Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

No you don’t. I got the machine LED’d and most of the playfield working, but never got past the MPU board. The guy I traded the Pinbots with couldn’t get them working either and traded them… that’s 4 owners within a month so far as I can tell.

The final owner was me. However, I moved twice, was already building a game from scratch, and had to help a friend manage a whole bunch of his own broken machines. I found another CPU for the game - already with the right ROMs, at that - and that one won't boot up either. Pinbot's circuits are not yet activated.

BUT!! One way or another, I will not give up! I just got finished putting the 1.5 Pinbots in my new house's workshop area, which required removing the head from the complete game, because that specific title has a backbox too wide to fit through an older residential door. Once the game room has floor space again, I'm going to dig in and finally build a Bot that works.

...and then I have to clean and fix the Jungle Queen dumpster rescue after that.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

I fully expect to see pictures when done.

I will take plenty of them for sure then! There are at least four local people clamoring to see the Pinbot come to life, so I will have little chance to forget about that one. JQ is going to need quite a bit of work (including some significant cabinet repair) but I have high hopes for that one as well.
