My Start Into The Pinball Hobby

I've had pinball machines since 1997 and proceeded to collect the ten games I have through 1998. 

My kids were teens back then and played the Pinball games often, but no one had played them for many years and lucky for me only two of

the ten Pinball games had battery damage to the boards, well it was just last year I got into putting them together for my Grand kids and they love them. 

I've always wanted to get into electronics repair and learn about the Magic smoke that makes all the Magic of electronics happen, until 

it finally escapes. I've seen the smoke and Wisdom is sometimes made from smoke.   

Now I've got a great work station and space with lots of spare components stored neatly and an Inventory that I keep in the address 

book of my iphone numbered parts can be looked up and the stock situation known immediately the loading of information takes lots 

of time but I keep up, by adding the parts as I've received them. 

As I develope the skills and talent to tackle the issues attached to the mechanical and electronic issues of Pinball I hope to find 

others who can share their skills and talents.

PinSide looks like a great group and I'm looking forward to all the information the membership has to share 

I can only hope to contribute some kind of experience that others could benefit from. Febuary,26,2023
