Been in the club a little while now and thought it a good idea to share my baby, T2 will always be my number 1 machine as it is the first real pinball I ever played and the current one I have is a keeper. If I had to sell all my games this would be the last to leave:
With Thiago's excellent topper...
And in the lineup:
And a little gameplay vid, pinsound really makes this game sound incredible:
Quoted from nicknack66:I am suddenly having an issue with my T2 where it sometimes shoots a second ball while playing (usually shortly after I fire the ball onto the playfield). It doesn't happen all the time, but regularly enough that it's annoying. It doesn't appear related to the "auto fire" since the game doesn't announce that when it shoots the extra ball onto the playfield (and the autofire still works correctly meaning if I quickly drain the ball it does say auto-fire and shoots another ball onto the playfield). Anyone have this happened to them? Also, not sure if it's related but I looked at the wiring to the switch in the ball trough (thinking maybe it is this switch that is acting up) and on the left yellow wire in the middle is this silver "blob." The blog is just floating so I was wondering if it should be attached to something else and if that could be causing the issue. Here is a photo of the wiring with the blob (circled in green). Thanks for any ideas/suggestions.
Check the trough switches in test, sounds like one of them might have cracked solder which would be causing this issue. The first thing I'd do is attempt to reflow the solder on all the trough switches to eliminate this and see if it persists.
Quoted from Fezmid:I have this problem too. It only happens probably once every 15-20 games, so I've never looked into it. Thanks to Archytas, I will probably try to do that (I need practice soldering) in the near future.
No problem - it comes from experience. I had a T3 where this happened often (ball fired a few seconds after the first sometimes during play). The flakey solder on the trough switches was not causing it not to register properly and thus firing a second ball out. Re-flowing the solder fixed this issue.
Quoted from jmountjoy111:No. I sold one a month ago for over $3000. I have a friend who sold two last year, each for $3200. No bubble bursting here I’m afraid
I wouldn’t let my current one go for $2500 and I haven’t even gone through it yet
Left the club a few months ago, sold mine for around $3200. When I started looking a similar example game would be around $1500 but that was six years ago...
Quoted from jmountjoy111:For sure. T2 and all other pins are not declining in value. Nice condition T2 machines are closing in on $3k. Of course there are lot of these with blown out playfield which lowers the price significantly. It would be nice if all pins would go back to being cheap again but I doubt it happens any time soon
The one I had possessed a very nice original playfield and the cabinet was in good condition as well (despite being a popular game the site use this one had gotten seemed to be very minimal, it was a re-import from the Netherlands I think as it had coinage from before they entered Europe on the coin door). It had some nice mods (colour DMD, topper, mirror blades, LED's etc) but I didn't let this really factor into my asking price. I was just going by market value and what the buyer was willing to pay. Previously someone had sold one some months back for around $3000 and mine was in nicer condition cosmetically. It was my grail machine but I owned it for roughly 3 years and had my fill of it, someone else is enjoying it now. I would not buy another at the price I sold it for.
