Quoted from CollinT:

Glad nobody stole Pinbot, definitely got excited and jumped the gun telling Pinside. Lesson learned
Looks like the playfield is in pretty good condition for sitting in a barn garage for the last 6 years. All the plastics are there and not cracked.
The rubbers are dry rotted as expected and there is some alkaline damage. The owner did take the batteries out when he saw them leaking years ago. I have only cleaned the glass and the translite.
Haven’t turned it on yet but the owner said it did work years ago but had switch problems. Or problems from the batteries leaking. I’m going to read up before I attempt to turn it on.

Congrats on your find. It looks like you have quite a bit of alkaline damage, not sure if it has eaten through your traces yet. If you need repairs and are not going to do it yourself, I would recommend Chris Hibler. He resurrected my Space Station board.
