I CANT BELIEVE IT !

[beaky]

before this machine turned up brett used to have plenty of spare room in his garage, as i said 'used to'.
the great thing about it is it uses a standard pc to run the game with a standard graphics card and a standard pc power supply. the only thing that is not off the shelf is the pcb that the guns plug into. but there is only a couple of i.c's on that board, not much can go wrong. over the next week i am going to backup the hard drive for brett as the software is the hardest thing to replace.

Looks great brett and even better when seen in the flesh.

we had to install a 240v to 115v transformer in it to run the monitor. Fortunately the pc power supply had a 115v, 240v selector switch (as most pc power supplies do)

now to get some time to play it.

Andrew (Beaky) and I fired up STAR TREK VOYAGER tonight and did all the testing and made a few slight adjustments.

Had to spend $190 on a transformer from Dick Smiths to run it. 240v to 115 volt. 3 amp etc. Beaky knows wht he is doing and took care of all that.

Andrew has taken one gun home to fix as something was rattling inside and it needed fixing. Otherwise she works fine and I have been shooting at the Borg and conducting various missions. We will look at a speaker upgrade on two of the speakers. They are fine but i reckon we can get a bit more clarity from 2010 models versus 2003 models.

Overall, I am happy with the new toy and a big thanks to Andrew for his help setting the power/adjustments up. There is nothing Andrew cant do and I am pleased i scored a good mate and tech from joining Aussie Pinball. The factory red LED kit on this machine is awesome as well. Forgot to mention that earlier.
I love star trek so having this has voyager machine has made my decade. Voyager is my favourite trekky series so i am over the moon. The game is fun and challenging and has hundreds of levels/missions.

Now, to invite some other members over for alcohol and pinballs and star trek shoot em ups. !

Good one cavey  

I might call over sometime this weekend for a few games

[Caveoftreasures]

My 9 year old is having her birthday tomorrow, so i will have 20 kids here in the arvo.

Star trek arrived barely in time. I will let the kids have a go, but if they wreck anything, i will have to rip arms n legs off. lol

Leon, come over mate, anytime. still cold beer here from last time !

Fantastic Brett im stunned you fitted it in there there wasnt that much room when i was there...   Looks to be well worth all the effort only one in Oz thats got to be a bonus 

[Caveoftreasures]

Looks like you could throw some wheels on that and drive it down the street

Uh-OH …..now I have put a crazy idea into Caveys head 

Congrats mate – gotta get up there one day

its funny you say that about driving something like a arcade machine or pinball down the road. I have some spare pinball cabinets, and i was thinking about converting my spare bugs bunny birthday bash into a driving pinball by shoving the cabinet onto a go-kart or something.
driving a pinball down the street would make a great video.  crazy stuff never hurts, yet !

Thanks again mate for the cold beers as well 

[johnwartjr]

Glad it finally made it! Enjoy it!

[beaky]

now that both guns have been repaired the game works perfectly.
isn't it lovely how a company can sell you a machine that is in perfect working order and one of the most important things need repairing?

I had to smile on saturday when i was repairing one of the machines and one of the mothers came into the games room with her kids and said "wow this pinball palour even has its own technician"

Classic - obviously you look like you belong there, Beaky.
