I've had at least four 1993/1994 DE games and everyone I replaced the cabinet sub with a Pinball Pro or Flipper Fidelity. It made a big difference to my ears. The backbox speakers are fine (unless they are ripped or beat up). You definitely have to adjust the crossovers when you install the new sub, but its a great addition for not much money.

I never tried an external sub on my Tommy, but I've used them on other games. If you want really punchy bass pick up one of those polk external subs that are on sale at amazon now for about the same cost as replacing your internal cab speaker.

Amazing journey starts playing at the first jackpot during TOMMY multiball. Hit the lit ramp during multiball and it starts playing until the multiball is over.

Its funny, as a WHO fan too, I thought I would want to replace the tracks too, but I really like the mix in the game, so its staying. I added a nice subwoofer to it and it sounds great.

ChadH,

Are there any unused callouts or DMD images?

Also, are the EXTRA BALL and SPECIAL actually possible in the Mystery awards? I have never seen either after 1500 plays on mine.
From the rules page these are the mystery awards ps
Max Bonus X: Set the end-of-ball bonus multiplier to 7x.
Max Skill Shot: Raise the value of all subsequent skill shots to 50M.
Double Scoring: Scoring is doubled for next 20 seconds; however you cannot start Tommy multiball nor start a UJ, so what's the point?
Super Pops: Pop bumpers are worth 1M a hit for rest of ball.
Million Spinners: Set spinners to maximum 1M per spin for rest of ball.
Silver Ball Lit: The silver ball is lit for 20M, same as completing 2 hits of each silver ball target.
Extra Ball: ?
Special Lit: ?

It might be interesting to force the plane in the video mode to the top so you don't get an automatic 13 million for watching it on autopilot!

That is not the stock shooter lane guide on tommy. Tommy has a one piece shooter lane guide that starts even with the captive ball and ends in an angle at the loop. It's a one piece stainless steel guide.

Looks like yours has a 2 piece guide from another game. This is what the stock guide looks like, but I'm sure yours will work fine.

Oh, so its a guide on top of the stock guide? I see. Well then, sorry, I have never seen this on a TOMMY. Interesting!!! Thanks for the info.

Ball 1 you are spotted one TOMMY LETTER, so you start off with T
Ball 2 you are spotted two TOMMY LETTERS so you start off with TOM if you didn't hit the mirror.
Ball 3 you are spotted two TOMMY LETTERS so you start off with TOMMY, so basically multiball is all automatic on 3rd ball.

If you hit the mirror anytime on ball one or two you are 2-4 hits away from multiball.

Its a fairly hidden plastic under the ramp, so glue it and someday you'll find a replacement.
I use GOOP for mending plastics and its very durable and dries fast.

So I was checking out the combos last night and was able to get them all but I was not able to get the Lyman Bonus described below.

I had replay score set to 550,000,000 and I drained with score of 547,015,870 and a bonus of 1,100,00 for a score of 548,115,870.
This is within the 2 million replay score but I didn't get a Lyman Bonus. Is there something else I need to do?

Next question. I have been checking out the stacking options in TOMMY> Seems some of the modes stack with other modes but some don't. Why is this important? Well you can plan your strategy for points and completing the union jack based on what you can pile on with the stacking options. I concentrated exclusively on stacking last night and ripped thorough the union jack and made it to pinball wizard.

Here is a list of modes and what I have determined. Any changes/corrections?

Mode stacks?
------ ------
COUSIN KEVIN YES
CHRISTMAS YES
HOLIDAY CAMP YES
LiITE EXTRA BALL YES
SILVER BALL YES
SMASH THE MIRROR YES
FIDDLE ABOUT YES
ACID QUEEN YES
THERE'S A DOCTOR YES
SALLY SIMPSON YES
TOMMY SCORING NO
CAPTAIN WALKER NO
PINBALL WIZARD NO

Thanks Chad, I figured it out.

Lyman bonus only happens on the LAST ball and only if you don't have any extra balls remaining. Your final score with bonus has to be less than 2 million from the replay value and you get the Lyman Bonus. I did it today. Awesome!

Oh no! After 6 years of playing this game everyday my blinder arm finally broke
Everything else works fine, the motor, etc. Does anyone make a blinder arm?

Thank you! pm'd

That's about as close as you'll get it and mimics my setup. It looks perfectly normal during gameplay.

I have never had a bounce out from the mirror hole, and very rarely have bounce outs from the scoop. This is certainly avoidable if other games aren't experiencing it. Give it another try, this is great game to be enjoyed.

I have no cliffys on either hole. Sounds like that's what is causing the bounce outs. Maybe the cliffys are not entirely flat....

Get a new silverball target? Seriously, the blade switch on the target was never designed for such a heavy ball in place of the plastic piece. You'd be better off just putting a new silverball target back in place and replace it when it gets worn if it bugs you.

Contact John Wart at this page. I am sure he would burn the roms you need.
