Finally picked up a tftc, it was routed and the cabinet is beat up pretty bad but the playfield is actually in really nice shape and it plays really well.

I have on order
Color dmd
Full set of cliffys
A new x pin power supply
Titan rubbers
Comet LEDs
Decal kit
And I’m sure some other odds and ends (was drunk and stoned shopping last night).

Are there any other “must have” mods for this game?

Fortunately the game came with the deflector mod. I just ordered the chipset.

Unfortunately I don’t have the clearance for a topper.

Someone needs to make neon slingshot protectors.

Well that worked out perfect.

I’m in the process of shopping my tftc and the wire is completely missing, I hadn’t thought much about it until your post so now I know how it works and I can easily copy your shape.

Thanks!

When rebuilding the VUK also keep in mind that there is a right and wrong way to put the smaller spring on.

The tighter part of the spring goes up and the open part of the spring goes on the coil side.

I usually go to the coin door.

Mine was doing the same thing so I rebuilt the whole assembly and put in a new coil sleeve and readjusted the switch and have had no issues since.

Keep in mind there is a right and wrong way to put the spring on the vuk and it needs all 3 of the spring clamps.

Other than those things make sure it isn’t binding on the habitrail and have your game leveled correctly.

My tftc really needs a new cabinet, can anybody here tell me if data east cabinets are the same as WPC or if another style that is currently produced will work?

That is the correct orientation.

Just put a dab of 3 in 1 oil on a q-tip or toothpick and rub it on the spinner shaft for super spin action.
