All pins in one room, still some space to fill.
In total 10-12 pins no problem, without the bar and frige up to 18.
But it is more a 'man's cave', watch sports, drink beer and play the pins.
P.S.: T2 is out of order at the moment, Power board is totally ruined, bought it from Portugal from a dsitibutor and they meesed with the fuses.

Great space you have there, yes you have room for more but it's tough to say enough, it's always "just one more". 
Quoted from Aurich:Ugh, Germany is the worst, your customs seems to sit on things forever. I feel like you guys are always the last to get my packages, sorry about that.
Your games look really nice with all the space around them, everyone I know (myself included!) has them super close to each other to be able to fit more.
The new print order is officially in by the way, so my waitlist people just hold tight for a little longer.
I think it is more the German Grundlichkeit we are known for (of course also Ocotber Fest und Sauerkraut 
I have a pro model. Any tips on applying speaker panel decal? Does it go over the decal that is already on there? Thanks 
Quoted from pinnyheadhead:I have a pro model. Any tips on applying speaker panel decal? Does it go over the decal that is already on there? Thanks
Yup over the existing one. To apply there's no need to take the panel off the game, take tl off, position sticker on panel checking for fit top to bottom side to side then using painters tape tape the sticker to the top length of the panel, that will hold it in position. Next lift sticker and peal backing down about an inch or two along the entire length of the sticker and lightly stick it down, continue doing it that way till your done. If your satisfied with the position of the sticker, it should be perfect, press down firmly and then remove painters tape. Sounds complicated but it's real easy. Just keep your eye on it and press it down lightly as you go so it's easy to reposition it if needed.

I took the old speaker panel decal off first. Comes off really easy, I think this is the "right" way to do it.
Mine fit over the stock one perfectly and I'm never going to take the new one off so I just left the stock one on. Doing it that way I don't have the stock one lying around doing nothing.
You can of course do it any way you like! I sized it to be as close to the stock as possible.
Personally what I recommend is removing the stock decal, it comes off clean and easy. Set it aside, sticky side facing up. Apply the new decal (I just eyeballed it, no tape, and it was pretty easy to line up) and then use the backing from the new decal to store the old one.
Then if you ever want to return it to stock you can (though really I can't imagine going back to that drab decal again).
Over bare metal will give you the cleanest look, and make any repositioning the easiest.
Quoted from Aurich:I sized it to be as close to the stock as possible.
It's sized so perfectly that I can't tell there's another one under the new one. It's a perfect fit. Great job Aurich
Quoted from MustangPaul:It's sized so perfectly that I can't tell there's another one under the new one. It's a perfect fit. Great job Aurich
Excellent, I really tried to get it exact, but I didn't try overlaying it like you did, so good to hear that it's dead on.
Quoted from MustangPaul:It's sized so perfectly that I can't tell there's another one under the new one. It's a perfect fit. Great job Aurich
Same here. Just put it right over the old one. I didn't won't to remove the old one and it leave behind artifacts I would have to deal with and not have a smooth surface to apply it to.
Quoted from KingNine:Same here. Just put it right over the old one. I didn't won't to remove the old one and it leave behind artifacts I would have to deal with and not have a smooth surface to apply it to.
Hey, if it works for you guys it's all good with me! I will say though that the old one comes off easy and clean.
Quoted from ZenTron:If you could make side cabinet and side head unit decals that could be laid on the stock but also removed without damage that would be sweet.
Side decals generally need to have the cab stripped, though maybe they could go over a new one okay. I dunno, they're big, expensive, a lot of work to install, it's never seemed like a very practical thing to do. Be a lot of work to design since they're so large, and then I'd be worried that no one would really want them after all that.
Plus most people's games are in between others, and you hardly even see the sides!
Quoted from dug:I took the old speaker panel decal off first. Comes off really easy, I think this is the "right" way to do it.
Was there any sticker residue left after you removed the old decal?
Quoted from pinnyheadhead:Was there any sticker residue left after you removed the old decal?
I really does come up clean. The Stern decal doesn't leave white paper bits behind or anything. Same with the other decals. I removed everything and stored them on the paper from the new decals. I doubt I'll ever want to return it to stock, but I could if I wanted to.
Try peeling up a corner of your speaker decal, you can always smooth it back down. You'll see how it comes up. Heck, my stock one had a bubble in it from the factory, it was easy to move it around, that's how I knew it would be easy to peel up.
Quoted from pinnyheadhead:Was there any sticker residue left after you removed the old decal?
Like Aurich said, it comes off clean with no residue left. I found the perfect place to store the original one... the trash!
Quoted from dug:I found the perfect place to store the original one... the trash!
I'll be honest, there's no way in hell I'm putting my stock one back on. I guess I'm keeping it as a reference just in case. I'm really glad Stern decided to do full color decals now (Metallica Pro LED, Iron Man VE, TWD) because it's so much better.
Quoted from SunKing:Yeah, mine was bent was well. (see pics)...but it went on fine.
I guess I should take mine out of the box and see how bad it is.

