Tommy pinball

[John Beveridge]

Hi , i recently bought a Tommy pinball machine and within a couple of weeks the blinders failed to work. Seems a simple fix as i have found the blinder support arm has broken. Struggling to find any supplier who has one, any help is appreciated. The part number is 520-5922-00. I`d really like it working correctly .......thanks in advance.

Cheers,
John.

There is a guy on Pinside that has made repros of the various blinder parts.

Check the Tommy club thread on there.

I think he is in Germany

That`s a good looking mod , only thing is my servo motor is still fine and only need the plastic arm. Mind you if can`t source one i might end changing the whole lot !

Is it something that can be 3D printed?

Contact Bakerman on Pinside

He may be able to supply repro arm seperately.

BigLebowski in Germany is still making parts on demand.

He has the Arm + servo adapter listed at 25 euro

Blinking binders . Tommy 1 don't work Tommy 2 missing completely. Great idea let down by DE quality again . The organ switch on phantom and balrog switch on LOTR are made of paper clips as always breaking .

I personally just didn`t particularly like the way my Tommy played, not a great fan of the game.It had to go and now it`s sold to a fan of the theme. I have had plenty of reliable Data East machines over the years and some have been good fun.
