Just thinking on from postings on from the 'Dr Who decal application' thread - is there any scope/potential/interest for some form of 'pinball master class' seminars to be run by those who have relevant expertise to explain & demystify some of the areas of pinball fixing, modding & restoration?
I never cease to be amazed about how what appears to be the most obscure or specific question get answered so quickly and readily, as well as questions from relative newbies ( such as myself) are answered so helpfully and comprehensively.
I appreciate there is a lot of knowledge regularly shared on here from what appears to be a very pool of knowledge, but could that knowledge to channelled and shared through a short series of masterclasses from people who have the knowledge and are happy to share?
Could such 'master classes' be run alongside one or more of the larger pinball events or on a dedicated day?
Where and when?
What would be good topics?
On the latter question my initial suggestions would include:
- how to best clean & polish a playfield;
- how to do an LED conversion
- how to rebuild a flipper;
- tricks and techniques for re-rubbering a machine;
- how to polish all your your bits up (ooh err missus..)
What would be on your list?
Do you think it could be an idea, or is it just me swirling around in a vast pool of largely unknown pinball knowledge?
