    Safe and effective way to remove bulbs. The skinny end works on #47; the fat end works on larger bulbs.

    Homemade "switch keeper" using a plastic-wrapped wire (commonly used in packaging of small electronics cables) and a nut. I remove one screw, insert one switch keeper, remove the second screw, insert the second switch keeper, lift the switch stack off its bracket and twist the two wire ends together. Order is preserved even if the stack comes apart.

    Quoted from leckmeck:

    These little binder clips do a nice job keeping switch stacks together.

    Great idea!

    This miniature vacuum set is great for getting into those hard to reach areas inside your pinball cabinet. They didn't invent this for pinball, but they might as well have - it's perfect. A reducer (seen bottom left) fits over the end of your existing "big" vacuum cleaner.

    Also available on Amazon.
