Good test equipment saves time -- time is money -- so time saved is money saved (or made). Test equipment pays for itself in very little time and from that point on it is actually making you money by saving you money. There is nothing better than finding quicker ways of doing things that are more accurate and most test equipment does that for you.

With over 40 years experience in the repair industry (not pinball related) I have spent thousands on test fixtures & equipment and I can honestly say it has always been a great investment. Why guess or try to isolate an issue the hard way when a fairly small investment give you a quick easy way to be sure?
