According to this web-site -> http://www.flippers.be/basics/101-interlock_switch.html, the Interlock switch was introduced "somewhere during the production run of the Twilight Zone pinball machine". Is it possible that my machine is an early production model without an Interlock circuit?  I have never seen the message "Coin door is open Coils and Flashers are disabled" on the DMD when the coin door is open, and according to that same web-site, "You can also see it's installed, the difference is that now there are 2 switches left inside the cabinet that the coin door closes. Older games only had one switch.". My machine only has 1 switch

That's what threw me the when you first asked about the solenoids not working. TZ should have two - but you have one. I'd say that you are correct - If you do not see the message and do not have the switch, then your machine does not have the interlock capability !

So if you put your machine on eBay - You CAN mention it is the "RARE" TZ 

I thought mine was RARE as it has only one interlock sw and doesn't display anything on the screen when door opened. Hmmm maybe not that rare anymore (must cancel that ebay ad)

But I do have a rare rfm with half its lights out!!!!
