any one work on pinball machines

[forbes]

i just got a pinball machine that a buddy restored 4 years ago and has been in storage for 2 years...
it lights up but won't play.
not looking for a freebie... looking for some one to pay

[Stoner]

I used to work on them many years ago. Is it mostly mechanical or digital? What's it doing or not doing? Be specific.

He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean.
plays by intuition,
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells,
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell.
Always has a replay,
'N' never tilts at all
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball.

Even on my favorite table
He can beat my best.
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest.
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall
That deaf dumb and blind kind
Sure plays a mean pin ball!!!

Dumb question but are the fuses good? If so re-seat all of the circuit board connectors. Most of the time pinball machines sit it is usually something stupid that is wrong. Check the MPU circuit board batteries for leaking - many leak and the acid ruins the board. If not more than likely a malfunctioning power supply board. I'm not a professional pinball tech - but I have a few that I maintain myself.

the battery has been relocated, there is some corrosion on the bottom of the board and everything is plugged in tight.
the led behind the score board will flash once when you turn it on and it pauses, then it flashes 2 more times

By the way. There is a huge pinball event here in Texas next month, March 23-25th
at the Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center in Grapevine. http://texaspinball.com/tpf/
