Quoted from Thermionic:Great topic, things are a lot more weird out there than I imagined!
Question for you guys:
Would any of you ever consider a job involving a few 1-2h visits over time to mentor a pinball owner who desires to learn to do repairs on his/her own?
Assume the person in question has the aptitude to learn this stuff and already has a good basic fund of electronics/mechanics knowledge, but is in need of a bit of pinball-specific tutoring to boost his/her mojo and fill in the knowledge gaps.
I do this. I do it mostly because I love teaching/helping and I enjoy fixing more than I enjoy playing much of the time.
