It is amazing how many times a loose wire or bad solder joint has been the problem even in my limited experience.

We are here to help, and most of the time someone pretty experienced will jump in and assist with any issues.

If you need hands-on assistance then some members are willing to do that too but probably they are thirsty so be warned!

A lot of the time fixing a pinball machine is about understanding what is supposed to happen, and patiently working through the possibilities of why it isn't working until the problem is solved. If it is getting too much, take a break and try again later.

A soldering iron and multimeter are must-haves for all pinball owners unless you want to pay technicians every time you have a problem.
