Andy (Beaky) has been servicing all of my 30 plus DMD pinballs for the last few years. There is nothing Andrew cant fix. He can work on Pinball 2000 boards and I think he is the only person in the country who can, to my knowledge. No matter what pinball issue I throw at him he can fix it, and with ease I might add.
Andy has recently overhauled my Revenge from Mars Pinball 2000 monitor, replaced some bits n pieces on the monitor chasis, degaused the factory tube monitor and made it like new. The difference in the vibrant colours, the overall performance has made this machine like brand new. You have to see it to really appreciate it.
This list of board repairs Andy has done for me, and every other pinball fix known to man is extensive and impressive. I met Andy via the forum 2 years ago, and since then I have had Andy work with me in my Security Business with electronics etc. Again, he has a very indepth and broad knowledge of all things electrical/electronics.
I do give him a hard time from time to time for being a little slow, but as he rightly points out, its best to be thorough and do the job right the first time, and rushing any jobs for the sake of just banging it out isnt in Andy's vocabulary. I am a tuff person to keep happy, and i can be a bit of a cranky bastard, but if anyone wants any repair work or advice from a fair dinkum bloke who has a heart of gold, you cant go past Andy.
Aussie Pinball is full of some very talented people,and its blokes like Andy who will bend over backwards to help any member out anytime. Andy has a wife n 3 kids, so the pocket money he makes doing board repairs, service calls and general restoration helps put food in the fridge, but its his love of pinball and helping people out which is really why he does what he does. If you need any help, give Andy a go, he will always give it his all.
