Hi,

I'm going to be taking a look at a TZ soon - I'm not familiar with the machine and was hoping any owners could point out possible gotchas specific to this machine - in particular any commonly broken or expensive bits to replace.

What should I be checking?

TIA
Richard

Thanks guys, much appreciated, I shall report back in a day or two, hopefully with a new toy for the collection...

ok it's going to need some work (you know the ones where they say "yeh everything works"). It's one of those machines that's been played for a long time with no maintenance, maybe 30% of the lights left working (leds on order), right middle flipper sticking, top left flipper not working at all. Various tatty bits. Much like the last one I bought..... I never learn.

There's no red left on the side to fade , but on the flip side, the playfield looks fairly unbattered and couldn't see any mylar. Clock and gumball working.

But TBH I far more enjoyed fixing up my last one than I did playing it, so as of tomorrow I have something to keep my weekend occupied for a while now. I might do pics this time...

I think I paid too much for it, but they don't seem to come up often...
