    My first reference book was Russ Jensen's Pinball Troubleshooting Guide. I think he published it around 10 years before Bernard's book.

    I guess i’m lucky. Growing up, when a pin malfunctioned you called a phone number and the repair guy would be there soon. I could play the other games, then watch him troubleshoot and fix the broken game.

    My dad was an electrical engineer in the Air Force, he was always tinkering with something around the house.

    Watching/helping them was a great education for fixing (or trying to fix) anything. By the time I got around to buying pinball machines, I just went to work. For me, there’s still nothing more satisfying than bringing a long-dead machine back to life.
