Im now in the TZ club! Picked one up yesterday and love it so far. Cabinet is beat up, but i'll deal with that at a later date- playfield and everything else is in great shape.

I have ordered the Flipper Fidelity Pinsound speaker kit, along with a PinSound board. Anyone running this that can chime in and let me know if its a huge different vs stock stuff? Hoping to be blown away by it.

Awesome!! I plan on using the Chris Granner DCS mix myself. I can't wait to try it out.. what an amazing pin TZ is.. been looking for a good one for over a year and finally found it.

The 3rd magnet mod looks awesome! Probably won't ever do it, but is looks killer.. should have been on all production games.

Having an issue- maybe it's common after a good cleaning and waxing as the game plays super fast after, but I'm getting a lot of rejects from the Lock shot next to the ramp. Keeps bouncing out and only makes the lock shot 1/10 times or so. Anyone know if this is a common issue or if there's a solution?

THIS.

Just played TZ then MMR back to back and it's a huge contrast as far as jackpots and their callouts go..

Anyone know why the camera artwork on the TZ playfield, and obviously the camera mods that go with it are different than the camera thats actually on the episode of TZ? Kind of weird.

This is what the camera was on the show "A most unusual camera"

Seems strange they used some other drawing of a camera with 2 lenses vs the one on the show..

Just installed the Pinsound board + Flipper Fidelity backbox speaker & sub upgrade w/ the 2.1 Stereo wiring harness. Loaded the Chris Granner remix sound file.. and wow... TZ sounds SO much better this way. I know its a pricey upgrade, but it transforms the machine.

Will do in the next week or two !

Good idea- because the startup sound is WAYYY too loud and the pots on the board need to be cranked to sound good. You can have multiple mixes on the same USB stick, right?

Agreed- I would love to try this out too!

I just loaded the Kitzrow mix and like it a lot- I think I will keep that as the default over the Chris Grennar one..

Would you like to fix your lock shot to work 100% and never bounce out again?

See my thread here on how to fix it in less than 5 minutes:

My freshly restored TZ with black powercoating, courtesy of Pat / BR80 here on Pinside. He's going to post the entire restore process on a different thread, long story short- it came out amazing!!! Love the black look.

The rails, legs, coindoor, etc were all powdercoated in a high gloss. Also, the entire machine was disassembled, cabinet fully sanded and repaired, decaled, etc etc - basically better than NIB at this point. The machine itself was an export to Germany and is a true HUO example with very little wear on the PF itself.

The rug I bought from here:

It's UV activated when using a blacklight

Also, i'd like to point out in that pic TZ is sitting next to a Jim McCune cab and HEP playfield restored MB. It would be hard to tell the difference between the restores of them and Pat/BR80's restore of my TZ unless you really broke out the magnifying glass and critiqued every detail.
