Title: PIN*BOT Pinball restoration project Post by: MrBellMan on March 27, 2011, 11:35:51 PM Not sure how many pinball collectors we have here, but I wanted to reach out and see if anyone can help me with a spring/summer project I just picked up. It's a 1986 Williams PIN*BOT.
Pics here: http://www.robsgameroom.com/RGR/Project_PINBOT.html It's rough all around, but does work 100%. So, now starts the search for some needed parts for my restoration. I know that plastic sets, mini playfield, displays and some decals are available (and that new playfields are due out by end of year), but I am also looking for the following: NOS/restored Playfield (would rather not wait until end of the year) NOS/Nice used Blue ramp NOS/Nice used Visor cover NOS/Nice used Translite New/used Cabinet stencils NOS/Nice used Helmet plastic (that covers the blue ramp) NOS/Nice used Clear ramp flap NOS/Repro Decals (for everything???) I'm sure there is more, but if you have any of these or know someone that might, please send me an email/PM and let me know. Thank you!

Probably some other stuff you may need.
