Re: Any Taito Bench Tester documentation available?

Hi Phil,

Pinball relays are usually custom made for each manufacturer. They
did not use off-the-shelf relays (for the most part) until the
digital revolution. Wurlitzer jukeboxes and Allied Leisure did use PB
relays in their EM games as well as early EM/SS hybrids. Arcade games
tended to use industrial relays and solenoids - sometimes.

So I can't say that your large stock of relays will appeal to pinball
folks, but they do to we who repair jukeboxes and arcade games.
