I'm new to the ST club... just took delivery of a pristine ST premium. Very excited. Sorry if this has already been posted (but there are 100 pages on this thread... it will take me some time to get through them all). Three isses:

1)Sound: Can't seem to get the sound right (callouts seem muted and poor quality). Any recs on sound settings? (I do have a polk sub already hooked up)

2) Warp ramp. Prior owner had the thing jacked up past 7 deg. Warp ramp is really tough on the secondary shots (ball bounces and virtually impossible to hit the repeat shots). What's the preferred playfield angle or other tweaks for the warp ramp. I'm sure I'll have more questions as I dive into the game a bit more.

3) At times, Vengeance drop target seems to fail to register a lot with direct shots. Is it programming (not registering hits at times) or do I need to adjust the target? My suspicion is that the target needs to be adjusted.

Thanks mt45, i tried those settings and it's much better now

I know a lot of purists poo-poo aftermarket toppers, but I happen to like toppers (the wilder the better). Any links or info on options?

Second call for leads to topper options

Thanks for the lead. I also found this one at cointaker (from laserific). I think I might like this one better. However, one would think that with all the mods available for st, that there would be some more interesting options (e.g. lighted ship replicas).

Picked up the Pinball Refinery pinblades and LED lighting kit at Pinfest and finally got around the installing them. Somewhat of a challenge to install the upper left standoff, but otherwise pretty simple project (maybe 30 minutes). I removed mirror blades for these and definitely like the effect. The LEDs only shine during Klingon multiball. It's very cool.

Here's some shots that should help anyone doing the install.

Sure, please post or pm me. Thanks. It is a bit bright of the room lights are off. Also does somewhat wash out the stock lasers. Thinking I need to upgrade to the bright laser mid
