The original PinBot blew my mind as a kid. After dumping many quaters into it I was able to lock the two balls for its eyes, and they lit up and the machine said 'BEHOLD! I CAN SEE!'.... Still gives me goosebumps :)

This was my favorite pinball machine. When I was looking to buy one, I looked everywhere for it, could not find it. I fell in love with it when I moved to TN, was in a hotel for 2 weeks and played this daily at the truck stop next door to hotel. Have never seen another one since then.

I bought one of these machines many years ago, and got it out of storage earlier this year where it had been mothballed for a couple of years. It greeted me by exploding a tantalum capacitor on the sound board and shooting shards of resin across the garage! Between that and a dying display (luckily nothing more serious than a dead transistor), I had a few days of fun getting it running again. Luckily, the rotating head mechanism was still working perfectly - I really don’t fancy trying to fix that!

We ended up making money on it, since we had bought a floor/demo unit from Sharper Image. and it went up in value. we ended up selling it to a pinball fanatic that would fix all these things that we didn't know where bad with the machine. i would've loved to have it now and fix it myself now that i'm way more knowledgeable with electronics.

The more I play pinball, the more I learn how much maintenance they require. It seems like the switches in the eyes would fall off more frequently like the right one did, since they are off to the side and the ball would be pushing them off to the side. I wonder if you can replace the guides on the first face since they are so yellowed and stand out. Thanks for an awesome video.

My head on my BOP cycles and works fine the first time around. However, if I lose a ball during multiball the face will reset to default like it should. Next time I hit a ball in her mouth it will say partial optical link and she will say I can speak, but it locks that ball and shoots another ball out into the shooter lane as if I'm on her eye's when in fact I'm still on the mouth mode.
@LyonsArcade

Might be a bad diode on the switches for her eyes, or it may be that switch we looked at on here isn't properly adjusted. I'd go into switch test and make sure they all work every time you hit them, it may be registering that you're hitting the mouth and the eyes at the same time. Not sure why it would do it after the first play but if it does it consistently it may be a rom issue but not likely.
