First NIB arrived today. Was a long day as it came at 9am and I couldn't get help to install it until 7pm tonight and I couldn't convince the delivery driver to help me bring the box in the house. Best I could get was the garage.

Man alive, this is a great feeling. I hope it's not the last time I get to do this but this was the most fun I've had in years. I got a few games on it tonight but will need to update the software tomm as it has 1.2 right now. Spent most the night trying to dial it in and putting a nice coat of carnauba wax on it. This thing is beautiful

Took some pics of my new line up and got to thinking. I must have the weirdest group of pins out there. TFLE, BOP, Batman DE and a hyperpin. LOL.

Pic in the garage, of my lovely wife that got this for my birthday present and a few in the house.

One thing... I was very suprised to have such a low production number. I was so expecting to have 490 somthing so it was pretty cool to have #33.

I have the FF speackers on my TF Decepticon and it makes that thing ROCK! Like you say, it brings the sounds and music right at you. Great upgrade. I ordered a set for my TZ.

Only a +100; speaker upgrades in TF should be +1000000000000000 haha just messing

But seriously, this is your brain with Blackout on stock speakers; "puht puht puht puht puht puht"
This is your brain with Blackout on flipper fidelity speakers; "CH CH CH CH CH CH CH CH (ROOM SHAKING, HAIR RAISING, ADRENALIN PUMPING, TURN THAT VOLUME TO 50+ AND LET YOUR BRAIN SOOTHE IN AN ORGASM OF SOUNDS, BLOOD RUSHING, HEART POUNDING EXPERIENCE)" oh and the other modes are cool too.

Think about tying open the mini play field gate. It improves the flow dramatically.

You just zip tie it open?

Yea zip tie if you don't want to mess with the hardware. But it still obstructs normal ramp shots and looks ugly. I much more recommend taking the whole gate assembly off. It's easy and looks and plays WAY better.

I swear B_R, sometimes you just crack me up. Not sure who that is but it's not me. Here's a pic of me with the box to help ring a bell.

Speakers - That and invisiglass is being saved up for as we speak. The stock speakers or kind of lame. Never realized it until playing this one with stockers.

Gate - I actually like the little lag. Maybe I'll grow bored of it and will change it but it's an easy fix

Thanks everyone. Super stoked today. Going to upgrade the software and play the snot out of it today.

Please share any and all tips. I'm new to this aspect of the world and am just guessing now. I appreciate any and all feedback in dialing in a pin.

I actually built it myself from scratch and did the decals with help from a guy on another forum. I send you a link to my build blog when I get home later. It was a blast to build and I truely get a lot of fun out of it. Some hate them while others love then. It's one of those things that gets a lot of discussion

Thank you sir!

Hwawonyu - if you'd like more info just let me know. High level is you are looking at about $2K-$4500 depending on what you put in it and the level of TV's, CPU, etc. You get what you pay for when building these so keep that in mind. If you want to buy one they are about $6K and come with no tables loaded so I highly recommend getting dirty a bit and building one. Several around can help if when you get stuck.

First night of getting to play my TF and I think my wife just stole it from me. She barely touched the other 3 pins and with this one she wont even let me get a play in. So fun to watch her get excited about a pinball machine. We were going to go to dinner and I swear she said, "just one more game" at least 5 times

Overall I'm very happy with the purchase. I need to put some cushion in the allspark hole as most shots there bounce back out but outside of that no to do items in order to make game play better. If you have any tips or tricks to dial in this pin the best I'm all ears so please share.

Also, did Gomez sign all 500 of the combo's? I couldn't remember but I'm guessing I got lucky as my signature is perfect on the playfield. It's centered nicely.
