This confuses me, and maybe it's just the wording, but if someone asked whjy the center rollover 'stopped working', that indicates that it WAS working at some point, yes?

So that would indicate that someone there at Modern did the hot-glue .. uhm, 'fix'? Why wouldn't you have heard about it before now?

Holy. Shit.

That floors me. In the years (back in the 90's) when I worked at several arcades/family fun centers - and I wasn't the only tech - we would leave end-of-day notes to each other, letting the other guy know what was done. (i.e. "The rollover switch wasn't working. I hot-glued it to stop people from complaining.".. )

Keep up the reports, these are neat. And now that I have a better understanding of what goes on, a little bit more of it makes sense.

..It's one of those days. I read this as 'False Tits', and had me confused for a moment.

WTH ? Who else to blame it on? The poor hobo across the street? This is the funniest thing I've read.

First impressions..

Oh yeah, I figured as much! Just came across as an amusing way to say it, is all.

It looks like the plunger's not falling all the way to the stop screw. Plus, on the power side of the coil, there's an odd (to me) smaller gauge wire attached - looks like a driver wire and not a power wire, but it's hard to tell, I'm probably mistaken as that'd blow a fuse immediately.

And looking at it, is it possible that the coil and stops are on the wrong side of the bracket? I see a rubber stop directly behind what I just called the 'stop screw'.
