Hey everyone! I picked up an Original run Star Trek Pro last week, love the game so far! Came with asteroids mod, mirror side blades and shaker. I just updated the code to 1.62 so we're all set.

The only thing I want to do to it is add a colorDMD to it, but from researching here and abroad it seems like the LCD doesn't sit flush and you need to either purchase the foam gasket they sell or DIY it from the hardware store. does the LED colorDMD sit flush? I really wanted to go with the LCD but i'm concerned the gap will bother me. Does anyone have a pro and the LCD that they could take some pics of to show how it looks recessed back?

Cheers

Hey mbwalker thanks for the information and the pictures.. it really helps. I really like the LCD with the options it provides for the display, although the colors might be slightly muted over the LED. This will be my first go with a colorDMD... i guess if i went LCD and ultimately wasn't really a fan I could always swap it down the line and keep the LCD for a future machine.

I really do appreciate you offering up some pics though, thanks again!

I've always found there is very little wiggle room for the playfields in the cab. Sideblades of any sort are going to bite into any clearance gap. You just need to be super careful when pulling the PF out so you don't scratch/ding your sideblades.

If you're always banging on the right side when you lift your PF, then you're right arm is too dominate You need to put pressure to teh left while you slide it and lift.. it should remove the tension you're finding and reduce the chance of damage
