Hi everyone, I have just had a full restoration on a STTNG completed with the full story on the thread https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/star-trek-the-next-generation-complete-restoration with pre, during and post images on the thread. The finished images are posted on this forum for all with Star Trek pins. This was a 12 month project from start to finish with a 100% stripdown.

Good spot, I refer to this on my restoration thread, I guess that until you get the decal and it comes back from the cabinet shop you dont know until you see it.

Hi this was an all in cabinet shop job, I think that this will be replaced. I spotted the error when the box was delivered and will seek a new front decal (any recommendations would be cool) Yes keeping the machine and not thought about any mods yet, will sort the front decal first and see how we go.

Hi this is as it was as an original with the continue button in a different location (more central to the coin door lock) compared to your image (image below). From what I can see from other images online there are two positions maybe this is a European 50Hz (central) vs USA 60 Hz (lower down) variant.

So there looks to be a difference in the location of the continue button. I have not seen anyone post on this difference before?

From what I can see decal kits come with holes not cut out and these are done in situ when applied, but if anyone has any feedback on any of this please post.

Hi I am not sure on this, do you have the measurements for the start button hole? The start button is in the same position pre and post restoration this is the attached of both and the point of reference is the bolt fixing which looks to me like the hole is in a similar position, but the decals are different. One thing I have learned is that the "continue" buttons are in differing locations across the batch of STTNG pins. Original on the left and restored on the right.