Also any tips removing the stock decals off the apron or did you just put Aurich's decals over the originals? My stock ones are stuck on really good.
Speaker decal went on smooth. Thanks!

The stock decals are pretty thick and tough, they can take a lot. You just need to work your fingernail under a corner and then they'll come up clean in one piece.

I was doing the fingernail thing and was hoping there was a better way. Oh well. Thanks again.
Quoted from pinnyheadhead:I was doing the fingernail thing and was hoping there was a better way. Oh well. Thanks again.
Well if you're looking for a more "advanced" technique I'd try dental floss. Wrap on your fingers like normal, and work it under the corner with a back and forth sawing motion. Then once it's started just peel it up manually.
Quoted from Darkwing:The kit looks awesome man, signed up on the pre-order and totally hope you're still making them
Printer is working them now.
Looks like I only have 1 extra left for this run if everyone who signed up orders it, but we'll see how that goes.
Quoted from gjbwalker:I hope my pre-order got in!!!! Can't wait.
Yup, see you on the list, you should be fine.
Hi, just took delivery of my Star Trek Premium last week in the UK - upgraded to 1.5 firmware and ready for modding! - your decals and translite look really great - I have pre-ordered via your order page - hope I'm not too late to get on the second batch pre-order!
Small problem with the physics here. Asteroids don't glow in space, they must first enter the atmosphere.
Quoted from StylesBitchly:Small problem with the physics here. Asteroids don't glow in space, they must first enter the atmosphere.
I think the ship has force fields active creating a mini atmosphere, and that must be what is causing them go glow.

Just waiting to hear from my printer. Hopefully next week.

Yeah yeah, I think I already covered this in the thread somewhere, but it's total artistic license.

That's the ticket!
OK cool thanks for the reply. Played the table a bit now and think the laser effect is good - so glad I went for the premium!

Excellent, can't wait. Had my Premium now for a few weeks and getting increasingly frustrated that it isn't getting the game play it deserves. My 1st ever pinball though and what time I have spent on it has been magical!....less work, more play
Just talked to my printer, should be shipping to me this week. Once I have confirmation that they're on their way I'll send out emails for the orders.
Quoted from JesterPinHead:Woooo Hooooo. Come on Santa Thanks Aurich!
Pretty sure I can get it to you before Christmas, so I'll play skinny Santa.
Quoted from kwiKimart:Impressive work, Aurich!!
Welcome back to Pinside Kwi. Been awhile.
Quoted from kwiKimart:Impressive work, Aurich!!
Thanks man, nice to see you around again. See what you've been missing?!
I really wish I had a Stern Star Trek... This translite kit you designed for that game is incredible! I'm just not sure if I will ever get that game since I have a STTNG that I absolutely love!!!
When I bought the HELEN kit from you I didn't have that game either, but in that case I knew I would end up with one eventually...
Keep up the awesome work!

Rob,
You can come and play mine...

Putting this message in my Shadow, Helen, and Star Trek threads as a general update:
I just got in new prints yesterday for all three projects. I owe people emails with the ordering info, I have everyone on my lists. I'm just fighting a cold and really tired and spacey, and I need to get some rest or something before I have the mental energy to make sure I don't screw it all up. 
So I apologize for the delay, once I'm together I'll contact everyone and start shipping orders as they come in. You'll start hearing from me over the next few days.
Yeah, health first so take your time. My wife will be thrilled to get this. She's the one that made me order them as I originally passed. She's such a good wife

Great design work on the whole package - my premium is about to become a premium-le

Thanks for all your hard work.
