I posted on the forum before but thought I would make my ownership official and ask to join the club.
I picked up my Pinbot this spring for $400 and a 4 hour drive,(definitely well worth it). Unfortunately the Playfield has been re-painted poorly and beyond my abililities to correct.
The cabinet has normal wear for its age but mechanically very sound with everything under the playfield working properly. It had light corrosion on the CPU main board and was causing intermittent problems during game play. I sent the board to Chris Hibler to be serviced, the corrosion addressed and a VRAM installed. The player 4 display was nearly gassed out and I acquired a replacement from Big Daddy's and un-soldered and re-soldered the new one in. I also had a bad trace on the master display board that was causing the d segments to not light up on both the 3rd and 4th player displays but was able to fix that myself.
In the meantime I heard there was a gold CPR playfield stashed away but available on Goggle groups. I had this confirmed by another Pinsider who was nice enough to give me the seller’s name. I purchased the playfield from him as well as a set of CPR replacement plastics from Larry at Starship Fantasy.
My visor is badly damaged and partially melted but I was lucky enough to score a replacement off a parted out Jackpot and now only need the correct decal for it.
Funny thing, I seriously thought about selling this game over the summer because I picked up several more projects and my shop is full. I even offered it to another pinsider but the Pinbot is just to cool and I don’t know when I’ll have another opportunity to do this game again.
I’d like to give a shout out to Vid for his rotisserie plans. This is the second pinball playfield I’ve used it on and they work great.
Lastly to cosmokramer and Plumonium for their well documented Pinbot restorations that have helped me out all ready.
Here we go, T-nuts installed…
