Looks fun. Good luck.

#3 9 years ago

Been looking for one of these as a project myself, have fun and I'll be watching for progress updates.

#4 9 years ago

Looks like the mini-pf was taken off and not completely reinstalled and missing rails from right ramp to mini-pf and the clock. But looks like it will clean up nicely otherwise. Is it functional (minus the obvious errors for missing parts)?

Might have a flipper issue as well!

I have the mini playfield,clock lamp rails ect and other parts for it too just needs to be installed. Yes it boot up ect too

#7 9 years ago

Also got some new boards with it too and all new art work too.

#8 9 years ago

The major thing that I see it the diverter and bridge are missing.

The clock motor might be a bit hard to find, but all the other parts are available.

Good luck! I was wondering when someone was going to get that one going. If you're patient, most of the parts missing should surface.

#11 9 years ago

Great luck with the project. Not sure if you have ever owned TZ before, but it will be worth the wait. I have owned it for about 13 years and still love it today.

Help on figuring out what kind of post i'm missing for mini play field see pic of hole im talking about.

I believe it is the post with the spring and nut used to level the mini playfield. I will look at mine later and see if i can come up with a part number if someone doesn't answer by then.

#14 9 years ago

It doesn't show the part number but you could likely build something to suit if needed.

So what would I need to do it like yours ? Also what about the sensor board bracket ? Thx for your help

#16 9 years ago

Which sensor board? The one that goes over the main subway or the trough proximity?

The subway just uses hex posts. The trough bracket is available for purchase.

#17 9 years ago

I think that post is 02-4425-1. You put a rubber bumper, 23-6535, on the bottom.

I'm not sure about the spring that is used to level the mini playfield. 10-453 comes up when I search Marco for "Twilight Zone Spring", and it looks right. I'm not sure about the size.

#18 9 years ago

Thx for the help guys and it's proximity sensor boards

#19 9 years ago

Started to clean up cab under play field is dirty

Were does this double power cable go ?

#21 9 years ago

i'm working on the same kind of game, a TZ project...just acquired most of the parts,

I'm wondering the function of the above connector as well, though i notice it's around the upper right side of the backbox.

2 weeks later
#22 9 years ago

Need some input i got all boards in tz and when i try to boot up and on the dmd it flashes between factor setting and coin setting ? Would not having a coin wire harness from interface board to back box cause that ?

#23 9 years ago

not having batteries would cause that, no memory

lol if thats it i feel stupid lol ill try that later

#25 9 years ago

Your project reminds me of my TZ project. Boy that was a lot of work, but I look back proudly at my ability to get it done. It was a sample game that had been used as a parts machine and was missing a LOT of things. Luckily I found a guy in New Zealand parting out a machine, so it was pretty much one-stop shopping. At some point you may find out why a machine was turned into a "parts machine"; mine was a data ribbon cable connector that was slightly off center and a ground wire was grounding out the active wire, took a lot of patience and sorting through the schematics, something the arcade was unwilling or unable to do I guess. I guess I know why they took out the third magnet for TZ, if you are considering installing that option now is the time to do it, but there is no big payoff there, you'll see it used very little in gameplay, its no big deal. The sample game did have a couple of posts with rubber ring between the left lower pop bumpers, that was nice, keeps the ball from draining.

My TZ restoration took a year or so hiatus due to board compatibility frustration. I bought the rottendog boards, all they made for TZ. So I could have new clean matching boards in backbox. I was going for CQ resto. Took a bad turn when flipper power was weak 50v instead of 70v @ coils, then CPU blew 12 volts fuse . I got sickened over all the work I had to diagnose cuz the boards were not qc'ed.

Now I got boards coming from Germany. (Pinled). Lesson learned. Gonna pop the boards in and hopefully done.

Was fun swapping pf's and restoring the cab, washing the harnesses, etc. next is my IJ.
