Thx for doing this!

Looks fantastic. Is it possible to separate all four screen videos into different files? For example if I just wanted 90 mins of plasma vid.

It would have been awesome to have them individually, but I get that it's a long process and the space constraints. Thanks for sharing!

With your pinside name, how did you ever leave?

Hi!
Just picked up a STTNG. Can someone pls send me a pic of their upper right flipper?

I cannot hit the delta quadrant ramp for the life of me. I wait until the very last moment to flip and it only goes to the 'advance in rank' hole.

I may need to make an adjustment or perhaps just play better.

Thanks!

Flipper was recently rebuilt and the bat is Williams.

It has to be the angle. I can't be that bad of a player.

I am going to mess with the angle tomorrow.

Quick Tech Question:

I got an error message for switch 57. I went into switch test and tried to manually activate it. It clicked just fine, and the wires seemed good, but it would not register.

Is there anything else I should check before I just replace the switch?

Thanks!

Wires are still attached.

Sorry but I have never had to test a switch before with a multimeter. I tried googling it, but I could not find a good match. Can you please provide some guidance? Thank you.

Thank you for the instructions!!!

When I put the leads across C and NO is reads "0" and when I depress the switch it reads 1.5.

So is that a bad switch?

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond.

I went out of town shortly after my last message.

OK so when I touch the two leads together, I get a tone and my MM shows 0000. When I put a lead on NO and a lead on C and depress the switch I get a reading of 1.7.

I did order a new switch and when I do the same test on it, (leads on NO and C) it gives me the same reading as if I were just touching the two leads together, 0000

Based upon that, I think I need to change out my switch. Right?

Finally had the time to look at this again. I changed out the switch and the diode and everything works great now.

Thanks!

Quick question:

For those that have changed out the glass and trim for your translite, are there any tips for doing so?

I bought an alt translite for STTNG and thought might as well get all new glass and trim for it.

I got the new glass and trim today from Marcos. And the trim is extremely loose on the translite to where it won't hold. I know some people use tape to help hold it still, but I wouldn't think I would need to do that. I have changed out translites before and normally it's a piece of cake. But I can't get my STTNG to hold firm.

The parts I ordered are (I have the botttom trim):
Trim side channel - 17 inch glass edge 03-8228-3
Trim side channel - 27 inch translite top 03-8228-2
Glass Backglass clear 27 x 18-7/8 x 1/8 inches 08-7456

Did I order the wrong items?

Thanks!

I just swapped out switch 57 two days ago. Don't forget the diode. Diode - 1000V 1A DO-41

It was a bugger for me to change because of the location. Good luck!

Do you care to share?

Mirror blades for the win! (In person, upper playfield is not as purple as it looks. )

Thanks! It's a HEP restoration. He picked it. I have no idea where Chris got it from. Sorry.

Just lift up the playfield (holding on to both ends) and scoot it over a bit. It's heavy, but doable.

What do you mean it won't stay that way? You mean after you move it over, it moves itself back off center?

Just times just having one isn't enough.

Can anyone burn me a rom?

More than happy to pay for it. Pls DM me.

Thx!

Hello Starfleet!

I am in need of some advice.

I was playing one of the best games of my life (of course that is when all the bad things happen). I started Borg Multiball and notice that was a really nice smoky ambiance around my Borg ship. After first, I was like cool! Then I was like OH CRAP!

Turn the pin off immediately and raise the playfield. I found this coil super heated. This is for the subway diverter. Pic included.

Any idea what would cause this to overheat? I am going to order a new coil, coil stop and sleeve.

Thanks for any feedback!

I was just looking at my boards and I noticed that FUSE 103 was out. I flipped open the manual and I don't understand the connection between fuse 103 and the coil. Maybe the 2 are unrelated.

I found an old thread with a similar super heated coil in the subway diverter and it mentioned possibly needing to change out the following.
Pre - 2N4403
Driver - TIP102
Top Divertor Q8 & Q16
Bottom Divertor Q7 & Q15

All of that is beyond my ability, but I have no problem sending it out for repair. I am assuming all of that is on my A-15472 board. Just looking for any additional things I can check before removing it.

Thanks!

I know there are a couple of ways to do it, but I have never researched it before. The seller told me it had it done already when I bought it.

So after doing some reading, I know it has to do with my J4 and my J107. Please take a look at my pics. Is this enough to tell if I have the tie back mod?

Ok. A little more sleuthing and learning....

I do have the tie back mod installed however it is installed at the blue circle arrow rather than at the red arrows. Does this count?

Thanks!

Looks like I have a ton of options. Thanks everyone for your feedback.

Would you still recommend this if they added the new wire correctly?

Looks really good, but does this belong in the STTNG thread? lol

Yes. Many packages have a sample file you can listen to.

100%.

This just happened to me a few posts ago.

Where can I buy new STTNG speaker grills? The only place I have been able to find any is from Modfather, but they are not quite the original design.- Thx!

Yes.
