Quoted from freakandgeek:Sample means in a lot in this game. There are many differences and third magnet in not an easy thing to retrofit in. Add in that it is possibly the best game of all time and there are only 200 samples I think it means plenty on this title.
Wow you better slow the truck down there dude. Coyote is the absolute mint standard reference for TZ, perhaps other than the guys who actually designed it.
Quoted from freakandgeek:Ok I will bow down to Coyote. Haha. Do note that I have owned at least five Twilight Zones, wrote & published a book about Pinball (https://amzn.to/2UGiuXG), and founded GameRoomBlog.com. I have been collecting for over 20 years and am not some newb.
Of course condition is important. But that was not really the question — as the game is in great shape.
Wow. Here’s your douche card.
Quoted from freakandgeek:I was hoping to get some actual insights but instead have gotten jokes about the 65K game, basic newbie advice "condition means everything", told that the game with probably the most sample differences vs production really is no big deal, and have been called a douche.
But I am the bad guy...
You will have to start somewhere. 10K is probably too high, but it wouldn’t hurt to start higher just to see. This isn’t real estate.
It will sit, though - just be patient. many of the guys who are really into The samples (ie your target buyers) are already posting here.
Quoted from Coyote:They weren't, unless you got a very, very early sample. (This would include sample games that had a 19-light Door Board with spaces for *all four* flashers.)
Since all the work is there, it's not difficult to do (already have two 7x opto boards, may have the 6th spot populated in the 8-drive high-power baord) - just buy optos, a magnet, and voila!
Not even some of those had the magnet plugged in
Quoted from Magicchiz:True Sample, All Modded up and in great condition are hard to come by for sale. most are in a collection like this one. Condition and working third magnet is everything.

Another IGP topper.. argh! Looks beautiful
Quoted from bladerunner:I just sold my IGT Topper this year. It took me a long time to find one but got one 5 years ago. But the TiltTopper TZ Topper is something else (best Topper ever in my book). That is why I sold the IGT one that I had looked so hard to find.
I’ll check that out!
I'll sell mine! Pristine example, white door, fully working 3rd magnet, stars-cut translite, decal over "spiral", original gumball sign saying "collect next spiral when lit, green lock insert, prototype coloring on playfield. Soundtrack selectable between original release or DCS mix with actual Rod Serling / Talky Tina / Hitchhiker callouts! Bidding starts at $35K!
