Yes, I will be doing a small run of them in about a month. Anyone that wants one should PM me and I will make sure everyone that has contacted me gets one.
No payment needed until they are ready to ship.

namyzzo Thanks for all your help, detailed pictures and schematics. I really appreciate it!

I was never able to isolate a short anywhere. I replaced the fuse and now the game has been playing just fine for the last few days.

I assume it must have been somewhere in coils 1-6, but other than that questionable diode on the left flipper, I couldn't find a thing!

Here's hoping it stays running. I'll keep some fuses on hand just in case! Thanks TheNoTrashCougar and namyzzo for your time.

C’est quoi ?

I, too, have obsessed over the backstory for the game, and listened to EVERY interview of Scott I could find, to glean every detail, so I could give an accurate description to friends who try the game. I mean, TNA is far more interesting a game than most, in terms of its theme and concept, and the backstory only makes it better. I'm so glad that this "loose" storyline is going to be a book! I can REALLY lay the whole thing on my friends!!

Max

Thank you all for the kind words on the book idea. LIONwoMAN has been really hard at work on this for quite some time. I have heard parts of it and it is really amazing what she is coming up with. She is the ultimate creator of the story.

Happy Easter TNA Peeps!

Has anyone else noticed the attract mode light show slows down when using Jukebox mode? Is this just my machine?

Anyone know where you can source the brass colored finger that triggers the drops?
I have had 2-3 break on my TNA and don't want to have to buy a full drop target assembly to get that goofy actuator.

Thanks.

Damn! That looks fantastic. If I had room for another on my machine, I'd be hounding you for one!

I’m sorry, but where and the hell can I buy this pad/cover???!!!! I’ve been trying to figure out some type of wall art (besides the TNA playfield) and I’d like to have a TNA banner like I have for my sterns, id gladly try and make this work somehow lol

..That one looks pretty good.. Let me know if you find any.

I seen another style on 3bay - the cover looks really pixelated in the photo.

It looks like the little rivet on the orbit metal piece just behind the spinner is popped out a bit, causing left orbits to airball. Any idea how to fix it?

The guys name on Facebook is beach beach, and doesn’t speak English. But basically said he has them made, and to buy one, plus have it shipped to United States it’s 130 euros ($141)….

That stretched out art looks horrid.

Has anyone come up with any life hack solutions for the loose coin box on the CE yet?

I 3D printed a spacer to hold it in place.

You could install one of these at the back:

Then secure the coin box with a cash box hair pin.

EDIT:
You will also need to a cash box cover for this setup to work:

That might help hold it in place.

I installed cable staples (9/16"x 1 1/4") to "secure" the coin box in all my Spooky games (TNA 2.0, ACNC & RAM). While I have strong desire to keep my games in great/original condition, the cable staple was a simple solution.

Thanks Scott

Do you have a photo you can post of this solution?

Had a weird issue with my OG TNA at this weekends tournament. After several hours of play it started resetting. We opened the back box and the CPU was extremally hot to the point where we could not touch it. We decided to turn off the game and took it out of the tournament. I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I have a replacement CPU from spooky to install since we never were able to update the old CPU. Going to add some fans to the new one to make sure we don't have a reoccurring issue with prolonged tournament use. Thanks for your input.
Regards,
Al

Here's 2 pictures of how I used the cable staple as requested. Simple but does the job from my standpoint. Forgot that I had also used same approach on my HW too.

Thank you for the photos. That seems quick and easy plus it seems like it would allow a little lateral movement to align the coin mech with the coin box holes. Thanks again

C est moi

Resetting maybe due to a ribbon cable getting loose under the playfield.

Lift playfield and press all connections.

I too had a funky OG PC.
My CMOS battery went dead, and we replaced it but after that I could never update the code! Required a new PC. Weird eh?

Quick question for Scott or anyone else who knows:

The Arm / Finger that trips the drops. Is it the L or the R version in TNA?

Thanks

Left version!

The Sc00by towel idea is kinda neat.

I don't know why Sp00ky doesn't up their game - and offer goodies like these on their website.
..and spare parts, and a simple Rubber replacement kits ready to go for TNA and models that THEY sell.!! (sorry, I hadn't beaten that "Dead Horse" in awhile.. ).. GRRrrr..

Maybe its a "rights" thing with the image and Scott/Matt Andrews/Spooky.? = but I'm ready to throw money at a cool cover should they decide to offer some "Licensed" products

Looks like you can take images to Walmart on other online places and have them put it on a towel or whatever - but a little shady (illegal?) taking his drawing/artwork and doing it. Would prefer my $$ go to the rightful guys and "Sport - Out" my TNA in the process..

Offering wise = A soft fiber towel like static free cover for us poor folk, a next level offering more of a padded glass protector, and..???

(I kinda want an easy on/off cover just for the bottom cabinet. Iv'e seen the 3bay generic black covers with magnets to secure them..etc - just not sure if I am sold on one of those)

(..just some pics for the idea. Maybe a package deal with her book.?..)

