    I’ve been trying to figure out how to post something like this without coming across like a complete wack job. Here it goes.
    I like to work on pins. I’ve been doing it for a few years now and I’m not afraid to tear down a machine and put it back together. I have the tools. I have the space. There’s just 2 things I don’t have. The ability to use an ohm meter and enough red pigment in my eyes (I’m color blind). Which makes it a real b*tch to deal with complicated wiring.
    Maybe you like to work on pins but just don’t have the space/tools/spray booth etc. But you can test diodes in your sleep. 2 sets of hands are better than 1 and I like to work on pins whether they're mine or not.
    Here’s a couple of pics. PM me if you have any interest.

    Bummer because I'm right in south Jersey. I have been in the hobby since 08. I restored a few early 80's Bally and Stern games. My problem is time and limited space. I feel your pain about the color blindness. I have a permanent loss of vision to my right eye from a childhood injury but I see color very well. By the looks of youe shop, you do mostly wood working? The previous post from HDC is probably true. You could make a huge contribution to the hobby if you can replicate pin cabs.

    Nope, just like to play them. I do it when I have to but I get really bummed out when something goes wrong and I have to work on it.

    I actually look forward to when things go wrong (crazy I know). I think fixing pinball machines is just as fun as playing them. Plus, when you finally fix a problem that has eluded every attempt you've made to correct it it's just such a great sense of satisfaction. I guess I'm just daft, but that's how I look at it.

    Oh and btw, OP that is a fantastic looking workshop. Sadly, I live in Canada, so I cannot help.
