FYI in the last 20 years there is not one pinball machine or arcade monitor that I haven't been able to fix when I personally attend. Beaky I have just re-read my post and you will note I have not edited it (original post).I think you might be reading a bit much into things at least in this post. Andrej indicated in his first post he was a novice and not done any repairs. I suggested that until the problem was identified I would hold off pulling wires off the interlock switch. I agree that it should be there but in my five years I have seen these hacked and removed which I am sure you have too.We are all adults here and can have different views. Again there was no personal attack.My only intentions are to help the original poster identify and fix the problem.With the reply from Andrej it looks like the issue may be identified and yes you are most likely correct.**- had to edit this post to fix up iPhone double-ups!

Beaky you're talking complete rubbish - at least in the part where you want to take your bat and ball and go home.Communications by email where people have never met can be tough at times, speech nuances and the extra info available when face to face with someone, the history of personal interaction and so on is lost and this can make it seem like people are jumping on you. In person the offence would probably not even be noticed. One of the things I like about AP is the civility and support that exists, different and contrasting opinions are offered up but it stays away from personal attacks which is the way it should be - and I say that as probably one of the more contrarian stroppy gits on the site.Fault finding remotely is incredibly difficult and I reckon anyone asking a question is grateful for all opinions offered. It's almost given that some will be correct and others less so, your thoughts like all others are well worth reading and contribute to the knowledge pool. I hope you continue to offer your advice.
