Tonight we’re troubleshooting some sound issues. There are a few switches that aren’t generating sounds like they should—primarily my flippers, which should be making a blaster sound on coil fire.

Back to the Space Invaders pin for a bit! I got my NVRAM installed, which is a corrosion-free way to store settings and high score data. For context, when this game was released in 1980, it came with batteries, but over time those can leak and really mess up the boards. #pinball

Time to replace the hold relay coil. This one basically just fell out. See that plastic piece on the bottom? That’s supposed to extend out much further and that’s where the wires would be soldered on. This one is very old (maybe the original from 1972!) and definitely due to be replaced. #pinball

Fixing this during some breaks today. This is the tens score reel and it’s not resetting. First step is to disassemble and clean, then we’ll see what comes next.

Too many choices make us miserable.

My count of unplayed podcasts is inversely proportional to my time spent being bored / doing boring things. I struggle with watching this number creep higher. It's been hard for me to make time for podcasts. My days have changed so much over the past few years - more work meetings, I have a kid, etc
