Anyone have a remedy or similar problem with getting tales to have a 6 degree pitch withave 28 inch legs? Max stroke I'm barely 6 degrees
Quoted from pinmister:Has anyone changed out their flipper coils to a higher power for their TFTC? I feel like I need more cow bell for getting the ball to clear both the left and right ramps consistently. If I have the ball in a cradle on right flipper and try to clear the left ramp it does not have enough momentum to get to the top. I have tried rebuilding the flippers, increased the coil power in additional settings, and played around with the leaf switches. I even tried to lower the pitch of the playfield and it did not help much. I need more juice any suggestions?
Might sound silly but try super bands. Seems to give it more grip and push consistentlyrics. Also make sure your gates aren't on a bind slowing the ball down

Looks good but colors don't seem vibrant
Quoted from MustangPaul:Looks like you could use my Leg Light-Ups to put some light on the coindoor side.

Quoted from Zombreebot:Has been awhile since I posted so forgive me if this is in the wrong place. Am having an issue with my TFTC. During play it will randomly eject balls into the shooter lane, sometimes 2 or more at a time will stack in there, and then it will auto fire them. The extra ball light stays lit also, the one right in between the flippers, for almost the entire game. Any ideas on what I should check or replace? Thanks!
Sounds like a trough switch is showing to many balls. Also your chopping captive ball switch could be stuck. It puts balls into play and gives extra balls. Have you ran a switch test

Quoted from E_N_3:Two questions:
1) are those apron cards lit up?
2) is that the book from the Halloween crypt keeper that holds a candle? If so, how did you mount it? I would love to see more pics of it!
Yea the cards are lit up you can. Get then at pinball center. I'll get more pictures soon

Quoted from PoMC:How can you even see the ball when it's in the upper half of the playfield? The glare from all the backbox LEDs and the speaker LEDs is off the charts. I remember getting my TFTC and the prior owner had put all bright white LEDs in the backbox and the glare prevented me from even seeing the ball when it was up in the pops.
You'd have to see it in person. Pictures make it worse. Absolutely no issues nor has anyone every complained. Leds aren't for everyone

Quoted from ImNotNorm:My plastic set arrived yesterday and I checked it over this afternoon.
I'm assuming they come with a protective film/paper on both sides that needs to be removed before installation?
Where did you get the cpr set
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I know I've been posting a lot lately....but I just wanted to thank jakers again for the air ball guard. That thing works great & there haven't been ANY air balls since installation a few weeks ago. Quite the dramatic change from before when the ball was catching some serious air.
Also....
The wife has a wicked habit of putting 3+ balls into the super VUK at the same time....causing it to have a real hard time spitting the balls back onto the playfield. I ask her how she is the only one who manages to be able to do this & her reply is "it's not my fault my shots are accurate."
If there's two balls the VUK can handle it....sometime three....sometimes. But anything more than three balls and it struggles.
I just want to know if this is an issue for others?
Agreed it makes the game play alot better and consistent. Zero air balls

Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:anybody doing any powdercoating on their machine, trying to figure out some good coloring for the ramps. thinking ill go with the slime green for legs,lockdown, etc.
Doing powdercoat I can suggest you do the wireforms but not the ramps. They wont hold up over time but you by all means can. Heres some work I've done. Hit me up if youd like to coat your game

I did mine in green that glows in the dark and was going to do the black cabinet with custom artwork but I dont have time. Can I suggest doing a rustic bronze finish that matches the door handle?
Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:I like that idea Robert, that would look killer
Hit me up we can do it
