Up for sale or trade is my ST:TNG. I've gone back and forth about letting it go for a few years now and figure now may be the time, but I will happily keep it if I cannot get a good trade or price for it. I had a trade feeler ad up for it a couple years ago on Pinside that you can reference here:

Please ignore some of the wants listed as that was awhile ago. The pictures are also from about 2 years ago and I can take fresh ones if needed, but honestly it looks pretty much the same. I do need to take a couple as I noticed a bit of ghosting around the right orbit lock insert that wasn't captured in the pics that I want to make sure to document.
The biggest difference from back then is it now has the full LED kit from Pinballbulbs (tweaked it to make it less blue and use more frosted) and the GI OCD board to make the shields and other dimming work perfectly.
I would describe the condition as very nice player's quality. It's definitely not CQ or HUO or any other acronym, but it's a good machine. The playfield is nice with just a bit of insert edge wear. A couple plastics are cracked. The ramps are cracked, but only cosmetically and are pretty much hidden by the protectors. Cab is pretty nice overall, but does have minor bumps and bruises. Like I said, CQ it's not, but with a new set of plastics and ramps, it wouldn't be too far off.
It plays perfectly, has been reliable, and is pretty clean. I gave it a full top side plus subway tear down a few years ago. It hasn't gotten a ton of play since then, so it's still pretty clean and fresh and I've given it a quick clean and wax a couple times since. It hasn't given me any issues with optos, trough, etc for a few years now. No nightmares with this one!
I added a bunch of mods when I did the shop job...both Hallmark ships, Mantis ramp and subway protectors everywhere, plastic protectors, target decals, backboard decal, new cannon covers with domes (from the guy that makes the laser cannons...same nicer looking mold but without the lasers), new better Borg windows, third pop-bumper cap, extended stainless steel lane guides (because I'm a cheater, but will include the originals), and cliffy colored post sleeves. I think that's everything. It came with a cliffy protector already on the neutral zone.
Please note that the GI OCD board does interfere with the Hallmark ships lighting properly. The Romulan ship lights kind of come and go and the Klingon doesn't light at all. This is a known issue with using them with the OCD board and someone on Pinside did come up with a fix that involves bypassing the OCD board for them. I just haven't taken the time to do it.
I am pricing it at $4100 and am pretty firm there for now. Trades I am looking for are Game of Thrones pro, Metallica pro, TWD pro, TAV LE (blue or Hulk), TF LE (or maybe pro+cash), POTC. I may consider a few others as well, so feel free to send me ideas, but I'm pretty set on those or cash at this point. Subject to change.
Thanks!
Chris
