I have enjoyed watching you work on this and other EMs! Brought back many memories of working on them in 1970 as opened the first arcade in Michigan. This like reading a good book for me! One thing I wanted to mention, in terms of cleaning or burnishing a contact point, I use a very fine file that you can purchase made for cleaning these contacts. I have a burnishing file that Gottlieb sold that has fine diamond dust on it with a plastic handle. Business cards were used on contacts in solid-state games only. I own several myself and make house calls once in a while. Your skills are right up there with some of the best EM diagnostic engineers. (Use to own almost 2,000 games during the high point in the history of the sport. I enjoy hearing that "knock" free game sound today as much as when I opened my first arcade.
Thank you Norman, we appreciate you sharing your memories with us... yes I love working on these EM's, we have some that we're working on right now and filming that will be up soon, it's fun to bring another back from the dead! Thank you for watching, we appreciate it!
New fan of your page. I'm in the market for my first em. Your videos are really detailed and giving me more confidence to fix my own issues in the future. Keep these coming and great work!!
In my Space Mission I put in a blinker bulb in the center of the satelite dish and I think it looks cool makes it look like it is sending and receiving signals. ;) And I use 600 grit sand paper and only do it a couple times and it usually is fine to use. :)
Underneath the cabinets of those arcade game units to me seems similar to early GREEK gear systems of the ancient world, when we Grays visited Athens in the medieval era of Earth's civilization.

That's pretty cool, good use of a blinker bulb :)

I think you might be onto something.
I am a big fan of that History channel guy with the wacky hairdo, he always puts in a good word or about us all the time.
you can use wonder bread to clean score reels gently
I could see that working... but then what would I make sandwiches with????!!!!?????
hahaha! AH YES, JOE. The ole 'white bread' cureall. :^D
Any chance you could do a video on a em pinball, my flipper has a loud buzzing, I replaced the coil and its still doing it ?
How old is that? Is it from 70th or even earlier?
1976, very cool game.
Hey Joe, newb here, really enjoying your videos, can you tell me where the Jones plug is located for the 3-5 ball adjustment? Thanks!
Illuminate the area you're talking about please.
Give me a price for the back glass
Unfortunately I already fixed ours! Where were you three weeks ago? LOL
