Melbourne, FL
Happy New Year to all.
I am looking for a EM repair person I in Florida. I live in Brevard County and the one that was referred is 3.5 hrs away in Homasassa Fl.
(Topic ID: 285111)
There are a few collectors in Brevard County, but none who do repair regularly for a business on EMs. What game is it? What sort of problem?
I am looking at buying a EM Knock Out
and a EM Expo . My concern is that I will not have anyone locally that can service them. I uses to own a Vector fun Machine however I had to have it serviced several times and it was always an issue do to distance.
Quoted from Droogpunk:My concern is that I will not have anyone locally that can service them.
Learn how to do your own repairs! That's half of what EM ownership is all about, and we're here to help.
The Williams and Bally games are easier to work on than the Gottlieb games. Not to jinx you, but once they are up and running properly they usually just need occasional tweaking. A cleaning and waxing every once in a while and new rubber every couple of years keeps them playing nicely. Learn to search pinside when you have problems, I often find help in old threads. Send me a PM through Pinside if you get really stuck. I get down to Melbourne once in a while.

I left the area many years ago, but from what I remember:
Is Wayne’s World still in the Deland area? He worked on EM’s.
So did Mark Roller, but he was SW of Orlando I think.
Anyone know who owned/ran the Arcade Museum that closed in Daytona? They had several EM’s.
Any chance there are business cards in either machine? My records show I sold an Expo and two Bally Knockouts back in the 1990’s in Central Florida.
