Question from Paul: Hello,
I am writing to find out a little information in behalf of my 18 year old son. He is just about to graduate high school and for the last 6 years or so has become almost obsessed with older video games and pinball machines. It has become his true passion, and he would like to be able buy and fix up games. So my quesrion is, where would the best place be to get started? He has no real skills at this point and unfortunately neither do I.
Would you be able to point us in the right direction?
Thanks,
Paul

Response from Jonathan: Paul,
We’re glad to hear about your son’s interest in arcade video games and pinball machines. We’ve heard from many young people like your son who are excited about coin operated gaming not just as a hobby but possibly as a career. The best way to get familiar with working on arcade games is to watch our videos, read our posts and listen to our podcasts. All of this information can be found on our website at http://www.arcaderepairtips.com. We also sell DVDs that contain some additional videos not found on our website such as soldering tutorials, introductions to different electronic parts and some advanced repair tutorials as well. You can purchase our DVDs from the Arcade Repair Tips Online Store at http://www.arcaderepairtips.com/store. Of course, he can also send any questions he has to us and we’ll try to answer them in a timely manner.
Hope that helps. Thank you for your questions and good luck with your future repairs.
