Never hurts to ask. Anyone close to Louisville KY (within 300 miles) want to sell me their ST Pro.

Quoted from sethi_i:What are you doing in my basement!! Oh wait, they're in the wrong order. Three great games.
I've been wanting this one for awhile. Got some side blades, and new rubber coming.
I have some side blades coming, and I'm a bit worried my cabinet and playfield are really tight on the inside. The left ramp touches the side. Is there a way to adjust the playfield in the cabinet to give a little more room?
Quoted from pinheadpierre:I wouldn’t be worried about chipping. The ghosting is from sight separation of the clear from the insert. The surface looks to be intact and smooth still. Continued movement of the insert would expand the ghosting. If it progresses, you might consider trying to stabilize the inserts from behind with carefully applied epoxy around the edge where the inserts meet the playfield cutout. I’ve had success fixing ghosting by CAREFULLY drilling through the ghosted area by twisting a jewelers bit backwards into the area with my fingers until I just barely feel the bit hit the insert. Then inject 2pac into the void with a tiny syringe until it has filled the affected area. At this stage, I would just leave it alone. Avoid large temperature and humidity swings as those conditions tend to exacerbate ghosting.
Sounds good thank you. My basement stay pretty much 68 year around. I'll definitely keep an eye on them. Hopefully they don't get any worse
Just did a full rubber replacement, and wax. Only have one plastic i forgot to put back on before the left two ramps. I have the Aurich alt package coming and a shooter lane protector. I still need to put the side blades on, but I'm saving those for when I dont have to lift the playfield anymore for awhile. I'm worried since the damn playfield is so close to the cabinet on each side. Oh and I got to the Kobayashi maru multi ball and BAM FN TILT JUST BEFORE IT STARTED.

Quoted from cuebert: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
Do you have any clearance issues with the mirror blades and the playfield? I have side blades and the playfield is super close to the cab. The left ramp support post actually touches the playfield. Is there a way to adjust the playfield in the cabinet?
Quoted from Pahuffman:For lifting/lowering the playfield:

Question for anyone who has ghosting inserts. How long have you had the machine, and have they gotten worse overtime? I have a few on my original run Pro, and would like to know if overtime I need to worry about them getting worse.

Anyone else have inserts with ghosting that has had it for awhile? I don't think these have gotten worse since I have had the machine. Playfield still feels smooth around them.

Im the third owner and its HOU so I was told. Machine is in great shape besides some of the inserts, I have had the machine since Nov of 2020. I didn't notice them when I bought it. I'm assuming there is nothing that can be done other than hoping they don't get worse. It's in my basement that never really gets above 68. Just wondering if any other ST owners have this issue, and if theirs got worse overtime, or just stayed static.
