I am thinking about resigning my commission and moving on to another pin. If someone has been looking to join the USS Enterprise this May be your opportunity.

Anyone local to Cleveland OH interested in a very nice, recently shopping with full topside tear down STTNG? All optos replaces. A few ship mods. Laser cannons. Pinsound and Flipper Fidelity Speakers.

$5K obo. Cash only, no Latinum. I may consider trade for a nice Whitewater, Creature or a CV.

PM if interested. Photos available.

Ok I want to throw my game in the garbage!!!

I have been battling phantom left cannon issues which seem to have come out of nowhere.

When I got this game a couple years back nothing worked properly due to corroded cpu wiring from battery leakage.

The CPU and connectors were replaced and I had gone so far as to replace the cables and both optos on the cannons at that time.

Everything has been 100% up until tonight.

However during gameplay the left cannon will randomly begin moving and repeatedly fires the solenoid and then occasionally won’t find hone position and triggers a credit dot.

I have tested everything, all positioning switches register in the cannon test. Gun finds home. Optos check out.

I have checked every other switch on the row and column and nothing is shorted or triggering anything on the cannon that I can determine. I have banged on the playfield in switch test and nothing seems to be causing anything related to the left cannon to trigger.

Is it possible after all this time the Pinsound board is causing a 12v issue that may be creating this phantom issue?

I am at my wits end with this. Any help on what I am overlooking would be greatly appreciated.

Well I got it fixed. I hadn’t thought about the optos in the ball popper mechanism and the second one was indeed intermittent. For good measure and because I have about 100 opto transmitters and receivers I replaced all of the ones pertaining to the left cannon while I had it opened.

You forget how heavy that damn playfield is!

Thanks to everyone who chimed in to help.

Hey everyone! I have been a member of the STTNG club for sometime but have decided to move on to something new. My machine plays 100% no credit dot.

If anyone is interested in a nice machine complete with Pinsound, Flipper fidelity speakers, cannon laser mod, tilt graphics blades, Zit’s decals, some upgrades ships and comet LEDs let me know.

I prefer a local sale and am just 15 minutes from Downtown Cleveland.
