And the epic 'Jackpot' display and callout always got people looking in the arcade with the sound cranked up
Sound cranked up - THIS IS ESSENTIAL.
The Humvee of games. Sterns feel a bit 'Dacia' by comparison.

So I've decided to keep hold of this for now. I've been playing it quite a bit and I am starting to enjoy it more. Not as much as I used to but enough for a stay of execution at least.
This particular machine is one of the early runs. So it has the white clock face. But it also has the posts and rubber in the pop bumper area. These were later taken out and all later TZ playfields had the 2 holes plugged with little plastic stopper thingies. My old machine was a later run model.
Anyway, because I am more used to playing on a TZ without these posts, having them there kind of feels like cheating. You certainly get less bumper drains. But it takes away a lot of the drama too. I mean, you can actually go for the skill shot if you fancy it!
I don't know...... I might take them out. What do you fellow TZ players reckon?

Yup, it's almost on par with listening to Pink Floyd, I hide all short lengths of rope and sharp objects before playing mine, I even have the number for Samaritans taped to the lockdown bar, still a keeper though
I never had a problem with left hand outlane drains on standard production TZ and I have had a few. So for me Dean remove the rubber and post and be a devil.
Go on dean live the dream!!
Yeh..... go on do it, you Devil you.

Dare I though? Dare I live the dream?
Anyone know where I can get the plastic stopper thingies from? That is the technical term for them I believe.

I used to drain quite often from the pops if memory serves. Then again, I was a lot ****ter at pinball back then and didn't nudge and shove the machine around as much as I do now.

My TZ doesn' t have the extra pop rubbers and tbh I never felt it was that drainy ...certainly not to the level that people seem to gripe about. Suspect different machines behave differently.

I remember that I use to avoid the skill shot so it must have been a bit drainy. Not a problem with the cheaty posts there though!
I have heard it's free beer over the Slam weekend all courteous of @Paul ,what a top guy eh.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahahaha
I thought will was buying?
No Will is buying all your beer at the Chinese this year.
Great isn't it, Think I will let Will buy mine at the Chinese, just to give Paul a chance to go to the cash point as he should have run out of money by then.
TVWB won't remember his name due to stress by that point, let alone a bar order .
