Quoted from Chalkey:

The diverter: there are only two things that could be loose and causing the diverter to hit the ramp. The first is the phillips head screw that holds the diverter flap in place. After removing the coil from the back panel you can access this straight on with a screwdriver. The shaft of the diverter is flat so you shouldn't have to do any alignment.
The other element is what holds the plunger linkage to the cam. It is a large female hex bolt on top and a phillips head screw on the bottom. There is a small flange on the bottom of the bolt that fills the hole in the linkage. If this part is loose the linkage may be holding the threads on the phillips screw. You *may* be able to tighten this with just the bolt but I think in most cases the phillips screw will turn with the bolt. To get them really tightened you either have to get the cam out which leaves you with a nightmare of having to get the spring back on the cam, or taking the backboard off and fastening the plunger with the cam in place. The backboard plastic can be removed with the front mounted wood screws. The backboard itself comes off by removing the four screws from the back of the backboard to detach it from the L brackets, the. 3 wood screws that fasten it directly to the playfield. All this talk makes me wish I took pictures while doing it. Sorry, my bad.
Was going to try to remove the van and called Stern who directed me to attack from the back. It was way easier to get the backboard off than I had imagined.

Quoted from Happy81724:

I see why people put members only for these forums. People are making negative statements and talking it down yet they have never owned or in some cases even played one

Quoted from billrz:

Has anyone successfully remedied the grinding pizza motor ? On the LE, it’s loud and sound pretty bad,can’t be good. Started after like 40 games or more.

Quoted from Happy81724:

All my keeper pins have voodoo glass (Invisiglass). It’s awesome

Quoted from PinMonk:

Yeah, "analog" is an important part of that spec sheet to pay attention to. Other than the aforementioned "cheap" I have no idea why Stern didn't go with a digital servo.

Quoted from Jakers:

For the people that have received new glider mechs (premium/LE) from Stern, how long did it take for you to get yours? I've been waiting 2 months at this point for my glider mech replacement. My distributor has called Stern multiple times asking for information but all they keep telling him is "we've confirmed your need of a replacement part".
My TMNT Premium has not been fully functional since I unboxed it day one. It's really frustrating.

Quoted from PinHead50:

I am the same, mines been down since the beginning of Sept and still no word. Only answer I get from stern is they are on backorder. Sucks to have to spend $30 on a brand new game to fix it but to me it was worth getting it to play properly and i guess i will have a whole new glider sitting in a box at some point.

Quoted from PinHead50:

It's not backwards, the gilder faces you so I would assume it would be opposite. If you are sitting in a car the drivers side is always the left side of the car no matter what direction its facing. So the gilder is facing you which means it would be opposite. Someone with a stock glider should be able to verify this. As for that servo you may have some issues down the road. The 422 you used has plastic gears and the stock one (and the replacement 645 I contacted Hi tech about) has metal. Not sure how that will play on the life of the one you installed but overall a great write up

Quoted from Aniraf:

FYI, I tried to contact ServoCity and have my motor modified...I got this response: "We only offer reprogramming on some servos. All the servos that can be reprogrammed are stated at the link below with the word (reprogrammed) next to its name. When you select one of those on the right hand side of the product page it will list what kind of reprogramming we can offer on that servo, and the cost of that."
It looks like I will either be finding a switcher or trying to switch the wiring on the motor like arcadenerd925 did.
I also found a few videos on reversing servos and it looks super easy. I'm not an RC guy, but I tend to wonder why they
don't just build them with a switch that let's you choose the direction.

Quoted from Jon9508:

Amazon has 2 metal 15 inch Sai's(looks to be the same ones) for 19.99. Free shipping with prime. Then buy a pair of Red shoe laces to wrap the handle with. So be a fairly cheap mod if you dyi.

Quoted from rockrand:

I see lots of them buy none have the extra handle that he uses to attach it to the ramp?

Quoted from Thunderbird:

Dark purple really adds to the overall look of the pro, imo. What a great playing game TMNT is in pro or Prem.

