection.

Sounds like vibration induced switches or optos. Put machine in switch mode and test with vibration
