Re: Pinball repair near Lincolnshire

Hi, I’m not that close (Hartlepool) but likely heading past your way in January so if you’re not sorted by then I’m happy to take a look. I do EM pinball and other repairs. Feel free to message me with a bit more info about the fault, if it was working before, when /how it stopped etc. Thanks
