Wanted

These are no longer available. I know there are people out there who bought this and never installed it because they didn't want to drill a big hole in their playfield! I would love to pay to take one of these kits off your hands.

Bump! Seriously there are none of these around?

Seems like this might be a good product for some mod maker to start producing again? I would make some and sell them out of my own pinside store, but I really don't have a lot of time to perfect this to the level that Martin did back in the day for Pinbits. At this point if I have to make my own kit, I may do a limited run to sell...

I came to post this same wanted ad. LOL I read in the TZ forum the sort of step by step of how to do it, and what to buy....but for some reason a "kit" sounds better and I knew there was one sold not that long ago on here. Good luck.

Yeah the kit that Martin sold from Pinbits was simpler than DIY. My TZ is playing sweet right now and I have other projects, so no hurry. I'll probably wait a while and do the DIY if I don't turn up a kit with this ad.

Well.... If you turn up 2 kits, I need one. Lol

There is an unopened PinBit TZ third magnet kit for sale on the KLOV forums under the pinball for sale section.

I went digging around my "TZ in a tote" the other day looking for something. I think it was the ball trough proximity sensor and board for reproduction. I did find something else though.

I bought this YEARS ago and my 3rd magnet TZ is still in a tote. It's been that way for about 4-5 years now. Pretty sad. I bought this kit because at that time, I didn't know anything about the electrics and wanted a kit. Nowadays, I'm not so intimidated by the electrics. The drilling of the ball guides is what is intimidating to me.

The biggest thing with this kit that is not easy to build yourself is the template. I don't know much about how one would go about making (or duplicating) the template. Perhaps a plastics store would be able to duplicate it.

The template could be scanned and 3D printed?

Probably. I don't know much (if anything) about plastics or 3D printing.

I have a co-worker that has a laser and I have a kit I have yet to use. Won't be able to look at things for another month or two. Will look at things if I remember

If someone can send a hi-res photo of the templates with a (preferably metric) ruler in the picture, I could probably generate SVG files for the templates that could be laser cut. If people wanted stl files for 3d printing, I could generate those as well, though I’d expect laser cutting to be preferable.
