I am recovering from shoulder surgery and got bored on a rainy/sleet day.
I had not played my Twilight Zone all summer and now most of the winter. It would not start, no lights no sound except a loud buzzing. It was hard to reach and I just played the Bride of Pinbot or head down to my gameroom if I had the urge to play pinball. I finally moved stuff around and was able to reach back to the head box and re-seated every connector and turned if on, and it came back to life. I then had to kill a swiffer dusting it off so I could see the play field. I had a fun few games! I then disassembled and repaired my large format printer, finally.
dusted off and wiggled the connections

Wow it happened again! I had a rain day last week and just heard Twilight zone on the radio so I went in to play the machine, I needed to wipe the dust from the glass and wiggle the connectors to get it to play, these do not like to be left alone! I turned them on yesterday and the BOP had a broken rubber band on the kicker. I had to play it so I put a couple rubber bands on to get by. Surprising it worked! I will need to order a new set, it doesn't seem like they should be old enough to be wore out, but time flies...
