Here is a great video from Butch Peel at Jersey Jack Pinball discussing the tools and uses of such tools for maintaining pinball machines. Take a minute (or 30) and learn something. I know I did (and I am a pretty smart guy.... according to my 2 year old).

I really need to find an IR test strip somewhere. That is a really cool tool!

Quoted from stevevt:

Any digital camera, including the one on your phone, should do this job pretty well.
Great video anyhow.

yeah, i know... but that strip is so easy to get into places.

Quoted from PghPinballRescue:

KingPinGames Did you also know you can use any standard TV remote control's IR emitter to test the optos on all machines? Just aim it at the receiver end of the opto pair and push any button on the remote while in switch matrix test. The switch should "chirp" because the IR light a digital pulsed signal from the remote, not a steady on light.
You can even use one of those cheap remotes for the LED strips they sell at walmart.

Great tip!
