I replaced it with a through-the-field post. Is that better or did I sign up for a different problem?

Plasma mod ( maybe ) not to good at pic posting

Again maybe?

What is the post part number of the post on the right corner of the trunk.

I purchased this one: http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=324
530-5004-00.jpg

However, in my machine, the threads in the playfield were stripped, so I drilled through the playfield and replaced it with this: http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=320
530-5005-00.jpg

Don't forget the rubber and the nylon locknut if you go with the second post.

Finally got around to putting these in.

i would like the Red velvet inside cabinet panel...seller does not ship to Canada

I would like to reset the High Scores on my ToM pinball...

I would like to clear everything and start like new but i d'ont know how,
i have looked in my book but did not found.

Thanks for any help!

This is the game I have in my shop. Great for visitors because everybody "gets it"

I want to rebuild the trunk someday. Have a new one but it's already starting to crack.

Here is a link to our saw and mirror kit

http://pinballpro.net/product-tag/theatre-of-magic/

Download the manual: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?gid=2845 . More than you would want to know is there, including performing a "factory reset" which is option 8 in the Utilities menu.

You'll then need to set it back to free play, though. This exercise is left to the reader.

Lots of threads about this. (Here's one I started: http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/reinforce-theatre-of-magic-trunk-anyone-try-duct-tape )

I'm going to try butyl rubber sound insulation (e.g. Dynamat). I just purchased this to put into a new trunk: ebay.com link: NEW 1 Sqft GTMAT Onyx Butyl Real Rubber Automotive Proofing Insulation Deadener

I have the manual.i just did not want to do a factory reset and reset all my stuff all over.
i tought there was another way!

Thanks a lot

I just finished putting some LEDs in mine a couple of days ago.

Isn't there a reset high scores from the utility menu?

Yes, I'm almost sure you are correct.

.

Yes, it is "Reset H.S.T.D" option in the Utilities menu. You can even change what the default high scores are in the Adjustments menu.

All menu items are detailed in the manual.

I did a full LED conversion on a different title once (Hurricane) and found that the software liked to blink lots of inserts simultaneously during gameplay, resulting in a nauseating strobe effect.

Do you notice anything like that with ToM and your conversion?

Not at all, but I didn't use bright ones, and most were frosted ablaze ones.

Do you guys find the right staircase shot to be the most difficult in the game? Most of my shots get rejected if they are not perfect.

There are no difficult shots in this game. The object is to see how fast the ball can move before it starts burning the playfield or melting the ramps.

Maybe you and I both suck, but I agree with you.

I'd have to say the shot to the right of that staircase back to the bumpers is much harder...

This is my second Theatre 0f Magic. Custom LED conversion. Brass Beauty Legs, side rails lockdown bar. Thanks John Popadiuk Jr.

Yes, It is a hard shot ie; The Spirit Ring shot is one of the best shots in any pinball machine. The same right ramp is also the best MODE shot in the game. "The METAMORPHOSIS". The dot matrix animation is really , really, Cool.

Man, it is almost always 1 o'clock as that shot is so tough...

Most satisfying shot--stuffing the ball into the trap door! Always a good reward for that one!

Where did you find a matching set of brass? I had thought only mismatched components from different sellers were available.

This shot is more difficult than most on this game. The 100,000,000 pt. trunk shot during multiball is also challenging. If you miss it with the first shot, its hard to recover.

A lesson I would like to share: don't adjust the trunk eddy sensor too sensitively. I did so, but what tended to happen is that the sensors would start to self-trigger when the machine warmed up. Should this happen while you have two balls locked and are ready for multi-ball, this can make the machine go a little haywire.

Long story short - I learned that triggering the trunk magnet and the sub ball release simultaneously can exceed the capacity of the shared circuit, blowing the fuse. I'm glad the fuse did its job, but I don't plan on doing anything that blows a fuse too often.

I managed to do this twice before I backed off the adjustment of the trunk eddy sensor a bit more from the edge.

I've got to go readjust mine. I blew the fuse last night. Don't they have those "improved" eddy boards that don't need adjustment?

Illinois Pinball Co. I bought the Brass Beauty Kit at Rocky Mt Showdown pinball trade show Five years ago. Call 309-828-6993. I did not see it on website. It was $300.00 .

Pinbits hasn't stocked those self-adjusting eddy boards for a couple of years now: http://www.pinbits.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13_33&zenid=gb18vn4hqlfasapdjg71igh7b1

Ok, so I just adjusted the eddy boards, as I need to do on a regular basis or the magnet fuse blows. On page 1-45 of the manual it mentions securing the R2 pot with a drop of "Glip-Tol", which makes sense, but where do you get this stuff, or what is a suitable substitute? Thanks.

Any chance backing off the adjustment more helps? I blew two fuses before I backed out the adjustment more. I back it out approximately 1 hour on a clock face and I haven't blown a fuse since.

Hope this helps a bit. Lloyd recommends fingernail polish:

TOM is a fun game. I have the gold tiger saw and gold mirror with the lights.

Thanks! I figured locktite might be overkill, or eddy kill in general.

That first picture is a bit dim. Can you get a daylight pic? It's too dim to see awesomeness.

I have a dilemma. I need to replace the legs, but don't want to replace the lockdown bar and glass frame. So a full matching bronze set is beyond my ambitions.

What color legs would work best with stock stainless around the glass:
1) stock stainless
2) black
3) gold

My ToM is my first pin... the only issue that I seem to regularly have with it is that under the right ramp (the ramp over the jets) the ball gets stuck between the bottom of the ramp and the play field. I think I am missing a post or that the high post where the ramp makes its first bend is the incorrect one (too short). If any one has any pics or tips with this problem I would appreciate it!

Do you mean it is getting stuck under the ramp when it is in the pop bumpers? You might be missing a rubber. Look at this pic: http://www.theteardown.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=70&sessionid=e22b4248f635c4b3282ee842b7929247

Otherwise, I'm having a hard time visualizing how the ball is getting stuck while ON the right ramp. If you can post a picture of the ball stuck in that spot, I'm sure everyone will see what part might be missing.

Thanks for the sites guys... I will try to get a pic of it getting stuck..the ball is actually under the ramp when it gets stuck. On the tear down site it seems I have all the parts just on my game the ramp just seems to be too low it actually touches the top of the bottom jet.
