Hey guys new memberof the Tommy club. My all time favorite band combined with a well thought out game that's a lot of fun to play. What's not to like. I have a question posted in the general forum but thought this may give me some more direct answers. I bought new legs for my game (4 x 28.5" legs as it states in the manual). I can't get my playfield to pitch steeper than 5.6 degrees. So my question is, do you guys have longer legs on the back of your games? My next move is to buy two 30.5" legs for the back to get the pitch up, but was ineterested to see how everyone's games are set up in here.

Quoted from Number41:

My game has 4 x 28.5" legs as you mentioned - that's how it came from the factory as well. The leg levelers have 3" shafts (with bolts) with the front legs set low as they can go and the back legs almost as high as they can go (maybe less than a 1/2" of shaft to spare). This gets the angle to 6.5 degrees. Hope that helps!

Hmmm... that's how I have it set up. 3" levelers all the way down in the front, all the way up in the back. Thanks for checking.

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like Marco sells single legs so I'll grab some longer ones for the back. Just really interesting that there are so many out there (Data East machines in general) with the same sized legs all around.

Quoted from LOTR_breath:

I recall playing a Tommy at PAPA several years ago. The front castors were screwed all the way in, the rear castors were screwed all the way out and it was floaty as hell. It was like they could not get a decent pitch on it with the legs maxed out. I wonder if there were variations in the cabinet's leg bolt locations?

I'm starting to think this is the case. I put the original legs back on that came with my game and with the back legs dimed, it was still barely 5.7 degrees. These legs were ratty too, so I'd imagine they'd been on there for a while. Surprised this hasn't been addressed before.

Quoted from Number41:

Maybe this will help unravel the mystery - on my game the front lower bolt holes are roughly 3" up from the bottom of the cabinet and the back lower bolt holes are roughly 1" up from the bottom, so the hole height is offset to fit all equal 28.5" length legs.

You may hold the keys to the kingdom. Mine are more like 3" and 1.5" which would make the rear sit a bit lower than yours. I would be willing to bet .5" would give you (me) almost one degree of tilt. I think we can file this mystery in the solved folder for now. Thanks to all contributors and sorry for gumming up the thread. It really is a fantastic game (color DMD is a great add) and I love the gameplay, I just get hung up on these things sometimes. Now .....about that 5.0 code....

Quoted from gjm:

Here ares some pictures of my "TOMMY" with an alternative backglass. It is a real backglass, not a translite. That, with my pinsound card with the real "WHO" singing makes this pin a long time keeper.

Where did you get that backglass? That's fantastic!

I like the Live at Leads versions but they might blow up the machine.
