Pinball rite of passage

[ailsaclunie]

I used to jam a piece of sponge ( not Victoria! ) into the trough eject to the shooter lane to save taking the balls out when lifting the playfield. I lost count of the number of times I put the glass back in and tried to start a game, sponge still jammed in there. I've got out of that habit luckily and just take them out.

Kev - I was once helping to set up someone else’s machine and found a pair of their old y fronts in the trough- I kid you not

how was the RFM that let the special smoke out? It was pretty bad, and then nobody couldn't find its power button?

I didn’t investigate too much but I did ask the owner who said he was using clothes from his luggage in his efforts to Save time

I bought a couple of games from a member on here who clearly didn’t know how to eject the balls. Each time she used old underwear to plug the shooter lane.
It was rather disturbing…….

I think that was Pete the Electrician's game - glad it wasn't me that broke it this year,,,
