Invoice paid for 457!

TNA #417 should be delivered home by R&L today.

I am a little late to post, but 396 arrived undamaged last Tuesday via R&L.

After some basic adjustments (typical for any pin) and a lighter spring on the knockdown for drop #2, this pin ROCKS!!!

Super fast gameplay... and the music and sound system, just WOW!

I LOVE the funny little touches inside the cabinet... I am sure it has been posted before, but I wasn't expecting it and got a good laugh out of it.

TNA #417 is at home, with no apparent damage.

Will move and install later with friends.

Yeah... that must be an older pic of Bryan_Kelly from when production first started. I hear he's gone down hill a bit since then and has moved from a cane to a walker.

I heard that, asshole!

#328 arrived some time back, and we have been enjoying the heck out of it. My daughter and wife who have never given my love of pinball much thought. until we got the TNA in the house. I also have an early Williams SS and a nice VPin. Now this isn't how pinball is supposed to be played but this is what they do and it's fun watching. They set it for nine balls and play coop 4 player taking turns with the 36 balls in an attempt to reach Total Nuclear Annihilation points be damned. The plan is once they achieve it to give them less balls to make it harder. but with a goal in mind it's fun to see how they are getting better at playing it. And I have more than once had to go to sleep with Scott Danesi's wonderful soundtrack still playing in the other room.

I have finally arrived...

TNA #417 is installed and works beautifully.

I had to tweak a bit the Drop Target 2 that was not knocking down after about 10 plays, trapping a ball.

Also, I noticed that after a Tilt, the game seems frozen and I have to power cycle it, is it normal ?

The only thing I have experienced is a Tilt Thru on a few ocasions. I have never had a system hang under any condition.

I have #404, doing the exact same thing. Contact spooky, they already shipped me some of the lighter springs discussed in the other thread.

Also check the nuts holding your pop bumper assembly together, mine rattled itself apart.

Yeah, I guess I need to replace the springs, because the problem is back :/

Thanks for the tip.

New springs installed, target worked perfectly for 20+ games, extremely happy with the game at this point.

We will have some earlier ordered NIB games coming off the line and ready to ship NEXT WEEK. Two customers asked to be delayed until after Xmas so we got two for the taking ! TNA with NO WAIT !!!!

Email Joe at [email protected] if you would like a NIB game like immediately ! Authorized Spooky distributor.

451 is on the truck!

YES!!!!! Mine is next!!!!!

Same! Can't wait. (457)

So cool the momentum has not dropped off. I have a date with a locally routed TNA (The Grid in Mesa, AZ) tomorrow night! Great pin!

I was a bit late to buying my TNA but it’s great and I’m glad so many people are buying or playing in the wild. Thanks to Scott and Team Spooky.

Did Spooky stop taking orders? It's been quite for 2 weeks. All games shipped out?

From what I have seen it sounds like they are in the process of switching things over to ACNC full time.

If anyone wants a NIB TNA, I know Chris at KingPin Games had one available as of last week. After the distributor allotments are gone, I am pretty sure that is it for a while as things will go ACNC and then PHP after that. I am sure they will eventually go back to TNA, but my guess is it will be a bit.

Come again... apparently I’m living under a rock, what is php?

What is PHP?

What ever happened with RZ? Did they make the full production run? How many pins was that?

He meant HHP - Haunted House Party, ie Danesi game #2.

Yes, they built 300.

Scott, it's awesome to see you improving this already amazing game. My mom and her boyfriend came up for New Years. He usually only plays my TWD, but he spent most of his time on TNA this time. He loved it!

I gotta say, TNA is easily the most played game in my house still. When guests come over, it is the game being played the most and this is true of pinheads and non-indoctrinated people as well.

Thanks for continuing to support the code Scott.

Update went smoothly once I was able to fit the code on a floppy. Thanks Scott!

tnaupdate2 (resized).jpg

Updated the TNA code. Does the new code change how to commence co-op mode? I can’t start it now by holding down the start button?

Thanks!

It does not change that.

I dreamt last night that Scott had added in the original iconic "beep" to the soundtrack, shows up one in every 5 games played...

...was it just a dream?

I figured out the problem. This is what we installed. I can blame another Pinside moderator for it at least. Jodester ha!

HAHA! Awesome! ^^^^

what is the production # up to?

lol nice, did you do the screen swap by any chance?

I did!

It has to be damn close to the "final (?)" number of 550.

I'm game# 505 which according to Tommy at Nitro should ship on Friday.

Is anyone else not happy with this Playfield problem and the response?

how you digging the game? 505 delivering on Monday

I'm sure he's talking about the chipping paint.

I’ve completely missed this topic on chipping paint. Was it in earlier parts of this thread or it’s own topic? Link so I can read up?
