I made a post on pinside asking for some help on pinside. I was hoping at best to get someone to post something that could help me continue forward with my trouble shooting process. Howard left a message with some advice. I replied to it sharing some new discoveries and he replied and told me he could give me a phone call. I» Read morecalled him and wow, I couldn’t believe how nice and knowledgeable he was. He not only quickly diagnosed and solved my problem but taught me some trouble shooting techniques to make me be able to solve my own problems. Once I got off the phone and the machine going with his advice another problem arose right after, but because of the knowledge Howard showed me I was able to diagnose and solve that problem and now my machine is playing! Howard is a 10/10. The man has a passion for pinball and teaching others and it really shows. Highly recommend this pinsider!

I joined Pinside today, and really was looking down a long road of wires and no clue what to do. My first post got me in touch with Howard. 2 hours of his time with me on the phone took away so much fear and unknown. What a wealth of knowledge he has. Well on my way to getting replays. Howard's help is off» Read morethe charts. Many thanks. Rob (PeterPuck) Canada

I give Howard my highest possible recommendation and thanks. He took literal hours of his own time to talk me through several problems with my machine, teaching me along the way.

HowardR is an asset to our pinball community! He kindly spent nearly 6 hours via phone to educate me in electrical theory and diagnostics. Initially I sought him out to address a few specific issues on a ‘75 DOA Bally. Upon learning I was new to EM repair he insisted on sharing deeper knowledge. He helped me develop a foundation to better understand what» Read moremakes EMs tic. Now armed with a fraction of his skillset other electrical ghosts and WTF’s aren’t quite as daunting anymore. HowardR elevated my pin-fu level and I’m most grateful. Mahalo from Maui...
