fork lugs for power supply screw

selection of Molex connector bod-
ies so I can replace burnt or dam-
aged ones as well as make cable
connections on the spot.

HOME PAGE ON THE
Hardware - every nut, bolt, or
screw I find in my work either
goes back where it belongs or it
goes into my hardware tin.
Twenty years later I have quite a
collection. I use a tin container
from tea leaves, but a piece of the
wife's Tupperware should work as
well. I like to keep a couple things
separate: carriage bolts and nuts
for joystick mounting, sheet
metal screws for power supply
mounting and many other uses,
drywall screws ("all purpose"
screws) for cabinet repair, coin
mech mounting screws, E-rings,
roll pins, set screws. I find that
empty fuse boxes with their slid-
ing lid are handy for storing some
of these small items.

WELL, THAT'S MY TOOL BOX,
Electronic components- I like to carry
a small selection of capacitors for
monitor and power supply repair,
1 and 3 amp diodes (I stock fast
recovery types, too, for power sup-
ply repair), some pinball type tran-
sistors, and a big 35 amp bridge
rectifier.

While you are calling for cata-
logs, you really should get to
know the WW Grainger company.
They are an industrial supply
company with branches in all
fifty states. Their phone-book-
sized catalog includes tools and
power tools, warehouse items
like parts shelves and bins and
hand trucks (two wheel dolly),
and Dayton motors. Dayton mo-
tors come in a thousand types
and you see many of them work-
ing in redemption equipment
and elsewhere. It is a lot cheape1
to buy these motors from the"
source than from the game
maker, and often a lot faster.
