Wanted TZ pin mods
- Thread starter Atlantis
- Start date
TZ is arguably one of the most modded pins around. Some of the mods go for eye watering sums of money for no other reason that "just cos". It's also possible to go overboard in my opinion.
What have you got already in terms of mods?

I have a silver on edge quarter (dated 1964 to tie in with the show) and the diverter magnet fix for sale
this will give you a few ideas

On my TZ I’ve only added lights
1) piano I’ve put red lights only lit when activated with ramp.
2) slot I’ve lit with green light again only lit when activated.
3) lamp shining at the right back, I felt it’s a dark area but not now.
4) scoop blue lamp.
5) mini playfield I’ve added two red lamps connected via reed switches which flash across left and right of the playfield when flipper buttons are pushed when game play is in the mini playfield.
6) awaiting topper from America.
7) magnet added to the diverter to stop the ball bounce out, everyone puts the magnet in.
8) clock housing now blue.
9) side and back decals.
I’m sure I’ve missed a couple
Besides things like ColorDMD and Invisiglass, some things I can think of (in no particular order):
- Cliffy protectors (some might argue against these for home use, I always fit them - prevention better than cure)
- Diverter magnet as said above
- Coloured plastic balls in gumball machine
- Mirror blades
The rest I guess is to taste.
In your position the first thing I would do is fit LEDs throughout, but that's just me, I'm care less about purity than vastly less power demand on old boards.
I'd say Ingo's LED clock board is worth getting too, if you're thinking of doing anything with the clock (e.g. changing housing), or if it's faulty already.

TZ has like a million mods so that's guaranteed.
I'm planning on ordering a led set.just have to work out what's best .
Gumball is empty and needs filling for sure be it coloured or the pachinko ones.
Always liked the robot mod and the clock millions .
What topper are u getting from the US.
What colour dmd works best if I remember right there is 4 to pick from.

I’m getting the topper from tilt topper it’s not on their website a forum member told me a small amount is being remade, start with all the cheap mods fill the gumball which looks better if you have the cash colour DMD is a must for me it would be like going back to black and white TV.
I have a spare magnet if you want one I bought a few got two left. Smaller than the ones you see online works perfectly.

Hi Alan,
Yep, 32 euro’s for the the 4 fluorescent protectors...... they sit underneath the original reflectors. 89 euro’s for the 2 mirror blades and I think postage was around 13 eoro’s, worth every penny imo ?

Did you have any problems fitting the mirror blades? They look cool
No problem at all, they’re supplied with 3 or 4 small screws that secure the bottom but I did add a length of thin double sided scotch to run along the top. Pictures don’t really do them justice as they really give the table a premium finished look and look great with the lights down
If you want TZ mods, I'm your man, drop me a pm.
