    Quoted from bigehrl:

    this is what i call abuse of a game!

    Also bit disturbing.

    This is also poor etiquette. Working on something and finishing with the pin doing less than you started with.

    Went to a Pinsiders home, he had asked for help with his old Bally. He couldn't get it to finish the re-set. Was there for almost a hour. Sometime between observing the re-set action, looking at a schematic, and moving the pin a few feet. I stepped on the power cord. The game shut off. Looked at the owner asked if he had an electrical tester as I didn't think to bring mine. He didn't have a tester. No power... nothing. While looking at the power cord it had 2 splices inside the cab and 1 splice by the plug end. Told him to replace the cord ASAP, and do not plug it in, until it was changed.

    Most likely I did do him a favor, in preventing his home from burning down.
