I keep seeing this thread and it makes me want my TOM back! Man I love the flow on that game
The problem is that there are so many games out there that we want. I have TOM that I'm toying with selling because I found another game that I want and I don't have room just to add another. One game has to go to bring in another.
Quoted from Vyzer2:
how do you get rid of pins that you fall in love with. I cant seem to get rid of any that i have..and then i cant experience any new machines.
Love my ToM...esp because its in great shape.
Quoted from jpop:
Love the rusty balls..!! Would make a nice feature turning the rusty ball into a shiny ball...
Rusty balls. That's funny - our cat we just adopted is named Rusty and he just got neutered. In fact, I'm holding him now.
TOM is still one of the nicest looking pins out there IMHO. Its not a super hard game and gets bashed for lack of a good wizard mode but its just a fun , smooth game to play. I have a nice example and its not going anywhere soon.
If your trunk starts acting funky clean the gear box......
I sold mine that I purchased in 1998 paid $1,900 for it back then. In 2006 I fund another one in excellent condition. $3,600.00 + $300.00 for a Brass Beauty kit. Added full costume LED conversion $ 150-$200.00 in 2011. JPOP is my favorite designer. One left to buy back. CV that I sold in 2002.
Time for an update. I have been patiently waiting to continue on in this restoration. The cabinet finally got it s final coat this week. The playfield has been nearly complete for 9 months and occupying my rotisserie. (I had to make a second one just to do other restore/shops).This restore just went back into high gear and I'm pumped!

What primers/paints did you use?
I know its overkill but I couldn't resist
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:
Looks fantastic! Did you clear it yourself?
Very nice indeed!

I sent the playfield out to a friend, he does amazing work
Quoted from CaptainNeo:
holy shit. I hope that game was dirt cheap.
It was at one time,
Now.....
Kidding, Cost was never a factor ,its just a hobby
