I paid $3400 x 2 for my 2 x star trek 25th's.

MINTY came at a price i can tell u.

I purchased the second one the day the new star trek movie came out. Ken did say he had quite a few enquiries in the weeks after the movie came out but "sorry, just sold the last real good one" was the standard reply he gave. I am happy. They both are beaut machines.
I love all things star trek so i am happy to keep both forever with my 2 x next gens and the voyager arcade. Addicted is addicted.  @.@ @.@

Metal Playfield posts get tumbled and re installed.

Plastic posts are cleaned individually with a toothbrush using Nifti and hot water.

I also started installing Leds and metal guides...

mate, she looks sweet.  ^^^

please take a video and lots of photos of the game after the LEDs are working.
I have to replace almost every bulb on my two machines because the quality is iether really crap, or ken chose the lowest/dimmest versions known to man. the bulbs are a chineese brand and they are crap.

pulling that large main ramp off with all the stuff aint an easy task to redo all the bulbs with LED's but if it looks great, i will bite the bullet and just do it.
I purchased cliffys from mark c to add to the machines anyway, so off with the ramp.

cant wait to see a vide of yours marco.  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^

A lot of fun to follow the restoration.  I have never seen the game, but like the Sci-themes generally.  Very clean work.

if u havent played a star trek 25th anniversary, its a great game. the lights and audio are very well designed.  ^^^

the machine has a hologram/picture in the backglass/headbox that dissapears and re-appears just before multiball that simulates the crew dissapearing on/into the transporter like the show. the only machine made with this effect i am led to believe.

a great game and all the great audio from the original series.the game is alot of fun. marco's will play real fast because of the playfield polish.

I cant wait to see the LED's installed and lit up ! if u havent played one, give it a go. real collectable as well being star trek.  ^^^
