Got a weird issue on the Tommy I'm working on for a friend. When in attract mode, pushing the flipper buttons triggers coils.

Left button: first the through upkicker fires, after that the autoshooter fires.
Right button: the autoshooter fires.

Noticed that they do share a wire, purple-orange.

Anyone got a clue?

SOLVED! The issue was a weird one haha.
The left ramp entry switch was stuck on because it was held by 2 (too tiny) nails instead of 2 screws.
With all 6 balls in the through while the left ramp entry was activated, pushing the flipper buttons sent the game into a state that should not be possible: no balls in play, yet switches are activated.

Ones I took the nails out of the switch and put the correct screws in, the issue was solved. Don't ask me how long it took to find the solution JStoltz your comments got me to find the issue, thank you very much! The left ramp entry is in the same column as the left and right flipper haha.

If you know what type of bomber it's based on, you might be able to find a file you could use online.

Bought the Tommy Propeller Mod from TheDudeMods / BigLebowski for my friends Tommy, and it is looking great! Installation was easy with the added instruction manual with photo's. Think it cost me 5/10 minutes or so.

Added a 4 smd spotlight in the center also.

Great recommendation! Unfortunately the game is not mine, otherwise I would've put some neat propellers in

The blinder on a friends Tommy really struggles to open and close. Any adjustments to open/close it with more power? The blinders are a 3D printed repro, guessing part of the problem lies there or the mechanism is missing a part or two.

Any advice? Thanks!

Good question!
Think I took it out of a WMS Indiana Jones ledkit from led4pin (in the Netherlands) once but not 100% sure Leds were too bright for my liking in the game.
You can order 4smd leds everywhere, but if you live in the USA: I hear great things about Comet Pinball.
