Quoted from Zitt:This it why ill never do business with mirco.
I’d rather drill a simple hole, then have a beat Sttng with a worn playfield.
Sure it should have been caught in production. At least he is giving playfield options where next to none existed before.
Quoted from Eric_Manuel:LIGHTED STAR POSTS mods

How about a picture from the players view looking down on pf. They look really good!
Quoted from Zitt:I'd be embarrassed to have that VUK decal set on my game with that Insignia mirrored and incorrect vs the Text.
Yes; I'm biased - but that really is horrid.
As long as you are happy with it...
Who cares if you’d be embarrassed? You have a horrible way of expressing yourself.
Cleaned up my Sttng with some added lights and made a customs plastic too.
The Delta ramp entrance was GI lit from the factory but not Alpha or Beta. Added a bulb under the Beta ramp and a 4 led strip under the Alpha ramp.
While I was doing the Alpha ramp, decided to replace the clear plastic (which didn’t come in my replacement set) with a plastic that matched the rest of the plastics. Took a used broken plastic, traced out the clear one and now I have a nice space plastic.
Also replaced the drop target with a translucent one from Zitterkopf and put a purple led to light it up. Can’t see it from the player perspective but it still looks nice.
Some light strips along the back board too. I really need to get a decal for the black backboard.

Appreciate the business; just trying to figure out why the Pop Caps aren't as popular as the old Stern Version. My guess is people just don't mod older machines as often and didn't know they existed.
I love the look of pop bumper rings. I think they look awesome. I put them on every game I own.
I have seen the molded caps, I have seen the stickers with emblems cut out to let light shine through. Just think a light ring is better looking. Just personal preference.
I wish the drop target was visible by the player, because I think the light up drops are quite nice.
Quoted from Zitt:There really isn't such a thing... If the board is working; it's fine. I wouldn't replace a known good original board for a repo; no matter the cost.
As others have stated; your problems are either voltage related, mechanical, or bad soldering. Optos wouldn't cause a weak flipper; Optos are either on - or off.
Is your game jumpered properly for the voltage at your wall?
Dirty opto can indeed cause a weak flipper.
Q-tip the U shaped opto with some cleaner and it may improve your flipper action.
Quoted from Eric_Manuel:Mick's Pinball has developed a NEW MOD for the Star Trek Next Generation pinball. Animated Dome Flashers
Coming soon!
Quite nice! Much better than static flashers.
Quoted from slochar:Hoping to see minor version numbers on that one.... The fixes to lx7 should have been lx70x with the trailing x being interim versions. That way lx8 would be the major gameplay updates.... No biggie that's just the way I do it. Call it Linux updates vs windows updates
I don’t think anyone on this entire thread cares at all how you would have done it.
Go ahead and make your own improvements to the roms and label it any damn way you want.
Quoted from transprtr4u:I'm curious as to where you got your new panel ... ?
CPR makes a new style replacement as well.
Quoted from Zitt:Wow. That's disappointing. So; cannon covers are going to become unobtanium then. Unless someone has the original mold.
Really sorry to hear that. I have a set on my game and love them.

Laser Cannon covers.
Quoted from Zitt:Ok. fair enough.
That said; give me injection molded parts to 3d printed any day of the week.
Might look good with SLS or some other high end printer; but, wouldn't want FDM garbage on my machine.
Just resin print them. The quality of resins prints is fantastic.
