Well I got it! Paid a little more than I was hoping but I didn't have to ship it so I am overall pretty happy. Neutral zone is not to bad but the kidney inserts are a little rough as Pinsanity mentioned they might be. The back box circuit boards and under the playfield are fairly well original and unmolested which I am happy about.   #*#   Just a couple of capacitors look a bit dodgy. Have not checked the fuse ratings yet. Down the track I would like to replace the playfield and do up the cabinet but for now with a few minor fixes and new rubber I'll just play the guts out of it I think.
congradulations on the nice new pin.....enjoy!

Well done. A working ST TNG is a HARD game to master.

The collector wanted the best ST TNG possible. It is currently over $8500 ("currently" as we are looking at Color DMD and a couple of mods to ADD to that price).

Cabinet has been repainted and redecaled. Playfield touched up and clearcoated. New ramps throughout (not the milky poor repros), plastics set, LEDs - the list goes on.

And therein lies the fundamental differences between "shopped" and "restored" with the outlay reflective of price.

Are your green kidney inserts good or need replacing ?

Pm received.
Kidney inserts found & ready for you Dan.

Thanks Wiked. I didn't know there is custom sound ROM's available. What good things are found in them?

I have them in my STTNG. I just found a video on YouTube. You need to change the 6 ROM chips at U2 through to U7. If you need yours programmed and can't do it yourself then I can do it for you etc. When I did mine I just bought some second hand Eproms off eBay pretty cheap and  programmed them one day.
