Star Trek: The Next Generation
Williams, 1993I stumbled upon the best operator hack I've seen to date while I was cleaning up my T2 today. A broken key en lieu of a drop target reset plate. image.jpg
I've seen some really bad ones too, none of which I have pics of but mostly relating to Molex connectors... Or lack thereof.
Anyone else have some good/bad ones?
No picture buuuutt, I saw a Funhouse ramp that was crack on the side wall. They hot glued a razor blade to the inside of the wall.
Quoted from dothedoo:That was all good until you realized that WAS the key that unlocked the backbox
Lol, I just checked the number on the key to see if it matched up with the backbox key (since I only have one backbox key)... No match! Coin door key is missing though... 
The worst . In the mid 1990's When I started routing my pinball collection . One of my AFM . Had two one for my home and other for my route . A fuse kept blowing . I called the only tech I new at the time Victor . Victor said to put aluminum foil on each end of the fuse . Had Victor do it . And the board started to smoke . 
Good : The same tech Victor helped me with my Scared Stiff Bony Beast ramp. The Sider hole VUK shoots the pinball up through a slot in the plastic ramp. The ramp was cracked on the right side. Victor cut the metal sheet with tin snips and bent it to conform to the side wall of the outer part of ramp. He used two-ton glue and the ramp has been golden for 15 years.
