I'm better at repairing them than playing. So I like that best :)

An early discovery of Ballmer peak ?

That the video isn't demonitized, showing that electromechanical porn! XD

Oh wow! The double-coil thing is interesting. I've only encountered that design in a car starter solenoid. The solenoid on a stock VW has a pull-in current of 32A (when it's engaging the starter gear) but a 12A hold current when it's just keeping gear in place and holding the switch closed.

When I was at polytechnic in 1985 the student accommodation had the Flash Gordon pinball machine and I racked up quite a high score on it. As a rule, I found my peak performance was during my third pint of Marston's Pedigree, for some reason it fell off after that... πΊπ

It's the rubber bumpers, etc...
