For years I used to use Marven's Repair Guide..and now Pin Wiki and You-Tube

(I never did find out why in 2011 Marven's Repair Guide was removed from the internet?)

I recently found this link to Part of Marven's Pinball Repair

PINBALL: Repair Williams, Bally Pinball Games 1990-1999 part two

Is this all that remains of this easy to use very comprehensive illustrated guide?? :(

What do you refer/consult when fault finding and repair???
 
Lucky a mate printed me Marvins complete web page years ago...Didnt even knpw Marvins had gone!..
 
As OP pointed out Clay Harrells guides (what many people refer to as Marvins) are still available on the web if you dig around. Team Shoot 'M Again, Verzamelaars van alle soorten amusementsautomaten

Quick recap for those wondering ....Clay used to have them up as a free resource, and what an awesome resource it is ...not for nothing do many pinheads refer to it as the bible. Then he got a bee in his bonnet about something and pulled them and for a short time was charging a small amount for access to them, until some other contributors took issue with this seeing as technically it wasn't all Clays work :rolleyes: So he pulled them altogether...well the solid state stuff, he still has the EM guide and other stuff here .... including the awesome Pinball Ninja repair logs, small charge to access these but well worth it.

PINBALL: Pinball Repair Guides. Collector buys pinball, arcade, coin operated sport games, baseball pitch bat, manikin mannequin games


The PinWiki has since sprung up and is a great resource now, though not as complete at present as Clays stuff.

Norbert Snicers book is a good resource too. Covers the nuts and bolts of Sys 11 and WPC

PINBALL MACHINES How They Work & Troubleshooting by Norbert
Snicer

I *may* have a download of that somewhere, or maybe not ;)
 
Nice one......How about starting an Indexed Forum Library? and adding to?
Thanks for the reasons why Marven/Clay pulled the plug on the guide.... thought it was something more sinister.
I'll sign any disclaimer that plagerism, greed or averice will never dull my enthusiasm. :cool:
