BLUF: Could you guys direct me to the recommended resources to getting a complete EM pinball machine up and running? Just looking on where to start.
Long version: I freaking love pinball. I decided to pick up a "summer project" for the garage, and picked up a complete Vulcan at the Allentown pinball show from the flea market. I've only ever had one E.M. (El Dorado) and it was working when I got it so keeping it running was fairly straight forward. This one is a four player (obviously not ideal to learn on) but its in nice shape and minus a wooden backdoor as opposed to a metal one seems to be in really nice condition. I have not put much time into it yet (still gotta bring my other show pins downstairs) but did get it put together this morning.
So far it lights up! The first few times I pressed start I felt something try to move, but it doesn't do that anymore. I threw some credits on it and I see things under the playfield move and the credit reel try to turn, but nothing happens when I hit the start button and flipper buttons. I'm not in a rush and have time to learn, but wanted to know what you would recommend me look at first, and if there was a standard "bringing dead pins back to life" list of things to check. Thanks!
