I mentioned in a previous post I had picked up my first (and only - according to my wife) Pinball Machine.
PinBot was a steal!! It was playable in the sense that it would eventually spit out a ball and you could bang it around the board.
A few of the toys didn’t work.
With the help of my daughter and step-son we got it almost to 99% good!
- We changed out the yellow leaf switch buttons - with stock clear red ones.
- We replaced a ton of burnt out bulbs also a micro-switch in the ball trough to indicate both
were in there! (Kinda like Johns Opto issue only instead of infared - Pinbot used a crooked wire and a micro-switch.) - We also replaced the little motor and 2 hooked micro-switches that opens and closes the helmet.
There is still the issue of the ramp that raises but can't seem to lower - I think I have to replace a magnetic solenoid thingie...
Incidentally, I bought all the parts from
http://www.marcospecialties.com/The site is great - you choose your game and it lists all the available parts for JUST that game!
Shipping was fast and reasonable too!
