Quick question:
I’m looking at possibly buying my first TSPP. While the pin is for sure HUO, it has nearly 5000 plays on it. Should that give me pause or given difficulty of this game, is it less worrisome? I guess what I’m asking is are there plenty of these out there with 5000+ games on them or is that a really high number? Thanks
Quoted from atrainn:Mine has 36,000 plays and looks great. Given the age and popularity of this game you'll be hard-pressed to find one with low plays. Also, ignore that backwards nuclear tower plastic. I shopped and replaced rubbers last night and took this picture before I realized it was backwards .

One more question... I just learned that the owner has not replaced the batteries in this game since buying it 16 years ago. Is TSPP one that’s prone to battery damage if they’re not changed? Thanks
Quoted from cjchand:For reliability or fun?
Reliability is mainly around the couch weld fix. Search for it in this thread, but Pinball Life and others carry it.
IMHO, ColorDMD is a must. This pin is perfect for ColorDMD.
For fun, that’s entirely subjective, but this thread might help: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/simpsons-pinball-party-mod
In the less critical realm, I recently picked up an LEDOCD board for mine and I’m glad I did. LEDs in Whitestar era games can be a stuttery mess. The LEDOCD smooths them out to look similar to incandescents, growiing bright and dim smoothly.
Regardless of your choices, I’m sure you’ll love it. Look back in this thread for my visual representation of the rules. There’s a lot to digest with TSPP.
I was thinking more for fun, but really appreciate the schooling in the reliability side as well. Will look into the couch weld fix for sure.
One problem I’ve already noticed is the school bus kickout seems to bounce off the rail and go right back into the saucer. I haven’t adjusted the back legs so not sure if a little steeper angle will fix this. Anyone else seen this and know the fix? I searched it but didn’t find anything.
Thanks, and thanks pinkitten for the mod advice as well.

Quoted from D-Gottlieb:This is addressed in the latest code. What version are you running?
Running 4.0, but just ordered 5.0 rom set. So the new code adjusts the strength of the saucer kickout?
