The Simpsons Pinball Party
Stern, 2003I did my first repair on my TSPP all by myself. One of the lights fell out of its place under the bumper, so I took off the plastic and placed the light back in and screwed the plastic back on. The light still works. Although it was a minor repair, I'm very happy that it could've been worse.
Soon you'll be shopping out your machines. You can learn fast in this hobby. Just use all the resources like pinside and RGP to learn all you can. 
Awesome Job KwiKimart ,, On TSPP , wait till Homer has a Creek in his Neck,, Head-ache !!!
One small step for man; One giant leap for mankind!
Good Job Kwiki. It sounds like you enjoyed it and are proud, so I would call it VERY succesfull.
Wait 'til your first hack - It's the kinda thing that we all hate seeing, but sometimes cannot repair in proper fashion. One of those "I am ashamed to be proud" kinda things. LOL
I had a NGG that I converted to LEDs. It had some LED flashers that kept coming loose. It seemed that either the flasher was too thin or the socket became to loose.
My Jack-Bot was my most reliable game ever, but I had "repaired" a bulb that refused to go in, so I took a flathead to it, with the power on, and turnder the socket, 'til I was able to put the bulb in. This blew the U20 and caused all kind of logic problems....
My lesson is : Don't work on anything with the power on 'til you feel confident enough to be able to say "If I damage anything else, I can repair it too".
Hopefully that will be the only time that this bulb comes loose on you.
PS TSPP is one of my favorite Hyperin Tables!
That'll be $32.75 please lol!
Everyone that drives a car should be able to change their own tire if they have a flat. Just like pinball, you should be able to do your own regular maintenance. All the procedures are in the owners manuals, study them. They are worth there weight in gold. 
Im glad you fixed your bulb and enjoyed working on your machine. Now that you own a pin you will learn how to repair stuff pretty fast thats half the fun.(at least thats what I keep telling myself)
