a little from column A, a little from column B.
the site USED to be free.
where, even many of the members here, submitted and received credit for their tips and tricks on fixing pinball machines.
then the guy running the site decided one day a number of months back he was going to charge for the info saying, among other things, that the information was copyrighted, bla bla bla and other nonsense, even the user submitted info. so yeah everybody here kinda has a bad taste in their mouth regarding the whole thing.
as for PBJ, he has a unusual sense of humor, i wouldn't take it to heart.
but, you are in luck, the site Ken mentioned has been started by the afore mentioned users to try and get back the wealth of information those pages contained, but someone has managed to dump the info and save it to another site.
