I am reducing my collection of toys with this nice TZ as one of the toys for sale. I bought this game from a man in Barrington, IL in 2010. He told me that he bought it from a closed arcade back in December of 1995 and it was in his home since. After looking at the machine I agreed with his description and purchased it. I then found the original route maintenance cards in the machine which supported his claim of it ending service in 1995. The home I took it out of was probably a $2-3 million dollar home.
It has needed very little maintenance since receiving it. Here are the following mods: Pinball Pro speaker system, Gumballs, Gumball flasher kit, Magnet for mini playfield ramp diverter, Slot machine target re-enforcement. The rest of the machine is factory stock.
The playfield is near perfect with no wear. It appears to have had (and still does have) plastic film protection on the high use areas on the lower playfield. Everything works including the gumball machine, proximity sensors, display, magnets, upper playfield, optos, clock, etc. The translight is perfect as well. The cabinet is extremely nice and I have taken pictures of the various small scratches. The only items missing are the level that mounts next to the ball shooter lane and the plastic piece that sits between the inlane and outlane on the left side. The playfield and cabinet are very clean underneath as well. The electronic boards and wiring are excellent with no hacks or modified wiring that I can see. The cabinet has no fade and has sat in my basement with no windows. The software is version 9.4.
I just rebuilt all the flippers (except the right upper since it is perfect) which included new coils, crank kits, coil stops, coil sleeves, flipper bat post sleeves, and EOS switches. New rubbers are also installed and playfield cleaned. Again, it all works as it should with no problems and overall the machine is in excellent condition. The only thing I would consider doing would be replacing the side rails due to the headboard slightly denting them when folded down, the lockdown plate due to minor scratches, and maybe new invisiglass since the glass is original. It also comes with operation manual and repair guide with parts list.
While this machine is not a HEP or strictly HUO, it is about as nice as you will find for one that is not fully restored to new. It plays fast and looks great. It has been my favorite pin. I will happily help load it or will help NAVL get it to you. I will not crate it, though. I also have a HUO Simpsons Pinball Party that is perfect if there is interest. It is located in Auburn, IN. Please see link for a large collection of pictures.
