Quoted from hawkmoon:

Can someone tell me where to find a "Kelvin" ship mod??

Quoted from Buildn:

My STLE has some damage to the left side back box decal, does anyone know where I would be able to get a replacement decal for the left side?
I would buy the whole cabinet decal set if I had to just to get the back box left side i need.

Quoted from mavantix:

I've been looking since I passed on a set not knowing when I bought my ST Pro. Would love to find a set too!

Quoted from foxtj24:

Have had one in mine for 3 years waiting on the code. It fits just fine with their adapter.

Quoted from investingdad:

What's the difference between LCD and LED and how does one decide which to use?

Quoted from Bruce:

This color dmd video is filming an LCD display in DOTS XL. Looks awesome! I don't like high res either so will likely stick to dots XL.
» YouTube video

Quoted from investingdad:

LCD or LED?

Quoted from jesperpark:

Mine came with a clear shield and the spacers, which are needed for the pro version

Quoted from sethi_i:

Going to order a ColorDMD for my ST Premium. I haven't seen a HIRES video for ST, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of that look. Does anyone have their display set to HIRES? Or if you have an LCD, can you switch it over for a quick game? Short video or stills?
The $38 difference seems negligible if already spending $385. So, is LCD, with its available options, the logical choice given you can still set it to dots? Or does LCD Dot XL not compare to the LED display?

Quoted from Scoot:

What I really mean is I don't have the money to buy 10 of these like I see is some of your game rooms. I could only dream of having some the pins I see in these forums, but I will get one of these. Just trying to predict when the best time would be. But yes, I could be spending money on more important things. Does this make me irresponsible?

Quoted from Ponzie:

Dumb question... but is the Aurich package still available to buy?
I found the order website, I just want to make sure there’s stock before I drop the Pay Pal funds...
Anyone order it recently?
Wanted to round out the colour DMD I recently put on my pro (and love)...
My cabinet sub recently got cooked somehow so I was going to do the Pinball Pro speaker kit for it... worthwhile? I already have it wired to an external sub...
Thanks!

last III mode, you could get robbed out of the second/third wizard mode (Enterprise Amok Multiball would not start,
and, if you made it to Five Year Mission, the game would instead start Enterprise Amok Multiball. After the last
wizard mode you couldn't start any modes for the rest of the game. It could also crash the game while in this state.

Quoted from StylesBitchly:

Pop caps are awesome!
I just can't justify spending this much. Too much on mods and you loose ass on resale. If you don't mind then it's great. I have to watch my budget though. Other pins on my list are going to need mods too.

Man, I wish I could find those for that price. If you know of any, point me to it!

Quoted from pcprogrammer:

I have heard people say that the flipper fidelity speakers don't make much difference? What do you think?

Quoted from DaveH:

Hopefully google doesn’t freak out at this, but, this is the movie soundtrack version with the destruction of the Vengeance music added back in. The first time I destroyed the Vengeance with the regular movie soundtrack I was disappointed. So I added it in.
This is mostly NOT my work. Whoever did the movie soundtrack work did a fantastic job. This is all their work. All I did was tweak one thing I didn’t like. The Pro version is PG-13 because I added some swear words into the tilt and match sequences. The LE version is just the Vengeance change back to the original from Stern.

LE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M2HWDkx1gyTcLqTd0MIdbneQAy6klnus/view?usp=sharing

Added 2 days ago: Whoops. That LE version I posted is the wrong version. New one will be posted within the next day or two.

Quoted from drummermike:

Can you give details on the green ship? I can't find any info on what it is. Thanks.

Quoted from Mathazar:

Do you guys play with the machine set to 3 balls or 5 balls? I've had my NIB ST Pro set to factory settings since I bought it in July 2018. I've been able to complete KM with regularity but I couldn't get to EA. I set the machine to 5 ball last night and completed EA today for the first time (with only 1 extra ball, the one after 3 warps) - what a trip! I've always enjoyed this game but now I've got renewed energy with it by reaching EA. Perhaps 5YM will actually be obtainable at some point for me now...
Am I violating some unwritten rule among pinheads by setting the machine to 5 balls?

Quoted from dts:

Still experimenting with it but right now this looks pretty good. Gotta clean up the mount now...

Quoted from PoMC:

Here's a video I just took showing the mini LCD screen that I mounted over the Beta Quadrant ramp. This mod came with the game, but was not configured and was mounted in another location I didn't prefer.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/VVX8ajHVpMWe4K9E6
I downloaded these two videos from Youtube and converted them for the screen. I prefer the clips slowed down instead of real time since you're never focusing on the screen and slowing it down at least lingers on some cool ships and effects. I wouldn't have bought this on my own, but I think it does look great over the ramp and just adds a little something extra with an LCD screen playing video.

Quoted from PoMC:

New location for the little screen and I like it in this spot. Doesn't block any view and it's close enough to actually see the video if you look at it. Ramp location looked cool, but did block a little pop area view and was too far away to really see the video clearly.

