I have had my EWF for about a year now I think. Got it working, was going well, then all of a sudden it stopped working. Keeps blowing a fuse under the playfield, and has got me stumped now. As I told you when we met my electronics knowledge is quite minimal, so I tend to rely on the forum guys here a lot and if it all gets beyond me, then I call in the cavalry.
I don't think the Winter Sports machine will cost me too much in the end and my EWF has not cost me too much either, so I have been a little lucky considering.
