I remember the moment i got hooked on pin repair. I bought CV as my first pin in really nice shape for a really nice price (in the eyes of the seller anyway). But i was afraid to tinker with it because it was expensive and i didnt know anything about them. I had a loose post from a stripped wood screw in the playfield. Just securing a plastic but it still bothered me. I eventually mustered up the courage to disassemble what i had to and made the repair and put it back together. Felt happy with that then changed some burnt out bulbs behind the ringmaster. Big deal… but these bastards were very difficult to get to which is why the prev owner never changed them. In retrospect dropping the ringmaster would of been easier. Baby steps…

So with that i went out and bought a dead F2K and brought that back to life, even swapped a playfield. I learned so much from doing that game, from troubleshooting to board work. All because of that stoopid loose playfield post.
