Well, as you guys predicted, I bought my 2nd machine yesterday. I can definitely see my addiction growing. I found a Pinbot that seems in very good shape although it has a few electronic problems. Playfield is really nice and the only wear I notice is at the eye socket kickbacks. The cabinet is pretty nice with a few scuffs and scratches but overall quite good for its age. Back box is nice too and the back glass seems almost blemish free. There's Mylar covering almost the entire playfield (is that common?) but the Mylar is in good shape too.

Electrically, there's some issues. There's a problem with the credit button not registering which seemed to fix itself when I began tracing it back so maybe an open wire somewhere? It started working and I was able to play a few games until it started acting funny on startup. Goes into attract mode fine and tries to start a game but doesn't kick out a ball and lights on left target bank just keep blinking. I'm going to go through the switch test to see if something is stuck on. Wish me luck!

Thanks Policano. I've got it figured out. Visor targets were being blocked from rising by the left post which is not mounted well. Going to fix where it mounts to the playfield and I should be good to go. Need to get some games in to see if there are any other problems but looks good so far.

Here's a few pics:

So, it looks like I'm missing a plastic piece under the visor that prevents the ball from hopping up inside the visor area. Any idea where one can be ordered? I checked a couple sites but could not seem to find that piece listed.

Yeah working on them is half the fun. Omg don't tell my wife 4 by Xmas! She's really liking the difference in play style between the wide body Laserball and the fast and unforgiving Pinbot.

Thanks Zippy!

Yeah not even sure what its out of but it sure causes hang ups. That protector set looks like a good idea.

I'm loving it already! Getting in some nice games while I make my list of broken/missing pieces and other things. Now, if I can just keep my wife from destroying my high score......
