Hey Everyone Im a Proud Owner of a Twilight Zone! My 1st Pinball Machine! I Went All Out Figured My 1st Pin Should Be a Great Title. I Cant Wait to Mod it After A Good Shopping Out. I Do Have One Question For Some Of You Pinball Veterans, On My TZ I Cant Adjust my Volume Down Past 8? I am Wondering If This Normal?
"gweempose. I bet you forgot to update your collection????"
If all goes as planned, my two latest acquisitions should be arriving tomorrow. I never update my collection until the pins are actually in my home. Don't want to jinx anything. 
Lol Insane I Think Already Know My Next Pin I Want to Buy, I am Thinking LOTR. Anyone have tips for cleaning a Smokey Machine... Smells/Looks Like My TZ was Deep in the Bowels of a Bar... Mean Greened Bath The Outside of the Cabinet and Sprayed a Bleach Mixture Lightly in The Cabinet and Cleaned with a Sponge... Unfort The Plastic Have Yellow From what I Believe would Be Smoke/Nicotine Staining... If Anyone Has Advice on Machines with This Condition Let Me Know Ive Done Some Reading but Maybe Someone Knows Some Inside Info =)
Welcome to the forum and congrats on your purchase.
I would also put baking soda inside the cabinet.
Novus1 is what you need to get to clean your pin. Do not use paper towels as they will scratch your plastics. Use microfiber towels from an auto parts store.
Chamois cloth. You really can't go wrong, its not that expensive, and you can find them at just about any auto store like Sealclubber said. Works great on playfields during cleanings, and doesn't leave hairs behind like normal cloth towels.
I got a ton of them at a Pep Boys store, and got a free car wash bucket to boot (I use the bucket to catch my used cloths after a pin cleaning). I also throw my other pinball cleaning materials in there too (Novus, Q-Tips/cotton swabs, Turtle Wax paste, Windex, etc).
So I Am Online Looking at Some of the Pin Part Ordering Sites You Guys Recommend And I Want to Buy Everything.... ATM I Need To Get Some Molex Connectors Not Sure What Size I Need Either .93 .100 or .156 to Repin Some Connectors. Also Maybe a New Clear Plastic Set for Only 20$ Sounds Like a Deal... Plus Mine Are "Funky". A Yellow Lane Divider One Is Broken. And A New Edy Cable For Switch 26 =). Also A New Mylar Set For the Jet Bumpers and Stuff Once I Shop My Pin Out. BUT I Also Want Some Fuses Some Back Up Lights, New Leg Bolts a Rubber Kit (Not Sure If I Need It?) And The Tool To Repin Connectors. I'm Going Get New Balls But I Can Get Some Free Ones, I Know You Can Use 1' 1/16th Bearings and My Father is a Engineer So He Said He Will Order a Bunch For Me (You Guys Think Bearings Are Ok?) Also Like New Legs and Possibly Leg Tee Plates... I'm Going to Re Tap My Current Ones. Wall O Text Sorry You Guys

Well Robin wants the site PG-13 ... so IMHO that is:
1. No exposed nipples
2. No genitals
OK=
Side boobs
Butts (with nothing showing but cheeks)
WindWalker, TZ was my second pin. Got it in early 2010. I hope you have plenty of room available--they tend to multiply quickly! My 6th should arrive next week! Welcome to pinside!

Ah, the dreaded switch 26. This is the sensor that detects if the next ball in the trough is the powerball. This switch can be a real pain in the ass. After working great for a long time, mine has recently started acting up again. I'm thinking about buying a brand new proximity board.
So I Bought a Bunch Of Goodies For My Pin! 115$ Worth =) Cant Wait Till It Comes In. Yeah Gweempose I Went With a New Board Figured For a Quick Fix Hopefully Wont Ever Have To Deal With It Again. Now My Only Issue With My Pin Is The Reset and I am Confident I Can Work That One Out. I Am Also Addicted to This Site @.@ Best Community Ever!
