Jumping in Head First...First Pin Star Trek Next Generation !!!
Charles4400:
Oh also the 'continue' button has been replaced with a generic white non lit button...do you know where I can get a replacement lit button (preferably original). Or I suppose I could replace it with an extra button I have left over from the mame cab....do you know if these are lit by 5v or 12v?
Thanks!

The legs are no big deal at all, very normal wear. Buy some leg protectors and that will hide that damage completely. I can recommend what I feel is the best setup if you like as there are many chooses out there.

What do you mean by best setup? Best setup for the legs? Yes, please, I'm all ears for suggestions!

It's wear on top of the PF, I've been thinnking about removing that protective layer just over that area but havent got the guts yet to do it with goo gone in fear of removng paint...think I should try?

Is the service manual different from the Operations manual. I have the operations manual (downloaded fron ipdb) but it didn't come with any service manual.
Thanks for the input , this all helps!
I paid in total $2400. Didn't pay shipping but picked it up. Think I paid too much?
I'm loving this pin regardless! It really is fun to play though the wife has shown ZERO interest in it!

The going rate on this game is between 2 and 3g depending on condition so if you are happy, I would say you got a good deal.
I am not 100% sure on this game, are those decals on the sides or is it silkscreened? The reason I ask is because this will determine on the leg protectors I recommend.
Operations manual is the same as the service.
The damaged area is that a sticker there then that has the damage or are you saying there is mylar over it?
My gf could care little about my pinball or arcade cab as well. ::)
Charles4400:
The sideart of the cab I guess is silscreened...it's not a sticker so it seems to have been painted directly on the cab?
The damage area on the playfield is like a clear sticker in the shape of a long triangle which leads from the area shown directly to where the ball drops in the start mission hole.
The 'sticker' itself is clear, I don't know if it is mylar but was definately put over the playfield (as opposd to under whatever coating they used on the playfield) Nothing is coated over the clear sticker. I assume it was put their to protect the high traffic areas of the balls. There are also some semi-circle clear stickers in front of the 'bumbers' (right term?) (which are directly over the flippers) but those seems to be in fine condition.

Ok... So screen on, just go with the plastic leg protectors.
As far as the sticker goes, before you even attempt to remove it, have you found a replacement????
Charles4400:
Isn't that clear sticker just a protector on that one strip of the PF and not necessary for a home environment?
I just assumed that that clear covering in that area was just there because of all the abuse that that section of the playfield might have in a commercial environment....in my home I though that all I would need is just waxing of the PF with a carnuba wax and once I get that sticker off to just leave it off.... is that ill advised?
