I wouldn't necessarily jump to that conclusion. These days, many people are allies to marginalised groups and speak out against racism, discrimination etc. It has to be a good thing.
😃 yeah this is also a possibility, it can be testing at times for sure. I had watched This Old Pinball DVDs before so had an idea what I was getting into.
The worst that can happen is you find out it's not for you and sell it on to someone else in the community.
What I learned for next time is...
As someone who is approaching the end of their first EM project pin, I'd recommend folks pick this up. You will need need some patience and time though, but it's been a really enjoyable experience.
It's impressive how quickly you went from concept to final revision in those timescales. You must have been working like a Trojan, quality work as always Davey.
Not wanting to be a negative Nancy but I was surprised by the cost of rail fares, €43 for a day return to Amsterdam from Rotterdam isn't cheap when comparing to similar Journeys from where I am.
Wouldn't deter me from going again though.
What adhesives are folks using for these blue square rubbers, tried hot glue but no dice?
I'm thinking I should rough up the glue side for better contact.

Not quite Stew, smaller heads, this was the bundle I bought albeit I only use the smaller broom like heads.
48 PCS Brass / Stainless Steel Wire Brush Wheel Set, Mini Wire Brush Wheel Cup Brush for Power Rotary Tools Polishing, Cleaning Metal Rust, Drill Attachment Bit Set 1/8 Inch(3mm) Shank...
In addition to cleaning contacts removing any pitting I would strip and clean the mechs e.g. stepper units, score reels. Clip a couple of windings off any springs that need it.
These guys seem to know what they are doing

Fitted @Paul 's JJP capacitor kit to my Guns 'n' Roses. I wasn't one who noticed a great deal to be honest but thought I'd give it a go its a cheap mod. Had a couple of games and it's quite noticeable like playing the game in a new gear.
I would imagine the smoke is a locked on coil.

There's a schematic on that site that you can download.
Good luck, I'm working on my first EM just now and really enjoying it.
Played the pro in Rotterdam and it didn't do much for me but it did feel like there was a good game in there wanting to break out, hopefully we get to play a Premium at Pinfest
