I've just acquired my Tommy and it came without 'Blinders' or 'Arches' fitted. In fact not even the servo driver board. After Googling and asking on forums I found Mark's article.
I ordered a new set of his repro Blinders which arrived very well packed and looked terrific! His help and advice invaluable. He continued to follow up on my project.
I received the new Drive board made by Frank at TNT in the USA. Plugged everything in and powered up. After hunting through the menu and finding a 'Disable' feature for the Blinders in the Adjustments section, everything suddenly sprung into life!!
My machine now looks and plays exactly how it was supposed to. It would never have done without the help of Mark (Bakerman) and Frank at TNT Amusements.
Highly recommended!!!

I just purchased and received the new blinder mechanism from Bakerman in Germany and the new servo motor board from TNT Amusements.
It installed really easily and worked flawlessly.
Here is a link to the work on the blinders. If you scroll to the bottom, I have a short video of the blinders working.

IMG_1348 (resized).jpegYou can order the newly designed Tommy board which comes with a new motor, and also adjustment dials to make it perfect with your game direct from our website www.tntamusements.com . We also sell a new redesigned Sega Frankenstein board with a new motor also...$85 plus the shipping for either...we take PayPal and all 3 major credit cards and ship fast! Both made by tech guru Frank Lindenmuth who also makes the lithium battery boards for ALL games...we have sold hundreds of them! Todd

I do not know if your motor (servo) would be compatible with my blinders, and the whole blinders assembly comes with the servo pre-fitted anyway.
we include the servo as some people have the original and gears are stripped....but your motor will work with Frank's board. Todd

I used the servo board from TNT and your blinders that I posted a few entries above and they work great together.
Yes, I have an extra servo but the TNT board was worth the $90 including postage with the servo and I now have an extra that I will probably never use. And the blinders from Bakerman was a great all in one solution.

Thought I'd check-in with a high mileage report 
... installed my Bakerman blinders 6 years ago and haven't had a single issue. Buy with confidence!

Thanks for the update. Good to know that they are standing up well to the passage of time.
