Hello group,

Happy to own one of these beauties. I recently acquired the game and had a lot of cleaning to do, but it's coming along great. The game didn't see a lot of use over the last few years, but surprisingly it seems to mostly be working (backbox lights are out). Any tips to make this game play fast and smooth? Which flipper coils do you guys recommend? Playing pitch? Any other tips appreciated.

Thanks all,

It sounds like there's plenty to keep me busy. I understand they are different games, but STTNG doesn't seem as snappy as my IJTPA or TZ. That being said I'll probably start at new sleeves for the flipper coils (or full rebuild). The game already has full LEDs. The previous owner did a nice job on the color selection. I'll read through the threads and see what the LX-8 is about! Happy flipping!

Well guys,

I went ahead and rebuilt my right flipper and changed the coil as well. I switched it for the stronger coil that was supposed to be in the prototype STTNG. All said and done I can see and feel a difference, but the right flipper is still a tad bit weaker than the left. I thought I read somewhere in the thread that this could be a software issue. Regardless, the game is playing nicely. New balls, waxed playfield, 6.8 pitch, rebuilt cannon VUK's and new flipper rubbers has me coming back for "one more game". Oh, I also did the tie back mod. Up next is some trough and rear playfield lighting!

Indy would have something to say about that!

Can the fellow who posted about the halo flippers on his game post a few pics here. I followed the link to the write up but couldn’t seem to find that section.
