Howdy everyone,
So, I am selling the last machine from my "original" collection of 2012 - TFTC. Most people here know that I became decently well versed in repairing this machine as my "threads started" logs will show.
This machine is 100% mechanically and electrically sound. There is nothing wrong with it. It has LEDs throughout it that I handpicked and installed. It has the "flipper fingers" on all three flippers; you can see them in the pictures or FS over at eBay. Cliffy on the Creature Feature scoop. Tombstone motor works flawlessly. I rebuilt the Super VUK in the back right corner; it gets used thoroughly on this machine. I installed new drop targets with replacement decals. I also installed new guillotine plastics from fellow Pinsider, RussMeyers. I replaced the switch at the end of the ball trough assembly that is well known for causing the "search for the last ball after multiball" problem - a problem that was thoroughly documented at this thread:

The game is not in flawless condition in terms of aesthetics. Most notably is a spot on the front under the coin door where two small chips were knocked off the cabinet. It was the cause of someone helping me unload the machine after I bought it, and rather than listen to my instructions, they did it their way and damaged my machine....
There are areas of the PF walls that could be touched up with the TFTC purple paint - a vial of which I have and will include with the machine. This is not paint you can just go color match at HD/Lowes - ask me how I know.
Side cabinet and backbox art look solid - not 10/10, but pretty darn good overall. Minor flipper button wear that can be touched up with the TFTC paint if you so desire; the wear has NOT eaten through the sideart.
In one of the backbox sideart pictures, there is a solid white line. That was from some drywall as we moved these machines upstairs. It is NOT a scratch. I didn't see it until I uploaded these photos - rest assured - it is just drywall that can be scraped off with your fingernail.
Boards look solid with no signs of hacks or "weird previous owner" hacks.
There is no topper. It was nearly in pieces when I acquired the machine.
I have an entire new set of playfield plastics from CPR - completely unopened - that I will throw in the deal.
Shaker motor works great.
I have included a solid number of photos as well as multiple YT videos for anyone's viewing.
The price is $2000 OBO. I am interested in trades of a machine of near equal value, and I don't mind throwing cash in on my side if you have something I want (RFM, Corvette, or similar B-list DMD machine). If we do a trade, it needs to be in equal condition as my TFTC; I am not interested in projects or machines with insert wear/curling, dirt embedded in the PF, or anything else that suggests neglect.
If you want me to ship, I am willing to do it on the basis that the buyer will arrange all shipping.

And finally, a demonstration video of TFTC being played. The individual who was interested in purchasing this machine backed out, so pay no attention to that comment near the end:
