My neighbor got a non working ToM and I offered to get the machine going and clean it up for them...

Good news is it's working now! I've never played the game before, it's really cool! Lots of electromagnetism and the I like how the captive balls go into the trunk and in the "bassement" the out the trap door.

Essentially the WPC driver board was toast and the previous service person butchered the .156 connectors so I replaced them all! There were a few other minor issues now all that is left is a thorough cleaning and the Tom Callahan Tiger saw kit.
 
I finally got mine working again tonight as well. I bought a replacement trap door assembly, and the new assembly must be different in some manner because the trap door just couldnt open. The only solution was to remove the spring on the trap door brack to resolve the issue. Grats on the machine!
