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.
Absolutely one of my favorite pins. Too bad the game got confused, but I suggest everyone watch the whole metamorphosis sequence. It makes me giddy with excitement every time. The light show, the sounds, the music ... gets your adrenaline going. :D
The people who designed this machine were geniuses. These machines make me wish that I would have chosen the pinball occupation
One of my favourite pins. Love the sound and music.
Bride: "I can speak"
Pinbot: "oh NO!"
Bride: "ha ha ha"
Classic :)
Amazing how much fun you can have with a bunch of lightbulbs, switches, motors and some solenoids. A great hobby to have and get paid for :-)
Not so much. You'd think so but there are major drawbacks! Thanks for watching Adam!
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!
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 :)
Thank you for watching, DJFritz2001!
Love it. You’re doing gods work man. We gotta keep these treasures running and preserved!
We're trying :)
Pretty cool. As a pinball / jukebox mechanic for many years (retired), it is always nice to see these machines being restored. Still do a few pins from time to time (Have a Williams Whitewater out there now), but mainly Jukeboxes amps now.
Man I repaired a Pinbot, and it was a total nightmare to sort out, but I got it eventually thanks to a great video by you guys, and it is a fantastic game. Bride of Pinbot looks so awesome, but also a pain to repair, thanks for showing us how its done!!
Thanks for watching evilash570 we appreciate it as always!
This is realy a blast from past, all hours i played this pin-ball machine when i was a kid (around 8-12years old) . Till it got swaped out for Tales from the Crypt. Pure nostalgia🤩
This is my favorite pinball machine, Ive spent countless hours on this board
15:21 "Boy it homed the hell out of the head." Maybe the funniest thing I have ever heard you say Ron. Thanks for all you do for all of us pin enthusiast.
Thank you Paul, we appreciate you watching, i'm glad somebody likes my sense of humor!
Tho I don't give a flying squat about this stuff, I admire your dedication 👍
That was pretty sick man, thank you.
Thank you Joes !!!
"Metropolis" theme on a pinball machine... very cool!! Thank you for this series!!
Thanks for watching ZardoztheWizard, we appreciate it!
I just purchased this machine not long ago. Thank you I am having issues with the head also. Keep doing this amazing work!!!!
Always a pleasure watching the diagnostic process, I remember playing this in the bowling alley many many years ago! Thanks for sharing!
This may have been the exact same machine you played, Hazy Basement... did you scratch your initials on it anywhere I can check : ) ?
@@LyonsArcade Unfortunately no, but how wild would that be!
I love this machine
incredible pin, but that face looks like a nightmare to maintain. definitely worth it!
Just love that FM-synthesis sound.... my childhood!
It's pretty great!
Had this at my bowling alley when I was a kid. I played the crap out of this game... I miss it. Great Job on the face repair.
I played a lot of this pinball machine and it was the best of that era!
Thanks for sharing this video with us.
For a pinball machine not based on an established IP, I'll admit that the face-turning is a pretty cool gimmick.
what does the IP have to do with it?
@@LawmanIL When's the last time you saw an interesting pinball table that wasn't based on an existing franchise? Hell, the best-selling pinball machine of all time is The Addams Family
@@otaking3582 There are plenty!
@@LawmanIL Such as?
We’ll, there’s Cyclone, Whirlwind, Pinbot (the original, not his bride), FunHouse, Fish Tales (rubber fish!!! LOL), High Speed, and of course FirePower.
Huh. You’d think I’m from the 80’s or something…
"Head" area in the book, and then you chuckled❕you are one sick man‼️®™️ 👏👏lol
And I'm gonna be one until I'm a dead one
@@LyonsArcade
🔥🔥🔥
I played this so often as a kid on a german island called spiekerooge the best thing ever
Oh Bride of Pinbot. I have one of those. One of my all time favorite machines.
i thought this was a willam Belli themed pinball machine xD
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing your formidable skills with us all. Looking forward to seeing this pinnie come back to life.
