Twilight Zone
Bally, 1993Quoted from davewtf:good luck. i miss mine almost as much as i miss my afm... At least i know a bunch of people with TZ, so it doesn't hurt so bad. lol. First world problems. Why do i say that when i hate it so much when others say it?
bet you dont miss the drywall screw hole... damn morons and drywall screws...
Quoted from ShinyBall:Actually more the one would think. But, I'm not telling.
Edit:
Well one of them is this guy..since it's already been brought up.
(but, me and DB62) are keeping him under wraps.

I know they are out there as they didn't do well on route . There are alot of nice ones but some have fade and other issues or just dirty I literally could eat off the inside and even still has all original boards and dmd and clock board isnt even chared anyway im really proud to own such a iconic pin in awesome original condition .just put in white clock face with rgb color changers and wow it looks supef sweet really adds another dimension (see what I did there)

I know that "proud feeling" that you describe. Glad you are enjoying it..
Even though I don't necessarily approve of your eating habits 
Hope Hwawonyu doesn't mind I post this in his thread, but I'm looking for one as well. Except I'm looking for an all-out project, in fact the more work it needs the better (and priced accordingly). So actually I'm looking for the complete opposite, something to really challenge myself and do an all-out restore on and keep long-term.
I used to own a really nice early production example and sold it back in '06, sure miss it!

Forgot about it completely. It didn't make it any less enjoyable to play by any stretch of the imagination. I know what you mean, though.
Same situation here. Hated the game when it came out, hated it when I got into the hobby, and then started to play it at PAPA and a collectors place and it finally "clicked" early 2014 and I finally got what makes it so great.
The right one will turn up soon. It took me a few weeks and after a post like this someone decided to part with one that was really nice for a good price.
Quoted from patrickvc:I love these as well. Perfect pair
They sit side by side at my house, too. (Along with STTNG, my other Williams widebody. What a great era.)
There a nice one in nj, guess about 4 hrs from you. Very nice PF.

Quoted from DCfoodfreak:Thanks he won't let me navl though . Nice one though
Drive and get it, he's very close to silverball museum, which is worth the drive in itself. I'm on the way too, stop here and I'll feed you, And you can play a few games.
Quoted from shacklersrevenge:I paid $2500 for my basket case TZ recently.
clipped wires, missing random plastics, missing 2 magnets, cpu was junk, dmd controller bad, ramp melted, etc...
A little elbow grease, tracking down of parts, adding new boards, and it's a helluva good player. I'm probably in it for at least $3500 but I don't believe more than 4k.
While the rules may not be crazy, they are complete, and the sounds and overall package is hard to beat.
I've been around the world with all the pins and know what I like by now, so TZ I plan to keep for the long haul. It's just a great pin that to this day can still go up against any of the new pins.
Oh man, you did really well here. This is how I'd like to get into a TZ eventually...
Quoted from billsfanmd:Have no idea how PL got that game past the bean counters. Cant imagine how much it would cost to make one now.
I think after the massive success of TAF Pat had carte blanche from the management.
And TZ DID sell massively, based upon the success of TAF for ops and how super sweet TZ looked.
From what I understand the game was very unreliable on location (we all know about the clock issues) and also too complicated for players so it wasn't the huge success ops wanted. And even if it did sell for Bally/Williams long-term I don't think it did them any favors.
