Thanks Graham! Thanks Kim! I've a Gottlieb Mustang that is waiting for this procedure. Seems a lot less daunting now.

What do you do if you don't have a donor Jones plug? Is there a way to make a new 'board' piece and then transfer the pins from the old plug to the new one?

Thanks Graham and Kim. Very informative video particularly about the uncommon issues such as the jones plug and the spinning contacts on the switch blades. Re the video length, I usually wait till I have some decent time available to watch your videos so I don't mind the longer ones. I'm in Sydney and still planning to get up and see you guys, hopefully soon.

Thanks guys, with 3 Ems in the queue every little detail I can gain from you is gold.

I checked out the Pinball Scientist. Very cool he’s from my home state. I know it’s time consuming to shoot these videos, I always manage to learn something and appreciate you sharing your experience. Australia is on my bucket list, I hope I don’t kick the bucket before I’m able to travel there.

Thank you for the shoutout, Kim! 😁 I hope you and Graham are doing well! See you at Expo! 🍻

The worst thing is repairing a game that some hack had his hands in in the past. Thankfully, it ended up in competent hands. Looking forward to seeing you again at York. Make sure you bring enough hay for Spanky!

Hmm... Wondering if the game was high-tapped. Needlessly high-tapping a game accelerates wear on steppers, score units, etc., and can cause increased arcing and overheats coils. Shop a game properly, and there's no need to high-tap it if the line voltage is adequate.

Definitely a head scratcher I'm glad Spanky hung in there. You guys did an amazing job. That sucks that no parts for those relays. But as you said you got to do what you got to do to keep the game running. Where did you get the new pf?

Steve Young and the pinball resource are National treasures.

Looks like you had to do quite a lot of reverse engineering. I’m happy there are men like you two that care about these lovely old machines.

Congratulations and thanks for the video guys, have yourselves a couple of cold ones.. 👍

Nice video. can't wait to see the troubleshooting aspect. pretty advanced for 1968. Spanky is right on it

It looks like one of the most complex early 4 player machines I’ve ever seen. I bet the schematic is going to be fun to decipher. Thanks for a great 1st video on it.

Thanks guys, I haven’t seen the “flipper, arrow feature” before. Pretty ingenious way of adding interest to a game.

My gottlieb pro-football wont score the 6 points after a touchdown only gives the 6,000 points

Hey my friend and I are currently trying to figure out why the motor on the pinball machine is constantly running from the moment we plug it in? Any tips or insight on this issue?

Great video, I really appreciate you guys making these pinball repair videos, it has helped me out a lot!

Great video. So nice to see such knowledge. I have a Bowling Queen, but a ball became stuck in a gate and the score kept ticking up. I did not know how to stop it so killed the power. Since then I cannot get it to power up again. Any ideas? Thanks again!

It's mentioned to use Sugar Soap for cleaning off grimy/greasy residue from the paint on the cabinet. The equivalent is TSP in Canada and U.S. France and The Netherlands should look into a brand called St Marc. Australia and New Zealand should look at brands named Selleys and XL.

What’s the best way to order Marco and Graham’s books as far as you guys getting the $$?

Great to hang out with you guys, come for the EM knowledge, stay for spanky and the ambient sounds.

Dang! Missed it again, I'll have to move to a different time zone.

Patience and visits to the pub are essential to maintaining focus!

Hi Kim, any idea where I could get one of these AS/FS units for a super spin?

Thanks for the new springs on the snowshoes. They should really help.

Great work as usual. As always it’s not what you do it’s what someone else does for you. Thanks for sharing. Bob. 👍

Great work Graham. The sequence actuator and switch works excellently now. Outstanding.

Incedible find, guys! One definitely has to have good mechanical skills when working on EM machines... and never assume its assembled correctly. Good job!

What does sequence banking mean in pinball games? Sequencing what?

Thanks guys, great stuff as usual. Is it common for so much welding to be on a machine as old as this?

Enjoy your work guys

Great job guys. Very interesting. Thank you.

Great work guys…. Because of its age, and the fact that this game had been left in a container for 5 years before I bought it, it was always going to have lots of problems and issues. I appreciate you finding and dealing with things as they come up.

Fascinating scuff, thanks guys. I recently found a welding job on a machine, they'd welded and threaded a 3 inch nail to repair a broken rod on a bumper ring and rod (it had failed).

Have y’all done a video on how to properly adjust and gap slingshots and stand up targets to keep them sensitive and not hammering?

Unbelievable really !! Love it !!

The sales flyer does show a post at the drain ... but not exactly. the one on this beautiful machine.

I’ll say Super Thanks, but there’s nothing on my screen like that. … for some context, this machine was left stored in a container for 5 years…It was completely seized, rusty, and it was DOA. … I got it to this point, but the locked on bank coil stopped me…all the colours of the wires are the same!! Initially, I was going to use the original light sockets because they looked so good, and they were clean. …Little did I realise that the rust would come marching back. …This is an issue I’ve got to deal with on all the metal on this game….So, now I’m thinking that changing the light sockets is the simple and logical way to cancel the returning rust in the sockets. … So, please be my guest and change them… I’m going to Re clean the frame metal and give it some clear coat for metal. … Anyway, good luck with it, and thanks for taking it on.

He goat guys I really liked the real E M machines over the new ones .

Thanks guys very interesting. I've enjoyed playing this game on CD for many years, great to see the real thing.

Super helpful. Super cool. Super springy. And some philosophy. 😊 Thanks Kim. Wait. You didn't show the fun part when a spring flies across the room and you spend an hour looking for it. 🤡 Spring tension of leaf switches is also important. Sometimes a switch looks closed, but not enough spring tension to let those electrons keep rolling.

Thanks for making these videos and sharing your knowledge.

Can you show how to take a turn out of the spring? Interested in how you would bend it. Thanks. Bob

As always thanks for the info. Bob. 👍

i Did a lot of spring loaded cash registers, springs go week ... Great Stuff For all , I just did all Banks of drop Targets Springs all come up every time Now..

Working on a bingo, too?I think I hear one in the background, need more bingo repair videos

A video from the future here on the canadian east coast...thanks so much once again to make them videos ...always so instructive cheers!!

Excellent advice as always. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
