#62 , finally checking in!
Scott, thanks for an amazing game, it makes me want to laugh and strangle it, all at once.
It was my first NIB, worked great out of the box. Waiting for my RM # 183, probably get it in the next week or so.

Congrats on two stunning games.

I had something a little similar, I would start a game, and the ball lock would engage, before I shot the ball. Or right after shooting. My tech replaced several optos in the lock mech, but never could figure witch one it was. He tried several times, and different ones. He fixed it. Haven't had any problems since. This was a year and a half ago on older code, so might not help.
Good luck Jon.

The Magazine is Brilliant by the way.

Nice cool night finally, opened the garage and had a friend over. Here's TNA next to its single level brother's and sisters. Fits in perfectly, TNA is simply a perfect pin.

Spooky " could " run more TNA's as its Scott's game and spookys, 550 were made I believe. I got #62 nib, but as a small family run company they have thier hands full making the 750 Rick and Morteys. It will take them to about the end of 2021 to finish the run. Then they will announce the Dave Van Ess game. Unless they need time to ramp up for the next new game, there is little chance they will have time to do a small run of TNA again. Unless they're is a demand from distributors and people calling Spooky directly, It seems doubtful TNA will get another run anytime soon.
I hope they run it again, it deserves another run of 200 or so, it's a brilliant game. Mines bolted to the floor.

Well informed and insightful Message from the Freeeek Kingdom.

Oh man that sucks, sorry Maleko. I'll check mine when I get home Tuesday. I'm in socal too, so our weather is similar. Do you remember your game number? I'm #62.
Let's hope it's a one off, or short print run problem.
I haven't had to touch my back glass since the day I got it .

Those lit siderails look sharp, I might have break down an get them. Just dont like the idea of the wires trailing down into the cab and getting pinched.

Worry wort Message from the Freeeek Kingdom.

Spooky Cabinets are top notch quality, as good or better than anyone else.
TNA size fits like a glove, next to Xenon Paragon Firepower and Space Invaders

Hmmm obscure....?? Your posting on PINSIDE.
TNA is a Original Theme/story.
That's a plus, it's called Creativity.
With all the Failures in the Industry we've seen in the last 10 years, ...... TNA and Spooky are the best story in our Hobby.
It also has the Greatest Soundtract in Pinball.
Stunning Lightshow.
Intense one of a kind Gameplay, and the most hilarious 4 player, or Co-OP action.

I'll never sell my OG#62. its wonderful there will be more TNA in the world.
Cheers.

I hear ya... Rick and Morty was my last NIB, and paying for the BSE edition was like pulling teeth, I can afford it, but I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to certain things.... like Pinball.

At this Point it's only a short list of Grail Themes that will get me to jump on a NIB.

Big Trouble in Little China
Escape from New York
Van Halen
BÖC
Motörhead
Blade Runner
The Thing

And it doesn't sound like any of these, or even more obscure Licences are gonna be made.

Guess I'm safe $$ wise, hunting for more 1978-1984 Solid States.

I orded mine pretty early on, I got #62, I think the only options were plastic protectors, coin box, shaker/knocker and mirror blades... mayby?
Was TNA the first Game with Butter option?

From what everyone has described about their TNA they have owned, and all the mods installed....
It sounds like mine is utterly unique! Mine is still Bone Stock, ... perfection!!! I did order factory installed plastic protectors and Shaker/knocker , but that's it.

One of one in the World ????

Though... the lighted side rails have tempted me.....

Signature !! Awesome, but..... that's a Mod! Mines still 1 of 1.
Haha.

I'm looking right at the Damn add for the lighted rail kit ! It pops up everytime.... tempting me...

Outstanding

Welcome to the Future ! Welcome to the Party.
Congrats everyone joining the club.

My TNA is still bone stock, and its perfect.... but I'm starting to jones over those lighted side rails....

How difficult is it to remove the Tna side rails, I worry about damaging stuff, I'm a 6 foot 7 clutz.

Thanks, yeah the idea of that awful two sided tape was a worry, good to know it's not lurking.

Yes please.
We Vinyl freaks also need the full 12 inch LP Soundtract.

My guess is since Ultraman is almost done, TNA will take its place on the line ????

I've only activated Reactor 5 once... maybe twice.
Never destroyed it.
The game is perfect in concept and execution.
I'll never get to Reactor 9, but #62 TNA will never leave my collection.

On a sling that just keeps activating, turn off the machine take a pencil use the eraser end and press the switch back away from the rubber and hold it for 30 seconds or so, it's often a slightly misaligned switch, this method worked on my Alice Cooper, and other games.

It's a quick fix if it's only slightly miss aligned.

I always manually Plunge the ball, as soon as a ball locks, my hand is sneaking over to the plunger, i don't even notice I'm doing it.

There's an OG TNA for sale in New Jersey, its cheaper... and you can always mod it as you please.

Double check the playfield is seated, and jiggle the glass left and right.
I've had this happen on my OG TNA once or twice.
It's a little quirk of the game... mystery tightness.
