Re: Just picked up my first pinball machine

What pin is it?
You should definitely remove batteries first( if any) and check the board for leakage.
Lots to check before even attempting power up.

Re: TFTC shaker motor

TFTC is a data east pin…
None of those shakers will work.

Re: The TZ Price Quiz......

You have to count gas to go get it! So Tom454 went over... like the price is right, it is the closest price without going over, so my guess of 10,300 was closer!

Re: Centaur ][

Don’t forget, for the Queen’s Chamber, the ball should be a bingo ball... slightly larger than a regular pinball.
See post 614 here:

Would be cool if you could find a black one.
