Gears and Bearings- Hard-to-Find Spare Parts

Resourcefulness is the issue here. The best technicians will always have a remedy that could result to permanent makeover for the damaged amusement machines.

Gears and Bearings - A Common Problem to Repairs



Most common amusement machines that are usually encountered to have problems with gears and bearings are those pusher-type amusement machines and those that employ or use stepper motors or ordinary motors. These parts of an amusement machine are the most prone to damage and repair as these are the most parts that move almost 24/7 beginning when amusements open stores up to the closing period.

A Prevalent Problem to Amusement Centers
