I just joined the club yesterday. I purchased it from a local operator. The head and cabinet have damage as you'd expect from something that has been routed. The play field has a little damage in front of the drop target, but I think a Cliffy would cover that up. Other than that, the play field is in great shape.

The machine is really dirty. I played a few games on it and then started ripping it apart last night. I have parts to rebuild both flippers, all 3 pops and both slingshots. There are a few broken plastics, so I'm on the fence about buying a new set.

Anyone ever remove the ship? Is it a pain in the ass? I've never stripped a machine down to the play field and am considering doing this one. The two things that scare me are the ship and the warp ramp. I have no clue how you'd get that thing out of there.

I actually stumbled across that earlier, but it looks like that's for the LE and not the pro. I'm not sure how much difference there is between the two though.

I was hoping a few screws and I could just putt the entire thing out.

I just figured I’d rip the entire thing apart. I’ve never torn down a topside like this before and I have to say that it wasn’t too bad.

My problem is that I have parts all over the place and I’m not so sure I’ve labeled things with as much detail as I should.

We’ll see once my bulbs get here and I start putting it back together.

I’ve been taking a lot of pictures and trying to label things and keep them together. But I’m sure I probably missed something.

That is hilarious!!

All finished. She plays 1000% better than it did when I got her. Rebuild flippers, new pops, rubbers, LEDs, new spotlights and a new magnet. Everything was scrubbed and waxed. It’s like a new game.

If I didn’t tell you that it had almost 12,000 plays on it, you’d never know.

Thanks! It actually wasn't as bad as I thought. I'm not sure on the differences between the Pro and the Premium though.

Is that the Stern lit frame?

Based on a picture I have from my tear down, it is definitely broken. It's also stuck in the forward position, so the coil might be smoked. If it locked on, it would melt the coil sleeve and bind the plunger.

These are the only two decent pictures I have of the assembly from my tear down.

Sorry for the late response. Unfortunately I can’t say. I was tearing down the entire topside and wasn’t specifically going after the mech.

I finished that a few months ago. I just kept the pictures in case I needed them for some reason.
