A friend of mine has requested a set of the Bally Star Trek Flipper Button Mods for himself; so I'll be ordering some more PCBs to build a set for him. I'm testing the waters here to see what the interest is... hopefully; I won't be overwhelmed with "when can you ship?" requests - but I guess things could be worse if that happens.
For those who haven't seen them; I've posted some pictures and video here:

I beleive these will work in any late 70s early 80s Bally or Stern Pin; please check your machine to ensure they use the same button assemblies. May also work with Gottlieb® games from the same era. Make sure your game uses simular mounting techniques before requesting a place in line.
What you'll get:
* 2qty custom PCBs with LEDs.
* 2qty Red or Green Transparent Buttons.
Star Trek's would come with one flipper etched and paintfilled with an TOS engineering logo; and the other with a TOS command logo.
Other machines would come blank; or with custom etches if supplied by the customer.
* 2 qty 2pin power connectors to tye into your own 6.3VAC GI circuit.
What you'll need to supply:
* reuse of your flipper Bushings.
* reuse of your mounting screws.
* reuse of your existing flipper switch.
What you'll need to remove:
* existing opaque button
* back support plate.
Ball park figure for a set of PCBs w/ Red or Green transparent buttons is ~$99 as I'll be hand assembling each of these. This price will require manual splicing into the 6.3VAC circuit of the Pin.
Options:
A custom bolt-on wiring harness may be available (requiring no modification to the machine); but would cost a minimum of $30 due to the amount of time required to hand assemble. Crimping 28 connections by hand is a PITA.
Let me be clear; this is not a High Volume Manufacturing operation. Each part and PCB will be hand assembled; tested; and etched as time permits during my hobby time after work. I have no parts on hand; i'm sure it will take at least a month before parts begin to arrive here for assembly. You may be requested to make a good-faith deposit to help fund some of the cost of materials. First Come - First Served.
If your interested; let me know by email: zittware <at> hotmail <dot> com.
