Loving this pin and the new code!
Could anyone point me in the direction of any different music choices? I realize Dutch pinball doesn’t support it, but I thought there might be someone out there that has some options for uploading some new tunes.
Thanks!

Greetings Dudes!
Sorry to write a novel here, but wanted to share my experiences with TBL, as I have owned the pin for just over 2 months and have played it almost non-stop.
First off, I think the pin is a true masterpiece. I’ve been lucky enough to own most every pin up and down the top 100 list and this is by far my favorite. I’ll be rating it soon. Never want to rank a game too early.
Aside from that, being able to email tech support, Rens, and get an answer almost immediately is truly incredible.
Tech notes and suggestions:
Broke a bowling pin very early own. Previous owner had extra pins and I found replacing the broken one to be a simple process. While fixing the broken pin, I also added the “spacers” to the pins. No broken pins since. Follow the manual but all you’ll need are left over pinball rings that we all have laying around.
Removing the metal bracket by the VUK on the Jesus shot is a must. Follow the manual and lift the mini PF and remove. I was having way too many rejects on that shot. Now, none. Mine is number 602 and I believe they stopped putting that metal bracket in there not too long after mine was built.
I have my pitch very shallow. Maybe 6.2/6.3 range. I normally like a steeper pitch (6.6-7.0) but on this pin I like back handing the Jesus shot and the left ramp.
I spent $9 to upgrade the 9 foot connector going from the back box to under the PF. My game would freeze up (no switches would work). The tech manual (around page 68 or so) talks about this. I would highly recommend updating to the right angle connector that is listed. Haven’t had any freeze ups since.
Upgraded music is a must. I smile ear to ear playing this game while Pinball Wizard or the Gambler is playing. JYEAKLEY is the man!!
Highly recommend the black star art blades from Tilt. They look awesome installed.
Got the Laserific topper. Gutter balls. Looks awesome.
Still kicking around the lit apron. On the fence.
Other than that, absolutely loving this pin!

No worries. They are basically stickers that line the walls of your pinball and look incredible.
I’ve done enough now where I do it myself by hand. They are nice to work with, meaning you can stick and un-stick a few times if needed. For TBL, you’ve got the back box hinge bolt towards the back on each side, so start with that spot (hole) and work forward. Just how I prefer to install them.
Good Luck and Enjoy!

TBL sitting next to RNM.

I like your style dude!

Oh man, had six strikes to start my bowling scorecard (no free strikes from a mystery award). Man I wish I could have finished ten frames.
What’s everyone’s high bowling score on code 1.0?

Finally finished a game of bowling on code 1.0

I’ll take a 205.

Would it be lame if I set up a thread for us dudes to keep track of our high bowling scores?

In my humble opinion, it’s the best pin I’ve ever owned. Nothing really compares to a dialed in TBL.

I have TBL serial number 606 and have playfield date that matches above (Micro 16062021). I have played mine a ton in a home use environment and have zero play field issues like others are showing. Feel awful for those with that issue. Should I add those washers while mine still looks perfect?

Check that. I am TBL 602 not 606. Everything else I posted was accurate.

With the glass off, I cannot see any pooling around my posts. None. My PF looks brand new still. I have roughly 300 plays since updating Yeakley music roughly a month ago, and am confident I had well over 800 plays before that.
This sure is a bummer and I would be disappointed if I was impacted. However, my hope is that this is an isolated issue/random.
For some that are questioning their TBL order, I can appreciate that. But, I personally wouldn’t let that hold me back. TBL is such a masterpiece and the tech support has been second to none.

Mine did this until I found this discussed in the FAQ part of the manual (thanks for Rensh’s help). If you flip up the PF and go to the main power cord (black in color). Pics shown to describe what I am talking about.
I replaced the original connector with a right angle connector and added a drop of hot glue. No more freezing up, getting lost. Does your connector have a right angle or is it the original connector?
Hope this helps.

I like how your connector looks under the PF.
Be sure to check the other end of that connector, behind the back glass. When my machine was doing what you’re describing, it all came down to this connection.
Good Luck!
