    I am currently enrolled in an online pinball repair school. It has two main campuses. They are: YouTube.com and pinside.com. Lol.

    I bring all of my tech questions here and usually several people have assisted in a rather short time. If I do not know how to do somethin I look it up on YouTube.

    However it would all depend on the time required and the cost as this is just a hobby and not my profession.

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    I would pay for this.
    I actually think Clay should offer and upgraded online class option.
    I see the best way as something like you can sign up for class and this provides access to an added library of videos for starter through more expereinced. Along with this, once per month there is a 1 hr live class where clay goes through a full game problem and then fields Q&A at teh end of class on the scope of that months topic. People would need to log into class and then use lync or some IM feature that allows live action Q via typing and then answers with demo streamed live.
    I can easily see paying $100 for a year long membership. It would sell best if it had a sylabus and peopel knew the general content/topics of the monthly live class in advance. It would take a good amount of leg work to get started but in time the content woudl get built up.
    This is a fun and good value form me perspective. I also would enjoy sitting in my boxers at home while learning more about pinball.

    I am with you on the watch when you want to, library type of system. I completed my master's online for education and having to show up at 8:00 pm to online chat session were kind of pointless. I learned from the instructor providing the information and then me taking the initiative to use that information.

    If you paid a once a year fee to an online resource for pinball repair and documentation I would be all in.
