Hi guys, i unboxed my TNA 2 weeks ago, so it's time to have a little debrief.
So first.. i love this game. Unconditionnaly. I nerver had a pinball with such a strong spirit, definitely fun-oriented and deeply immersive.
You have to play wisely if you want to achieve high scores, and I love it.
The design is awesome, really, event the coating of the legs is beautiful!
The lighshow is the best i ever seen, and the music as well.
I love the cool spirit of Spooky, also, like the small qualitycheck stickers, the "ugly blue box", etc... they are like none other pinball constructors.

Now... for the cons part.
when i unboxed it, i discovered that 2 leg protectors were misaligned. I had to unscrew them and fix them a bit upper, which was quite uneasez because of the existing screwholes.

I had the famous "post problem", but i ordered the rubber washers, so no big deal.

The shaker is very heavy, and everything rumbles in here!
so... i use some gum tape dedicated to door isolation. I put some behind the back panel, beneath the back panel, between the back panel and the translite, and in the back gutter wich holds the glass (sorry for my english....)

Even though, i find it very loud (even set to Low) and i wish it was programmed differently.
For example, when the reactor is overheated, it shakes continuously. I'd rather like it shakes by phase, like bbBbbrrrrr......bbBbbrrrrr.... bbBbbrrrrrr...., like an alarm, you see?
Speaking of noises...
the fan IS loud. but funnily, mine is exactly tuned to the main theme music, so it doesn't disturb that much. Anyway i plan to change it soon

aaaaaaand finally...
i really dislike the rattling of the beamer. What is the best tip to get rid of it, please?

Last annoyance: one of the GI bulb passed away after only 10 days. Now it only blinks red and white. i plan to order a few from pinballlife, but if someone in Europe got one to sell, it would be nice, as the sipping fees are really expensive now.

Thanx guys, it's a pleasure reading your posts here.

Dude, awesome idea!

Hi guys,
Has anyone pimped his TNA with anodized lock nuts?
How does it look like, and wich color did you choose?

Thanx!

What are the Lermod's flipper toppers, please?
I couldn't find the by googling...

Scott, now the shaker is too weak, please fix it!!!!

.....

...I'm joking! Fat chance!
Thanx for your awesome work.

Are you able to launch a game?

If so, maybe you just disconnected the HDMI cable accidentally..

Hi Scott,
To my taste, i prefer as it is right now.
I do not feel the need to have the 4 scores on the LCD screen

Hello,
Do you know how i could get the "Welcome tu the Future" title neat and clean?
I am planning to do a sticker to put on the coin door.

Thanx for helping.

Hi, i noticed it too on mine, #303.
But i suppose it is intended, as it gives a kind of "electricity effect". Am i wrong? I will share some shots of the rear of the glass.
It is not really crackling, it's rather a kind of "glue" on the backglass...

Hi folks, what do you think of my custom metallic instruction cards?

Nice crash yesterday. Just after exploding reactor 1.
The machine shut down and reboot.
First time it ever happened.
Is there a known bug?

To be honest, I'm not sure...
Why this question?

All i can tell, the system rebooted (loading bar)

Hi,
my 12v Power supply died during a 2 days exhibition (sob)
Could you tell me where to find a brand new one?
I cannot find the item on Pinball Life....

Thanx Scott.
It is not that bad, I was super happy to show this game, it played non stop, people really loved it and gave warm feedbacks.

Hi guys,
>700 plays on my TNA, i have to change the thin post sleeves.
Has anyone tried coloured ones?
I would be happy to see your pics before ordering!
