Re: Need parts for Star Trek cockpit and info.

Dan,

I know you've been looking for this stuff for quite some time, as you've
posted in several different places. Something as custom as the Star Trek
top will probably be hard to locate, as it appears to be a piece commonly
missing on these. Not to mention it would be difficult to ship.

I could probably help you out with the spinner, boardset, and cage.

BTW, If anyone has any spare cages, I'd be interested in them.

The wiring could be completed on your own with some work.
www.spies.com/arcade has the wiring diagram in the schematics section.

Hmm, flyer doesn't show any Sega Sticker...?

You might be able to find something that could make do failing finding
someone willing to part with theirs. Maybe a carpet or floor type store
might be able to present a solution for you.

Hopefully someone can help you out with those. There is a Star Trek control
panel and manual on ebay right now, but the manual is for the deluxe kit;
much of it still applies, with the main difference going to be the wiring
diagram sheet (which can be gotten from spies).

For the rest, of the parts, I would consider finding a friend who can do
some metal fabrication/work for you and just fabricate the missing pieces
(control panels and plexi frame), as they don't appear to be overly complex.

Good luck with your project!
