Quoted from henrydwh:Had a problem with my PinBot ejecting the ball, thanks to chrispink25 he helped me sort it out! I don't think Williams used a nail to reinforce this! Not factory....
I have seen this many times on machines as a fix to prevent the ball from going places it should not. Not sure it qualifies as an awful hack. It what I would do, but not the worst.
Quoted from koen12344:from a Road Show project i'll soon be working on

Home made bridge rectifiers. Awesome! No heat sink, add a fan! Genius!
Quoted from JethroP:The worst problems to troubleshoot, in my opinion, are those where someone has installed a jumper or rewired something thinking they're fixing a problem....only really they are creating a bigger problem!
I just dealt with that exact problem. They shorted the coin door lights to the lockdown bar release lever frying several things. The tried to rewire it and I had to get the manual out to undo and properly put it all back. I then replaced the blow fuse and it all worked again.