Quoted from PinWoofer:

Hey irishbastard - you can determine your speaker terminal polarities by using a 1.5v battery as pictured. The positive "+" terminal of the battery will drive the cone outward slightly (not shown, but observe it moving away from the basket) when "+" of the battery is truly assigned to the "+" terminal of the speaker. You will need to make a circuit with both battery terminals connected to the speaker. If the cone deflects inward when you make contact on the first try, "+" and "-" are swapped. You will have to trust the schematic insofar as the header to wire color assignments.
Good times.

Quoted from DaveH:

Wow! And no. I get it, everyone and their brother wants to build a streaming service. But I already pay for two streaming services, and no matter how cool the show looks, I’m not buying a third. I lived not buying it for Discovery, and I won’t buy it for this either.

Quoted from Gorgar123:

Yup, or it could be the connector. I was having this problem on my ACDC and it was the connector. I used the dielectric grease fix and it has worked fine ever since.

Quoted from Zitt:

I just finished watching the premier of Star Trek: Picard on CBS All Access. CBS' business ethics aside... this was one of the best times I've had since Voyager went off the air. While I'm not happy with the subscription model of All Access... I am VERY happy to have this new series to fuel my inner Trekkie.
To celebrate this awesome new show; Now thru this weekend - I'm offering a sale on all my Star Trek pinball products.

Quoted from DCRand:

Stern just sent a note to talk to a distributor. Sent email and they can order a set for me, $40.00 ea. Seems a little pricey. Especially if it is a known issue with the games. Might still do it, but will get the game and put it in the line up first. Might just design and print my own for fun. I'm thinking space clowns?

Quoted from DCRand:

Give you $20 for it cause its aged and old now. Lol

Quoted from jetmechinnc:

Welcome to the club! Lots of YouTube on how to maintain your games. Remember to clean your game ever so often with naptha and novus 2 and come back with carnuba wax. I like blitz wax but there is lots to choose from. Change your balls out maybe every 6 months or a year to make sure no pitting develops that can scratch up your playfield and plastic
Ramps. And when you are ready, upgrade your rubbers to something like Titan rubbers that not only have lots of colors to choose from to make your pin unique, but last a long time and have great bounce.
Titan also sells a clear plastic that goes around the flipper buttons that is like thick saran wrap to prevent wear and dirt to develop there.

Quoted from Aurich:

Someone was asking me if I'd ever do a run of my Star Trek translite again, had me looking through some old photos, and I gotta admit, for the first time since I sold it I kinda miss this machine. I dunno, it didn't stick with me and I let it go, but looking at it now I'd go flip it if I still had it.
I think it just needed something to make the modes click a little better for me, there was some missing spark. The rules got polished, the game shoots smooth, the atmosphere is great, but something about playing it still felt a little "shoot the flashing light" to me. Like every mode was a little too similar, just a different color. I honestly don't know how you'd fix that.
Tell you what though, I had a really good time working up that alternate art package. Still proud of the end result. Still probably the most ambitious digital painting I've done to this day in terms of start to finish process. Wouldn't have done it if I hadn't bought the machine, was worth it for that alone.

Honestly I thought they would be crap also ..... so I made a set and they look fantastic

Quoted from Juzz:

Nah none of your assumptions are true bud.
Try learning English & start being a human.
I wouldn't sell you one anyhow. lol

Quoted from Zenomorp:

Playfield swap and restore over the next few days. CPR got a run of the playfields done recently and I was fortunate enough to snag one before they were all gone...THE NEXT DAY! The original playfield had an overlay put on it. It was crinkled, overlapped, and mis-aligned all over the place. Got all the parts and pieces I need to get this up to par again. It was 100% working prior to this, but the playfield overlay was installed so badly, I couldn’t live with it. Stay tuned!

that's what i did for another game, works perfectly if the keychain or similar is the same size.

Quoted from sebgrinke:

Anyone considering this as a topper (lol)?

Quoted from dts:

Do you guys know where to find an upper left (backbox) decal? I managed to scrape it and would like to find a replacement. For STLE...maybe I’ll call Stern to see if they have any left.

Quoted from DaveH:

Ok, this is a big no in my book. I have shakers in quite a few of my games, including Star Trek. But the reason I’m saying no is to the Cointaker Red Tremor. I love Cointaker. I’ve bought games and And a lot of LEDs from them. But I put the Red Tremor into my Iron Man and hated it. It was WAY too strong. It wasn’t engaging, it was distracting as hell. It was just violent. Detuning it wasn’t a great option because the flat spots on the shafts are intended to be at opposite spots. Then trying to move the weights anyway, the metal was soft and just stripped. Since then I just pay the extra and get the Stern one. It’s not a ton of money, and is just the right amount to add to the game. Just my experience and opinion.

Quoted from Fifty:

Just joined the club with a ST PRO. Great condition from a fantastic seller!
Question...
Is it possible to add the USS Enterprise from Marco onto a Pro?

Thanks! Looking forward to contributing here!

Quoted from dts:

Do any of you guys know where I can track down a decal that was scraped on my STLE? Backbox left side, not a big deal but I'd like to get it fixed.

Quoted from Fifty:Is this the one? Seems right. 2009 version. I've been hard pressed to find one under $50!
