The Eddy boards have a little pot switch (like a volume knob) that you adjust with a screwdriver to calibrate when the magnet is activated. I've never had a problem with the outbound Eddies, but I did replace the Trunk Eddy with the one from Pinbits, and it works great. No more recalibrating it every 3 months! I also recommend you replace the trunk board with the "Leon" board (do a search on Pinside). It's a tiny bit complicated to install but well worth it. The trunk won't get stuck halfway anymore.
The Eddy boards and the Leon Trunk board are two different things. The Eddy board (for the magnets) is a piece of cake to install; the Leon board is more complicated so you'll have to search this thread for instructions once you buy it.
Here's a link to a great trunk. None of them are unbreakable, but it should last a long time. Search this thread for ways to reinforce it.

Quoted from Cserold:Edit: never mind....I see they are the same board
Hi guys,
What is Ingo's trunk Board and how does it relate to the Leon Board? Are they two different boards that work in tandem?
Thanks!
Ingo's board IS the Leon board. He's right; it's relatively easy to install if you are careful and follow the online instructions.

Quoted from Beerpressure:I just looked up his video and that is not what I'm talking about. the ball flies in between the trunk and a post while its rotating and gets stuck.
A lot of of us have had this problem, and this is the best fix (in my opinion). Glue a very small piece of foam as shown. The ball will rest on the foam instead of the post. Then when the trunk rotates, the ball will just glide off of the foam to freedom!

Quoted from EvanDickson:I have a gremlin in my machine that surfaces only occasionally, maybe every few weeks, with one of a couple symptoms. It's a long shot, but sas anyone ever experienced something like this and figured out what it is? I have additional variables in the mix for troubleshooting, and that's that I have Ingo's board installed, and Pinbits auto adjusting eddy boards installed.
- Four or five instances of trunk stops registering hits. They do not start registering again until the machine is turned off and on.
- Four or five instances of magna-save triggering without ball rolling over eddy sensor. I think in particular it's the right side triggering it, as it once or twice triggered with the ball rolling down the inlane.
- Two instances only of left flipper registering a trunk hit when selecting illusion before plunging the ball.
- One instance of the background crescendo music not playing when multiball was starting, just silence followed by the voice yelling "multi ball".
Weird things, and not consistent. Any ideas?
Here's my take, as I've owned a TOM for 15 years:
1. The trunk can get confused if you hit it while it's moving. You don't have to turn off the machine, but you might have to open the coin door and go to trunk test to reset it. Replacing the Trunk Opto Board with the "Leon Board" from German-Pinball (search this thread) should fix it.
2. Replace the eddy with the Pinbits eddy boards that don't need adjustment: http://www.pinbits.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=296
3. No clue
4. That's normal. Every so often you don't get the crescendo music.

Quoted from Okarcades:Just finished the machine I got a month ago. Looks nice and plays perfectly. Just hit route last weekend!
Looks great! What LED kit did you use?

While replacing my TOM lights with LED's I noticed these two wires disconnected from the right-side stand-up target (just to the right of the center ramp). Can anyone please send me a picture so I make sure and solder these back to the right position? Thanks!
