Alright folks, I’m going into the 3rd week of owning this game. I’m learning as I go. Thanks for the input everyone

I got some new opto boards on the way and a fliptronics board along with new flipper kits and coil (left flipper and right flippers are super weak. The ball barley goes past mid playfield on the left flipper side).

In the meantime I installed my color dmd as recommended. Wow!! That’s all I have to say.

This game is a keeper.

How to u set the clock I don't see anywhere that let's u set it in the menu thanks

Same question here.....

My bet is that’s the wrong type of post and/or fixing underneath. I had all sorts of fun getting mine out, because it was threaded and wobbling/loose, then replacing it to avoid any protrusion under there as it’s an obvious ball trap.

I replaced the post and t-nut - both knackered & threaded. i *think* it's a 02-4195 Mini Post with #6-32 T-Nut thread, but do your own homework if required.

Your washer looks slightly larger than the one in my TZ. I have never had a ball stuck there. I would check your level side to side.

Set the system time (menu U:4).
Decide what style 24hr vs am/pm (menu A1:22).
Decide if you want the DMD to show time in attract mode (A1:24).
Decide if you want the mechanical clock to show time in attract mode (A2:32).

Note the system time won't run when the game is switched off if you use NVRAM - it gets frozen in time and only runs when the power is on.

Hey TZ owners ... I've been having a ton of fun making these new products, so here's one for you:

There are plain old original stock coin reject buttons ... then there are aftermarket coin reject buttons with flat 2-D patterns -- I'm taking it to the next dimension with these new 3-D Coin Reject Buttons!

These eye-catching buttons literally pop out at you! They're 3D-printed with multiple filaments, featuring the ominous floating door from the show's opening credits, modeled so that a thin crack around the door's perimeter allows some eerie light through.

Available on my website (https://rocketcitypinball.com) or in my shop here on Pinside (https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1282-rocket-city-pinball/04833-3d-coin-reject-buttons-twilight-zone). (My daughter gets a commission too; these 3D buttons were her idea!)

Installation instructions posted in the shop listing. Note: please check your game before ordering -- this button replaces P/N 27-1037 button & 27-1038 cover. Some TZ games may have different buttons (e.g., reimports, swapped coin doors, etc.), so compare to my pictures to be sure this is the correct one for yours (button is separate piece from slot).

Oh damn just when I thought I was finish with mods fir this one lol

So I bought my tz from a friend that changed everything out in the old one new cabinet new playfield only thing he did not change was wiring harness ofcourse all new switches solenoids etc.... interlock door he couldn't find I bought the braket and the switch can anyone show me a pic of theirs I cant figure out how to wire it in thanks

Anyone know how many of each bulb type is required in TZ? Going to order bulbs and avoiding the kits to save a few bucks.....

Finally got my grail machine it was brought over by a container from Germany water damage to cabinet long story short new everything now just a few tiny bugs to work out

Does anybody have a switch like this on there's with this 2 wires

.

In addition to what others have said, it could be that the plastic subway's edge is not lining up with the edge of the metal scoop. (I had this issue after reassembling my TZ.) A couple ways to fix it if this is the case - loosen screws on the metal scoop and move it, or loosen the screws on the subway to align it better. Or, like in my case, I had to heat the subway up some and reform it. (My subway was a replacement, not OEM.)

First: Note that only the last handful of TZ's off the line had an high-power interlock. (Your second switch there.) All had a 'Coin Door Open' switch.
Second: Without a better picture and context (where those wires go), there's not much we can do to help. That plug could go to: (1) Plumb Bob, (2) Slam Tilt on the cabinet bottom, (3) Start Button, (4) Coin Door Open switch. It LOOKS like it is a Green-Yellow, which makes NO sense because that color is PF only. The other one looks friggin' ORANGE, which makes less sense. With the connectors crimped to the end, it is possible they're the Coin Door switch (sw 22), but without tracing the wires and finding out, it's a fuckin' guess.

The guy I got it from had some switch he would unplug and plug back in I bought the cherry switches and braket it looks like those 2 wires are going to that plug in the picture

The wires to coin door work the coin door is new the plumb work on going to try and find out from him what kind of thing he had he was physically plugging in and unplugging before I got the right switches

Great any way u can get a pic of the back side that's exactly what I have on mine

Also have one more crazy bug to work out every once in awhile or will lose a ball and I noticed I had not seen the power ball in awhile ejected all the balls 5 pinballs game out can not find the power ball it's not in the gumball machine and the trough is empty looked in the bottom of the cabinet any ideas or anyone ever had this happen I looked in all the subways under the playfield a d nothing

How bout the little scoop lock behind the right ramp? (Feeds the upper flipper)

That's what it was now working fine last thing is the buy in button stopped working when I raised the playfield to look for the ball the wires are all there nothing hit it

Fixed it thanks alot

Cool, what caused the buy in issue?

Dont know I reset the game and it works fine now the only issue I have left is the door open wires on the switch awesome 1 pic is exactly what I have and his wires are the same color once I see how the back side of his switch is I should be done game is great grail game and everything in is new

Is this what you’re looking for?

That's it I have the same wires as u must be the wrong switch I ordered cause when I hook them up no matter what way it doesnt work

Found the exact one on Marco with 2 prongs I'm going to order that one

Switch should be normally open with door open and closed (like joining the wires) with the coin door closed.
Your current switch should allow that. One wire on NO, the other on common.

I joined the crew Dec 18th. Funny thing, i've played TZ a fews time in the past; and i thought the game wasnt anything special. Was I every wrong, this one grows on you like a fine wine. Gets better the more you play it.

Quick question. Back left corner by the gumball machine, most machines show 3 rows of flashers. Mine only has 2, missing the top one. With a clear piece of plastic over it. I figured someone removed it and covered. I've now gone through the machine several times (fixing all issues), but I cant find any wiring that would go to a third flasher. So what am i missing, and where would the third wire being sourced from?

Here’s a picture of a back up I have

That helps, can you take a picture of the connectors? Is one 2, and the other 4? I guess I assumed i would see (3) 2 pin connectors. Thx!

Thank You! That helps immensely. I've got all the connectors. Someone poped 2 pins out.

You’re welcome. Glad I could help

Anyone have a spare set of plastics to sale?

http://www.planetarypinball.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=PPS-31-1765-COMP

Thanks. Only place I have seen with them in stock.

I have some new and some used but not a whole set.

I just PM'd you. Thanks

Have another issue slot machine scoop so very very weak amd ever so often it will not come out at all the game will go into find mode firing all solenoids and after about 5 minutes ball will come dribbling out

If anyone has a need for a replacement mini-playfied lamp shoot me a message. I have a spare to part with. It is the standard stock model with bulb lights. Everything is still fully assembled and would be a simple plug n' play solution.
