Quoted from Marvin:garbage in, garbage out. unless you go to pinsound, which has its own issues, it will sound bad.
What issues with pinsound card?
Was thinking of adding it to my TZ

Thanks for the pics Pinrob.
Does anyone have the Pingraffix pin blades installed?
Like the look of those just wondering what options for backboard decal.
Like the look of Treasure cove backboard with pyramid gumball machine door etc.
Quoted from Tranquilize:My diy art package. Led lighting above as well.

Yup, that's the one I like the best from the three options seen.
Lighting using an LED strip?
How long is it and what did you tie it into?

Quoted from Neal_W:You can adjust the guide under the rocket plastic to aim the ball at the hitchhiker shot. It is adjustable and sometimes gets knocked out of alignment.
That for horizontal alignment.
Is there anything like a washer for vertical "air balls"
Quoted from Squeakman:Madmax541 do you have one of those playfield protectors on your game? If so how is the gameplay with it and how did it fit? I am considering getting one for mine when I tear it down for cleaning soon.
Just put it in, and dialing in game.
This TZ is new to me, it replaced my players condition TZ that was really dial in.
I am just not there yet with this one, still working on it.
Most people I have talk w like them
Quoted from Pesmerga:I'll try to post the measurement, meanwhile I can say that it is a female-male normal long post, perfectly round! There is something like this under some ramp or plastic??
Right side plastic ramp, it’s a support
Quoted from Madmax541:Pzy it appears correct.
Could it be someone installed wrong spring?

Any thoughts to what could be causing the ball when launch to hit wire ball trail in middle of Playfield?
Quoted from Tranquilize:Get rid of the silly pf protector. The pf has diamond plate FFS.
Someone replaced PF and it’s not protected
Quoted from DW3000:Was it happening before the pf protector? I could see the ball potentially skipping as it hits the edge of it coming out of the rocket and getting some air. Or that the ball is being held up too high because of the protector and now the kicker hits the ball lower-down and launches it airborne.
Does it do it when it’s aimed differently? Say, when you aim it all the way left and test it at a handful of points ending at the extreme right aiming, is there a point where airballs begin or does it happen through the full range from left to right?
It seems to happen at full range of adjustments.
Thought it might of been leveling issue, PF within 0.1 degrees.
Never tried it without PF protector.
When I got game stripped pf down.
Quoted from Sammy31:I had a of protector on my TZ. Yes it caused airballs from the rocket.
Problem solved when I used a cliffy in the slot. Yes cliffy was on top of the plastic. I think the ball was hitting the edge of the plastic and getting airborne. The cliffy levelled it out.
Since then I have done a playfield swap and am not using the protector any more. Using Mylar in key areas.
Appreciate input.
What made you stop using protector?

Quoted from Coyote:After dealing with some family business, I should be back here poking my head in.
Did you ever solve this?
If not, check that the kicker arm is NOT a slingshot arm! Make sure it DOES NOT have a lip on the top of the plastic bunt that the ball rests against.
Kicker is the correct.
I believe issue is caused by PF protector with ball hitting edge of protector.
My options are to either remove protector or install a cliffy at rocket launch.

Quoted from Green-Machine:I think it looks good. You be the judge

Is that Cointaker mirror blades?
Cointaker is set in place w screws
Working on my TZ error gumball popper lane sw #51
In switch test it engages, problem is actuator is below gumball subway.
I know normal solution is bend actuator or adjust switch.
Switch is in fixed location due to screws no adjustment of switch position
This switch was working before, pretty dam sure it was, have had this game 12 ++ years
Thoughts before I damage actuator, am I missing something?

Quoted from Dalinar:Appreciate some thoughts
Debating buying a TZ table (big fan) but new to owning pinball and only have a new stern. My worry is that the repairs will be beyond me very quickly, but I am willing to learning (technology background but not mechanical/electrical).
So bottom line wondering if I am setting myself up for a world of pain even if what I buy is well maintained.
I learned pinball repair on my TZ, pinside great for assistance and direction to look at issues.
If you have known good working boards switch test is your best friend
