I’m new to the hobby and considering buying a 1960’s EM in good condition (meaning works 100% and has a lot of new parts on the playfield). I don’t know anything about maintenance and repairs but I definitely want to learn the basics. I expect to play it regularly but not heavily, say 20-30 plays/week.
What I want to get a sense of is, what am I getting into? Assuming I can fix minor issues, how often can I expect to have bigger problems that a beginner like me won’t be able to fix on their own? I know it’s impossible to say for sure, but for a typical 1960s EM would you say most likely a couple of times a year? More? Less?
Thanks for any input.
