I purchased a DE Star Trek a couple of weeks ago. It was dingy and neglected, buy not abused. I fixed a number of burned connectors (GI!), replaced locked transistors in the lamp matrix and scrubbed it up. I also removed the 27 ohm cement resistors in the lamp matrix on the MPU and swapped the TIP42s for MOSFETs (Very simple. Pinwiki shows how).

I just completed a shop-out that included LEDs and flame-polishing of the ramps. It turned out better than I would have expected. Next will be installation of coax speakers in the head and an 8 inch sub in the cabinet. I have done sound upgrades to several DEs with stereo sound. It is simple, cheap and the results are outstanding. Here's a link to my BF sound upgrade:

The playfield is all-but perfect and the cabinet is excellent with a little wear (thin paint) on the front corners and a nick or two on the back box. I flame-polished all of the plastic, which is very good except for the girl on the left slingshot that was cracked and glued by the prior owner. The coin door needs to be refinished to complete the cosmetics. The transporter and the chase lights even work as they should!

It must have been in a very smokey bar at one time as it still has a faint smell of smoke, even after I have been over the entire cabinet, playfield and inside the backbox with Simple Green. The fan that was mounted in the backbox (apparently it is stock), was covered in cigarette tar and dirt. It has been removed and tossed.

No, but I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Does anyone have apron cards with Star Trek 25th artwork they would be willing to share?

None?

Thanks!
