New additions to pinball collection TZ and Big guns

Post by Gman »

A guy on the RGP forum ran into some legal problems and needed to sell his pins to get a lawyer. I bought Twilight Zone, and Big guns last night. two fun machines.
The TZ is the top rated machine on IPDB.org and has been for a few years.
It needs a few things either replaced or adjusted but it plays OK it has a row of GI lights out (general illumination) and a couple of switches reporting out from the test menu.
This is complex and very heavy wide body machine. My pathfinder squatted down a bit after we loaded it. I have replacement plastics and ring kit from the seller plus factory manual, in english.

The big guns is an early SS game but ahead of its time. it has 2 cannons that fire the ball across the play field and are caught by the habitrails and sent back to the flippers. REAL FAST! it has a multiball mode, and a working bagatelle in the back glass for extra ball chance. The first time I played it it was great. 4 flippers mini PF with knock down guards, a few skill shots. It has a straight forward rule set (better for inexperienced players) make this a quick to learn and fast playing machine.
I have a NOS translight with it. It is in very nice condition. Collectors quality. 8.5 out of 10
