I picked up this EM yesterday. It's Mars Trek made in Spain by Sonic with Williams parts. The cabinet is in fair condition, unfortunately they used particle board for their cabs. The best part is they clearcoated the playfield from the factory so it looks and plays like new. It was quite a task getting it out of the sellers basement, then down about 20 or so stairs to the street. I'll post more pics when I get it setup in a few days. - Barry

I've got this game too. It's a cool game. The backglass is probably one of the best ever. I would really like to know what the production was on this game. It appears to be undetermined.
 
Congrats! I love mine. The pf and glass always look like new on these. Very fun game: need exactly 50k bonus lit to light the EB lane behind the saucer, and 100k bonus lights a spinner. Those spinners go *forever*. Kind of simple but fun and challenging game. Great for a quick fix (selectable 3- or 5-ball, replay or EB). Although you'll usually play more than one game!
 
Yeah the cabs suck but the playfields are great. Mars Trek was a big money maker BITD !!!!
 
Got it in the house tonight. Put it together, installed the ball and flipped the switch. The GI in the backbox isn't working. The GI in the playfield works and the feature lamps in the backbox work. I suspect the connectors to the head are the problem. After looking at them, some of the pins have some oxidation. I know how to clean the pins but what is the best way to clean the sockets? - Barry
 
Looks like the GI lights was a connector issue. Here's a pic and my "pin row" - Barry
