Hey TmC. Leuke kast de Tales From The Cript

Tales From The Cript is getting populair in the Netherlands.

I tried to read everything and i could suggest a couple of things.
If you are going to clean the machine put all nuts and bolts in to a tubler (you could borrow mine if you life nearby).
An TFTC without burned connectors is almost impossible. And some damage at the scoop is not more then normal.

The Data-East machines can be equipped with a FM-1608 Ferroram availble at Pinballparts.nl of flipperwinkel.nl. You can than remove your batteries and never have to worry about that again.

An other "problem" with Data East pinballs is the CN1 connector on the powersupply.
If you are having troubles with game-restarts this is the place to check.

Thats what i forgot...

The BUZZ is pretty normal on DE flippers. There is not much to do about it.

Dear TmC

I live in Weesp so its a half hour drive. I am coming to the Koog somewhare in Januari. You can barrow my tumbler that is no problem. Yust have to figuere out how we get it to your place. The lampfittings are repairable with some patiance and a fiberglass pen. We have only 2 real shops in the Netherlands. Thank god we have the Flipperwinkel. He realy has a lot on stock! But there are a lot of pinball lovers all over the Netherlands, you just have to know whare to find them. If you want to meet some more pinball lovers you could get a subscripton at the Nederlandse Flipper Vereniging. With over 1000 members it's a realy big community. 2 friends of mine als have a Tftc pinball. I am a new mechanic of the NFV. If you realy like pinball (of all generatoins) you should come by in Ederveen whare the Funhouse is. 80 Pinballs machines awaite you

I use the Turtle wax (but dont put is on your post, the best way is to remove all parts from your playfield) the stuff in a little jar. not the liquid one. You can use Superflipp on your playfield. But Tftc is alraidy a realy fast machine. Putting superflip on your playfield would make it somewhat un playable....

How about an other eyeball
