I am so impressed to see a young man like yourself want to get into fixing EMs. That wrap on that machine was BAAAAADDD.

This is a great video. I would LOVE to work on pinball machines. I don't have the floorspace. You are a lucky man. Thanks for taking the time to video your process.

I can tell you exactly why they disconnected the bells… tinnitus

I'm somewhat disappointed in the fact that we don't see EMs as much anymore, I mean I understand exactly why but their mechanical nature is just a whole lot more interesting, of course that doesn't outweigh the cost of production and amount of repairs needed, but still they're pretty awesome

nice find.the gottliebs are kinda touchy on the relays.always start with the steppers,i have saved many of these older ems.

It doesn't matter if its indexed. its the 0-9 unit. As long as its on a rivet. its good. It it actuated by the 1 point relay. It als has the match feature.

Use a heat gun to remove the adhesive wood grain. Also, I would suggest using a scraper and not a screwdriver.<br><br>And while I greatly prefer a Bally score motor to a Gottlieb, they're excellent pinball machines. And I'm only 54.

Underrated video!<br>Edit: as for the gear with the broken tooth, i believe you could recreate it in CAD software and maybe 3D-print it?

Why gloves? And why are they greasy? There should be zero grease .... Solenoid sleeve should be dry....