Gorgeous this pinball!!!
This is it ! You my Hero ! Polish people thank You. We love Pinbot Bride & T2 Judgement Day !
playd this when i was a kid. :)
That's an ambitious concept for a pinball machine. Turning a robot into a woman. But the realization of the idea is amazing. What a cool pin. That was a familiar theme back in the 80's movies. Things turning into woman!
Super cool! You fix them fast. Awesome work 👏 👌
I absolutely love this table... Also, was there a frickin Molex to SATA cable in that bag lol.
One of the pinball games I love. Hope it last for 100 years
That is a really cool one. That spinning head thing is pretty wild.
this brought back memories. we used to own a LotR pinball machine when i was a kid. sadly around 2008, recession hit and we had to sell it. 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.
My favorite pinball. Owned this one for years and sold it 2018
So cool! I've never seen a pinball repair vid. this was recomended because I've been looking up retro games. Nice job
Thank you for watching Lasher :)
This is great. I have this machine; in the process of replacing all the bulbs/flashers, and didnt know how to get to the face bulbs (and now I know you have to take off the cover and face plate! Thanks!
Great video, Ronnie Glad you figured out that switch problem. Love the Bride great playing game a lot of fun. Can not wait for the next video Thanks for filming. Always amazed how you can film and work at the same time.
Thank you Frank, we appreciate you hanging out with us as always!
Nice work, it’s amazing how they function...
Always feels good to get a little head work done...😎
You said it not me youtube Algo :)
Nice repair, man. Also, you picking up the balls and putting them where you wanted was very satisfying to watch. I'm sure most pinball players sometimes wish they could do that. :)
Wondefull machine i play it verry often .
Open het eyes , open her mouth let her see you and let her sing , good music to
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you Kurt, i'm glad you enjoyed it!
Big big DMD 90s to early 2000s tables fan as my wife worked at a “golf&stuff” in SoCal that used to house a pseudo castle full of all the classic tables from Williams Stern you name it it was probably their at one time. I like this one of the 80s, better than funhouse, which is my other favorite table outside Elvira’s older table based on the same setup.
We worked near each other and on lunch or when I was off I’d go play on the pinball tables for free a lot.
This is one of your best vids yet. Super interesting.
Thank you Fletcher, that's very kind of you to say.
Man they had this at the bowling alley when I was in Junior High. I put so many quarters in that machine!
very cool, looks like a fun machine to play and i know it's in the right hands.
when i was a kid i played the hell out of this at the arcade
What an awesome game, never seen it before.
Thank you for watching Kevin!
Bloody awesome….what a machine…love it!…cheers
it's pretty awesome, thanks for watching Chris!
Awesome stuff. That machine has allot going on. Very cool.
It's pretty cool, thank you for watching Game Tech Refuge!
Super interesting video, thanks for sharing. I was wanting more after it ended.
Thank you for watching Whizzer, glad you enjoyed it!
Great work so far, Ron.
Thank you Scoosie!
Good video and well worked out Ron. Always thought it was a bit of a weird machine!
Well Python made it, all his were weird :)
So she really did come to life and show how quickly the many personalities of the same woman change and you have no control over it 🤣
hahaha pretty much! It must be working correctly!
@@LyonsArcade 😂😂. Maybe the game will work if you apologize to it for something it did to you.
I played this on the the pinball arcade simulator I don't know how manly times. Always found the changing faces to be a great gimmick.
Woah, just found your channel and I got a lot of watching to do. Can’t wait. Love the intricacy of these machines.
Glad you found us :)
Great work on that head assy😎👍
Thank you Danijel, I did it all wrong though, just read below, LOL
Wow so great
I have a Sterns Hot Hand (well, my wife does), and this inspires me to do some work on it. The big paddle in the middle won't spin and it needs all the rubber replaced - and maybe a few light bulbs.
I dont think the folks commenting about the motor being noisy realize that all of those kinds of pinball motors are noisy, and it doesnt really matter once the glass is on it. Regardless, great video.
