For example, if you've played an old EM game and you heard a knocking sound when you got an extra ball you could check out the "Knocker" link to see what is causing that sound.  Folks often hear about the release lever that is used to raise the playfield but maybe you don't know where it's located - see the picture.  I also show some tilt mechanisms so you will get an idea of how the tilt mechanism detects you banging on the game.  Or how about the "prop rod" and where it is located?  When I got my first game I used to wonder how they propped the playfield up when they worked on it and then one day noticed this metal rod laying along the side of the cabinet.  A variety of topics are listed below as well as my own extensive EM Cleaning page that describes the process I go through to clean my EM games.  Hope you enjoy the info!
