    Hi all,

    I've done a bit of very basic pin repair/maintenance (connector rebuilds, playfield cleaning/stripping, flipper rebuilds etc.). That being said, I am nowhere near the point I'd like to be when it comes to diagnosing issues, doing major repairs, or doing board work. I know plenty of people on the Pinside forums are seasoned veterans of the trade so I was wondering where would be the best place to start when it comes to pin repair and maintenance? I'd like to get to the point where I can be far more self sufficient, but I really don't know where to start. Any good resources (books, websites, other threads etc.) that you'd recommend for a beginner? Help me Pinside, you're my only hope!

    Thanks,
    Jordan

    Pinrepair.com, Pinball Ninja, Pinwiki.com, and the This Old Pinball DVDs have a ton of info too.
