I thought there were differences with the visor and maybe something else in the early production but I have never heard of PB proto. Probably just selling point.
Quoted from NJGecko:OK. I just wasn't sure if I was missing something there. I know that I always have a lot to learn in this hobby, and thought maybe it was some super rare grail
A lot of times the programmable ROMs will be labeled "proto", and in most cases that is very common...and socketed ROMs are easily transferred between games. Overall from the pics, there is nothing obviously different from my own PinBot. You could always shoot the seller a message asking for the serial number. If anything, that will tell you how early in production that particular game is.
That said, the price isn't too far off for the overall condition if you could keep it closer to the opening bid rather than the bin price.
