JBL guy,
You must have enjoyed what you did. I've often dreamed of doing pinball/video game repairs as a professional but around my area (NYC suburb) it pays almost nothing..

Thanks for the reply...Yep it is that way around here also if you work full time for them not much money in it.

But this was just a part time gig and I told him that the only way I would do it was on a per unit basis and he had to supply the parts...

IIRC and it has been a long time...I charged him $50.00 a piece and I could usually knock out 8 or 10 on a Saturday afternoon...Most of them just had simple common problems...But he had not been able to find anyone with any experience...Bad for him good for me.

Thanks again for the reply.
