Greetings all. Just wanted to share what I've been up to all week. Rebuilt one of the monitors and finished up work on the Bride Of Pinbot that I picked up in Kansas City last week. First up is the K4900. It worked, but it was in dire need of a rebuild. So that's what I did. I installed a FULL cap kit including the filter cap, gave it a full reflow (found lots of bad joints), installed a new flyback, got it all adjusting and it looks great! Ready for many more years of use.

Next is the BOP. Got it all cleaned up, fixed up, and ready to go. It had some issues that made it unplayable but now it's good to go. I won't go too much into detail, but here's a list of everything it took to get it fully working and looking good (the cabinet still needs some cosmetic work, but I'm not going to mess with it right now)...

-) New locks
-) New glass (original glass was badly scratched)
-) New legs and bolts(originals were badly corroded)
-) New flippers (originals were cracked)
-) New flipper buttons (originals were faded and dirty)
-) New flipper coils (originals were weak)
-) Flipper rebuilt kit for both flippers
-) Full black rubber kit
-) New rear glass retainer (original was broken)
-) New flipper leaf switches (originals had corroded pads)
-) Full teardown, cleaning, and playfield waxing.
-) Painted the black areas around the back box
-) Replaced all burned out bulbs
-) Replaced some missing screws
-) Adjusted four switches that were not registering

Hell, I think that's it. I'll be moving into the new house in roughly 2 weeks, so it will have to sit right where it's at until then. Here are a bunch of pics. Always enjoy fixing these up and bringing them back to working order so they can be enjoyed for years to come.















 
Ever see the BRIDE OF PINBOT 2.0 conversion kit? (software, display, audio)
It's pretty good. Totally changes the game, but it also uses the playfield well.


 
Thanks guys.

Wow! Interesting!

Must LED that pin!!

I'm thinking that I might like it better with the incandescent in there. I have LED kits in my Addams and BTTF, but this one I think looks pretty good like it is. I might go LED later.
