    I'm mostly a electronic era tech. I do em stuff but its not my strong point. Over the last few years we lost a tech that was extremely skilled at Jukebox, Pinball, & Video. We just lost probably our leader in em pins, & he had probably the most working ones privately this week. He was involved in the film industry or series over the years. Victor Stevens, had other hobbies besides pinball. A great loss of skill, that will likely never be replaced. I know the bulk of their skills, now rests with me to carry the torch forward. A huge responsibility to keep the hobby going forward.

    Damn, sorry to hear about your loss, sounds like a good Canadian.

    When I started in this business, everything was EM. Video games and electronic pinballs had not even been invented yet.

    Very sorry to hear about the loss of your friends, as well as such major assets to the pinball community.

    Those of us who were in the industry back in the day need to continue sharing our EM tech knowledge with the next generation of collectors. That's one way we can help keep the hobby going forward.

    Same thing happened in our area and now we are all flailing trying to keep our machines running.

    As Yoda says, "pass on what you have learned."
