I just got a TFTC too on Sunday! My first pin. Love it so far, I'm sure you will too

I'm in the UK, I paid £950 for my machine, but that was including delivery and setup. Wouldn't have liked to try getting it in my house on my own!

Here's the only pic of mine I have to hand at the moment. No LEDs yet, still trying to decide whether I should make the switch or not.

I have been playing it pretty heavily this week and am not regretting purchasing it one bit. The layout is great, the rules seem like they will keep me occupied for a long time to come and the graphics and sound are really entertaining. The shaker suits the game really well too. I can see why some people would hate the sound fx and art, but you can't please everyone. I personally love both.

I bet you can't wait Acampero. Hope everything goes well for you.

I am also a big fan of the show and the books. I even dug out the DVD this week with the episode on where Cryptkeeper is playing the machine at the start! Here it is on youtube

Oh no, that's a shame to hear! I can take some pics for you, but not until tomorrow I'm afraid. Put a picture up if you can so I know exactly what you need to see.

I have the machine open now, but it's pretty hard to get a decent photo of the inside of the part. Mine looks slightly different to yours on top, looks like a cover is missing on yours or something. The insides are pretty simple though.

On my machine with working gravestone, I cannot move any of the pieces by hand. Either that or I'm not trying hard enough, but scared to do damage.

Here are a few photos - if they're not good enough then let me know and I'll try again, but all I have on hand is an iphone for pictures, and it's very hard to get a good angle on that piece..

Pinballdad you're right, Tommy seems to use the same mechanism too. See here - http://bayareaamusements.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=BAA&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=GS-TMY500-5742-01

I couldn't find any dismantled pics of the Tommy mirror either though unfortunately.

Any luck fixing it yet Acampero?

Damn, that's a shame it's not up and running properly yet! Hopefully it won't take too long to get everything sorted.

I found a thread that could possibly help.. It's in French, but the guy says his gravestone wasn't working, and he thought it was the motor, but he took it off and ran it separately and it worked fine. It looks like the problem he had was with the relay, so maybe check the input voltage.
