STTNG: Restoration-- COMPLETE. Photos inside.
MameMaster!:
This was a "must have" machine for me- so I thought I'd go for it. ;D
MameMaster!:
Well this restoration is almost at a close.
I've literally replaced all ramps, all plastics, essentially everything on the surface of the machine is brand new (or in the case of the metal- polished).
Yesterday I finally rebuilt all three flippers putting in the prototype stronger coils- man does that make this game play much faster! I really recommend them. I picked up a set at Pinballife.com.
I am replacing the entire top divertor mech/coil. It seems locked up and I would rather have a new one, and mechanically that's the last major part I'm replacing.
I'm waiting on backalley for my custom painted borg ship and shuttle- and I still have a couple of those modded lit ships to add.
More photos soon!

I have been trying to do the same thing for Who Dunnit. I'm having a ridiculously difficult time finding the parts. No ramps out there. Took me two years to find the slot reels I was missing and the ones I found were beaten up. :-\
MameMaster!:
I thought the ramps would be harder to replace then they thankfully turned out to be.
I've never stripped a playfield so thoroughly before.
I found it easier to work from the bottom and I went counter clockwise on the one as the biggest "layers" of ramps is the upper right.

I went through this process on my White Water a couple years ago. It's a lot of fun to get all of that gunk out. It's surprising how much black dust appears everywhere.
Where does that all come from anyways? What component?
