Quoted from Mudflaps:Ha, thanks. Here’s the video if you’re curious. Look for the smoke toward the bottom right.
Great work! I'm sure the folks in the Medusa group would appreciate you posting the video there.

Quoted from RoyGBev:Before I put up a classified ad, does anyone have the backglass lock bar from an AS-2518 Bally from about 1977 to 1984? I am happy to buy it. I got a Bally Mystic and the lockbar and lock are missing. I can scrounge a lock but if you have it too that would be good.
You might be able to find one at Marco.

Quoted from hisokajp:yeah some good 18 gaude stranded green wire from the usual electronic place do the trick.
After reading this thread I checked each of my pins (Lost World, Speakeasy,Flash Gordon and Medusa) to see what condition the ground straps were in. The Lost World and Flash Gordon had the yellow insulated straps in good shape. The Speakeasy had the original stranded wire type in good shape. Much to my surprise the original stranded wire on the Medusa had very neatly been cut off!
Any guesses why someone would have done this? The pin has worked perfectly since I bought it 4 or 5 years ago.
IMG_2776 (resized).jpgIMG_2779 (resized).jpgQuoted from gdonovan:If everything is right it will have no impact on operation. Generally speaking its protection for the humans in case of a short to ground.
In your example let's put forth the hypothetical case of the power switch failing internally and routing the hot side of the switch to ground through the switch body and thus the metal plate its mounted in.
If the plate is grounded, circuit protection kicks in. If ungrounded and you touch it, odds are the hot will pass through you on it's way to ground.
Thanks! I will replace ASAP. Still can't figure why someone cut it off but I guess that's not really that important.
