I reckon all the game mfgrs were just a bunch of dummys for suggesting lubricant! Doggone them pinball engineers anyway. What did THEY know? :)

Yes! Like that one pinball company said to use Novus because it doesn't contain any petroleum distillates. Then later we find out Novus *does* contain petroleum distillates! How could that be? The manufacture made a mistake??? Oh my gawd!

The fact is that engineers are human and therefore prone to mistakes. Geez, just think about all the recalls on auto's and other products due to engineers mistakes! They are just people, no smarter than the repairmen that fix their mistakes.
