“Why the hate for newbies”
Because they typically start a thread like this:
I just bought this pinball machine. No I do not have the schematic or manual, nor did I make any effort to find one.
I found the schematic online, but don’t want to pay for it, can someone upload or send me a free copy.
I have not bothered to clean any of the parts in the machine and it still won’t turn on.
I didn’t know you could lift the playfield up.
Even though I have done none of the above, I don’t understand why you can’t just tell me how to fix it.
