Welcome to pinside! sorry to hear about the issues your having.

Starting a thread is a great start. I would also post a note (with a link to this thread) over in the TZ owners thread here:

For the J133 issue, I would just follow the wires and see if something is loose/shorted/etc. You can search J133 in the manual to see the schematic: https://www.ipdb.org/files/2684/Bally_1993_Twilight_Zone_Operations_Manual_OCR_searchable.pdf

For the flippers being stuck up, does it happen as soon as you power up the machine? Makes me think transistor, but others who are more knowledgeable than myself will chime in I'm sure. Link to another thread with similar issues: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/helpflipper-stuck-up

Start with the obvious. Check all the fuses and see if any are blown. If not, like LTG mentioned, check for power to the flipper opto boards:

http://www.coinoperatorshop.com/media/products/manual/pinball/Bally_1993_Twilight_Zone_Manual-gb.pdf

Page 3-25 has the details on how power/connections gets to those boards. J905 on the Fliptronic board and J116 on the power driver board.

Check that first and let us know what you find.
