Wow, I can't believe how I haven't stumbled on this thread earlier. I applaud you for bringing an Orbitor 1 back to life. It's an awesome game. Don't let the haters (of which there are -a lot- for this game) tell you otherwise.

I've owned and shopped two O1's during the years. Made a video on gameplay a few years ago too.

Hopefully you'll find everything you need to get your game up and running. I think you will. And I'm very curious on how it'll look with your plans on lighting the game. Best of luck!

I just found this schematic for the 'Rotor Sensor PC Board' in my pile of manuals and schematics.

Not sure if you have them or even need them, but I could not find them on ipdb.

I have more original Orbitor 1 schematics here. If you need any info from them, just shout.

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

My tech still hasn’t had a chance to revise the boards that we tested. Just tweaking the Opto.
Working on machining the bracket now.

Keep up the good work!

Here's a little video featuring O1 to keep you motivated.

Quoted from ReadyPO:

Cool video, really captured the evolution of pinball from the late 70s to the 90s in a short five minutes!
The second schematic at the beginning was pinbot, but couldn't tell if the first one was a real PF or not.

Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated!

The first schematic in the video is from Bally's Black Jack.
