I'd suggest the flipper issue was coincidental. I don't think it would be a deliberate act.
Hope my comment didn't come across wrong, I didn't mean deliberate, I meant bumped, knocked connection whilst working around on machine.
Cheers,
Not at all - I understand your comments as intended.
Good and bad experiences are part of the hobby. But as Daniel suggests, part of owning a machine is the awareness that issues are part of the fun, and there are always people willing to help should you be stumped.
The reason why Good Technicians are hard to find is because they are almost always hobbyists that have learnt to fix their own games. There are dealers that charge $135 to change fuses, that's another reason why it is an advantage to learn to maintain them.
The key is that games are mechanical, and parts were out and cause machines to break down.
