Bally, 1976I probably should of took more pictures when I stripped this game down last week, but now I'm having a hard time figuring out which post go where. I have typical tall and short post.
Is there a rule of thumb? Which ones go under the plastics...short or tall? Seems like tall post under the spinners.
Can you guys tell from this pic?

Quoted from jodini:Is there a rule of thumb? Which ones go under the plastics...short or tall?
Short posts under plastic "no support", Tall post "support" plastic.
Sling-Shots, Tall posts.
Spinners, Tall post.
Note: layout posts on playfield Lightly screw them down " just set them"
(you do not have to add the plastic pieces) and adjust posts around.
When you are satisfied how the posts are positioned, tighten the posts
and add the rings and plastics.
Scrutinize the pictures of the game on IPDB and pinball flyers.
Quoted from jodini:Wish there was a "bally" handbook on post placement
That is where you come in! I always take a picture of the playfield
sans plastic set.
Also, I use the playfield chart and white out all of the miscellaneous stuff.
Then, I make a key and start marking where the posts are
"sm= small post" "tl=tall post". Etc,etc,etc.
