Hello all I'm new to the forum and have limited PM Vocabulary so I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge...

I was fortunate to pick up a Data East Tommy PM Machine today. The same machine I played as a teenager... it was stored since 1999-2000 in the Pizza Shop owners garage since then so minus some dust the overall condition seems excellent.

From what I learned on this site I took off the glass and inspected the playfield, tried as best I could to determine what was and was not functional... why take the glass off? Because both flippers are non functional.
Besides the flippers and some burnt out bulbs, everything seems fine.
The blinders are present but I forgot to see if they respond...
I will do that today.

The strange thing about the flippers is, they DO RESPOND during the opening video mode (capt walker plane mode) controlling the plane on the display flawlessly, but the flippers don't move whatsoever.

Where do I start troubleshooting?
Should I purchase a full flipper replacement kit or could this be a fuse or wire (something minor)

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I have an electrical engineer who works for me that will be helping me work on the PM repairs but he has little to no "PM experience". I figure he would be capable to discern the diagrams, wiring etc.

Thanks again

Thank you kindly, Sir!

Decided to send Tommy to TNT for a full Restore. Can't wait to bring it back better than ever!

$2500-$3000 for full restore with led
