First, I got a free EM pinball machine about a week ago. A family friend passed away and she happened to have a non-working pinball machine. Family just wanted it gone as they are selling the house, so they called me to come pick it up...
Then, Friday, I posted a wanted ad on the internal classifieds at the company I work for, and 10 minutes later, someone sends me an email: "I have a non-working Asteroids. If you want it, come get it, it's yours".
Pinball works but needs care. New rubbers and a good cleaning/waxing. It needs adjustment, and I'm trying to learn pins..
The Asteroids was buzzing when turned on and didn't work. I reseated the connector, checked the fuses, and checked the power output. Turns out, the 5v needed to be turned down and the connector is a little loose. A little adjustment and it works great otherwise.
Can't believe how lucky I've been... (I'd upload pics, but I keep getting server errors...)
