Sold STTNG £4,000

[Andy B]

Sold pending payment.

Sold on Pinball Machines for Sale in UK FB page but have had lots of advice through forum members on here so will be making site donation.

STTNG barn find that I've just finished restoring. See shop log for more details and photos and Technical Questions Forum for the issues I've sorted with it.

In summary:

• Cabinet is not very nice, particularly down left side - if I was keeping it I would definitely re-decal
• Lockdown bar needs a right good polish as it has plenty of scratches
• As it was kept in a damp warehouse for Lord knows how long the left corner of the MDF base of the cabinet is soft but it has been well dried out and is otherwise solid (it's not like the bottom is going to drop out of it any time soon) and it does not stink!
• Playfield glass is badly scratched.
• The last issue I fixed on it was intermittent fault with launcher motors due to a flaky ribbon cable and some pin corrosion but the pins have been cleaned up and new ribbon cable is on order which will be fitted before it goes.

Now wasn't that refreshing for someone to start off with the bad points? So if you're still reading, here's the good stuff:

• New Pinsound Rocket CPU fitted
• New Pinsound DMDLux DMD controller board fitted
• New Pinsound LED display fitted
• New translite
• Upper right flipper rebuilt
• New left flipper opto board fitted
• Noflix LEDs fitted everywhere barring a few places where they looked naff so I put incandescent bulbs back in (e.g. backbox and ball launchers)
• New Pinball Heaven cannon looms fitted
• Top of playfield totally stripped and cleaned with surface rust removed from all wireforms and polished
• Launcher towers removed and tumble polished
• Playfield rebuilt and new set of rubbers fitted
• Gun resprayed
• New locks fitted
• Neutral Zone hole protector fitted
• Neutral Zone target cover replaced
• 6 new pinballs installed

100% working with no errors on boot up.

I am looking for £4,000 for it, which is around £200 short of what I paid for the machine itself and all the parts I have fitted (it was all about rescuing the machine for me, not profit). I am open to offers and trades for a machine that I could sell on for similar price (or something that might need a little bit of work before I could sell on for similar price).

Will get some photos of the cabinet in daylight but wanted to throw the sexy playfield photos up tonight to gauge interest.

Oh, and I have a Luton hired for this weekend and am taking machines from Arcade Hub in Hull to Steve’s place in Nuneaton so could deliver for free if you’re not too far off that route.

Yep, seen the ones that have come up on here and gone quiet quickly.

They were all cosmetically a lot better than this one which is why I’ve listed at a few hundred quid lower than the last one that went for £4,300 I believe.

I’ve been enjoying playing it though some of the shots seem a bit crazy hard to me. Been to the Final Frontier with it (with the glass off to test full functionality obviously) and that’s awesome.

If I didn’t need money for Christmas this would be staying and would be getting new cabinet decals and powder coated legs and lockdown.

Never was a Star Trek fan in its day, but having one of these machines it’s a great machine for the money, me and my brother play it regularly. Great shots and call outs. Good luck

Yeah it’s a great pin, GLWTS

Andy Heighway sold me one years ago. Cannons never worked reliably which kind of ruined the game

Yep, I’m not a Treckie fan but I would have kept it if I didn’t need the cash. It’s a great game.

A great game but a pain in the a***e if it hasn't been rebuilt in some shape or form
