Gratz to both you guys with the TFTC machines! Put up a pic or two when you get a chance...maybe what you paid if it does not bother you to share that info I mean. That is one great pin!

Sounds like you are doing great in sorting this out and if Game Room Guys does the right thing that would be great! For us Pinsiders...can you do a small favor for us??? Get a flashlight and look inside the lower cabinet. I mean really look carefully for that small bushing and everything /anything else...please, pretty please If this story goes the way of the merchant saying, "It must have rattled off during shipping" it would be sad if not true. From what I remember reading, you paid top dollar for this pin. Little things are one thing but missing parts on a main game feature??? I bought a couple pins from a merchant called Barry and several forum folks were in a frenzy when I was missing a backglass lock and trim piece. All game functions were fine though Anyway, back to you...try to find evidence that this tombstone (mechanics) came apart after they shipped it Would help us all out down the road knowing if we should avoid a merchant like that!!!

Thanks and peace and best luck to you and the friendly folks here trying to help!

Newpinowner...hook him up ok? I am in Alabama on a bus trip and if I asked my wife to do it I think she would get confused (not her fault, I am the mechanic. Anyway, I think...think...my Tommy mirror uses the same mechanics? Again, I think. I just got to my hotel and logged in here...pretty tired...Charlotte NC connect flights were a mess. Anway, I think I remember TFTC and Tommy using the same stuff...just can't remember where I read it. Need to search (query) this tonight before bed. If true, I would be more than happy to snap any photo you need when I get back to Michigan on Sunday.

Peace and hang in there bud! All machines have quirks...you will be so happy once sorted out. Even new machines need to be sorted out. My bud bought a nib ac/dc premium...he had a cannon motor go out, no biggie...received a new one in a day and never even had to send the bad part back to Stern. Now he has a PF blemish/flaw (nickel size black spot). He is waiting for Stern to ship a fully populated PF to him to swap out himself

Sooooo...hang in there...you will be fine You will impress many visitors with that game! Hmmmm, you already know that though
