The stories here are reproduced with permission from Bob Roberts. The reason for the duplication from the original site is to allow these pages to be searchable (when that functionality goes on-line). Many Thanks go to Bob for providing this valuable information. Now go buy some parts from him :-)

And Now from Bob himself...

These are the "Ramblings" of Bob Roberts and may not necessarily be the popular consensus, but rather things that have always worked for me, along with some "How to's" and ideas I have picked up on over my 40 years of fixin' coin-op stuff. My intentions are to make this as basic as possible, so that newbies can grasp the concepts readily.

I know there is a ton of info lurking up here already, and hopefully this will not be a duplication, but rather a further help to the newbie or the full fledged collector/tech. No techie stuff! Use info at your own risk, although I am still kicking...I might just be lucky :)
