Quoted from McSquid:Can someone take a picture of their power input connector that goes from the power in/aux/switch box to their transformer? Mine looks like it's been (poorly) worked on on the box end and only has 2 of the 9 pins populated. Is this connection supposed to have loopbacks for more surface contact?[quoted image][quoted image]

After 2-3 minutes it is impossible to reboot in this way.
Any ideas?
I had this problem with a Road Show. For me it turned out to be a cracked solder joint on one of the flipper coil lugs. Reflowing the solder worked for me. Might be an easy thing for your friend to rule out.
Quoted from Barr993:In the midst of my first under ramp cleaning, is this plastic supposed to be bent like this?
[quoted image]
Definitely bent for the reason that Coyote mentioned. Ball can get stuck.
Quoted from Yesh23:I haven’t seen this board in other twilight zone machines and just curious if somebody could tell me what it is used for?[quoted image]
Ya, it's a "piggy" board to provide the high power to the DMD when the high power fails on the DMD controller board. It's a plug and play fix....
Quoted from Adipocere:LED question: should I be using actual red LEDs under the red inserts? I’ve tried both warm and cool white LEDs but both just give a sort of washed out look that doesn’t do the inserts justice. Thoughts?
I always color match my inserts but use white for my yellow and orange inserts. I’ve used white for reds, blues and greens before but like color matched better. I also use frosted domed LEDs but that’s personal preference
Quoted from McSquid:Is the bigger square one not used?
My game only uses the small one near the ball gate.

Quoted from Parker_tz:On my twilight Zone I have a 3 slot coin door. The coin door mech closest to the lock gets stuck on the lock down reciviver yellow lever when the lever is flipped in the open position and you close the coin door. Is their any way to stop it from getting stuck because every time it happens I have to lift the playfield and fiddle the lock down reciver lever out of the coin slots. Is my coin door the wrong one does this happen to two slot coin doors? Is this normal on Williams WPC games?[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
A 3 slot coin door on WPC games is common for European games or maybe not original to a domestic game. In order to avoid the issue, you need to get used to sliding the lever to the right when you remove the lock bar if you intend to close the coin door with lock bar off.
