Answering pinfans question about having 2 x star trek 25th anniversarys, and having 2 x star trek next gens as well. 

**Re star trek 25th x 2 -Ken Priest had 2 x  star trek 25th pins in absolute beautiful condition, they were purchased from germany 5 years ago by him and sat in his warehouse for 5 yrs, never sold.I havent seen 2 x treks in such good nick so i thought buy em both, cause that condition is real hard to come by...and i am a bad star trek fan.
**Re having 2 x star trek next gens, i paid $3500 for one and $4 grand for the other.The first one is 8 or 8.5 outta ten, the second is a 9.5 outta ten.
I plan on giving my brother one of each for his 40th birthday in May of next year, but he might sell em or let his kids wreck them so i am having second thoughts.   My brother had a serious accident at work, had several operations and was never able to return, playing pins would keep him positive and less bored.Just gotta keep his kids from carving their initials in em.lol. 

Answering  Daics3522 question re the keys, if i had to change 20 plus barrels on 20 pins, i would probably stuff it up.just thought it easier to make a key board.plus most of the barrells on all the pins are brand new, chucking them would be a waste, but i do see ya point.I thought the barrels were about $20 each, but someone said $5 ??  I wish i had invested that much money buying the pins, i would cash em in .lol.
