I've been wondering how much Bally/Stern parts are interchangable - I know the boards are identical, but what about the pops, flippers, and slings mechs, for example? I too have been eyeing that Stern parts catalog, but it's hard to pay that much for info you're used to getting for free for other machines.

Marco has spoiled me on my other machines, it seems like little is linked to Seawitch and other classic Sterns in terms of these sorts of parts, even though I know that some common ones must be compatible.

There's another page in the schematic for all the connectors. It will show the wires in order and each with a two digit number indicating the wire colors. There's a color key at the bottom. That should make it easier for you...

Anyone else notice that early SS Bally manuals never list the part numbers for the finned plastic posts? I was looking to see if I need the 1" or 1 3/16" posts for my machine and it looks like there's no documentation for any of them.

Obviously I can measure the ones on the game now, just thought it was strange when every other wire/post/target is documented.

Here's an original 1 3/16" post off a Black Jack next to a new Marco one. I know these fade, but were they originally anywhere near that shade of red? Would like to use replacements since so many originals have caked on rubber impervious to brushes and ultrasonic.