Now I See You!!!
I had no idea Pin•Bot had a "sequel".
Honestly! This main toy is far more complex than even the Ringmaster on Volatire. So cool but it does seem to be a rather risque game after I was shown the layout.
Those microswitches are like Legos. Should be really easy to find and not expensive at all. They are in all kinds of gizmos from industrial machines to hot rod parts.
I would love this kind of work. Thanks for sharing the job. (Only halfway through the video, so if you mention later that you found it my apologies.)
Good morning. Hope you had a great Holiday.
Good morning Windios!
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.
It'll just have to keep that flaw, they don't make new ones. Thanks for watching Scott!
Around '92 it seemed that every...ahem...herbal shop in the Netherlands had a Bride of Pinbot. The Metamorphosis part was awesome, and then hitting the Big Wheel for the Billionaires Club...
This is a super fun table but it looks like an absolute nightmare to work with.
Awesome and creepy. Always loved the music and sounds coming from pinball machines. Shame they take so much space and are ridiculusly expensive
Looks like a Blow up Doll
Sometimes when the servo motor has low gear ratio you can force it to move by hand, but you have to be really careful doing it._
Thank you for watching DjResR!
OH MY...Sooooooooo many hours on that dam machine. And Adams Family & Twilight-Zone... The only three that matter. SO JEALOUS!
very cool
Great game!
On DC, it is usually the safest bet to assume the black wire is ground. 75% of the time, you are right every time.
On the head calibration, they have a built-in option according to the service manual. (IPDB has a copy) 1-32, Automatic head calibration. You were doing it the hard way using T.16, the manual calibration.
o.k. I'll try harder
this is a very cool game, to bad it didnt have more, like some drop targets, a ball save and things like that. still a very cool looking game.
you folks are frankly amazing "too bad it didn't have more".... too bad your comment didn't have more, what a shitty comment
I would guess if the head motor cam had been replaced, the unit with the faces may have been put back on the shaft in the wrong position
Thanks for the FaceTime
You. You're clever you.
Cool
Thanks for watching Ghillie!
God I miss those 90s synth samples ^^ Nice work dude.
This looks like a cool pinball machine but I'm afraid of it at the same time
It has a pretty amazing look! Super fun to play too....
@@LyonsArcade the rotating faces part kind of scares me
Ok I finally bought one of these machines. I have a question about the general game play when starting a game. Does the face start out at the single mouth hole face? Mine seems to be random. Love watching your vids!!!!!!
Yes it should always be on the mouth face... you may need to do the home thing like we did in this video in the test mode. You might have the home switch messed up on yours...
*SEGA SUPER GT* was literally my favorite game at "Alladin's Castle" way back in the '90s. i would put in 50c and win the races allowing you to keep playing, getting like 30 min of play out of 50c
until some mo ron employee decided it should be 50c a race whether you win or lose. well they lost (a ton of money) because i never went back after that.
First in for the microfarad!!
You'd normally use a geneva wheel for this sort of thing.
if Star Trek had taught us nothing else, it's REVERSE THE POLARITY. you'll be fine.
What year is this pinball machine made?
I have same machine that i have aquired shortly. The mainboard was bad due to batterys that has leaked on the board. Board is repaired but the head does not spin, or sometimes once inn a while. Thanks for this video, i can look further into this. Also, is it normal when you shoot the ramp for the head, it goes further and ends out at the poppers?
I would think you need to run the homing sequence before it can know which position is what
To repair the plastic nub, try the super glue and baking soda trick.
New one to me. I think the EMs look easier to work on, are they?
These are harder to work on because they have more going on and the customers complain if they’re not perfect, makes it a huge pain in the ass
The switch looks like it's screws if you loosen it up and just push it forward and then retighten miss it that's what would work
Nice repair work on the face unit. One question, is the motor really that noisy or is it just the recording?
Sorry it’s not better I tried
