Quoted from lecter:

Hello Guys,
I own my first pinball machine (Pinbot ’86) and I’m not experienced in it. In order to avoid any mistakes and defects I must ask you a few questions how to clean the surface of the playfield. Can I use classic cleaning supplies dedicated to furniture? The same question is referred to wax.
Is there any reason that I must use the cleaning supplies and waxes dedicated to pinball machines (they are more expensive)?

I would look at VID's Guide to Cleaning and Waxing Pinball Machines - a good place to start.

Maybe try locking pliers (szczypce blokujące?) on the end. I would use some WD-40 penetrating oil on the bolt first, let it soak in for 15 minutes.

Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

For those folks who installed the CPR backglass in their pinbot, how does it look?

In my opinion, very good, I am quite happy with it, very noticeable difference over the translite.

Quoted from Toine79:

Does anybody have a NOS plastic set for Pinbot.

I know you are looking for NOS, but if you can't find it, CPR has a nice reproduction set available.

Quoted from Vin-bot:

Hi all, I finished my extended restoration of my Pinbot and was wondering what the value of my machine would be in USD.

That is a very nice looking Pinbot. I can't keep up with today's pricing so I wouldn't hazard a guess, but Pinside recent sales seem to be in the $3,000 -$3,500 range for nice examples, probably not as nice as this one. Glad I got mine when I did

Edit: Should have looked at the other posts first, more of the same here...

Quoted from pkc204:

Can anyone recommend a legit business to purchase such lights and exactly what it entails to complete such a conversion.

Several to choose from:
Comet for lights https://www.cometpinball.com/
Or order through Pinball Life https://www.pinballlife.com/storefront.html
Or Marcos https://www.marcospecialties.com/control/main
Or, a little harder to use but a great resource Steve Young Pinball Resource http://www.pbresource.com/
and for Pinbot specific parts, Planetary Pinball Planetary Pinball https://www.planetarypinball.com/

These are all legitimate, long time businesses. You will probably be ordering a lot of stuff through them over the years - welcome to the hobby!
