I'm new to pins and just picked up a TOM. Could someone explain this 1.3/1.4 stuff? What does it do,where do you get it....

I have switch errors on my slings and pops. I cleaned them and made sure that the spacing is good. Everything works in test mode. Not sure what I should try next?

Does this plug in the backbox somewhere? I found it dangling...

Which one should I put back in?

bumpy bump. ?

I installed lighted flipper buttons today. Never had a problem with them on my NGG or Congo. I followed the instructions, turned the power on and it keeps blowing fuse f116. Not sure why.

Flasher location page 2-45, #23 says Save Post Flasher but it's not on the diagram to the right. Which bulb is that?

Out of nowhere yesterday, my TOM starts giving me the Slam Tilt. I have to restart the game. I don't even nudge it. What is causing that and how do I stop it?

I found it. It trips every time I hit the white left stand up target in front of the left ramp. I just replaced those yesterday. Loose connection? Wired backwards? It only has two wires going to it.

I probably screwed that up. Will take a look tonight. Thanks for that pic.

Fixed it. Yay. Thank you for the help fellers.

My nephew enjoying some TOM.

That does look like it plays fast.

Dumb question: What causes the 100million jackpot callout?

Ok. That's what I thought.
Thanks.

One shot away from Grand Finale yesterday and I blew it. Grrrrrr.

Color DMD installed. Looks great with TOM.

Yup.

Didn't get to finish it exactly how I wanted because I ran out of bulbs....

No idea. I just have a big Tupperware full of a mix of Cointaker and Comet stuff.

Color DMD, Mirror Blades and LED's!

How do I adjust the angle of the trunk? When it's on the open side it's lined up pretty well, but when it rotates, it's off by a bit.

My cousin comes over last night. Never played TOM before and throws up a 3 billion game crushing my high score.

^I see that those inserts require a clear coat or mylar overlay. I'm guessing mylar would be the easiest? Do they make inserts where that is not needed? I've never done this before and I do have two or three that could be replaced.

N/M I see there is a laminated set available also.

The LED on the board that controls my left drain magnet is stuck on. No matter how I adjust it, the LED remains lit. Does any company sell those replacement boards?

Is this it? Is there a difference between the right and left one?

Will do. Thanks. Figures. I just rec'd an order from them the other day.

Holy crap

My left outlane magnet fires fine but many times doesn't catch the ball. Sometimes when it does, the ball wobbles a lot and winds up draining anyway. Is there a way to adjust it somehow?
I put in the pinbits eddy board and a new magnet.

What does the OCD do? I LED my TOM with standard bulbs. Looks fine to me.?

Is there a way to increase the Theatre jackpot? Seems like mine is always ~50mill.
I'm trying to beat my cousins score he put on my machine. What are some big point scoring strategies?
Hit wiz mode this morning and immediately drained. Wawaa. Even still, I only had 1.6 bill points. That's over a billion short of where I need to be.

Any mod to fix the ball going through the pops without hitting anything? Always seems to happen during straight jacket escape.

Why is that right ramp so hard for me to hit with any consistency? grrr

Does the clock mod work with the game clock?

Gotcha. I was wondering if the clocks hands moved as you advanced the clock shots. That would be pretty badass.

Auto eddy sensors are great.

When I shoot the left loop, that little flappy gate thing keeps blocking the ball from returning to the right rail.

Thanks. I'll look into.

All these games I've put on TOM and I don't know exactly what I need to do to light extra ball.?
I get it occasionally but not sure how.

No wonder I don't get it more often. I hate that right orbit shot.

Angle. I thought my flip was aligned properly. Maybe I'll post a pic. I can loop the left side one after another but right side....Grrrrr.

I'll try the toothpick. That's a good idea. I was just eyeing it, but depending on the angle, I can see how the visual could be off a bit.

Got it working. . The switch behind the flap was jammed. Thanks for the help.

What do you have to do to complete the GF?

Same here. I've reached it a few times and then drained. If you reach it on ball 2, then drain, is it over or does it stay active for the next ball? I've only reached it on my last ball.

Midnight Madness seems to be the toughest for me to get. I usually hope to get it as a reward in the basement. I can shoot the left loop repeatedly and knock out Theatre easily. The right loop, I hit that like one out of five tries.

Does it make it partially up the ramp then come back down or not get past the gate at all?

What does the Poof target do? I didn't even know it existed until today.

DAMN! Spill it. How'd you score that?

I shouldn't have fixed the gate at the top of the rollovers that was preventing the ball from getting up the return ramp. I was getting some crazy good Xbonus multipliers.

I put sticker ones on without removing the playfield. Easy peasy.

How frequently do y'all reach the wizard mode?

Have you played much TOM? You're welcome to come over and put some time on mine if you want.

Mine is a drain monster. GC score on mine us under 3bills.

I finally beat the GC score my cousin put up last year. Oh what a feeling. I was getting so nervous when I knew I was getting close. Finally have my initials back at the top on all my pins.

I put some stick-on foam around the bottom inside.

I did it once when my control gate was stuck closed.

I need a Spell Magic and Spirit Ring replacement. Does anyone know where I can get them? I assume I'll have to break down and pay for an entire set, but I'd like to get these two taken care of. They are the only ones not looking good on mine.

Get a color DMD in that thing!!

I need the Spell Magic and Spirit Ring decals.

Left magnet stopped catching the ball. Sounds like it activates but doesn't grab it. Has auto eddy board.

Where did you get the insert sticker? Wish I could buy them individually as I only need those two in your pic.
