I thought two Star Treks were an achievement but now... There's four!
Needs a bit of TLC, the ramp lamp chaser board has been stolen and a few hacks to undo

(It's not the eBay one)

I wonder if there's ever been a UK comp with four star treks together? Probably not one this small😆 such effort for our niche events 🙈
 
not seen 4 or more different star treks in the UK before. I've never seen the Gottlieb one but it isnt licensed anyway.

we had a Bally in storage but ran out of time fixing it for Destination Trek but Courtney did resurrect 2 Data East ones and the Shats signed some Bally posters. The Bally machine had no artwork left on the deck so would have needed an overlay. sold later to a couple who rethemed it . I (obviously!) kept the backglass.

At NLP Manchester we managed 7 Star Wars - well it was May 4th

Was just checking as thought I had and Pinfest 2021 had 4 different Star Treks in a Row.
 
Correct but @steve brum obviously wasn't paying attention at pinfest in 2021... :thumbs:

If you read the pinball news report you can spot @kevlar Stern Star Trek in the photo of the two Aliens, with a tiny bit of the ST:TNG backbox showing.

Funny enough the chaser light board was also missing out of the DE Star Trek at pinfest, that machine now resides in Skillshot and the ST:TNG still lives at SWL.

If the chaser light board is missing, it means that the chaser lights will need repair or replacement as well.

Here's how to do the chaser lights:

Probably I was just sick of looking at ST TNGs and blanked them out.

Once had 8 on a van with 4 other pins. Super lumps

I've already tested the lamp strings with a 9v battery , they all work but could a short still exist? Got a repro board coming but the wiring for the chase lamp board has gone except the remnants which are in this old terminal block.
They've been cut then extended but still not long enough for where the board would be situated.

Also one of the string lights lines was cut at the connector behind the ramp and then spliced into the wire for the lamps on the other ramp. It's very peculiar.

I'd love to know why the board was taken out and this weird hack was done.

Thanks @Lecari and @David_Vi for another great day at Pinhaus. Some great play all day, especially by Phil Stokes gaining his first trophy, superb all day consistency by Helen Swaffield, and an awesome run to the finals by Lee Parkin, narrowly missing out on a top four place by a playoff against the mighty @NateG119 .
Huge congratulations @robotgreg for being the first two time Pinhaus champion 🏆
 
Huge thanks as ever to Claire and David for hosting another fabulous day of pinball the Pinhaus yesterday and to Lee and John for the fantastic chair.Chili and Curry not forgetting class gorgeous cheesecake.

Delighted to win ,especially.awesome Star Trek trophy. Really enjoyed the day with some great games one highlight of which was against Phil Stokes on Attack from Mars losing 6.7 against 7.7B. I agonised over my choice of game for the final and, as ever, made the wrong choice with Viking but thankfully the Star Trek.games saw me through although it was a tough fight with Nathan going to a tie break.

Also very well played to Lee and Marc who just missed out on the final and Phil for his first final, very well deserved. Congrats also to Nathan and Andy.

I decided on the spur of the moment at the end of the comp to go straight home rather than drive on towards.Tilt for the following day, which I'm now starting to regret. I will really miss today's comp.and hope everyone has a lot of fun but I'm not sure I'd have had the energy.
 
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who came yesterday - it is the people who make these events so special, and yesterday was no exception. There was such a great atmosphere all day - I really enjoyed it and I hope everyone else did too. I love that so many stayed after the comp ended, either watching the stream in the living room or having their own mini strikes competition!

Thank you @Kirpan and @Jmac for supplying the delicious lunches!

Thank you also to @PAZ and George for streaming the event - this game on Diner in the finals particularly sums up the atmosphere I think!: https://www.twitch.tv/electricelvis/v/2131080855?sr=a&t=2812s

The artwork on the trophies and the t-shirts was drawn by Cassie (who did the previous Pinhaus Has the Magic design): https://ctrlaltcassie.com/

Results are already up on the IFPA website: https://www.ifpapinball.com/tournaments/view.php?t=75228

Massive thanks to Claire n David for hosting a great day of Space themed pinball at Pinhaus. Really enjoyed the head to head format and playing the variety of machines … nice to have some classics in the lineup.
I will cherish the wooden spoon 😂 and use it as a reminder that some days it just ain’t your day at Pinball 😂
Look forward to a return visit sometime
Cheers Ian
