    For those of you with several pins in your collection (Lucky You)...

    How do you people keep track of those minor, but irritating little faults that you discover while playing the machine? I'm talking about niggly things such as switches occasionally not registering, worn/dirty rubbers and flickering displays, not major faults that ruin gameplay. Things that you will get around to doing one quiet Sunday afternoon when you are cleaning and tweaking your machines.

    I voted for option 2 when I first posted the poll, but I must admit I often fail to write the fault down, and then promply totally forget about it - until I play that machine again.

    That Pinhead software looks awsome, I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for posting about it.

    Too late now, as I can't alter the poll, but maybe I should have included a sixth option: Switch the machine off and repair the fault immediately: all my machines run perfectly all the time.
