Nynke had a Pinball machine standing in the way at work. It was a 1986 Pinbot in reasonable condition. It hadn't had service in a long time but the playfield and electronics where in good-enough condition. She asked me if I wanted it. After about 3 seconds of thought I said YES! And am happy I did. It rocks!
It needed a lot of love and in 2 weeks I spent about 60 hours on it.
Things I fixed:
Left flipper rebuilt, it had hardly any power.
Left slingshot fix, it had a burnt-out coil and transistor on the main board.
Fixed 2 loose connections.
Replaced the batteries.
Replaced the original displays with a set from
Pinled.de.
New balls.
Cleaned playing field.
Adjusted switches.
Re-aligned skill-shot.
Replaced plunger.
Replaced all rubbers.
Lot's of screws where missing.
Cleaned drop-targets, had goo on the solenoid.
New bolts for the legs, the old ones where missing.
New height adjusters for the legs.
Replaced a bunch of lights.
Things still broken/could be done:
Speech, perhaps all sound from the main board. The sound board works fine. (partially fixed)
Top of skill-shot is still broken off.
The coin chutes accept guilders, would be nice to modify them to accept Euro's.
