@ Jeep: Heck yeah man TFTC is awesome! Ive played a few though & have to admit not all played the same. Its weird because I saw this dirty one that I doubt has ever been well maintained & it was CRAZY fast, like almost breaking playfield parts. Then Ive played a shopped one that was VERY sluggish. Mine is right in the middle, thats good & bad I guess.
How the hell do they make em so fast? Maybe the unwind the coils?
PBJ or Ken do you have any insight on that?
@ Flake: Yeah dude these things break & usually its a part you can obviously see (ie a drop target or etc) & then sometimes its hidden (like a wire under the playfield came loose.....get ready to solder) & then sometimes it just doesnt make any sense at all & just sucks the life right out of you ruining several nights at home after work that would be better spent arguing with the woman about where the next machine goes.
Its not fully resolved until I solder the new switch & diode so fingers crossed!
