FYI, Cliffy Stern ST ramp protectors are in the works.
More elegant than the ones out there now (look better / full replacement, not just slide behind existing ones) , and will include the warp ramp
Hopefully for sale soon

The Freddy Protectors I ordered before I found out Cliffy was going to make some arrived...but apparently they only make 1 delivery attempt for your signature, so now it's at the post office, and I lost the the piece of paper that was left for pickup LOL!

I'll check in with Cliffy and see how things are going. But last I heard he was still waiting for access to a warp ramp so he can design the 3rd ramp protector. I looked at my warp ramp and it looks a little risky for me to remove mine as I am a bit of a kludge

FYI...I got the current set of cliffys and the ring that goes around the playfiled / Vengance magnet is carbon fiber!

I found it under my pillow...pinball fairy?

I'm wondering if we should have Star Trek clubs for each versions made over time.
It's getting to be a lot to wade through just for the the one (s) you might own

is that Darth Maul's albino sister in the new ST movie?

I got the pinbits saucer kit that came i think with some nacelle plastics for the enterprise
Where can i get nacelle plastic enhancements for the vengance?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info Zitt!

Got a couple mods from Zitt

Great stuff and great shpping costs and prices

Highly recommended for mods

before or after his game?

right...

2 things...

1. Where is the laser test in the menus?

2. My ST has very low plays. My left flipper recently gets stuck in the up position sometimes. I've checked the end of stroke switch. It "seems" to react sometimes to a ball being kicked out or power being turned off. But is rather random. The last time was in multiball. When it got stuck I powered off so I could look under the playfield... but when I did so the flipper dropped.

Thanks! BobC

BTW, has anybody managed to put the Stern Star Trek Popcaps by Zitt on a STTNG?

The flipper did not stay stuck when the power went off.

The sucky thing is my SS is doing the same thing. I just ordered a rebuild kit for SS. Maybe I need something for ST...the post office is going to get rich off me this month will all my piece meal orders
: (

My guess is the popcaps will fit STTNG, but won't all be upright? I thought I saw somebody had done that once?

coil test, laser motor....that's how you test the laser light. Go figure

thanks guys

Thanks Zitt. Sorry to hear about your troubles.
My techie friend is hopefully going to be over tomorrow to double check my ST flipper issue (as I did not find anything, although I did not check the coil stop yet)

Now on to installing the Zitt laser kit!

I used some sort of spray from Pinrestore in my RFM that's used to get smoke out

Molecular deodorizer I think it was called

Anti rattle tape is as more elegant solution. I'd be afraid electrical tape or duct tape would eventually leave as gooey or dried glue residue

did a factory reset on my ST. now I seem to get airballs off the slings sometimes...what's a good solenoid power setting?

weapons lights try reseating all the connectors. just fixed mine that way

Ok...my ST Premium is going on location, I'm going through my box-o-stuff and I find a knocker kit...but no instructions

Anybody got some install info?

Thanks!

BobC

Yeah...I searched my email and I must have gotten info from this url but it's no good anymore http://www.home.earthlink.net/~pinball_stuff/knocker.htm : (

Thanks! The Earthlink link has no pictures for some reason FYI but red shift does; although I think my kit only has the step up board and not the other 2 (which I think are just for tapping 50 volts?).

Thank you for the info. You always come through on Star trek pins Mr. Zitt, you are the best-est!

I'm sure I know what to do now!

BobC

Has anybody repaired these wires?

Any advise on how to do it and make sure it doesn't happen again?

Thanks!

My friend said he wasn’t able to get the ship apart.
Apparently some of the screws/bolts won’t budge.
We got the light working, but I think down the road we will have to do it again.
Any advice on insanely stuck screws and bolts?

Thanks!
