Quoted from goingincirclez:Right now there is one panel available. I'm waiting on confirmation on another, if that falls through there will be a second available.

Quoted from PM_Jeremy:Congrats Blitz!
I think it has potential...Mylar, keep or not to keep?
Lots of switch errors...will start digging in this week. I wanna play it so bad...
Where can a guy find the colors decal that goes on top of the raising targets in front of the visor?
Also, just discovered the back ramp is cracked near the exit above the bagatelle. Any repro out there? Advice on how to glue it or protect from further damage?
Quoted from jibmums:Keep the mylar. Lose the yellow flipper bats.
What color should they be? White? Which orientation of the “W” logo is most historically accurate? Which is better?

Quoted from Azfalconfixer:I'm working with a company to make new decals. I haven't seen them yet though. If they workout I could order a few sets.
That would be fantastic! Freeplay40 plans on doing a run of replacement ramps in near future...his latest batch of space station in blue pteg are STUNNING! Would look great on Pinbot and drive demand for stickers

Topper flashers question: when I put in the middle four flashers, they stay on continuously. Put the incandescent back in, and they work properly. Any ideas why? The outer two on each side work perfect with all LED flashers.
I switched around different flasher and same issues no matter what I put in
Does anyone sell the little plastic shuttle piece above the vortex? It’s missing on my game.
Vortex ramps are on ebay. Just bought one. The flap comes uncut so you need to trim it. I just moved the original one over instead of cutting new.
Ok. Dumb question. Where is the volume control in Pinbot? Or is it there are no dumb questions, just dumb people?
Finally got all the GI done. With the Comet 2smd natural white frosted, finding little details that wasn’t noticed before..like blue pop bumper aprons! Haha
Quoted from Drivemycar33:Volume on mine is under playfield on left side near tilt mechanism...for what it is worth
Finally found it..way back farther than I was looking in the cabinet on the left. Thanks!
Quoted from chaskett:How did you install the speaker grille? Is it held on with adhesive?
There was a strip of Velcro type, loop and hook, tape included when I received. I cut it into 5 pieces, with one on each corner and a bigger piece top middle. Did you get one?
I’m concerned about my helmet shield needing adjusted. When it’s down and the bank of targets is up, a ball hit to the bank of targets will hit the shield that sits behind it. I’m worried it might cause it to crack.
Also, how high does the shield supposed to raise up when it’s time to lock the balls? Move moves up but not very far. Anyone have a pic of theirs in the up position?
Quoted from chaskett:Ok... dumb question... i have never had a machine with a 2nd playfield... does the feme-bot mini field get waxed? No, right? Since it's plexi?
I would just clean it real good with Novus 1 and call it good

What size head bolts fit it in the backbox? I had a few wing nut top bolts, but they aren’t long enough. Thanks in advance!

What is the best ROM to install in pinbot? I’ve heard of a newer version that helps with tournament play? Is this true?
Quoted from ReadyPO:In my opinion, very good, I am quite happy with it, very noticeable difference over the translite.
The early Whirlwind’s has some quality issues. I actually went back with the original Translite because the CPR colors seemed washed out when I put it in.
How about the mirroring? Is it noticeable when backbox lights are in? That was another area of Whirlwind that I wasn’t impressed with. There wasn’t much mirror effect to see, except at certain angles with the game off.

Quoted from Toine79:Beautiful. What kind of white did you use as GI? Matching colors under the inserts?
GI bulbs are Comet 2smd cool white frosted
Inserts are all original incandescents except for color matching comets under the big rainbow block in front of pinbot. (I ran out of bulbs for the rest of the inserts and haven’t got back to it yet)
Backbox are comets color matched as tasteful as possible

When a guy locks one eye ball, the PinBot says something. My buddy thinks he says “Paco Cinco”. I can’t make out what he says. Does anyone know what PinBot says when the first ball is locked?
Quoted from Billc479:Read the post too quickly. I thought OP was referring to the ramp. My bad.
I’d take a new ramp, too! More rare than hen’s teeth

Quoted from RichWolfson:$59 no decals or flap but a bargain as I have not seen them for sale before particularly from the original molds.
///Rich
They have the decals and ramp flap:

Quoted from orangegsx:I had some scanned an recreated for a project I was working on. I had a few extra made but only one set left. If a few people are interested I can have some more made.
I’m up for a set...

Quoted from sethbenjamin:Hey all...Finally gearing up to do a playfield swap on my PB. I have freeplay40 's cool 2-color ramp, but looks like I missed the window on ramp decals?
Nice sanity-maintaining Covid project, I drew the decals in Illustrator. Unfortunately, my printer's black just isn't as deep as it should be.
I'm happy to share the files if anybody wants to print new ramp decals; if you can print them more nicely, just do me a solid and send me a set?
It's really weird that nobody is making repros of these.
[quoted image][quoted image]
I would be in for a set, too. Just let me know where to send payment...
For anyone who has installed the CPR mirrored backglass, where did you get the lift channel, etc from?

Quoted from GRUMPY:There is a resistor board in the back box that needs the warming resistors removed to correct this.
Is there a detailed turtorial on how to convert the topper lights to LED?
