all of these were my FML moments:
1. Screwing a post down on a clearcoated Xenon playfield and the screwdriver slips and into the clear it goes, leaving a nice + dimple next to the alien chiks face
2. The previous asshat left a bunch of metal tags on the display connectors on a TAXI, I took them all out but one that I did not see (nestled nicely under one of the displays). Turn the game on, and poof magic smoke. Very hard to find display board gone.
3. Machine sanding a playfield flat with 600 grit and Naphtha. A sliver of metal was buried into the orbital rubber bad, causing little circles ALL over 1/3 of a playfield area.
4. Standing a pin on its back with the hinged head not strapped onto the lower cabinet yet. Wham.
5. Storing a restored lower cab in my shed (on its back), and befriending a feral cat. Cat decides to go in and mark its new territory *repeatedly* on the said games back panel.
