A friend of mine was kind enough to lend me his twighlight Zone (well it was better than being tombstoned in his garage) when I recieved it, it was in great condition, however I thought I could make it better so went to work:

Ordered a new ceramic Ball and silverjet balls:

Took all the under playfiled trough out, if your going to clean, so it right :)PXL_20230922_093300843.jpgPXL_20230922_095051002.jpgPXL_20230922_101349012.jpgPXL_20230922_103804002.jpg
 
25 hours later looking very nice.

All plastics removed and cleaned with Novus plastic polisher, playfield and stuff cleaned and wax with pinheadz. All rubbers changed.

Underfield ramps trough, taken off and cleaned with Novus and polished.

Twighlight zone is a pleasure to work on, they really thought about how things should be removed and to make it easy. I thought the mini playfield would be a nightmare, it took about 5 minutes to remove.

I thought the underplayfield ramp system would be a nightmare, no super easy in segments unlike Star Trek the Next Gen which was a nightmare.

This machine might be for sale, my friend is up and down whether to sell it, it has almost every mod and is in great condition, as the godfarther says if you make him an offer he can't refuse who knows, if he does decide to sell, site donation coming. Please dont make offers, I want to keep it, what a great game.

From fully stripping this machine, at some point this has had a nuts and bolts restore, It has a topper, and almost every mod done for it, this machine is in very good condition, not mint, if you go at it with a magnifying glass you will spot issues, but they are minor and you would have to have stripped it to even notice.

it currently has the dreaded switch 26 problem, which i will rectfity.
 
It's almost like NITB , pretty amazing it was made in 1993, time to clean that Ghostbusters 🙄🤔
