The Ultimate Part Time Job!
ChadTower:
It's a good position to be in. Shopping dot matrix era machines can take a LOT longer if you don't know the techniques for keeping track of the playfield toys and aren't familiar with them. My TZ took me like 40 hours, though the shop job was more extensive, a lot of that was simply because I had to reverse engineer the toys and then remember how to put them back together. So having someone involved that can do that quickly will really show you the ropes much much faster.

You're right. And if I ever do decide to get into DMD machines (mainly the two ST machines), I'll know hw to shop them out. Starting to like The Sopranos machine as well, fun the price is not justifyable compared to the the quality of the gameplay. I still prefer the early Solid States and Late EMs.
ChadTower:
The guy I was working with for a little while is a MASTER at that. Dude can take a TZ (which is generally the hardest to shop), tear the whole thing down, shop it very clean, put it back together, in about 3 hours, alone. And considering he just takes all the parts and dumps them on a table with no sorting method or tracking of what is part of what, I still am amazed by the ability.

Shoot, if I take 5 bolts off my car, I get lost putting them back on. ;D
I don't think I ever want to shop a pin.
ChadTower:
Pins with lots of toys are a real pain. It's a labor of love thing. Pins without tons of toys are all mostly the same and take far less time once you become competent at it. Not tons of variation in type and number of parts.
