Hey Team
« on: August 20, 2012, 10:48:43 AM »
Hi guys,

After recently acquiring my first Pin about 3 weeks ago - I have since thrust myself into the pinball world.  What can I say - what a world.   After getting my pin home, and being a person who has to find out how it all works - it wasn't long before I had opened and raised the playfield to stare at the wonder of gear underneath a pinball playfield.  Having been a player for many years - I was now an owner.  Aking to renting a home for many years - then finally putting down some roots on a certain machine.

The breadth of knowledge on this board and the many others around is phenominal.  I am sure I will avail some of you with some questions in the near the future.

You're going to have heaps of fun now you own one.  ^^^
My kids keep pestering me for an Adams, hopefully I'll get one sooner rather than later.
Hope to see some pictures of your pin soon.

Cheers,

Andy

Yeah I have already started tinckering and repairing a few minor errorsas they pop up. 

1.  EOS on Left Flippper broken - easy fix
2.  Bookcase Closed Switch - pulled out the bookcase and saw that the resistor wire solder had broken away - resoldered all good
3.  Shooter Lane Switch not registering - saw that the cable had fallen off off the switch - reattached and all working
4.  Ball dropping into thing box - not routing to the swamp - realigned thingbox and the kickout assembly opening - all good.
5.  Realigned the shooter assembly to get a better strike on the ball

All up I am enjoying the learning curve.
