I upgraded the powerfield with cold white LEDs under the star posts.
Added warm white LEDs behind the two signs.
GLM switches.
Clear lexan cover under the playfield
Blue LED under playfield that shines on the Hitchhiker guy.
Ehhh... and a some more things I forgot right now.

Replaced translite glass with bestofpinball anti-glare sheet, behind a next gen translite and NoFlix LEDs.
Also a RGB LED strip behind Rod Sterling, it looks freakin awesome but could not get the awesomeness on the picture though.

One bummer of the the awesome translite is the extreme glare on the playfield glass
(got anti glare filter on the DMD btw)

Hmmm... how can I fix this Translite glare on my playfield glass?
Don't want to dim the light of the backbox...

I've used this LED:
http://www.pinballcenter.eu/catalog/t10-noflix-plus-blue-superflux-p-399.html?language=english
LED is soldered on two extended wires, so you can bend it the way you like

I also got the Ingo board and the Laretrotienda piano

It doesn't fit perfectly without modification.
There's a gap between the clock (in front of the right bottom screw) and the top of the piano.
It's stays firm enough under the clock though, so I left it this way.

I don't see your 'hour hand' installed.
So it cannot register the hours, even if your motor works.

My bridge diverters sometimes throwes the ball behind my spiral sign and it gets stuck
Happened a few times now, so I bend a small piece of 1mm lexan, screwed it on a bracket en onto the mini playfield.
This should prevent the ball getting stuck there

Also when I play in the dark, the area between the lower flippers is very dark.
Added a spotlight (with tie wraps on the rail... ) with cold white LED shining in the middle of the flippers.
Works perfect

Some of you guys are going to hate me for this, but I applied new (cheap, not original) decals over my old (faded and damaged) decals
Also without removing the playfield and putting the cabinet on the side etc.

Why? Because I don't have the space, tools and time to do so currently.
And old decals were ugly and I needed to get it look better, so I tried this "easy" way

I also got new original decals (with correct color scheme) in stock, I hope sometime in my life, I have the time to do a full renovation of my TZ.
Then I'll apply the decals the right way

But for now, this turned out pretty good luckily!
Some minor imperfections, but waaaay better looking than with old decals.
I did fill the deep scratches/holes with bondo and sanded it by the way.
At the legs I didn't fill it up, because I'm using leg protectors, so you can see that on the picture.
I was afraid the old decal would shine through, but that's not the case woohoo.

OH and to get the two big bolts out from the side of the cabinet, I lifted the playfield a bit with a bunch of tape rolls
Just had to work with the stuff I got.

And I replaced the siderails with shiny black ones, and black leg+bolts+leveler.

Thanks
I'm going to do the left side and backboxes this weekend, yesterday just done the right side

It was due to my skills
It's my first time applying a sticker this big and I was alone.
Really sucks to do it alone, because the cabinet is straight up, I have to place the decal "vertically".
I taped the decal on place and while getting the backpaper off and sticking the decal, the tape sometimes got loose and the whole decal fell over my head and that kind of stuff.
Really struggling on the floor, holding the decal, trying to straighten it and stick it without airbubbles yesterday
So I got a few airbubbles (got most of them invisible by releasing the air with a small needle).

A real hassle to do it alone, NOT recommended.
I will have this weekend my girlfriend holding the decal, that should make it easier

*edit*
I make it as smooth as possible underneath.
Filled and sanded the deep scratches and holes.
You can't see it's two layers, unless you get REALLY close and shine a bright flashlight on it.

Applied the decals on the left side and front.
This time with help, should have waited with the right side till I got help.
MUUUCH easier this way, we applied the decals much faster and with no bubbles at all this way.

Also replaced the coin door, new shooter with white ball, and the front black legs mounted.

I'm so happy with the personolized looks

Finished, now I can finally play

I only have to fix a topper to make it complete

And fix my Ingo clock board problem (Ingo, please check your mail, send you couple of e-mails with no reply yet).

IMG_2452.JPG

I also got the lighted starposts on my mini playfield.
Looks really great.
But quite some hassle to get get the cables organised.
I didn't have the GLM interfaceboard, so soldered the wires to the mini playfield GI lamp wire.
And the GND wires of the LEDs to the mass of the mini playfield flasher.
Mine star posts now flashes with the mini playfield flashers

While I was at it, I also put two LEDs behind the magna field signs, looks great in my opinion.
(in the photo you see a hotspot of the LED, but in real life it isn't that bad and whole sign lits up)

Thanks!

My bulb in the Spiral sign comes loose after a while due to vibration.
I fixed it by fixing another problem, see my post here:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/twilight-zone-owners-club/page/19#post-2485142

The inner plastic part is pushing against the back of the lamp holder, so it won't come loose now

Currently I have a black powder coated lock bar, but my side rails are shiny black.
I still have my old silver lockbar.
So I tried to put black shiny car wrap over my silver lock bar:

IMG_2477.JPG

Looks pretty cool

Gotta rewrap though, it pretty difficult to wrap around the corners.

The powerball stays in play, untill a player shoots it in the gumball machine again. So it doesn't "auto load" the powerball.
Did you check if all wires are OK to the coindoor board?
Maybe a wire is not doesn't make good contact in the IDC connector for example.

Got my hands on an Invader figure.
It was in bad shape, no more gold but almost totally green.
But now restored in nice gold color, also put a blue LED in his weapon, put it on a clear plexi sheet and put a white LED strip behind it (so the edges light up).
Very happy with my topper

I can recommend NoFlix LEDs from pinballcenter. Got no ghosting or flickering, so no LED OCD needed

I haven't got a reply yet also. Ingo, could you please also check my mail / PM? Thanks.

I printed and lasercut some stickers for my coindoor

Check it out:

And remove the front film:

Yes, I'll send you a PM

I got a Cliffy gumball protector left, you can have it for 12$ shipping by letter post included

It's indeed to protect the corner of the wood from the balldrop from mini playfield.
So slide it all the way down and it will protect the area where the ball will hit the playfield.
My playfield already got some wear and the protector covers it now.

Finally got Lost in the Zone last night, what a great feeling xD

I'll be installing this TZ topper this week

TWZ-3D LED Topper real ON-96dip-900px (resized).jpg

The DMD problem might be caused by a bad DMD controller board, I had a similar problem but a bit worse
Check my topic here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/dmd-cloudy

PinSound is awesome!
I mixed the Legacy, Tim_Kitzrow and jints56 soundpacks to the following:

(old movie clip though, I have updated some sounds and volumes)

That picture is from my machine xD
But got the small metal protector indeed from Cliffy