Quoted from Walk:

So I've played with this a bunch and still no success. Is there a cable I should double check or reseat?

Quoted from mikespins:

Ordered my first NIB pin, TMNT pro! Ordered it yesterday from CoinTaker. Melissa was super nice and very helpful. It comes next week, I can't wait!
I also created a FB group for us here https://www.facebook.com/groups/tmntpinball/

Quoted from TeamUp:

A grainy playfield may be the ticket for a decent priced game now with the 7k pro standard price coming into effect.
A tmnt pro with the LE grainy playfield sounds like a winner.
Peoe could be mobbing for that LE grainy playfield with these prices..I'll take one for 2k less shit...

Quoted from tkur85:

Anyone else having issues with left orbit. My ball more times than not when rolling up the left orbit sputters out and falls back. Not sure if its Playfield pitch issue or maybe the ball guide is not aligned properly?

Quoted from Wallofnoise:

Thought I'd share this mod for my TMNT pin Hooked up a tiny TV mod provided by CraZyMuffin along with miniature console, games and VHS tapes to my TMNT pin. Randomly plays various videos added to the USB of the entire first season of the cartoon, old toy commercials, footage of the TMNT games and more. It sits comfortably in the back left of the playfield near the van and catches everyone's eye when they come to play.

Quoted from Collin:

Frankly, I think they'd look good next to each other

Quoted from Pinbolls:

If someone that has done the servo replacement for the Glider, I would appreciate it if you could reach out. I installed a new servo, but it still isn't working. I watched the one video on YouTube that I could find, and followed the guide. It moves but when you push left it moves right. Also when it gets to an edge it keeps trying to move. I'm worried it's going to burn up the servo.

Quoted from Delta9:

Heres a pic of the wrap cut before I wrapped it its about a 1 to 1 1/2 inches on the inside of the leg if your super anal you could cut a strip and wrap the complete inside but for me this was sufficient im sure if your freind wraps for a living he shouldn’t have a problem ive never wrapped anything and i got it first try whats cool about wrap if you get a crinkle or air bubble no problem grab your heat gun its like magic any other questions id advise to watch YouTube videos but for what its worth I didn’t and still got it lol [quoted image]

Quoted from konghusker:

Thinking about selling my acdc premium and going with a tmnt premium or Jurassic park premium. Any thoughts on either, and also thoughts on tmnt pro vs prem?

Quoted from gumnut01:

It wasn’t there. Both cats loved peeking through the hole. That poor boy passed away 3 weeks ago. But the only photo I had of shredder was with Oscar. He was a brilliant cat. Cowabunga.

Quoted from Mahoyvan:

Man that looks great. Might be a good winter putter to go wrap a couple games!
What make model vinyl is that?
I need to do some searching on the topic

Quoted from pinballaddicted:

Game is an arse kicker. You get your arse kicked a lot. We have a LE and have had it since it was released. I love the game. I think once a fair few games have found loving homes, game will become like Ghostbusters. Love hate relationship. Most will love the game. A noisy few will hate the game

Quoted from PoMC:

Would you make the trade?
Guardians of the Galaxy Pro for TMNT Pro. Both stock, GoTG does not have insider connected.

Quoted from CurtisC:

Does anybody recall or know the stock LE powder coating color? I want to match my coin door and speaker panel and maybe wireforms.

Quoted from rockrand:

I still will never understand what raising the scores will do to improve the game,to me it’s meaningless and am so glad I don’t even notice them being low.enjoy!

Steve at pinball refinery will know.

Quoted from Roberto_tron:

I traded my Willy wonka for TMNT. I didn’t want to but I really did not like Wonka at all. Best trade I’ve ever made. This game is brutal and makes you work hard for a high score and also makes you better at spotting out lane ball losses. It definitely has made me a better player, I’ve only been playing pinball for a couple years now and it is my favourite game I’ve owned hands down.

Quoted from Xdetroit:

Not a bad idea Ill still have some work to do though
