Quoted from KingPinGames:

what constitutes a "service manual?"
gameplay? shot layout? parts identification? accurate bolt sizes?
I am not being sarcastic, just curious what it is (other than wiring diagrams) that people are looking for?

The critical content IMO:

- Setup and adjustments: especially tuning the tilt settings and the audio levels. It's far more complex to tune the audio levels in TNA due to there being adjustments in 3 different locations that all need to be set correctly: on the System settings, LCD backpanel, and the external amp in the cabinet. Saying "it was set at the factory don't touch it" is completely unacceptable. The external amp sub volume can be off a hair and have a very significant and negative impact on the games overall sound, for example.
- Rubber rings map and sizes
- Mechanical assembly diagrams with corresponding part #s so replacements can be purchased as needed (for all targets, drop targets, trough, scoops, etc.).
- Wiring diagrams - which leds, coils, switches go to which boards, where are they located, etc.
- In a perfect world, schematics for the boards themselves (maybe available from Multimorphic?)

Quoted from KenLayton:

I don't need it now, but in the future, other technicians will need that information. Just look at Williams manuals. You'll find AC power wiring diagrams, DC power wiring diagrams, which driver transistor operates which coil or lamp, and schematics of every single board in the machine. This is why I put together as much as I could for the pinwiki Spooky Pinball Repair Guide there, to help other folks repair their Spooky machine.
Without board schematics, how is a game board supposed to get fixed? Send the board to Ben Heck or Multimorphic for repair? If that's case, that can mean an on-location game could be down for weeks. What if either company should suddenly go out of business?

Exactly this. And double yes to the fuse chart.

Problem is all this stuff is spread all over inter webs, some even only in forum responses, a lot nowhere at all apparently.

I don’t want to be a jerk but it’s long past time Spooky provided these docs in a central location on their own website, along with code updates. It’s time to put their “big-boy” pants on and get their technical documentation up to snuff.
