Stepping out of the elevator feels like walking into warehouse-size skull containing a massive brain — if that brain were imagined by a 19th-century electromechanical inventor.

These “electromechanical transient,” or EMT, models can simulate the behavior of inverter control systems in exquisite detail, showing how they react to disturbances.

A pinball repair technician lifts the playfield of Argosy, the last four-player electromechanical manufactured by Williams, to demonstrate the technical assembly tucked beneath.

But owner Daryll Rardon said it has become so difficult to find workers — especially welders, machine operators and electromechanical assemblers — that he’s holding on to his 26 employees and actively recruiting new ones.
