Keep the schematic and instruction book with the game

Each game has its own schematic showing wire colours and fuse ratings, and tracing a dead circuit without it is very hard. EM instruction books (or a card stapled inside the cabinet wall near the score motor) also show the motor switch positions, which matter when a motor switch is the fault. Copies can be bought for most games if the originals are gone.
