Do You "Horde" Backup Parts?
As I write this I have 5 different variations of pop bumper yokes on my desk.
As a collector/operator/part-time tech I run into a variety of repairs each year.
Although Pinball Life and Marco have been in business 10+ years (congrats to both),
and parts are typically readily available, it's best to have it truly readily available in my eyes.
I've got so many fuses, flipper bats, posts, rings, LEDs, coil sleeves, etc... .. .
It's taken a while to collect and it's gradually feeling like I have what I need to handle problems on the fly.
Explain your scenario and any advice that you may have.
The only things that I don't have in stock right now are back up DMDs, MPUs or Power-driver boards.
P.S...
The word horde is stupid, I would call it collecting and preparing for future problems.
