We just got a TFTC this month. I've been wanting one since I was a kid. It needs some work, which I may hit people on here up for questions but for now here are a few pictures of it... and one of a jacket I painted a few years back that I think people on here will appreciate.

Hi all. I have an issue that I am trying to sort out with my TFTC machine. A lot of the time the ball doesn't kick out into the shooter lane. You can hear it trying but it doesn't make it all the way. This can lead onto the machine trying to load another ball (which doesn't load properly because a ball is all ready in there) and the machine telling me a ball (or sometimes 6 balls) is missing. The wire on the switch (part 22 on page 50 in the manual) on my machine is a bit bent and I thought the first thing to try is swapping the switch to make sure it is not catching... only problem is I think the manual I have has the part number incorrectly labeled because it lists the part number the same for this switch as it does for the subminiature switches, even though they are different switches. Would anyone know the correct part number for this switch so I can order a new one?

We came across this at the Australian Pinball Museum the other week.
