For Newbies
« on: January 13, 2009, 11:26:56 AM »
Being relatively new to pinball repairs, over 50,sight not as good a you younger one’s, not much hair on top of head & still hesitant tinkling with voltages & my first major fault finding exercise, I have put playfield next to body, connected up power & able to use a long wooden stick to activate relays, coils etc without getting zapped, seeing what I am doing & not losing chunk of skin off head from raised playfield. Refer pictures – I used same stands off my p/field rotisserie.
This is not new but I expect may help the newbie’s.
