Quoted from High_End_Pins:

The playfield is then pulled out of the cabinet and left to dry down just a few in the heat before I bring it back in and blow it off with compressed air. The cabinet is flipped to drain. There is only one or two things I need out of that so I will pull those out and bust the cabinet up for the dumpster.

Wish you were closer. Can always use cabinets like this. Seems such a shame to bust 'em up but I understand you can't save everything.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

It's not for everyone. It takes years of expertise in multiple skill-sets and an obsession for perfection.

It's a mindset. For me my motto is "If man can make it, man can break it, and man can fix it!" When you work around a similar product for years and years (carpentry, automotive, pinball, electronics, whatever) you just get a "feel" for how it was made, and the best solution for how to remedy the problem. From my perspective it's the overall CONSISTENCY of what Chris produces that has me tuning in every day to see what he's accomplished. Because I'm a purist I personally cringe at some of the liberties he takes with games, but there is no denying the quality and passion he puts into every machine.

If I could ask Chris, what does a "typical" day look for you hours wise? It would seem that you're putting in 12-14 hour days almost every day. And taking the time to photograph and comment on the steps along the way adds hours to your day as well.
