Well now I am REALLY Outa room.. gotta sell a few more vids before this
shows up. Just picked up a decent Pinbot out of the blue.

Someone saw my post on the pinbot playfield FS thread and we hooked up.
I got it for a good price and shipping was really cheap ($115).

100% working. Gonna need some cosmetic touch up here and there. The
playfield is really nice (no wear). 1 of the ramps was repaired but I think I
can make it look nicer. Gonna need a good shopping but I think it will clean
up REALLY NICE. Its shipping down from Maine Tuesday. Should be here by
next weekend!

I'm Psyche'd! This completes my mental "Pins I want to buy" list.

So who wants to buy a really rare Juno First, Robotron restoration project,
or Food fight? I gotta make room and pay for this baby:)

...god, I hope someday i can know what its pike to buy like 5 pins in two months. :p

I cant even look at these pics without getting pissed. Sure I got my Pinbot for 200$ but the pf has a lot of discoloration and no topper....

I basically cut off my right arm and sacrificed any chance I have of getting the repro playfield to buy Stargate, and its got issues.

Not a happy pin-camper at the moment.
 
Welcome to the Pinbot owner's club. Played it in the rec room back in college, and had to have one. Congrats. PM'd you about the Robotron.

I paid a lot more then $200 for it... So you're way ahead of me there.

I'm sure they are not going to sell all the pinbot playfields day one. You could
probably pick one up from CPR in 3-4 months. Hell it'll probably be 2 months
until they ask for the money anyway. Crank out some overtime:) I got a really
good bonus this year (138% of the target amount) and I've been selling
off my vids. Hence the buying spree. I gotta sneak this one in the basement.
My wife is going to start wondering:)
 
Yeah my yearly bonus got nerfed from about 2000$ to 200$ thanks to the CWA's brilliant negotiators. Only with ATT can you work as a union member and LOSE MONEY in a contract negotiation while the company is turning hundreds of millions of dollars of profit.

Back to topic at hand....by the time I pay for a playfield that looks that nice and find a topper probably out the same amount of money or more, but 200$ was way too hard to pass up LOL.

Yea I wouldnt have passed on 200 for a working pin no matter what the condition. You stole that thing. Hell the boards are worth more then that easily.

I just picked up a PinBot a few days ago as well! Quickly becoming very attached. Its a flat out amazing game. "Pinbot circuits activated!" sent chills down my spine first time I fired it up.
 
Nice looking machine. Mine plays great but has a lot of playfield wear. I'm excited about the CPR repro getting close to release, but not really looking forward to all the work to swap it over.
