Quoted from edcianci:

This was me and while I'm not yet finished with the restore, I'm very happy with how she's turning out! What a cool game

Quoted from Jappie:

I'm intrigued by the difference in playfields between different TX-sectors. Yours has the light trapezoids, while mine has the darker ones.

Per IPDB.com:
We see three different playfields for this game, easily noticed by the brightness of the two trapezoids located between the slingshots on the lower playfield:

1) A Vitrigraph laminated playfield, such as the one in the flyer. Of the three versions, the trapezoids here are the lightest in color. The word "Vitrigraph" appears near the outhole.
2) A silkscreened playfield with lighter trapezoids.
3) A silkscreened playfield with darker trapezoids.

We asked John Trudeau if he might recall the reason for these different "versions". He replies:

I am not sure, but I believe Premier cut off the "Vitrigraph" process in the middle of the production run due to problems in the field. I think the stoppage was done in either TX Sector or Diamond Lady. I can't remember which. That would explain the differences in the colors, I believe. Other than that, I am not aware of any production color changes that were made.

There may have been a hiccup in the production of the [silkscreened] playfields. I am sure there was never a conscious effort to change the art once it was in production (that would only have incurred more cost). There could have been a screen that needed to be repaired at some point in production. And, I don't think there were any actual changes in the vendors doing the screening.

John later confirmed to us that TX Sector, Premier's 1988 'Diamond Lady', and Premier's 1987 'Victory' were the only games to have Vitrigraph playfields, a process he believes was solely developed by Premier and not used by other pinball manufacturers.

Damn, I have spent way too much money on this game. Granted, mine is a nice example (undocumented HUO) but I'm at $3500 with the new plastics I just bought. Whew! Just sayin: I definitely belong in this club. TX Tx tx tx

Quoted from Chosen_S:

does anyone know what the font is for the TX-Sector Logo, Im trying to re-created the logo to manipulate,

Have you tried "What The Font?" Sometimes that brings up close results

Here's an odd one: any idea why the voice would be missing on"TX Tx tx" at game over but not during gameplay?

Anybody got a nice LED setup going in their game? I've got mine working but I'm not crazy about the colors I've chosen. Post some pics y'all!

Quoted from 20eyes:

Have you come up with anything for GI lighting that looks good?

It's okay. I guess I was wanting to see if anyone has done some cool lighting tricks with their TX, but it seems either no one has, or is too lazy to take a picture!

TX brethren, my right ramp is REALLY difficult to hit. I don't think it's the coil power either because when it makes it, it's quite strong; if it doesn't, it's usually because it bounces too hard into the side of the ramp and comes tumbling back down. Any ideas on how to make this shot a little easier for my non-pinhead friends to make it? Thought about decreasing the incline, but I like how it plays as it sits at about 6 degrees.

Quoted from Chosen_S:

Is it worth looking into?

I have them, and yes IMO. This game tends to produce quite a few airballs (esp at the right ramp!)

Quoted from 20eyes:

alternate art?

Looking good! I think you could come up with something pretty easily that's better than the original art from Constantino.
