Pinball Repair Forum? KEN?
« on: March 09, 2006, 08:33:50 pm »
This is mainly a  post directed to Mr. Layton. Where can i find a good pinball repair forum (mainly for older EM machines )? I recently purchased a good conditioned EM and it needs some work. Thanks in advance for the help,

I'd certainly try... I'm not all that experienced in EMs, though I do have one sitting in my basement waiting its turn.

Basically, if you can't or don't want to get your help here, RGP and marvin3m are the places to go.

Like Chad said marvin3m would be a good place to start:
http://www.marvin3m.com/em/index.htm

Not to sound like a broken record but they also sell dvds on repairing em's too.  Again at $8 shipped it's a decent deal.

Good luck!

Try www.pinball-forum.com

There's also the newsgroup, rec.games.pinball if you can get through the spam.

Klov.com's forums section has a pinball repair forum.
