Pin-Bot is one of my favorites! I think it may be Sam's single favorite pinball machine--she doesn't go for pinball much, but when we were at Funspot she got engrossed in the goal of opening Pin-Bot's visor and getting the balls in the eye locks.
It's a very well designed game, I'm surprised they don't still design games with a gimmicky goal like that, it's easy to understand what you're trying to do and it's very visual.
The #1 pinball of 1986 is one I would love to have one of these days. :D
#1 for a reason :)
Best Machine of all time!
It's really a very cool game, thank you for watching Rod!
I commented on this a few months back.. Yours looks to be in great shape. There was someone reproducing the solar light for the topper. Also had noticed someone was remaking the vortex for bonus ..jackbot uses a black one for vortex.
This was my second pin that I played when I first got into pinball. I would love to find a nice one. High speed was my first and I have a nice one..
I love the classic sounds.
Thanks
Thanks Bryan, yeah it's truly a classic... Out of the 80's machines I think it High Speed and space Shuttle are my favorite.
Super excited about this one.
Were you who was telling me you were getting one to work on?
Great pinball I Like Pinbot 😎
So fun, and a great theme too.
That is one of the cleanest main boards I have seen.
It's nice to get a clean one every once in awhile!
Nice Pin-Bot, looking forward to seeing it's progress.
I can't believe somebody took the time and effort to isolate and (cringe) solder that hodge podge of a battery pack rather than just get a 99 cent battery pack and... ohhhhh never mind, some hacks just defy logic. LoL
There's a local guy that does that, we run across it all the time. Craziness.
This one's gotta be next after BoP is finished! And then maybe a cheeky JackBot and get the band back together! See many JackBots around?
I haven't seen one in a few years, we've never had one in the shop!
@@LyonsArcade well here's hoping! Your films are always so inspirational, it's the reason why I've got a BoP in the workshop right now 😃
Great game!
There's two tricks I can give you. On the dual wires, make sure you run them all the way to both ends of where they connect, otherwise you're only moving the problem to where both wires meet the single wire. The other trick is on the solder joint. Where the pin or wires poke through the board. Put some flux on the solder joint and use a rounded solder tip that has a hole in the middle. The hole in the tip should be just a little bit bigger than the pin or wire poking through the board, then re-flow it. The flux combined with just a little fresh solder and the hole in the tip will make the joint look factory and give your a superior solder joint at the same time. Usually you can get a rounded holed tip from a solder sucker, heck you can even use the solder sucker, like I do, to resolder the joint. Just don't suck it up, put in on it, re-flow it and you're done. Nice shinny quality solder joint that looks and is good or better than a factory solder joint. Thanks for the nice show Joe look fwd to seeing and hearing it run. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith Noneya
Thanks Keith, we appreciate it!
Can you come to Doylestown, PA and refurbish my Pinbot?
I'll be there February 30th!
Nice. That red ramp is always broken. Someone made a repro and there are a few still around. 100 bucks though.
We ended up just leaving it, I couldn't bring myself to spend 100 bucks on half an inch of plastic :)
@@LyonsArcade it really doesn't affect gameplay at all.
We kept having an issue where it's hard to plunge all the way to the top anyways... we rebuilt the shooter rod and still never got it perfect. Reading around online it looks like a lot of them end up that way...
@@LyonsArcade Good to know. Still trying to get mine running so it can be restored. Board was badly damaged and still working through it.
Was it from battery leakage or operator hacks?
is that a spy hunter pinball or arcade i hear in the background 12:57
Are you going to do the NVRAM battery replacement? I did it on mine...It is easy and cheap and no batteries ever again...
We left it original but yes those are great upgrades!
I love me some PINBOT !
But why did you put batteries back into that MPU board ???
Because I change the batteries more often than every 10 years lol
@@LyonsArcade Yes I would expect that LOL
But I'm thinking more of the person you sell it to.
I always tell them to change them on new years day every year. Easier to remember, and even if you forget a year at least you change them every two years, LOL
Kind of a dumb question, but what came first the Pin Ball game or the NES game?
The Pinball machine was designed first, and it was so successful they couldn't resist making a video game version of it.
I don't think NES was around in 1986. Well, it wasn't here or in Europe anyway :). Might have been in North America in 1986.
Hi Joe,
I like your vids. The battery idea is good 5:55, keeps the from leaking. Todd at TNT use lithium batteries which might make for a cleaner solution. Check out his vid, ua-cam.com/video/yJ34I02MlIk/v-deo.html
Todd is the man :)
I don’t understand the Mylar what’s it matter which one gets tore up if u wreck the art under it trying to get it off to replace it seriously
It's supposed to protect the paint underneath, operators loved putting it on since it's thick, so it would get all messed up and dull but you could still see the artwork... you just can't take the shit off of it destroys everything, lol Thanks for watching The Dugan 1 !!!!
