Well I have spent the last 6mth in exile getting my pins from 15 to the very manageable and magic figure of 8 with quite a few moving out thanks to my Amigos 🙏

I have promised myself its 1out / 1in from now on so I am in no great rush to move this out as I still enjoy a game now and then and can sit on it until the right buyer / trade comes along.
That said as we all know its good to keep things fresh so putting it out there for those interested.
I do have it listed for trade but bear in mind I have had just about every Ball/Will pin from the 90’s some several times over so there’s not a great deal of pins I'm after from that era bar one thats eluded me many times over the years WH20. I will go cash either way on a trade WHY.

Enough waffle now on to the main event.

I don't have the full history of this pin but it was bought from the very masterful restorer that is our very own ChrisB. I was told by Chris its was by far the best example he has through his hands and in my view it has had very little play and shows zero sign of wear. The cabinet inc the backbox is stunning too with very few obvious marks whatsoever.
RBION has the typical Lawler layout which I love but for those unfamiliar with this pin it has some great features and mechs that put a lot of the newer pins to shame.

Features:
6 pop bumpers
2 magnets inc the cool one that grabs the ball and pulls it round to the top pop’s very like the Shadow ‘esk Sanctum feature.
Swirling wire ramps are all beautifully powder coated with zero wear
Physical 3 ball lock unusually next to the shooter lane
VUK onto the upper right flipper
Vari Target or push back target
2 Spinners
2 ramp divertors
3 Flippers
Scoop
+more I probs forget

Anyhoo just shows how loaded this pin is which in my eyes makes it way underrated!

IMO There is nothing wrong with player condition pins and I have a few but sadly due to my OCD to make it into my main Pinroom it has to be in Super Mint Condition and a delight to the eyes! This RBION is no exception and is in the following condition:

Zero playfield wear especially around the Scoops and heavy ball trail spots especially the Shooter lane

Genuine LCD ColourDMD

Speaker Lights. Also may have speaker upgrades as the sound is another gravy up from other SAM pins i’ve owned or maybe how they sampled it!

Cabinet 9/10 it does have a few spots here and there but hardly noticeable with zero fade

Original Glass with no Scuffs or scratches rare on a pin of this age.

Full LED conversion which is bright and stunning.

All round white rubbers in great condition which I love as they cant hide filth and keep you on your toes for cleaning 😂

Boards immaculate with no hacks or hidden nastys. Nothing to see here so move along 😉

Cab inside spotless and original with unopened manual still stapled from NIB

Stunning Deep Sparkle Yellow that has to be seen to be appreciated 🙏 to @CHRIS B PINBALLS

Back Alley Creations Temples mod bought from their stand at Texas Pinball Festival last year @ $150 (Comes with originals in coin box)

Mirror Blades to reflect all that beauty back at you even further.

My own Fluorescent Yellow Sling and guide protectors which gets rid of those nasty ball killer washers that scratch the hell out of the rear art on your slings.

Nice matching set of instruction inlay cards.

Finally if anyone need full Hi Rez pics of any area including the back which is equally as nice as the rest of the cab just shout. I can pull out and sort the hard to reach areas when my mate over as Sciatica is the latest addition to my health issues 😱

Edit: Icloud link here as the pics seem low Rez or heavily compressed on my iPad for some reason so here goes.

May well have been my old one as I had the yellow powder coating done on mine. Was originally HUO from the seller I bought it from, Cai Raimond

It was actually Black sparkle but I got Chris to do me yellow before it was delivered.
So chances are not yours
