Jacksonville, FL
This was my first pin I got 18 years ago which led me to get rid of 75% of my arcade games. Then my wife and I bought a one story house since we had a kid on the way. The night before we were moving I was doing some final touches on the new house and busted my hand causing me to get 8 sutures. With the help from some really good friends I was able to move.
The only issue I had was with all the big wrapping on my hand I swapped the AC & DC plugs when I moved my Pin Bot. It took a year or so searching eBay before I found probably a barley working F14 11A board. It worked, but I was getting errors on startup: 1. Adjust switch 40 Enter ramp 2. 52 Top Jet? (not sure about this one) 3. Switch 55 right sling. The game still played fine except the right sling not working and within a few months I was able to max out the score once again. The only issue I was having was intermittent lock ups during game play and the codes. With a kid, and other stuff life moved on and it sat unused for a years.
So now we just moved again to a larger house and I won’t wake my wife or kid while working or playing my pin anymore. I just finished repairing my arcades and its way past time to get this Pin Bot back up again. I tested it before I moved it and the mask is in the open position, the left rear solenoid is inop, both eyes, eye cover/bumper is down, the balls will not advance and the right sling is not working, drop targets are also stuck down. I have a few ICs I purchased for unknown reason years ago, but it’s been sitting idle for almost 10 years.
One other issue when I got this game is the door diagnostic buttons are incorrect, so I guess that would be the first thing to purchase, but I’m not sure where.
Arcades are easy for me, but with all the issues, this Pin Bot seems intimidating and other than the door switches I’m not sure where to start.
Thanks in advance for any help!
