TNA Trades Welcomed +/- Cash! Stern, EM, 2 for 1, Early SS, System 11.

Trades strongly preferred (wants below)

Extras/Options:

Lit side rails

Reactor Pop Bumper Mod

Mirror Blades

Target Decals

Shaker

Knocker

Keychain

Pingulp Not Included

Condition:

Cabinet: 9.5/10. There are 3 nickel size blemishes in the cabinet head, 2 on the left side and one on the right. You can’t see it in the lineup, but they are there. See photos. The blemishes are very light and it is hard to describe. The decals are made with some sort of laminate material over them, and the scuff is only in the laminate over the decal.

Playfield: 9.9/10. Very light wear in the shooter lane, see photos. Nothing for 99% of people and if you can’t see it in the photo who cares.

Gameplay/repairs: Game has been very solid since I have had it. I repaired 1 RGB LED and had to solder one of the wires connecting to the upper flipper. I fine tuned the in line drops that were sticking but they all work now. Occasionally the first drop won’t lower when hit lightly, but that is something that can be fine tuned. It has crashed on me one time requiring a hard reboot on the driver board, but that is a 2 minute job if you know what to do.

Free future unreleased code updates!

This machine is running the latest code (1.4.2) but expect there to be new features and code released in the next year or so. Danesi (the designer) has announced he is working on TNA 2.0, and that when it releases he will release new code for the old machines (like this one) and the new ones that are fully backwards compatible. See this article: https://www.thisweekinpinball.com/updates-for-deeproot-haggis-homepin-punny-factory-interview-with-scott-danesi-spooky-pinball-podcast-ends-gnr-price-increase-john-borg-trolls-twip-2-8-21/

Scott Danesi: I have some big things planned for when TNA gets rerun. So I have been working on the software. And when TNA rerun happens, I am going to launch code for that game which is also backwards compatible with existing machines. Everyone wins…the TNA games that come out, the remake ones are going to be wired the same way, they will have the same computers in them. They will be as same as possible to the originals, because I want the code to run on [both].

Trades/wants: I pretty flexible on trades, and can accommodate up to 2 pins +/- cash in a deal. Star Wars, Musters, Dialed in, and Monster Bash at top of list for the kiddos. Barring that I am interested in clean early Solid State pins including Paragon, Sea Witch, Blackout, Black Hole, Sorcerer, and Space Shuttle but am open to others. System 11 games like Black Knight 2000, Earthshaker, Pinbot, and Funhouse. I may accept up to one Gottelieb Wedgehead from 1973 onwards with extra credit to Ship Ahoy, Card Whiz, and Target Pool as part of a 2 pin deal. I would entertain Spike 2 Pros and Premiums including Star Wars Comic, Star Wars, and Munsters. The only older Sterns I would consider are Stern Star Trek Premium/Le, LOTR, and Game of Thrones. Dialed In, Monster Bash, The Addams Family, and South Park are on the list too. If you are drunk I would accept a straight trade for a JJP Pirates CE or GNR CE. I also like pinball backglasses, unpopulated playfields with good art, and arcade marquees as wall hangers as partial trade items. Let me know what you have. Worst I can say is no!

Game is in a walk out basement with a grassy hill to the road so I can’t do a trade in the ice or snow (like this weekend). I am in Crofton Maryland inbetween Baltimore, Washington, and Annapolis. You are welcome to try out the rest of my games. If you are making a day trip of it Crabtown USA is 20 minutes away and has 30+ pins and MOMs Organic Market is 30 minutes away and has 40 plus pins. I can complete the trade as early as 2/22 but there is snow on the ground as I am posting this.

If you’ve made it this far thanks for reading my essay!
