Quoted from Flippingr8:Nascar I/O board - sad hack.
HO-LY SHIT. It looks like someone vomited on the board, then dripped solder on top of it and took a blowtorch to it.
Quoted from tullster:Here's a good one!
Wow...that guy's got talent. That looked like it took more work than replacing the connector.
Quoted from thedefog:The axial cap with no label on it is a nice touch too. What's polarity?
I can never remember if it's always the rule, but generally the side with the depressed ring around it is positive.
That's actually ingenious. I wouldn't even be mad! Keys are cheaper than those stupid pieces of sheet metal that ALWAYS seem to break.

My Comet that came from N.J. had spiders in it, one flipper needed WD40 in the plunger, bulbs rolling around underneath, Ferris Wheel belt lasted about 50 games. Couple burned out bulbs ( of course under all the ramps ) not all the lights would flash. Rusty leg levelers, only 3 leg levelers sent. LED ALL red on one side. ALL blue on the other.

No pics, but I once owned a reimport funhouse that every single coil in the game had been greased. It made for a fun afternoon of cleaning.
Quoted from TecumsehPlissken:Price of Fuses TOO Expensive $ just solder on a piece of wire & viola / from a reimported Black Rose that was full of hacks

Well it's still KIND of a fuse isn't it........
Plan on doing my Pinbot the exact same way. Probably gonna pick up those xpin red and blue display as well. I could not care less how color is produced it looks awesome. Lol

like a firecracker 
Quoted from jibmums:Top of a drop target broken off? No problem, just hammer a nail in its place!
WINNER!

My mistake....I forgot, the nail wasn't actually hammered into the remains of the drop target....it was duct taped onto it.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Broken rubber? Add a staple!
Idk that might be the winner
*facepalm* 
Actually, that's kind of a clever solution for a broken rubber if you don't have the right size on-hand.
Quoted from calvin12:other than the fact is destroys the other colors? do you understand how color is produced?
Yes I do, Been a painter for many years.
Looks great with the half blue half red theme, I am only sorry I wasn't the one who thought of it first.

Quoted from jwinn1812:From a Flash Gordon I was restoring.
That's pretty damn clever!
I love this thread. The staple on the ring is interesting. I have heard of people super gluing broken rings back together. If you are trying to fix a machine on location in a pinch that is one thing. An owner with a machine at home, no excuse.
This one just hurts to look at...

looks great if you don't mind completely messing up the artwork the designer created. I did do it to my machine just to see how bad it would be, it was worse in person than the pics people post.

In your opinion. I didn't even realize the artwork depicted half blue/half red robot arms coming down each side of the playfield, until I saw that someone accented it with colored LEDs. A lot of folks like that look, so
