Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Data East, 1991Can someone shoot me a picture of the underside of the auto plunger assembly? Someone jury rigged one and I ordered all the right parts, but still having a hard time getting it to all function correctly I.e. switch work, auto plunger work, and regular plunger plunge smoothly. Thanks!
Quoted from The_Director:jury rigged
Quoted from The_Director:Just checking back in on this
My apologies on this. I just got distracted. Please let me know if you need another angle or anything else.

Their was an amendment to the shooter kicker assembly.
1) TMNT used Ceckpoint 1st generation launch kicker.
1a) The bad, Checkpoint kicked the balls flat up the playfield. [no problems]
1b) TMNT has to kick the balls up a ramp assembly.
1bb) Balls would get stuck if not kicked hard enough through the top "J" hook.
--- [fried kick coil would happen]
2) Data East changed assembly on Batman.
2a) 1st generation Turboboost Kicker 500-5304-00
2b) 2nd generation Turboboost Kicker 500-5406-00
--- [ this 2nd assembly has ball shooter hole through the kicking assembly]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Data East Tommy would revise the Turboboost Kicker again.
3a) Auto Ball Launch Assembly 1st gen. 500-5769-00
3b) Revised Assembly 500-5797-00 with revised Ball Shooter 500-5744-00-04
4) Auto Launch Assembly revised again "current style"
--- [Auto Coil Assembly 500-6092-00-01] with
--- [ Autoplunger Weld Asse. 500-6091-00-041]
Note: As older Data East parts became N.L.A. it was recommended to fit the new 'current style'
------ into the underside of the playfield. Thus a lot of hacking would end up to the under side
------ of the playfield.
I was able to fit the Batman style kicker assembly into a Data East TMNT pinball.
