Re: I made a hole in my TZ playfield!



You are braver than I am Ed! I've thought about it, but can't make
myself get the drill close to the playfield! ;-)

Let us know if it was worth it... I've never had the chance to play a
TZ with the third magnet. Sure sounds like fun to me!

The hole in the playfield allows the pole to be threaded into the
playfield.  That holds the magnet.

What holds the magnet in place Ed? It looks like it's just laying there,
don't see a bracket etc.

If it's the mounting bolt, what does it mount/attach to?

As usual, there is my usual different angle at doing things.  I hope
this is useful for those considering this mod.

Now I have to play some games to see it in action.  Judging by the
pandemonium I am hearing from my basement right now, my kids are
already at it.
