Dear Sun Spots: I have a 1984 Williams pinball machine and I’m having trouble finding a person to work on it and fix it. Could you please give me a list of any and all pinball machine repair businesses in the Maine and New Hampshire area that could fix or repair my machine. Thank you very much. – Mark, Sabattus.

Answer: In addition to responses from readers, both of these tapes are available on Amazon.com, with prices starting at one penny! You may also want to visit Bull Moose Music in the Lewiston Mall or Video Liquidators at 850 Lisbon St., Lewiston. Both stores buy videos from customers and resell them. Unfortunately, they don’t have lists of their tape inventories, but it would be worth checking them out.
