    Quoted from o-din:

    And I didn't need a smartphone to figure out how to fix them.

    Times 10. Plus those little phone screens are to small.

    Quoted from frb:

    What if an app was developed that took the EM guides to the next level and walked anyone through a troubleshooting path that pointed out to them the relays to adjust and clean. If the app database were large enough all EMs could be covered. A point often raised is that EMs popularity will die off with the inability of older collectors and restorers to keep them running. What if that was taken out of the equation and anyone with a smartphone and a few tools could keep any machine in running order.
    My question is how do you think it would effect the market for games and the hobby.

    To out on a limb here, don't think that a lot of Pinsiders would use an app. Others would, most likely use it, but just how many?