Guys, talk me out of buying a TNA please. I've never played one, but it looks amazing as hell and have always wanted one (I think). Is there anything I should be aware of if I bought one? Any problems? Help me decide, it looks incredible but I don't know that they priced this right at 9k. What are your thoughts? Feel free to pm me if you need to say something extra inflammatory lol.

If you go back to November-December in this thread, you’ll read some horror stories on issues some have had with NIB games. It seems that the most recent CE’s have been overall good though, and Spookys support is top notch. I picked up a used OG one, saved 2k+, and my machine has been shooting perfect for a few months now. There’s always that option, it’s worth a road trip for if none pop up nearby.

In regards to game itself, it thrives in the home environment with the lights low and an external sub cranked. It’s more like a pinball “experience”

There are a few locations within a reasonable distance from you with TNA on route. Go play one and see if it’s for you.

Here is my list of crappy things about TNA:
- The lightshows only run at 30 frames per second, which is not up to par with modern 4k televisions which can sometimes run at 120fps. This means that every individual RGB LED only updates 30 times every second.
- The animations are glitchy.
- Some of the sound effects are running on 8 bit emulation.
- The references to Goonies in the high score tables are out of date.
- There are no ramps.
- The colors on the cabinet are too bright and loud and do not fit into a minimalist aesthetic.
- The machine can be turned up too loud for most home environments.
- The music in the game can make people who don't like electronically made music, appreciate it.
- There is only 3 flippers.
- The game was designed by a dude with a questionable pinball playing skill level.
- Most people cannot beat the game on default settings.
- Co-op mode enables people to need to be physically near each other.... gross.
- The software gets new updates/bug fixes/features too much.
- They physical score displays only show score and nothing else ever.
- The ball save timer between the flippers has not caught on as an industry standard thing for some reason.
- TNA shares the same boardset as many other production pinball machines from different manufacturers. The designer could not even make his own proprietary boardset.... lame.
- Used too many "off the shelf" Williams/Bally pinball parts.

There are many more crappy things about TNA that I am aware of, but I have to run for now.

Thanks,
--Scott

At launch I refused to buy one at 9K. Now I have one one the way…NIB, at $9K. That’s how great the game is. It will make you lose all sense of rationale and reason.
If you like old Williams system 11 games then you will love it.
I first played TNA when I was just starting to play pinball again (played Pinbot, High Speed & Comet every Saturday at the bowling alley when I was a kid).
Five years ago I played TNA, and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since. I bought the soundtrack via iTunes, and I play it at least once a month.
As others have said, go play this game. Give the music a few seconds, then plunge and let that bass line hit…and let it pull you in. Cheers!

Nobody knows the Lore or the Backstory;

Who is that girl?
Doesn't she know how to parallel park a tank?
Why are her glasses upside down?
Doesn't that strap chafe?

Hahahaha although it sounds like not for long…Complete backstory in progress, from the real brains behind the Danesi Dynasty.

Here's another crappy thing about TNA: it'll always take up 1 pin spot in my basement. Always. Forever and ever. I'll never get that spot back. Ever. Never ever ever.

Ever.

If you’re ever near St Louis (still on IL side though) feel free to hit me up. I also have a Scooby do on order, but won’t get it until end of Nov/beginning of Dec it looks like.

Scott D,
Anymore music being added to the jukebox mode. Will the music from your P3 title find its way here?

TBD on that one.

Anyone have a high quality image of the triangle logo? Wanting to make some new apron cards...

<delete>

Can someone please shoot me a pic of the upper left flipper from under the playfield?

I had a wire break off that coil and noticed a second wire that appeared clipped & going nowhere, so I’m wondering if one of the 3 legs on that coil is supposed to have 2 wires going to it?
Thanks for any help!

Installed speaker light kit today and noticed my gates up top aren't functioning now. What did I screw up?

Had to post here. I cant send via pm

20221212_215018 (resized).jpg

20221212_213923 (resized).jpg

Awesome thanks!
That clears it up for me, apparently I had one wire break off the double leg and one wire break off the opposite end that’s a single wire, was assuming they both went to the same leg but nope.
Cheers

,,just being curious.. Can you share a pic of the adapter kit and you wiring harness type going to it.?

Iv'e been trying to get spares of those boards - but I think Sp00ky black listed me.. LOL.. I don't want to mess around with mine just incase I break something. The board looks a little tweaked on mine - like the connectors are too big to sit "normally". Maybe one of your wires had a bad crimp? or the interface board has issues? (I think it's the pink ones? - but don't quote me on that)

Reseat? or remove interface and see if the gates work again..? - maybe something to try..

(2 pics and a schematic of my CE setup, and one pic from someones elses install/post)

Thanks.

Will snap some photos when I open it back up tomorrow and dick with it a bit.

I know the topper is a #89 bulb, but has anybody replaced it with a very bright led? I can find tons of them, just curious if there was one that was known to be way brighter than what we have now. Thanks.

This is the one I used and was previously posted here a while back that fits without having to do any modifications:
