Very new the forum and a new pinball machine owner. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now reading as much as I can on TAF and general fixes.

I bought the machine locally in nearly perfect working order. Have had a couple of issues but think I have them sorted out.

Bookcase table was really wobbly. Bought a new one and had a local tech repair it for me as the pieces underneath looked complicated and expensive to replace if I broke something.

A couple of burned out bulbs. Replaced easy enough.

Thing Yellow bulb wouldn't light up. Checked with a multimeter and everything checked out okay. Discovered the diode, replaced that and it took right off.

First 'E' in GREED wouldn't light at all. Replaced bulb, light socket - nothing. Since replacing the diode worked on the Thing Yellow worked I decided to remove the 5 light board and replace that diode as well. Sure enough, took right off.

I feel pretty lucky finding this game as it has never been in an arcade or other venue. Always in the original owner's home so just general wear.

Thinking of replacing the bulbs with LED's but wonder about keeping the game 'original' as the only modification I can find is mylar on the playfield.

Thanks everyone for the great posts and info on fixes you've all done. Great help along the way.
