Zip-A-Doo
Bally, 1970Anybody know where I can get them? Just a hair over 1.5 inches(All but 1-3/4 if you include the head). I bought every wood screw Marco has that was close and still too short and the heads are too small. I am restoring a Bally Zip A doo and some of the playfield was partially disassembled when I got it and the parts in a box and some of the screws were missing.

I see you are in Hanover. I use York Screw and Fastner in York for all my stainless hardware. They have everything you will need. There are some unique screw heads on certain Bally machines you will not be able to easily find as new replacements. But all standard stuff is available from YS&F. You can buy 1 or 100. Washers, machine screws, wood screw, etc.
PM me if you have any questions.
Quoted from KenLayton:I think those screws were 1-5/8" long.
Wow, your avatar/name is one I've seen in the 16mm film forums. I have rotating hobbies too!
I just sold 6 RCA 400s to to Sam E. Misshula, you may know him from New York, he rebuilds them.
And yes the screws are 1-5/8"
Quoted from KenLayton:I have never met Sam, but I do know of him and his projector repairs.
I've had many phone conversations with Sam over the last several weeks he is quite a character, and I mean that in a good way.
He is going to help me rebuild my PG201 whenever I get around to it as well as help me with rebuilding my 400/MI1338.
I know this is an old thread, but I'm flying a little blind so hopefully you can help.
I have a 1964 Bally Grand Tour and I need all new screws for the Playfield.
Since I don't have any originals, I was hoping some could tell me the thread size (#4, 6, #8, etc).
Based on your thread here I see the post screws are 1 and 5/8 length, but still don't know the thread.
Also would love to have all the information on the screws for the plastics if you have it please.
Thank you kindly.

What about the screws for the plastics?
I'm guessing those would be #5 as well?
Also, since I don't have any of the screws, do you know the length of everything except for the Post screws (I know the post screws are 1 and 5/8 in).
Thanks again!
