TSPP and LOTR -- What Breaks???

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

Can someone who has a TSPP and/or LOTR (especially out on location) tell me
what items are breaking or wearing down. I am thinking of loading up on some
parts for these just in case I find a cheap used one in years to come.

Thanks,

- Kevin

LOTR I would get a few spare spinners, and the VUK kicker is triggered by a
switch with a horse shoe looking end, grab a few of them too. LTG

not a bad idea.
grab a playfield and plastic set and whatever tends to break and you'll
have a great machine.

Our TSPP's have held up really well. Only things to break have been the
plastic spacers on the upper playfield flippers.

Grab some Balrog switches, and the relay that reverses the Balrog
motor. The switch definetly fails, and the relay has gone bad on at
least one person's that I know.

You might also want the two ring plastics, as they are the centerpiece
of the game so to speak and take a beating.

I just had a "545-6045-00 Middle plastic ramp" on TSSP break. You have
to remove the upper PF to get to it. This is on a route game that get
some pretty rough play. One of the flippers has the eos broken so
maybe the flipper was stronger then normal like this. I've also had
this game bust a few eos switches. Like others have said, get some of
the vuk switches. lotr has broken the enter/exit scoop (P/N
535-7329-01). I've seen a couple sterns do this as well.

PS. this is all on route games, not huo
