WIRED caught up with an electromechanical pinball machine maker at Maker Faire 2009 and found out just how one of these old-school arcade pieces actually work and keep score. It’s a lot of technical information (I honestly don’t understand most of it), but it’s fascinating to see the inside of what I used to think was a fairly simple device. I would love to have a pinball machine in my own place in the future.
