Hi,
Great idea, I'm a newbie and will happily soak up info and look forward to a thread that every beginner is pointed to when they join. I was thinking about this, I'm a network techie and have been doing my job for a month shy of 10 years, some of the juniors I train ask questions that seem so obvious to me but they are truly stumped despite trying their best for hours/days, natch I help them, but it made me think that I've forgotten how daunting it can be and how clueless I was in that field when I started. This principle applies to pinball too I think. I'm still a total newbie with pinball, but to give an example from my experience, I had zero idea that you could open the coin door, reach inside to the right for a lever and then take the bar off, to then lift up the playfield table and prop it up like a car bonnet. No idea at all that even existed. I stumbled across it while watching youtube vidoes before getting my first machine.
Great idea for a thread it will help many people out, and if I can contribute as a lab test rat, please let me know as I'd love to help.
Cheers,
Johnny
