Re: Preparation for leaving mid 80s solid state pinball on 24/7

Put a timer on the power point and switch it off at night?

Hey all,

I'm going to move my 1986 6803 Bally Lady Luck to my work's break
room. I've gone through and shopped it, but haven't done much with
any preventative maintenance on it besides lowering the score display
voltage to 170ish.

What would you recommend I could do for preparation for leaving the
game on 24/7? It will probably only be played for about 30mins to 1
hour a day at most. The majority of the time, it will just be in
attract mode. I know they were made for commercial use, and this
would be very light use, but turned on for a long time. I'll be here
5 days a week and would be able to work on anything that broke (I'm
imagining the drop targets are going to cost me a fortune :) ).

Any ideas are welcomed. Thanks!

-Pat
