TftC is one of my favorite machines. I hope to join the club real soon. If you know of anybody selling one in Texas please PM me. thanks!
Going to be joining the club this weekend! It's in great shape just no leds. I have seen it with leds and it looks amazing, but like some say, just wondering if it is too bright and hurts the eyes. also, if i do go with leds, what leds should i get, what color, where to place, etc.? thanks
Thanks guys, I'll post pics this weekend. I think I will put leds in it, just as long as it's not so bright it hurts my eyes, like newpinowner said i'll just have to experiment.
Has anybody tried this LED kit? http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/05-1769
If so, thoughts, pictures? thanks.
Quoted from Piparoo:I've not used it but that looks pretty nice and I've gotten really fast shipping from Marco in the past. If you're wanting to go the kit route I think that one would work well. Have you checked out cointaker's kits? With the pinside discount there you might end up getting a kit for a little less than at Marco.
How do you get the discount?
Quoted from brightonrock:You can get the kit from Coin Taker as well. I designed the kit for them a few years go.
BR
I just spoke to Melissa at cointaker. Im going to get the kit there. Now I know who to blame if I dont like it. Just kidding! Do you have pics or video?
Quoted from E_N_3:I used a red in the shooter lane, as it gave it an eerie look and matched the red in the plastic by the ball launcher nicely.
I also put LEDs in the coin door buttons.
top LEFT= normal bulb, top RIGHT=LED bulb, BOTTOM= side-by-side (Regular bulb on left, LED on right)
That red looks sweet, I'll have to do that to mine. Thanks for all the pics
Quoted from NickRocco:Doing a litlle custom painting on the lock down bar, side rails and legs. Still have some work to do along with clear coat.
Omg! I want!!!! That is super sweet man! Awesome job!!
First if many questions....where do I buy a dmd glare stop for tftc? I can't see the back of the play field
Quoted from UCSBrandon:That's an awesome card. I'm a big fan of the old EC comics. Do you remember were you yanked it from, would love to print that out for mine!
I just googled Tales from the Crypt, clicked on images, and found this one. I copied it into Word so I could shrink it to the exact size. Glad you like it!
Can someone please tell me where i can buy the posts for the ramp gates, i don't know what size or anything, thanks!
Quoted from Prosedsp:I am pretty sure this is what you are looking for. You will need to order the hex space as well.

Thank you. Can you tell me what the hex space is? I appreciate the help!
I have blue leds on hand but i kept my tftc non leds. I think I may stay with red also. I was going to order green from marco but if i order more than one it says out of stock. That's why i was asking about blue since they are in stock.
Hey guys i have a couple questions for you.
First, are the crypt jam lights supposed to come on during attract mode or any mode during game play (besides crypt jam which I will never get)? Because those two lights never come on for me.
Second, all the backglass lights come on during gameplay, but in attract mode it's like the top half are completely out. The top lights do come on during gameplay though. I see pictures of the backglass with all lights on and mine doesn't ever do that. It's like the top half bulbs only flash on during gameplay. Are all the lights supposed to be on in the backglass during attract mode?
thanks!
found the problem with the backglass bulbs, had a loose connection at the PPB board.
The Crypt Jam lights.....do they come on during attract mode or any game mode?
Quoted from renodakota:Hey guys I am having some problems with my TFTC I blew one of the big white 10w3ohm+/-10% and I can not figure out where to get a replacement. Any help would be appreciated.
Quoted from Tsskinne:currently has white rubber thinking but doing black any recommendations?
I have black on the bumpers, red for the two bottom flippers and translucent green for the upper one. White just doesn't look right on tftc in my opinion.
How did you get the eye attached to the ramp led, that looks cool!
Anybody got an extra eye or two they can send me?
Quoted from Pinballfantexas:Mate when you get there its awesome and I have only made it there twice. I consider TFTC the TZ of DE games when it comes to modes.
Did u have it on 3 balls when u got crypt jam?
If anybody is ordering the plastics and doesn't need the right side plastic over the PER eyeballs, PM me, mine just broke
Quoted from Spencer:Thats the one I need too! ( id buy a used one from somebody )
I'd buy a used one too!
Quoted from MustangPaul:You must have really nailed it with the ball. Do you think a homemade plastic protector would have helped?
Maybe, it's the only plastic I've broken except the plastic directly behind the drop targets. Not the top one, but the middle one. I made my own, now that one is broke. I gotta make some more when I get back to work next week.
Still looking for the PER plastic piece though if anyone has one new or used as long as it's not broken.
Quoted from NPO:I have ordered a new set and may be willing to let go of my old one - can you take a picture of the one you're talking about please? Right off hand, I don't recall which one you're referring to.
I'll add a picture as soon as I can, the add image/files to post is disabled at the moment.....
But it's the piece above the PER drop targets. The picture on it is just of gray bricks. I'll post pic as soon as it lets me. Thanks!
Quoted from NPO:Email received lastnight - plastics on the way!
Oh ok the eyeball PER targets - got it. Yeah, I should be able to send it to you once I install my new one.
Cool, thanks! PM sent
Kevin, so what you are saying is that the new repro set pieces are made of the same stuff as a protector? If the new set you guys just made will not break, then I will buy one. My fear is that I buy the set, then have one single piece break, and then be out of luck again.
Quoted from NPO:Just got mine in yesterday. Will get the old one out that I promised Pinhead76 hopefully this weekend.
I was just about to send you a PM asking how you like the new ones. You sir, are awesome! Thanks!
