The two in the transporter were the ones in the movie whose molecules got scrambled when they went to transport to the Enterprise and the transporter malfunctioned.
I played this game many times shortly after it came out. Entering the time warp was very much like getting an extra ball since the bonus was collected and you can start from scratch again.
sorry Joe's classic video games I've not been watching am back to work and never have time to watch anything but hope to catch from the last video in January 🤣🤣🤣🤣 hope your all doing good
@@LyonsArcade There are four--this one, the Data East 25th Anniversary, the Williams Star Trek: The Next Generation (one of the greatest pinballs of all time), and the Stern one based on the Abrams movies (which had several minor variants). That's not counting unlicensed knock-offs.
The Bald Chick: Persis Khambatta was a chain smoker.[9] In 1998, she was taken to the Marine Hospital in south Mumbai, complaining of chest pains, and she died of a massive heart attack on 18 August 1998 at the age of 49. (From Wikipedia.)
turned out great, awesome work man. saw this game at Dallas pinfest a few weeks ago and the flipper and pop bumper action was a dog due to lack of maintenance. now after this vid i would like to play again on one that's just been shopped seems way more entertaining
Yeah you know how it is, you have to get that stuff really strong to make it fun. Another thing I didn't mention in the video is, we always make ours more steep, if you look @ the beginning you can see the back leg levelers are almost all the way out. If the game is waxed and the flippers are strong, it can handle the angle and makes it play a lot better. Some games with saucers it doesn't like the slope but usually they manage to play faster.
Notice how the Enterprise on the playfield is the original series Enterprise, which looks a little different from the movie Enterprise on the backglass (compare the engines). I think they kept the original playfield from the prototype but swapped out some of the plastics to get Ilia from the movie in there.
I think you're right! There was an interesting little thing going on too with the game "Super Sonic"... if you go look at that one, it supposedly was going to be the original Star Trek design but they changed it around a little bit and made that one a Concorde Jet theme.... There's a big "S T" on the playfield on Super Sonic.... And then to make it more interesting, Super Sonic was a redesign of "Star Ship".... which was a straight up Star Trek ripoff, complete with a fake Enterprise! Check it out here: www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=3498 And you can kind of see what Bally was up to at the time....
I had one of these from 1984--1990 hauled it from MN to CA when I moved. My play field was really beat up and had constant issues with the molex power connecters burining up from to high of current draw and burning the pins and plastic connectors. I toko this as a trade from a freind who sold them as refurbs I traded him My Atari Superman for this. should have kept the Atari...
Hi Joe. What kind/color name of paint did you use for the blue trim on the scoreboard? Also product did you use to spray on backside of back glass to preserve it? Thank you for all you videos and it was your channel that rekindled in me to hoard and bring back to life pins!
Looks great, ive only ever played the Next Generation and the remake of this table for the JJ Abrams reboot movies. Did you guys get those two eventually?
We've never had either of those, we did have the Data East one from the 25th anniversary. It was pretty cool we've got a video of it on here somewhere....
The enterprise is NOT firing at you with the bonus values, that beam is coming from the deflector array! The BALD CHICK's name is Ilia and she was VGER's voice to the enterprise in "Star Trek the Motion Picture"!
the guy in green at the top of the play field was another vulcan LT. Sonak he died when the transporter malfunctioned turned him into a very ugly mess that didnt live long the lady was beaming in with him was never identified in the movie memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Sonak
I realise it's a bit late (and you may have solved this already) but there is something screwed up with the bonus, the pop-bumpers were giving 3 bonus points, other things seemed to be giving bonus points when they shouldn't as well.
Did I do anything right, or do you just want to point out what you think's wrong? You missed some wrong stuff, I probably messed up all kinds of things if you go back and watch the video again. Any comments about my accent?
@@LyonsArcade Wow, I'm sorry you took my comment as a negative or an insult -- I was just making an observation. For the record I love your videos (I think I've watched at least 95% of them) and think your accent is great.
Hi Joe, may I ask what modern replacement transistors are for the "MCR106-1" and for the smaller transistors "2N2054" on the light board? For the solonoid board are the "TIP102"? I have bought now this 1979 Sar Trek Pinball and the pre owner did not fix all corrosions from the leaking battery, now I want to rework the complete lamp driver board. Some of the "MCR106-1" are heavy corroded and also on the PCB there is also this corrosion. So I decided now better do remove all transistors, clean that up, and seal the traces again. And as all old transistors are off the board, replacing them with new ones. Yesterday I fixed the burned connectors of the PSU with other used parts of my big bin :D (keeping old stuff pays out again) also added some washers to the rectifier. They are between the PCB and the frame, that acts like a heat sink, because the PCB was bent when the srews were tightened... (I will add a small fan to it later) There is still much work to do on the Pinball ... but step by step. Now the electronic part, then the mechanical. Even if it is very played, it has a good base to start on (my first pinball I own my self) (Have not yet upload pictures, will do this later) AND A BIG BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU for your videos, it makes it so much easier to find a start point to work on it, know where to keep an (or two) eye(s) on,... Thank you!! ;)
Hi crapcbm! The MCR106-1 you can replace with NTE5455 .... or C106BG, or you can probably still get the MCR106's from BigDaddy-Enterprises.com (they sell pinball parts).... The smaller ones were originally 2n5060's, but you can replace them with 2n5064's, there's probably other stuff that will work but we've been able to find enough of those on ebay that it hasn't been an issue.... On the solenoid board, yes Tip102 which are still available. Glad to hear you're saving one, we need more people like you willing to mess with them a little bit. Once you fix the stuff if you have any issues it's much easier to repair because you've already been completely through it! Thanks for watching, see you on the next video!
