I've decided that rather than having tools sprawled throughout the basement (which is supposed to be getting cleaned up), I need to figure out exactly what I need specifically for pinball. Clay (who is a pinrepair god in our world) has made many tips pages, and videos going through his own repairs, and a couple months ago I ran across this video where he basically takes apart his briefcase of tools and shows you everything he needs to work on any pinball from any generation:
I want to take what I have, figure out what I need, and just create a giant list of stuff. Then take all that stuff, and somehow dump it into a rolling cart (like an auto mechanic might have), and there'd be drawers, and bins, and platforms sliding out revealing things like soldering irons, and giant light bars, and a retractable cord where I can plug it into a power strip lined on my basement ceiling rafters.
So from the video above (which goes by very quickly in 5 minutes), this is my list. x means I have the part, * means I have part of the item, or I have it but I want something better, and - means I need to buy it:
* powerstrip attached to a rafter & vertical stud
