Mine gets held up there too every now and then. I have not gotten around to disassembling the ramps but I would think something like adding a post or just making the rubber a little uneven would do the trick.

Sweet thanks, favorited

This has helped on mine, thanks.

I am looking for the decals for the cabinet head for my ST Pro. I just need the Kirk side (left) but if someone has both in an alternate or something. Let me know what is out there. Thanks.

STERN STAR TREK PRO ColorDMD LCD INSTALL WITH SPEAKER PANEL LIGHTS

Tonight I finished up my ColorDMD LCD panel install on my ST Pro. First off, Doug and the ColorDMD folks provide a top notch product and even greater service. The Stern metal speaker panels pose some challenges for the LCD install because the larger LCD panel has very little to mount on as well as the gap between the shield and how the larger panel must mount. Also, speaker panel lights cause an extra challenge due to light bleed. Wooden panels, like I have on my LOTR are much simpler even though I used a little extra strips of weather stripping on my LOTR. Not as easy for the ST...that required some thought. I did search but only found minimal info, possibly my search skills leave something to be desired. However, figuring out how to do a mod properly is part of the fun of this hobby for me.

I bought a pack of weatherstripping for about $3, pic below. Then with my ColorDMD order I took the default shield and stand off kit that was included. Prior to my order, I did also email ColorDMD to double check I was buying all I needed and Doug responded quickly. I took the original DMD out and the red shield off. Then I put the clear shield on. Then I used 2 washers for each corner screw and then mounted the double female posts all around. The washers help give some threads for the other screw post to screw into.

I then cut weather stripping for the sides next to the lighted speakers first, then I put another piece to act as a side border inside the shield, then repeated on the other side. Then I put a piece lengthwise on the bottom part of the inside of the speaker panel. Then I cut a notch in the middle of the next piece of weatherstrip for the spare screw and that made a nice bottom border. The top part of the panel above the shield was a little more of a challenge, I ran a piece lengthwise and adhered that to the back side of the panel, this gave me a mounting spot for the next piece of weatherstrip on the top, I cut the same kind of notch for the spare screw on the top as well. Another pic below.

Now I was ready to mount the DMD panel but the post screws were a little too long to get the panel snug and I was out of washers. So I used the original DMD bolts to act as a spacer/big washer, which provided the correct spacing to secure the panel tight. Close up pic and backside of mounted panel pic below. As a note, I grounded the panel with the ground from the speaker. I added the green frog tape to the top side of the weatherstrip to cover the adhesive and help avoid me sticking my finger in the adhesive when I go to remove the panel in the future. Then I did the USB update reinstalled the panel and happy to see no light bleed, looks great. I posted this in hopes that this might help someone in the future. I am sure there are other methods available that may yield better results, however, I am pleased with how it worked out.

Thanks gun. As an update, this AM the top weatherstrip fell down on the one side. So I put another piece of weatherstrip above it facing the rear of the speaker panel on top of the other piece. I was concerned prior about this and overall thickness. The two facing the rear are just a little thicker and no big deal. Here is an updated pic. I do not expect the weatherstrip to fall back down, if so I will need some tape on top for additional support. Then I added another piece above that on the top because I had leftover weatherstrip. This used up almost the whole roll of weatherstrip.

Sorry, no videos and my machine is not currently at my disposal. I have installed the LCD on my ST Pro and like it for the ST because of the futuristic look. I do have a ColorDMD LED on my LOTR and like that as well. The LED is bright and a perfect fit. Videos would help, however, I would encourage you to go out in the wild and find both flavors.

I put Titans on my ST and then went back to super bands. After trying both, I prefer the super bands. Especially the orange post rubbers.

My personal opinion is the Titans were softer and more prone to wear. I have both Titans and Super Bands on my machines, both are good, I just prefer the Super Bands more. Also, I really like the super band crystal clear rubbers on clear posts, got a bunch on my LOTR. Titan makes a translucent clear but not a crystal clear.

I have a few perfect play rubbers and since they are silicone definitely more like Titans. Super bands are polyurethane & more expensive and I like them better. Try some of each on your slings and/or flippers and see how you like the play.

Or pull the contacts back and wrap some teflon tape.
