Hi TOTAN enthusiasts.
I own a TOTAN in a pretty good original state and wanted to replace a broken target next to the ramp close to the Genie (see picture). I bought a new one (right on the picture) with the diode already in place. Looking at the original target, I saw the diode is connected to the target on a different manner. My question is: should I connect the new target in exactly the same manner as one on the left (old) on the picture? This means that I need to re-position the diode on the new target. Your answers are highly appreciated!

Thanks Seatmandan
I decided to connect the new target exactly as the old one was connected. That is different than in your Popeye. But it works and gives no errors and was the safest way to go for me. Perhaps a member can post a picture of the wiring of this target on their TOTAN

Who can help me with this flasher problem?
All the flashers on my TOTAN are working ok except the one behind the Pegasus. I know the coin door must be closed when testing.
Connecting the flasher bulb directly to the wires of the bulb holder I eliminated a problem with the bulb holder. At the same time the flasher was not working, meaning there is no juice on these wires. Then I checked the connector under the playfield for these flashers but noticed no damage or loose wires. I don't expect it to be a problem on the driver board, otherwise I would have more problems. Has anyone had this problem before? Is my only option to "follow the wire"?

It is number 26 Jet Flashers. Two back board flashers and one blue insert on the top right side of the play field.

Great because this disk is out of stock everywhere. I prefer the original color but would order also one in the same color as the pop bumper caps (blue).

Looking forward to get some. Will these only be available through you or are these going to be distributed to different internet shops, so I can order local here in Europe?

Does anyone know where this ramp plastic goes? Can you post a picture?
Thanks in advance

Thanks Dry heat!

I think we have reached a point in time where an unrestored pinball in a well maintained state with some patina will have a higher future value than a complete restored pinball. One thing is for sure: patina games will be scarcer in time and well restored can be created any time.

Hi Rick,
Any updates about the availability of the spinning disks?

Are there any resellers of these new lamp bases in Europe?

Perhaps interesting to follow the HEP thread he is restoring a TOTAN:
