My knocker in mt DE TFTC is in the standard DE spot below the play field. I do not mind it there, but what I DO mind is the silly sound it makes when it goes off. They have a metal plate there, but the rod that comes out of the coil had a nylon tip on it! Needless to say the knock sound is WEAK compared to the satisfying "crack" you get out of a Williams game.

Has anyone modded there DE game to make a nice "crack" from the knocker?

This has got to be the most nit picky post I've ever read.  

The description of the knocker plunger with a nylon tip sounds like every other knocker I've seen. Maybe you just need a stronger coil?

Dude just wants bigger knockers, what's so wrong with that?

Take it apart, clean it, put a new coil sleeve in it, it might help?  I don't find the knocker in my Back to the Future to really sound much different than my Theatre of Magic.

That may be so. I have a old Williams auto plunger coil (from a DM) I wonder if that will work?

Grauwulf, I will take your advice and see how it works.
