I bet with all of those machines you must have gotten a manual (called a Parts Catalog on the cover) and schematic. My buddy Welby Bergum just got a Mini Baseball and there was no manual/schematic in it.

For everyone's information:

The circuit board on the back wall with all the plug-in relays is part number "409-2526 ASS'Y" screened on it. There are several versions of Mini Baseball so sometimes not all of the 21 relay sockets will be populated with a relay. Machines that were originally ordered on "dime play" will have a few empty relay sockets covered with masking tape.

Here are relay equivalent cross reference numbers:

Sigma # 67R4-24DC (this is what the machines shipped with)

Phillips ECG # RLY2163

NTE # R12-17D5-24H

These are "ice cube" style plug-in relays, 4PDT, 24VDC, 650 ohm coil resistance, contacts rated at 3 amps. These are very common relays and lots of relay manufacturers make this relay.

Welby is having the marquee and the lower pedestal backglass reproduced right now. Probably be about a month for us to receive them.

I will post pictures of the reproductions when they arrive in about 3 weeks.

Yikes! The reproductions we are getting made won't be priced anywhere near that high price. They'll be a lot cheaper.

I'm looking for a manual to this game. At the very least, exploded views of the ball stop (gate) coil assembly and the shooter gauge circuit board exploded view with part numbers.

Did you get the manual scanned?

Thanks for posting it. I've just printed it out and had it bound.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

All graphics (Marquee, playfield, and lower cabinet picture) are now available from Callie Graphics.

https://callie-graphics.com/

They are decals you apply to the front of a fresh sheet of plexiglass or glass.

Plexiglass dimensions for you to get cut to size locally:

Lower pedestal (with the picture of the player swinging a bat): 20.5" wide by 16.5" high by 1/8" thick (if you decide to use glass, 3/16" thick will work)

Marquee: 4" high by 21.75" wide by 1/8" thick

You use the "contact" form at the website and tell them you need the graphics for Chicago Coin Mini Baseball and which graphics you want (Marquee, lower pedestal picture, or playfield). I think you'll be pleased with the prices. My buddy Welby Bergum contributed the original marquee and lower pedestal artwork for them to scan. Their work is excellent.

My friend Welby had me drive down to the chrome plater and pay for our metal parts we wanted chromed for his Mini-Baseball. All of the parts came out fantastic! I will try to get pictures in the next few days of the new chromed parts installed on the machine.

For everyone's reference, we used American Plating in Centralia, Washington (they are about 30 miles south from Olympia). Here's their Facebook page:

They do excellent work.

More pictures. The pictures don't do it justice. This machine needs to be seen in person.

All of the graphics (marquee, playfield backglass, and lower cabinet picture) are brand new reproductions. Only thing I haven't done yet is get a new upper cabinet lock and hooked cam.

Now available are some of the cabinet interior labels:
