Thinking about picking up a nice STNG this weekend. Just wondering if there any obvious things I should be looking for while checking out the game? Seller claims that she works as she should. Any advice is much appreciated

Quoted from Lostcause:If it has a credit dot,check what it is for.
Check drop down target at back works ok and ask if it has had the tie back mod which could cause damage if not done. Not hard to do if not.
Go in settings and remove balls then turn off. Put balls back in and turn on, should load balls in trough and stage 3 balls to vuk’s without issue.
Check cannons work ok in game.
Plus the usual stuff, ramps get cracked and not cheap to replace and GI connectors get burnt including the one under the playfield for the shields as just had to change mine (brown/white & brown wires 3 way connector)
Good luck.
Awesome...thank you....STNG is such a fun pin (and still rated high) I'm curious why they are so reasonably priced compared to other games?
Quoted from Lostcause:Theme I guess, I’m not a fan. But for a totally loaded machine with actors call-outs I just don’t know as it’s a pretty good game.
I hate the back glass so bought a custom one and fitted a XL Color led screen which looks awseome on this pin.
They do go wrong and can confuse people so this might also be the reason but once you understand how it all works it’s not too bad.
You would think people would love the theme? In my experience with these B/W games that improving the sound (i.e. pin sound board) and adding color improves the experience...I did this on my IJ and it was night and day
Quoted from Lostcause:Well I’m in my early 50’s and not into the theme at all, never watched it as I was working too hard when it was out. Tried watching but not my thing.
I had pin sound in my last STTNG and was never really happy with it, just didn’t sound right to me and call outs too quite. I did have it in my IJ and really liked it in that one, same as a few others I’ve had.
I like the sound as is on this one, other people love pinsound on this though.

Looks great...love the XL screen and back glass....so u didn't see a big sound quality improvement with the PinSound board? It was a massive difference on my IJ
Quoted from Lostcause:It was better sound quality but on mine I just couldn’t dial it in to my liking, I’m fussy with sound and wether it was the pinsound speakers or board it just wasn’t crisp enough for me, the sub was ok though. It did annoy me as all the others I had sounded great.
Thanks for the feedback
