Looks like I'm joining the club! Finally! Been looking for a while now. This one has been routed (significantly) so may need some help along the way. Right now seller is preparing final repairs, clean up etc. Hope to pick her up next week at the latest. I should get the manual and schematics when I pick her up.

Question - the "Spirit Ring" - magnet to move ball from one ramp to another. What is the full assembly on this? Current owner looking to replace as it's missing on this machine. Are these easy to find, even in various parts? I see where you can order the plated mag holder and the sticker - but what about the magnet itself, or the wiring? is this a 3 piece item - mag with wiring harness that plugs into a connecter below the playfield, the mag holder and the sticker - or is there more to it than that?

I'm hoping the seller finds and installs before pick up - if not, what am I looking at to get this installed? Costly? Easy to acquire? Easy to install?

Or should I bow out of the deal now?

Cool! And a free cold beer with every free advice taken! ha! Thanks! As soon as I get her in, I'll let you know. Come over and give her a once over - let me know how she plays compared to yours, what changes possibly to make, updates, etc. I'm sure it has not been updated - ever..and it'll be finally good to meet you anyhow!

For some reason I keep hearing Carly Simon singing “Anticipation”!

Anyone else do this? Waiting on a game and you keep getting add-on’s and mods ? Lol.

Hope to have my ToM tomorrow! Then break her down, clean her up and start working on her !

I’ll post my progress and all questions of course! Where’s my Heinz?

She staked out her space a few months ago. Just took a while to find her! Can’t wait for delivery!

Got the stanchions at a yard sale, then picked up the Red Velvet ropes on Amazon. (Usually keeps the bar area separate from the games area for kids), but had to separate this little area for the ToM to save her some space. (Probably never heard this term before but - "I'm out of room"!)

Machine was received, did not work...as expected. (Arcade owner group had tech help health issues) - so I spent a few hours getting her all working first - adjust the 3 Eddy boards, reinstall the Trunk assembly (installed wrong), re-install the Spirit Ring (installed wrong) - so now all working.

Taking her apart to clean, install the LED's and new Rubbers, then the Saw/Mirror mods, then the lighted flippers - then on to the shaker and Color DMD - move her to the basement - then put her on new legs and new PF glass. Mirror blades should arrive right about on time.

I'll post a couple of photos once she's up and running again!

But your tiger is flying upside down! Lol jk

Cleaned her up and put the new titan rubbers on. Finally finished the LED kit. OMG how bulbs were there? Wow

Installed the rotating saw and lighted stage mirror like yours. Took me a bit and finally found my issue was the ground wire wasn’t seated correctly. Now all working

Today (hopefully ) I’ll get time to install the shaker. These kits that fit multiple games are hard to understand sometimes.

Almost ready !

Finally finished with mine (don’t know how to add video or sound here) but love the color DMD and shaker. Other mods mentioned earlier just makes it a total package. Love this game!
