#100 Under Pressure - The Classic Pinball Podcast

In this 100th episode of The Classic Pinball Podcast, hosts George and Dr. Dave discuss Dave's sale of a Rush pinball machine (which won awards but faced secondary market saturation), a technical deep-dive into Dave's repair of a problematic Lethal Weapon 3 machine where a previous technician installed incorrect high-voltage tungsten flipper contacts instead of low-voltage gold-plated contacts (the root cause of intermittent flipper failures), rising parts prices from vendors like Marco, and progress on a Centaur restoration project. The episode covers themes of music pin fatigue, collector bargain-hunting behavior, technical troubleshooting methodology, and the challenges of managing long-term restoration backlogs.
