My 1/4 inch socket mysteriously re-appears
Well not exactly….
In my frustration with not being able to find the wretched socket, I was a bit “over-aggressive” with my playfield today. I was so frustrated and angry I shook the playfield (well pushed it up and down actually, but very forcibly and with short, sharp jerking movements – it must have looked funny to anyone watching) and then it happened….
The playfield started to rattle.
A few more shakes later and there was a clunking sound. Sure enough I had shaken the socket loose from wherever it had been stuck and then shaken it out of its location on the playfield and into the cabinet.
My socket was back! I just hope I haven’t ruined my machine in the process.
