Hi, I have 2 EM pinballs that I recently bought. I'm intrigued by the EMs, the banks of switches are impressive, seeing them clacking and sparking away is incredibly cool. The fact that since these games contain no electronics, all the events are handled by on/off decisions, it all makes sense to me. PCBs either work or they don't, if it doesn't, I can't even begin to think about repairing one, but these machines are physical in their nature, moving parts throwing voltage to this destination or that one, making this happen or that, depending on this variable or that, it is a technology I can get my head around.
In theory anyway...
Both games have one or two little items that don't work, so I'm gearing up for tracking down the faulty switches or whatever it is that's ailing them.
But I'm a bit intimidated by the idea of poking around with these things powered up.
Is there a good book or other resource that gives someone a good overview of how to approach such a task?
Thanks very much,
Ryan
