More progress.  Just waiting on new ramp flaps to arrive then it will be ready to be completed.  Few little odds and ends today after a long meeting with some other industry figures..

Small item that often gets over looked and is probably outside the general 'shopout' but I stripped and cleaned the lock down bar receiver and re-dipped the handle.



Playfield with most plastics back in place (all brand new)





Just waiting on some new vinyl cover clips then the mini pf will be done and dusted.


Last of the mods.  Thanks to a good mate for supplying this one!

Finished...Well just waiting on a part for a PCB but otherwise everything tested and working well.

Overall I'm quite happy with how the game turned out and will make a great game for someones collection, and at least between $1500 to $3000 cheaper than those on eBay!

With - brand new clear plastic ramp from http://www.RTBB.com.au
All new playfield plastics, rubbers, globes (each and every one is new), plastic posts.  Full flipper rebuild (x 4 - inc new flipper bats), each and every mech rebuilt, NEW coil sleeves, new ramp flaps, new clock PCB.  Plays very fast and snappy!

Well done Marty. Looks like a great machine that someone has the opportunity to add to their collection. I'm glad you went with the white rubbers.

Hi Pete,

I cannot be 100% certain where the sign came from, but I believe it was http://www.pinballdecals.com/TZModPage.html

I think there is one available for Funhouse but they've got lots of other cool mods for other games.

Really top job and super photos *%*

Now, having seen your excellent work, I'm doubly keen to give my TZ a birthday.
Been adding mods, toppers etcetera and generally skirting around the big job.
Now it will be the first cab off the rank in the workshop . . .

Cheers
