Title: 2 new pins.. What are they worth??
Post by: usedelectronics on November 03, 2006, 02:45:12 am: Picked up 2 new pins recently.
#1 Star trek TNG.
DMD is dim when cold, but brightens up when warm.
No broken ramps, clean playfield, clean "toys". Clean cabinet.
Works great!

#2 Star wars Trilogy Limeted Edition.
Very clean overall. Has a few "issues"
Needs a couple solenoids replaced and the x-wing gun repaired.
Otherwise 8/10 easily.

Any idea on what these may get when shopped/repaired?

STTNG is a strong game, strong license, and the quoted price isn't too far off in some locations. Will go for 10% or so less in other places.

Thanks guys.
Any good sources for a new dmd?

As for star wars.. Yes, it's not much of a player. Shallow ruleset, sega quality.

Star trek is a bit of a suprise. good ruleset, smooth shot sequences, lots of mini-modes.

I may hang onto star trek for a little while, and sell star wars (and possibly pinbot)

A new DMD will usually run you $125-$150 at any reputable pinball parts dealer. I use Bay Area Amusements myself (they're fairly local) but Marco Specialties, Pinball Life, Little Shop of Games, and the Pinball Resource are all great.

I just popped 2 new DMD's in my newest games (Rocky and Bullwinkle and CFTBL) and it's easy as pie to do and makes SUCH a difference.

Post by: TheOtherBob on November 06, 2006, 02:57:38 pm: Like others have said, get a new dmd for TNG. Terry at pinballlife.com has them for 120.00. Pretty good price actually. All the other sources posted are good suppliers too.

Great price btw on those machines.

Don't get rid of TNG... I've had mine for almost two years and it still hands me my behind often.....

Post by: ChadTower on November 06, 2006, 03:03:32 pm: I second the recommendation for TNG. I'm not a Trek fan but it is a good game. The Star Wars pins, and I am a SW fan, all pretty much suck.