Hi , thanks ;) I will look for these types ;) Yesterday I also found a lamp board used without any warranty, but has the right components on it, 15 bugs is a good price imo "because you've already been completely through it" that is correct! Then one knows it in- and outside (how we say). There is much work ... the playfield is like destroyed, the pre owner removed the (i forgot the word "mailard"?) protection sticker in the lower half of the playfield and complete removed the paint (he better watched your videos haha) then he repainted it somehow ... bad ... It is okay, but if one doesn't know how it has to be, it is okay... I have seen ebay 233371290433 but that's too much money in my opinion, and to much work (remove really everything, sand down the complete field, make a good surface, and no one knows how long this sticker will last ... and it will lose it's 40+ years old flair. The playfield will look to good then. I only want to restore it to save it like it is, do some small things here and there. I have also seen ebay 303336127471 sticker, but that was "ok" repainted. Like above, the surface must be smooth or it will peel off again... and make it more worse. Have ordered parts from flipperteile.com they arrived today, also had to buy a "inch hexagon socket wrench" for the screws for the flipper fingers I will use white silicone rubber rings, they say they last longer and make no dirt Oh, and ... repainting things ... I tried these color pens (like an Edding pen, but with real color. It works somehow. But colors don't match the pen cap ... damn ... I didn't think, that it will make it much more worse... now there is color in the places where the wood was shining thru. Now I will keep that like it is and wax wax wax it :D that should protect it for so long and but I don't clear coat it now. May be later I will find someone who is good in painting in detail and can fix some wrong and missing paintings. We have so many students here in Heidelberg, there must be one that needs some extra money :D My goal is now to do the neccesary things, fixing old issues so nothing bad will happen in the near future. Writing long story ... now it's time to go back to work in the pinball :D Cheers, Andy (i hope my english is ok and everything makes sense :D )
if you like to see pictures: a68k.de/galerie/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=85 there is also a google translate link in the first post (hope it makes sense in the translation) Today I had the time to eventually upload the pictures, as I have to wait for more parts and it is good for my back bones, that was really too much the last days haha but if you have the "tunnel view" and only see the pinball machine, you don't care that much ... Now I try to get these drop-down-targets in star trek design :D These original round targets absolutly missmatch the Star Trek theme. (or can you give a link please?)
czcams.com/video/g5u7CF79of4/video.html now it's chiming on start like it should in correct theme. Next task, try to modify the soundboard ... 4 Bits? mh... Corona gives us much time now ...
Wow -- This really is a hybrid artstyle-wise between the 1960s TV show and the 1979 movie! The uniforms on the backglass are more like the Movie but not final design. Kirk's head definitely looks more like Shatner 1966-1969 than Shatner 1979. The lighter hair color and hairstyle are dead giveaways. The Enterprise itself is mostly the 1979 design but the saucer is more like 1960s version and lacks the details added to the final 1979 revision of the ship. The playfield artstyle is completely at odds with the backlight/scoreboard art if you look too long. It's obviously influenced by the 1960s series and has almost nothing from the 1979. The giveaway is the copyright for the game -- 1978. The movie wasn't released until December 1979 and a LOT changed between the preliminary designs they gave Bally to work from and the final movie. Also, Q/A departments weren't a huge thing with studios so they give the licensee more leeway to design the game Bally's way as opposed to being dictated overly much by Paramount (the studio that owns Star Trek). I think the backlight prototype art (from what I saw in a photo) was nice but if you want to be authentic to original arcade the original scoreboard is what you'd keep. It's a decent pinball machine and collectible for hardcore Classic Star Trek fans.
The game was originally released with a TOS-themed backglass but everyone got a Motion Picture "costume change" mid-production run. That's why it looks so odd. The original backglass looks great!
Look at the tilt bob inside of it and see if it's touching the ring it hangs down inside of, if that's not it, there's a capacitor right there on the tilt bob that sometimes shorts together and causes that problem. We had the exact same thing happen on this video: czcams.com/video/o7LOaFwbpEw/video.html
Did you replace the drop targets with the correct ones before you sold it? The ones you put in the machine have a Next Generation logo on them. Weren't the originals more of a round target graphic?
