Just a word of warning when working on your pinball machines folks, Just so I can accommodate a new game I had to move my Williams Flash into another room. After I set him up I put  the plug in the power outlet so I could doo a power test. Before I switched the game on I put my hand inside the coin door to remove sum screws on the cab floor and my wrist touched the top of the power switch to the cab and i got zapped         I didn't see this had no insulation over the lugs. I was lucky  that my house has trip switches on the fuse box... That will teach me 

Thats why they called it FLASH!!! Ive had a few tickles also. And the older EM's have High Voltage  on the reset coils(The big Suckers!) under playfield even when the game is switched off underneath. So turn off at wall switch or unplug when working on EM's
