@PeteB LEDS are prob a good idea. I haven't as I personally like the soft original 80s/90s glow.
But I'd also like to add that the whole lending of a machine to the pub is all at my own risk. and I have noticed things happen/weaken that makes no odds to most, but as it's my machine I know I'll have to rebuild the flippers etc when it's home. can still make all shots etc, so not super weak, but I know.
I'd also prob say I've been lucky! sticking a who dunnit in is risky....not a common game. when I stick getaway in, parts are easier to come by.
This also needs to be a factor.
My.restored corvette which I've needed much help getting parts for.....NOT A CHANCE of putting it in the pub. way to precious and valuable to me. and having the forum help to restore it.
Also, if u are thinking of putting a machine in a pub to earn a few quid, can I suggest u don't abuse people's help/freebies/kindness to aid your machine which is making YOU money. That, in my book, isn't right. For ur own machine, at home, that u are genuinely needing help, fine.
Any questions u have I am happy to help. I'm no expert, but always like to see pinball put there on site again!
