Complete STTNG the next one for the shop job!

Hi, Kev,

It looks like there are washers directly under the nylock nuts holding the jet bumper rings; are they the thin ones meant to be between the shoulder of each shaft and the metal armature link?.
 
Amazingly well spotted Jay!!!! my cock up which will be rectified immediately!

Thanks bud

Kev

Steel all the way mate, I have just sold one of my MB's and the legs had been on for months and had been removed a few times. There is not a mark on the cab. I will never fit anything else on a shopped machine.

I also modded mine to remove some height and incorporate screws. Its in my MB shop log on here.

Cheers

Lost last weekend due to the brill NLP show, but now back on it and the LEDs are now fitted, just waiting on a few missing ones to turn up and then attention turns to the top of the playfield - at last!!!

Cheers Kev

Depends on the theme of the machine - futuristic type machine look better with cool white LEDs so STTNG T2 Demo Man etc other look better with warm white but the choice is purely personal. At PLAY at the weekend there was 2 T2s, one had standard tungsten bulbs in (very warm colouring) and the other had cool white LEDs - the one with the cool LEDs looked awesome!!! the other looked crap to be honest

Hope that helps

Bit more work on top tonight and wired up playfield so first sneak peek at the leds - gotta say thay look fab !!!! lot m,ore GI to go in yet and mess around with but the inserts look spot on.

Some of you may note the left cannon isn't homing even though I have put a new loom on both cannons. It did this before I shopped so its something I've done but clearly nothing to do with the loom. It intermittently works and in the cannon test the optos are working fine - very odd. I'm thinking bad connection but not sure where yet, so if anyone has seen this before it may save me a lot of digging!!

Cheers Kev

suspect it needs replacement looms from @philpalmer - those should be changed as a matter of course on STTNG as commonly fail..

Edit - Ahh you rewired them... my bad!
