Quoted from libtech:

Anyone know if there are still NIB TNA's at some distros?

Quoted from KingPinGames:

None that I'm aware of

I emailed KT and she didnt know of any either. By listing a WTB here on Pinside I found mine, which is practically new. There may be someone sitting on a NIB but I doubt it.

Quoted from yzfguy:

I had considered updating, just to see what changed, bit it seems like it would be kinda quirky.

I updated to beta a few days ago. Plays fine. I did experience an odd E6 error during a multi-ball but it didnt seem to affect gameplay. Testing beta and giving feedback only makes a game better.
You can always downgrade code.

Eb = Extra ball

If you can't tell I have not put a ton of plays on TnA yet.

Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:

It shoudl be good. "Normal" is where I like the shaker to be. In fact, on Normal, it maxes out at 90%, so it will never go above that. I just need to revamp how the lower settings are handled on Low.

Maybe you can put a cell phone in the bottom of the cabinet and use the vibrate setting by connecting via USB or Bluetooth.

Quoted from BigLebowski:

Great, first thing I did was to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4 and now the machine seems to be dead. Screen is dark, the 4 score displays are moving from left to right, inserts are on, but nothing else is happening. Somebody having a clue what I could do now?

Downgrade, then try again.

Quoted from Becenbarger:

We did find a wire that had broke off the middle section of the coil.

When you say "middle of a coil" I imagine you mean the top flipper coil.
You may want to add a pic of which coil.
Wires rarely just break off. I would check the health of the diodes on the flipper coil if that is the one you soldered.

Quoted from joelbob:

HERE IT IS EVERYONE. SEE VIDEO BELOW
All together took maybe 15mins. Great addition for $20! Thanks thenotrashcougar

Thanks joelbob !

Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:

I make $0 on every one of these that is sold.
I recommend NOT drilling holes in your playfield,
--Scott

While i agree with TheNoTrashCougar on drilling, using a center punch or something can reduce walking of the screw (if OCD like me).
I just finished installing this mod and it really adds a level of threat to the game.

TheNoTrashCougar can you make joelbob 's post a key post? Finding it for reference for my install was a bit of a hike .

I would add that the screw for the wire ladder is a tad longer than original screws so pay attention when relocating and installing the mod.

#7340 3 years ago
Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:

Making a key post is above my pay grade. I really have no idea how to do it or if I am able to do it.
--Scott

Ahhhh, That falls to Pinballlew i guess.

Thanks for an awesome upgrade.

Quoted from Pinkitten:

If anyone hears of one available, lemme know! Thanks, Scott!
[quoted image]

I put a WTB on Pinside as well as CL and had my TNA on its way within 2-3 weeks.
Often not advertised, but lots of folks consider selling when they think they are in control of the price.

Quoted from TheBeefSupreme:

Just recently got my TNA and I notice this target is cracked at the bottom. Anyone know where I can get a replacement?
[quoted image]

You can probably just put a decal over it, but Pinball Life should have the right bits.

Quoted from psychosoda:

Hey TNA-ers!
Does anyone have a source for a shooter lane eject protector for TNA? Mine is starting to get some wear and I'd love to cover that bad boy up.
Cheers!
Soda

You can ask Cliffy if he has anything.

Just stumbled across this.
Pretty darned cool.

Apologies if previously posted, never saw it in here.

Quoted from harryhoudini:

TNA Owners... for anyone interested in the IPS LCD screen there might be a discount to be had if we can place a large enough order:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ips-lcd-upgrade-interest-rampm-acnc-tna-and-more
I believe we should have an update on the custom brackets for the screen mounting soon and some pics of one owner who's done the upgrade.

Hey folks here are some before and after pics using the LCD harryhoudini was discussing earlier.
My TNA looks like it is supposed to now for somebody over 6 foot tall.
Definitely adds to the experience.
(Note: I tried setting the Brightness and Contrast manually but found the "GAME" setting in the presets worked great)

Yeah, it really spruces the thing up.
The better top down viewing angle the IPS provides, makes a huge difference.

Quoted from d0n:

Thanks. The rails aren't flickering, they're steadily flashing about once a second

I believe you can set them to do that.
Try pushing the connected switch

Edit: Yeah i just checked mine. There are 3 different settings for speed of blinking and one steady state.
There should be a small push button micro switch that allows you to adjust this. Look for the controller box located in the cabinet and then look for a long wire with a button on the end. I have my button extended all the way to the coin box.

#7968 2 years ago
Quoted from Flynnyfalcon:I'm in the club as of about an hour ago... Super bloody excited... but sadly it won't start a game... the pin boots fine but pressing Start does nothing. I trailered it maybe 5 minutes from the previous owner. I did have it up on its tail, so possibly something has moved/fallen off inside, but it was all relatively smooth. Any ideas? I'm yet to open her up as I'm juggling a couple of kids at the moment, I'm sure it'll be something simple.
[quoted image]

Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:

Try and power cycle the small PC. There is a power button located next to the DC barrel plug on the right side of the PC. Obviously, do this with the machine turned on.
As for the side rails flickering, that is not something I have ever seen.
--Scott

Check ALL connections and if nothing loose, try resetting it like Scott pointed out in previous posts.

#7980 2 years ago
Quoted from jedi42:

Hard to tell from the picture, but I think mine is the same as yours.
[quoted image]

That's the switch activator for the pop bumper.
It should not be flush with the playfield.

The speaker grills were an option that some installed at factory.
Mine did not have the speaker grills and lighting when i bought it, but i contacted Spooky and was able to order it and install myself.
Also before PinMonk made it easy, I swapped the power supply fan on mine and it mad a considerable difference.

#8037 2 years ago
Quoted from TonLoc777:

Anyone have experience using a white power ball with this game? Wondering if it is going to mark the table up any differently than a steel ball?

Luv my power ball!
The ball it self picks up crud but zero impact to PF.
It adds so much to the play of this game.
I have never gotten past reactor #3 and i like to blame it on the PB.

#8043 2 years ago
Quoted from BorgDog:

the one mod I do really like, but not for the faint of heart, is the frosted lit drop targets. details in this thread somewhere.
[quoted image]

Still want to do this. Its on the list.

#8057 2 years ago
Quoted from turbo2nr:

This is kinda like the Air Raid Siren I have.
Mine is inside the cabinet because it is too loud if placed outside.

That is hysterical. I would totally end up divorced.

The middle kiddo brought the crew by to play. You cannot tell by this pic, but guess which game got the most plays...

It was not Jokerz!, BoP, R&M, or Ultraman.

Love my TNA and apparently so does everyone else.
