Seems to be an awful lot of threads started by newbie pinball collectors asking how to fix a problem, many of the problems not so trivial....Alot of the more experienced regulars then respond with several things to check/try, but often there is never any follow-up by the OP. I'm not looking for a pat on the back, as I'm more than happy to help share my experiences and knowledge, but show a little courtesy and share your resolution to your problem. Yes, we helped, or no, we didn't, but either way, it helps terminate the thread and leaves a resolution for the next person that comes along with a similar problem and uses the search function.
Just sayin.....
