TZ was my first pin, I still own it to this day. Learned about the clock board real quick and everything else about fixing and repairing pinball. Was a great first pin, because if you learn how to fix that one, you can fix pretty much all DMD's. Early SS is a whole new ball game and EM's are something totally different. You can't go wrong with TZ. It's pretty much a near flawless pinball machine. Toys, design and rules are fantastic.
Quoted from Miguel351:Wow, sounds like we bought the same pin at the same time. I've had my TZ for 2.5 weeks as well and have fixed the trough sensor, the lock ramp bounce-out issue, a weird sound board/DMD animation issue, and am now facing a prior owner's hack job on the coin door. But, like you, it's one of my grail pins, so I love it. My TZ plays very fast. So fast in fact that I've had some slot machine air balls fly from the target and hit the left wall, falling into the outlane, WITHOUT hitting the glass! The game's got some power!
Maybe someone put too high of flipper coils in there, because I never had a problem with airballs on mine.
