A lot of love and effort went into that pin over the last few years - such a great flowing pin.

I was telling Jamie as I went over it last night someone really put alot of care into it, it has alot of great upgrades. I'd love to hear the story sometime.

Would be appreciated if you could video the tiger saw in motion as I've never seen that decal before. Looks like it would be real neat in action

How do you connect the Lasseriffic Toper to the power driver board?

Please email me at [email protected]

When I am back in the office I will check to see what instructions I have that I can send to help you out

Jordan, Laseriffic

We are no longer offering the original Laseriffic topper made for TOM but we are offering a new, all etched topper. It is on our website for you to take a look at if you are interested. Please contact with any questions

Thank you! I will get that email out.

Just received and installed my 3 boards. (pretty fast shipping from Oz too) Only played a couple of games so far, but they seem to work fantastic. Thanks for filling the void for a much needed part!

I have problem with my trunk it sometimes stops working.
After trunk test mode it works again for a short while.
I bought this new trunk board, but still same problem:

Art.nr: FP-A-19749

Brand new design Theatre of Magic Trunk Opto Board. Based on Leon's Trunk Fix. Will automatically adjust! Direct replacement board for the original Theatre of Magic Trunk Opto Board.

Would the new board (look post before me) work?

Gear box might have to be cleaned and re-lubed.
Also motor might have to be cleaned out. You can clean out the motor with circuit cleaner. The ends come off if you are careful.

Does wonders but it's a pain.
Fortunately you only have to do it once every 20 years.

After that maybe get the new board from german-pinball

Never thougt about cleaning the gears and motor, i'll start with that.
Thanks for your advice

Thanks Eric and I presume Laseriffic_ct, I finally got my topper working! It only took me 8 months.

That Topper Looks Great! It was such a pleasure to meet you and your girl in a far away land so far from pinball. I'm stoked you found me on Pinside and I was so happy to help and get this topper working. It really needed it.
Jordan was very helpful at Lasseriffic and getting this solved by supplying info. Shame they don't make this anymore. They should. Best looking topper for this game I've seen.
When your ready to add Colordmd let me know, looks like the last thing you need for game.

Indeed! Getting into the pinball hobby got us through some tough times this past year. My wife is pretty religious and saw meeting someone who could help us in such a far away place as Notre Dame as a sign that we're doing things right. I have to admit, it's a pretty darn crazy coincidence.

This is the best topper for this machine and it floored me when I found it was a short run production. The colorDMD is going to be a ways off because we have our eye on a couple of older pins we need to save up funds for.

Thanks again!

Just wanted to let those of you that are in search of the old style TOM topper made by Laseriffic that it is BACK on our production line and will be available soon on Laseriffic.com so keep an eye out

Jordan, Laseriffic

Nice! It's the best topper for it by far.

Does anyone have an extra decal for the "Spirit Ring" insert? I can only find a whole insert set online, and that is the only one I need. Thanks in advance!

Anyone have a spirit ring insert decal bump?

I do but I'm in Australia. I have several in fact sorry

Can anyone explain the rules of the top gates (left and right) please.

Is it true that the right one is sometimes/sometimes not in basic single ball play? Is there a pattern to this?

Thanks.

My TOM has no service outlet. I was hoping to put Pinstadiums in it. Is everyone else's like this or is it just mine?

Perhaps you have this IEC style service outlet inside your cab? In that case all you would need is this extension cord to convert to a standard plug.

That's it! Thanks

Bump - still looking for the insert decal!

You can find the decals at Planetary Pinball, Bay Area Amusements, Pinball Decals, Ebay, and probably others. All in stock. All just the Spirit Ring decal. All about $7 plus shipping ($8.50 on eBay)...

I'm looking for the insert decal, not the spirit ring itself. Right above the "R" on Theatre on the playfield, and leading up to the right ramp

mr pinball I think used to sell the insert decals. I'm not sure but I had a set but again I'm in Australia unfortunately

I need the Spell Magic and Spirit Ring decals.

Sorry, my bad.

I used to have a full decal set, but it was flawed in many ways, so I sold it years ago to someone less picky than I was. If I still had it, I would share that insert decal.

Good luck

Having an issue where the let magnet keeps blowing the fuse.

Should this be a 3A SB?

I believe so. Test magnet ohms. I had a similar problem but unsure of my solution. I changed out my driver pcb. So it could be a transistor issue etc. I also noticed my trunk mech up/down had worn a notch in it that could have put excessive load on the coil. I fixed this as well

Anyone know how to improve/strengthen the outlane magnets? My right lane stops the ball well and drops is straight into the inlane, but the left one wiggles around so much that it still goes in the outlane %50 of the time

I have exactly the same behaviour of the left outlane saver magnet. The ball will not be stopped to the last movement but keep wiggling and therefore drop onto the posts and sometimes jump to the outlane... I would also be interested in any way to fix this and make the left ball saver the same reliable as the right one...

Bend the washer under the magnet so that the magnet coil is firmly snuggled up the the wood.

I put a Rottendog drvr board in my BOP and my TAF and never had a problem yet

I have one that was in my tom and is now sitting in a cupboard not working. My original had been hacked that's why i replaced it but it's back in again working fine. My opinion is not positive for rottendog

Hey, I don't know if anyone did this but this is my ball stuck mod.

Yes that or 2 posts is one of the possible fixes.

Mine came with a post in that t nut but I removed it. I thought having one there was a big no no?

I installed it in mine when I got it NIB. Its been there 20 years and was a good fix for me.
However I dont have 500,000 plays on my game. Closer to 20,000.

I imagine that anything can happen though.

Pretty sure I have a a Rottendog power board in mine and it works fine. I guess some folks have had bad experiences but I also have a couple of their CPU boards as well and they’ve always been good.

The fuse connected to the spirit ring magnet check blowing mainly during multiball. When it did the trough etc was also dead.

I have a brand new trunk opto-board with Leon integrated. I bought this to put in my game, but ended up trading the game away. I paid $64 with shipping.

I also have a a magic trunk connector from Little Shop of Games, that will make the install much easier. I paid $35 with shipping:

I'll offer the set for $75 plus shipping (probably like $5). I will ship to the USA and Canada.

Get in touch if you are interested.

Does anyone want an upgraded trunk onto-board with Leon integrated board?

I have one with a new molex connector and bulbs that that is likely better than your tangled wires, and also makes install easy since you won't have to worry about unseating and reseating your molex.

Both of them for $75! It's a steal and it's the perfect upgrade for TOM.

PM me if interested.

Recently picked up a TOM and did some lighting upgrades and waiting to do a major cleaning on it. I had to work out a few issues when I got it but now it’s pkayjng good except for one minor issues that’s drovjbg me nuts. When the ball goes into the trunk and kicks out through the basement, it always ties two tries for it will kick the ball out. Game is level and I also cleaned out the lock area to see if that was causing the issue. Anyone else ever seen anything like this?

Yes it’s a common problem. Remove the spring from the popper coil. No need for a spring return let gravity do the work. I had the same issue. Never came back after I pulled the spring.
