Hey folks. Picked up a nice Pinbot and am finishing up my second player's level restoration effort with all the great info from pinsiders. It's coming out pretty nice. It has the usual broken ramp plastic and am jumping in with the Jackbot alternative - awesome! Now I'm down to finding two remaining plastics. The spaceship bridge scene on the lower left playfield and plastic by the pop bumpers (see pics) If anyone has intact extras please shoot me a pm. I'd love to purchase them and would be super grateful. Thanks folks!

Thank you to the many pinsiders that reached out. I was able to get a hold of the plastics I was looking for. Very much appreciated. What a great forum!

A lot of folks, including myself, have been disappointed with yellow leds. They just don't project well. The color inserts on the pinbot 5x5 grid are so nice you can't go wrong with doing all white leds. The color levels will be equal and vibrant.

Leds are always a manner of personal taste

Excellent point about faded inserts - very true. And using white for the yellow is the way to go.

Well, again, tastes vary. Frosted domes will diffuse the light more. If you go to the comet pinball website they have some good examples of what the light patterns for the different types, domes and number of led or smd, look like. That may help with the decision. Regardless, IMO going to leds for pinbot is doing to be great for you! And it brings the heat down on the plastics and inserts. Enjoy!!
