I love seeing the four together like that!

When I was playing last night, I saw a broken piece of plastic land in the left orbit , this fragment came from plastic -54 or full P/N 830-6929-54

Does anyone know where I can buy this individual plastic, or have one sitting around that they wouldn't mind parting with?

I REALLY don't want to buy a full plastic set for this one piece.

And an LE at that, very nice!

If they even exist, I believe you can ONLY get one from your distributor, and only if you are a registered LE owner, and you may still need pics of the broken one. I tried to get one when I purchased my NIB LE ... no dice.

I agree, Stern really knocked it out of the park with this one. IMO this is the ONLY LE Stern produced that was actually worth the additional cost over the Premium Edition.

First...I'm not going to be a pessimist and am only providing information here.

Even if the playfield was complete and operational, this would take considerable cash and effort. There isn't enough pictures for me to tell what all is missing, but from the limited image below the playfield, at a minimum you are missing:

1) The entire solenoid harness and all coils...this coils are obtainable (21 coils) but the harness is a machine specific part that you will have to build. (no estimated cost)
2) the entire left cannon assembly.
3) the eddy sensor boards and sensors
4) the motor interface boards

A new cabinet with all the artwork can be purchased for $2100 ( this does not include the speaker panel, speakers, powerbox, buttons, flipper mechs, coin door interface board, coindoor, backglass, lockdown bar, or any other hardware)
A new set of boards for the backbox is going to run you around $1000
The new STTNG translite is no longer obtainable but you might find a used one for $100
A new transformer ... good luck. estimate $350 if you can find one.

You are likely over $5000 just to replace missing parts on a machine that can be found in working condition for $3500-$4500.

Not yet, but I need to...Removing the ship looked like a difficult task so I kicked that can down the road.

I also went with the Borg Backboard, that I purchased from https://www.pinballdecals.com/PartsByGamePages/STTNG_Page.html

Remember, as with any decal the better you prep the surface the better the end result will be.

Prep ... silky smooth;

It is factory installed ...

This is a great product but wouldn't it be better if products were engineered to perform as intended to start with? Somewhere along the line Cost became the #1 engineering priority when it is supposed to be function.

Don't make me shake my cane and tell you to get off my lawn!

Can also consider putting a UV/Glare film on your windows/doors to keep the harmful rays out.

Your distributor should be able to get these once Stern begins shipping parts again.

Same thing happened on my MET and Chaz sent me new ones after send him pics of the peeling decals; however, I'm the original owner and the machine was under warranty at the time, but it never hurts to ask since there was know issues with this at the time this machine was built. Worst case scenario, get with your local distributor just as DaveH recommended as they will usually be your most cost effective provider.

Supply and Demand

After playing on my LE, I honestly cant stand the pro for the above mentioned items. The PREMIUM and LE both have full RGB lighting for every insert on the playfield, this alone makes these games look like completely different machines.
