Just joined the club today. Picked mine up in pretty good shape, got a steal of a deal on it either way. Having an issue with the lower left hand flipper, when I play a game it doesn't flip when the button is pressed. The upper flipper flips tho and the right hand side both flippers are working together. When I go into the test settings all the flippers test fine for the flip, and only the upper 2 test fine for the hold. The lower flippers wont hold and when playing a game the lower left doesn't work. Any ideas what the issue could be?

Hey thanks for the input guys. I took the left side optic off and cleaned it and now it’s working. Pumped to plays some games on the machine now. One more question, I have this single connector underneath the play field that’s not connected to anything and I can’t find anywhere for it to go. Any idea what it’s for?

Awesome. Thanks

Game is working great, tons of fun!

So I put brand new batteries in my machine the other day when I got it home and it seemed like it was keeping memory but then today I turned it on and said restored factory settings. I checked the voltage of the batteries and they are all good. any ideas?

Ya it was a bit corroded when I got it. I will have a look at it. Is it worth it to just switch to the nvram? I heard it doesnt save the time and date tho. It's cool how the playfield clock shows the correct time when idle

Fair enough. I'm sold on the lithium batteries lol

I just bought a nice one that lights up from the pinside marketplace. It looks really good, can't wait to install it

i have the same mod, i couldn't get my screw tight enough so i swapped it out for a machine screw and lock nut. hasnt moved since i installed it

i also added this to my machine, looks awesome. very well made. havent had any issues of it falling off yet

where can one obtain a spiral ramp? would love to add it to my machine

Out of curiosity what was the wattage before you changed to the led bulbs?

when im playing the twilight zone and lock a ball or 2 but dont get the multi ball and the game ends the balls stay locked and when i start a new game they stay up there and i would be playing with only 1 or 2 balls in the kickout till i get the multi ball. If i turn the machine off next time i turn it on it releases the balls before i can start a game. I have a bally corvette pinball as well and if you lock the balls but dont get the multi it releases them once the game is over and they go back down to the kickout. it wont let you start a new game till all the balls are in the kickout. is there a reason why the twilight zone does not release the balls at the end of the game like the corvette machine?

also the balls dont "stage" on the magnets like some peoples do when the multi ball starts. my game only has the 2 magnets, but i have the 9.4h rom. does it not stage because i only have the 2 magnets? and if so is there anyone out there who sells a third magnet kit?

Looks like its quite a bit of work. Probably hold off on that mod for now lol

Any idea about the balls at the end of the game? Should they not release from the lock?

ya it still works correctly regardless, i just thought it was weird that the balls stayed in the lock on the twilight zone but release at the end of the game on my corvette. same manufacturer, different designers

I have also been trying to get one of these. The one martin makes is one of the nicer ones out there in my opinion. I wanted to order the gumball light kit as well as the door flasher kit and the clock led light kit that he sells. I was able to get in contact with martin and he directed me to pam (possibly his wife?) at pinbits.com I had emailed her several times and have yet to get a reply. I tried emailing martin back as well and have yet to get another reply from him. Anyone know if hes on the forum here or another way we can get ahold of him? I would really like to order these items

I purchased this one as well as a few of his other pieces (the piano, rocket ship, mini clock, camera, pyramid) and I'm happy with them. I went with the slot machine with the hole in it for the ball to pass through. Just waiting for my spiral ramp to show up and I'm going to install it all. I will post some pictures when I get it back together.

having some issues with my memory batteries. i replaced the old battery holder as the previous batteries were corroded inside it. ive put brand new lithium batteries in it but when i turn it on its still saying factory settings restored. im curious are the batteries connected in series so i should see approx 4.5v corner to corner on the holder?

awesome, thanks

i would love to buy the pinbits gumball light kit but the website says its always out of stock and i never get any replies back when i email them. has anyone had any luck contacting them?

ill give that a try next week. thanks

no thats the dazzler one i think it changes colors or something. i just want the clear/red one from pinbits, its half the price as well

i was thinking of doing that, but the pinbits one lights up the gumball machine white and then it has some red lights that come on when the load gumball is active

Finally got my spiral ramp installed. Thanks again Davi
