Greetings! I recently purchased a Pinbot machine. Everything works great with exception to missing portions of numbers and/or letters in display one and two as well as the display for match and ball number. Alpha numeric displays 3 and 4 are working properly and are not missing any portions of numbers/letters. Any suggestions with how to approach fixing the problems would be appreciated, additionally, where can I get the manual or wiring diagrams for Pinbot? Thanks for any or your comments! DanielM.

Welcome!

I don't know much about this specific issue, but I can give you a couple leads to start with. Pinwiki is a terrific place to learn to work on these games. Here's the guide there for Williams System 9-11 games (Pinbot is System 11). https://www.pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Williams_System_9_-_11

Also, you can find the complete manual and schematics for free to download from ipdb.org. Here's a direct link: https://www.ipdb.org/files/1796/Williams_1986_Pin_bot_Manual.pdf

You may also want to check out the Pinbot club here at pinside:

Good luck with your game! You may find the solution to be fairly simple, could be a connector that needs to be replaced or repaired. Whatever the case, you'll find tons of info in the tech forums here and at pinwiki.
