Hello All
I created a post about a year ago about trying to get an old '71 Firecracker pinball working (a pinball owned my late friend who passed away far to early) I'm clueless on pinball etc. but looking to try to do it myself.
Fast forward a year and I'm FINALLY about to get started on this project (I have little don't ask ha)
Stupid question hopefully - is it safe to work on these old pinballs? I'm assuming as long as it's unplugged I'm ok but I wanted to check as I wasn't sure if some of the parts held significant electrical charge like old TV's etc. - last thing I want to electrocute myself.
Appreciate the thoughts and any overall suggestions you have.
The machine isn't in terrible shape, but it got shipped across the country and is definitely beat up. Just hoping to do a good cleaning, swap out fuses, bulbs etc. and get it playing (not looking for a museum piece)
