Many customers who own a jukebox or pinball machine wait until the winter holidays to get it serviced. I guess they’re thinking, “visitors are coming, we should get it fixed.”

Many customers presume there aren’t many others who own these old things, so they are quite surprised when the schedule openings are over a month away when they call in December. I have 3 to 4 times more customers contacting me in December than any other month. I don’t have any way to scale up to handle those additional customers, when in the spring and summer months things can get slow.

Of course, the people who need to read this won’t be reading this until November or December. But if you happen to be here and contemplating a repair, don’t put it off until next winter.

And now that the holiday work is over, I hope to get back to updating this repair log.
