Gents
Any club members thinking of selling their Blackout? I'm interested if in or near PA.

Todd Tuckey at TNT Amusements has one for sale......

Ladies and Gents,
May I join the club? Received this beauty today and can't stop playing! What a blast! Purchased from Toby on Pinside ( great seller) and sent to Todd Tuckey for a tune up.
I have been an EM guy to this point so will need some help from you all in the future.

Yes, mine was the one on the left that Todd played. It arrived yesterday and has been played non stop..... what a blast! , but haven't achieved Blackout mode yet; have come close. It seems pretty hard to get unless you manage to hit the yellow drops on the plunge.... with EM's as my only pins prior, getting used to 3 ball play has been an adjustment.

That helps a lot! I didn't know the yellow drops rule...I'll use that strategy against my boys and only reveal it after I've established my dominance!

When it rains it pours..... finally was successful at completing Blackout mode twice last night ! Unfortunately nobody was there to witness it. The sound effects are so cool on this game !

Maybe a dumb question but.....I can't figure out the 1-20 lights in the middle of the playfield and how it relates to scoring?

Thanks all, for the explanation. I love this game.....the sound effects remind me of a 1950's sci fi drive in movie.

Need a little help please. My attract mode lighting and gameplay insert lighting are not functioning. The sling lights and blackout hole are working. As an aside, the ball count display wasn't working but magically now, is. I tried running a few games/ turning off the game in hopes of a reset.
Any ideas for me?
Thanks!

Nobody respond until I check fuses....maybe a separate fuse for under playfield lights?

Yep..... it was a fuse. I didn't think of that first because I thought it would have been one fuse for all playfield lights. I'm new at this stuff !

When I hit say, two of the three red drop targets and then drain the ball and the targets reset, shouldn't the game remember that , and only require me to hit the third target to light the red " blackout " light on the next two balls? Currently, the only way to light the yellow or red "blackout lights "is to hit all of the corresponding targets on the same ball. The game remembers which green stand ups you hit throughout all three balls. If this is not the way the game plays, how do I fix it?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

I requested TNT Amusements to put white on mine. Todd told me that yellow was the original color. Guess it's just a matter of preference.

Has anyone here replaced their Flipper coils for stronger ones? My assemblies were all rebuilt but just feel stronger flippers are necessary to reach the yellow drops quicker and just speed up the gameplay a bit. Opinions?

No, sorry, what is the trick?

Can you show pics and explain your flipper idea? Mine are rebuilt by TNT but still could be snappier, 25% stronger for the yellow target shot. Does anyone else agree or am I spoiled by new / modern pin flipper power?
