Finally Glad to be a member now.
My second Pinball TSPP.
First Pin Tommy.
Just picked up TSPP a couple of days ago.
Playfield is in good condition, but the plastics are a bit beat up.
Got a bit of work ahead of me cleaning it up. Can’t wait to get modding as well.
Everything seems to be working and dialled in well though. Came with LEDs installed but no OCD board. And some of them need to be changed to different colour or brightness.
Anything I will need to keep an eye on and any info good parts to have as spares. Have a couple of mods ordered and didn’t forget the Kwick-E-Mart decal. Don’t know when it was made, as sticker has faded.
Much appreciated.

Nice looking machine. Yellows Body Armour looks great.

Hi
I ordered the aliens mod from your eBay store.
Any chance it hasn’t been sent yet and this can be added.
Was being shipped to Australia.
Thanks

Wow. Nice work. Can’t wait to hear it and see it in action.

Agree. The music does get a bit repetitive and I have only had the machine a week.
My only other machine is Tommy which has 21 songs in it. I never seem to get bored of that.
More music/tunes would be awesome.
Maybe adding some Simpsons songs they have done especially Mr Burns’ “See my loafers made of gofers” etc.

I recently purchased a TSPP. Have pulled the play field apart and have it a good clean. Have got a bunch of new parts on order. Cliffys etc.
is it worthwhile going further and touching up the shooter lane and I and S home and then clear coating. Will be doing it myself.see before and after pics. Anything else I should do while it is apart.
Much appreciated
Thanks

Is it better to also clear coat all the metal parts ramps and loops etc that I have cleaned and polished to prevent tarnishing again.

I have just given them a good clean and polish.

Wow. What a difference. Fantastic job on doing the pin sound.

Definitely on my list of mods now.
Will support your cause when I save for the pinsound.
The dollar Exchange rate and postage Is a killer to Australia. As I will be looking at a colour DMD as well.

Hi after some help.
The mode leds on the Alien invasion, Homers days Etc.
i Have one that has blown and not working. can you buy the small triangle led from somewhere. I see Marco haBe the whole board but out of stock and has been for a while.
Anyone have the leds or board for sale? Or know of where one is?
Thanks

Very mice indeed.
Any wait to get one for mine. Looks so good.

I wasn’t so keen on homers massive head. So I made up my own set up that I am happy with. I used Bowling Homer just for some shirt colour. Can easily swap out for original Homer or other characters.
And a pic of my machine.

I would definitely be interested in buying one.

I painted mine along with the couch, ramp switch holder, spinner, all hex post etc anything else that was satin black. Painted in a purple.
Done a few other mods whilst I was at it.

Nice. Is that a bowling ball ripper on Simpsons.

It has been almost a year. All the painted and powder coated(yellow monorail and ramps and all external parts. All parts are holding up really well. No chipping. I thought I might have had an issue on the garage door, but no paint has come away. Bart is sliding along nicely.
I used Dulux Dura max in a can. Also I used an automotive gloss clear coat over the top(not 2 pac just in a can) At least 3 coats of each minimum was applied. Probably only 2 cans of each.

Nice. Might have to get myself a pinsound. Definitely good for a change up. How many different sets can you have saved on the pinsound and how easy to switch between them.

Just realised you can play team modes with the scoring. It just totals up players 1 and 3 Team 1
And then players 2 and 4 as Team 2

As I never really play with too many others around and lockdowns.

Both flipper buttons pushed I then pushed start.

Yeah both flipper buttons and start.
Didnt try to see if it done it automatically.

Enjoy. Such an amazing machine. Welcome to the club.

Just added an OLD led kit. Wow what a difference to the light show. So much better.
I have a manual but I have a light issue. Can someone take a pic of there J12 connector. I think I am missing a wire but can’t seem to find a loose or broken one anywhere. I know there is one slot with no wire but I seem to have 2 slots and my upper playfield light all stay on.
My machine was pretty rough when I got it so the wiring colour stripes have all faded or almost gone. So it’s hard to tell which goes where.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

I just hooked mine straight up to the pin. No Problems and happy with it.

I just cut mine to size.
And it is a tight fit. Not mounted with anything It doesn’t move at all.
If you have the wood blocks to wee. I just removed mine. No issues. Just stapled in.
The love machine is just velcroed for easy removal when lifting playfield

Looks great
Is the install easy?
Any modifications required?

Thanks

A big price difference here in Oz. $350 pin2dmd compared to Colordmd delivered close to $1k. On the Simpsons I would prefer a colordmd LCD but I will do with a Pin2DMD due to costs and ease of supply.
