Should have gone to the Midwest Gaming Classic this weekend, they had 30 Iron Maidens there. Insane!
Quoted from Stretch7:We did our best to keep games going but sometimes we have to pick our battles with the timing of repairs.
Absolutely this. I did a tech shift on Saturday and while the majority of the issues that crept up were typically pretty simple things, there were a couple games that needed a little more attention. If we focused on the really hard-to-fix things for too long, a handful of other games with super easy fixes would be sitting waiting for attention. Some of the games that were down over the course of the weekend were sometimes because something simple happened, but the key for the machine could not be located to get in to fix the problem.
Sometimes it was just a stuck ball, or a game needed to have credits added to it, while others were blown fuses or oddball issues like a broken E clip on a shooter rod where we would start sacrificing some parts from the down-and-out games to keep everything else running. The volunteer technicians that were on hand were awesome, and if you were working on something and another tech was passing by, they'd always stop and ask if they could help with anything. I even had help from a few blue-shirt volunteers on a number of issues! It was a great effort put forth by everyone to make sure the show ran smoothly and everybody was having fun!
