I have a Space Invaders, Xenon, and Centaur that all need some new legwork. Derusting, priming, and painting twelve rusty legs is something I'd rather not have to take on so I'm looking at just buying three new sets of the correct gray legs for early Bally solid state machines. From what I understand, the earliest Bally SS like Playboy and Mata Hari received metallic gray legs, while some point around '79-80 or so they switched over to a darker "charcoal" metallic leg. These darker ones are what I'd like to get, and I'd prefer powder-coated over painted.

My choices are Pinball Life's "P-4052-8 Bally Gray Legs - Set of 4"

and Pinball Resource's "LEG-28GR Dark Gray Non-Ribbed"

Can anyone who has bought either/both of these tell me if they're a close match to the darker charcoal metallic Bally legs and if they're power-coated? Recommendation/preference? Please post pics of them on your game if possible. Thanks!

Those look pretty nice, I assume they're painted. Is the color metallic and close to original? Do they come packaged well, no scratches or rub spots on any of them out of the box?

Just noticed that yesterday too. Looks like they use the same initial leg for all applications - bare, chromed, gray, color powder-coated. I can overlook that if it'll save me the time, sweat, and aggravation of having to make six pairs of rusty legs look presentable.

Me too, works great for my chromed legs with surface rust.

I got an email from Terry today. They are powder-coated, not painted, and they're not dark charcoal gray like 80's Bally solid state legs, nor gunmetal gray like 70's Bally solid state legs, but somewhere in between. No idea if they are metallic although I would assume they are. bflagg do you have a photo of yours?

Pictures or it didn't happen!