I played this one in the 90s when I was a kid, I remember the sounds to this day.
The Scotty of game repair!
Thanks!
The two in the transporter were the ones in the movie whose molecules got scrambled when they went to transport to the Enterprise and the transporter malfunctioned.
I remember that :)
I played this game many times shortly after it came out. Entering the time warp was very much like getting an extra ball since the bonus was collected and you can start from scratch again.
Yeah that's really a great shot (If I could just make it on video, lol).
Fun game!
I have the Original 1979 Star Trek pinball in working condition
Great video. I am finally getting my 79 Bally ST back up. Lots of good information - Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Kevin.
Damn, McCoy been hitting the gym!
again Love the rebuild You did one Hell of a job Save every one you can
Thank you Burt!
Loved this series (and this machine)...whoever got this machine is a lucky person!
It turned out really nice! We're working on a nicer one now though :)
We had this in our college bar back, in the UK, in the early eighties, addictive and many hours wasted! Enjoyed watching you play, took me back.
sorry Joe's classic video games I've not been watching am back to work and never have time to watch anything but hope to catch from the last video in January 🤣🤣🤣🤣 hope your all doing good
We're doing great Roiberad, thanks for watching!
I didn't even KNOW they made a STAR TREK pinball game! EPIC!!!
Yes sir, there were actually several, I think there were three of them!
@@LyonsArcade There are four--this one, the Data East 25th Anniversary, the Williams Star Trek: The Next Generation (one of the greatest pinballs of all time), and the Stern one based on the Abrams movies (which had several minor variants). That's not counting unlicensed knock-offs.
I live in Wales U.K I just love star trek pinball.
It's a Klingon D-7 Battle-cruiser. Life-long Trekkie here. ;-)
Dammit I always get my Klingons and Romulans mixed up :) Thanks for the clarification!
Hahah! You're welcome!
are you 100% sure... memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/D7_class
Great way to tie up this series. I find pinball machines much more compelling now.
Thanks Melanated Prose, we appreciate you watching :) This was a great game, we have another one we're doing in the distant future :)
This is my favourite pinball machine.
It's a great game, we've got another one we're working on right now, what a classic!
@@LyonsArcade i played this game in the early 80s for many many hours playing with multi players. A fantastic pinball machine.
outstanding!
Thank you Mike, really enjoyed this game!

They’re either Klingon D-7 combat cruisers or Romulan Battlehawks (based on D-7 designs acquired from the Klingons) 🙂

I want to get one of those Atari's so I can video all the work on it :)
The illustration reminds me a little of Mort Drucker/MAD Magazine style.
I can see that, definitely!
NICE SAVE, BRO!!!!
Thanks Will, we appreciate it :)
I think an FM rendition of Gustav Holst's 'Mars' would be good background music for a somewhat more modern Star Trek pinball.
The "bald chick" is Lieutentant Ilia. She is only seen in ST: The Motion Picture.
Bally AS-2518-32 Star Trek Pinball Custom Sound Board . Adds custom voices and sounds.
The "Bald Chick" was called Ilia (Eye-lee-ah) not (Ill-ya) like I've heard some people say it.
I think we should all just start referring to her as the Bald chick, it will eliminate a lot of confusion :)
Klingon Battle Cruisers!
Thank you!
Not Romulan.. Klingon Bird of prey was what that was on the side art
Hi Joe. What kind/color name of paint did you use for the blue trim on the scoreboard? Also product did you use to spray on backside of back glass to preserve it? Thank you for all you videos and it was your channel that rekindled in me to hoard and bring back to life pins!

The 'bald chick' is a female Deltan named Lt. Ilea (Captain Decker's main squeeze)

Thats a klingon warship
Its ok Joe's Did you see my emails to, sorry for the name confusion in the emails. :)
Is there a voltron themed pinball?
Not yet :)
5:28 ya she gets possessed by Vger/Voyager (spoilers), the game version appears slightly "enhanced" though 😲 ..that shirt is illogical
That's what they do in pinballs :)
What did you end up selling it for?
At the time I think it was $2300 or something they've went up since then. Thanks for watching pinball fanatic!
Damn it Jim I'm a doctor not a..🐔
Klingon D7 Cruiser JOE not a Romulan ....
Whoops!
Did you replace the drop targets with the correct ones before you sold it? The ones you put in the machine have a Next Generation logo on them. Weren't the originals more of a round target graphic?
The originals broke, we put these new ones in. Buyer loved them.
Joe's Classic Video Games So long as customer was happy. Cool.
at what angle is the play field ?
I have no clue we never measure. It's more steep than it's supposed to be, we always make them pretty steep.
And leaning to the right 👻
"the bald chick" is in star trek 1 the motion picture. i think
The character is named Lieutenant Ilia. She is the love interest of Commander Willard Decker
