My Wizard has a bonus unit that has some teeth missing on the plastic stepper gear. Does anyone sell these?
Also are all the stepper gears Bally used in this time period the same? Like can I swap it with a credit gear etc?

Thx, John

It's probably supposed to be that way. Post a pic

Correct. Tooth would be missing at step 20 to prevent bonus from going past 19,000. So yes, not all gears are the same. Some stop at 4 (coin unit), bonus of 10, 15 or 19 etc.

Ill get a pic but when it counts down after the ball drains,
it steps down 1000 points at a time when it gets to 5000 it zips right down to 0

Need pic of the whole gear, both sides please. Bally has several. Especially when you consider all of the different EM slot machine stepper units.

Very rare item I am told. Only the Bally Bonus unit has this particular Ratchet gear with 2 pins, the stop on backside, and the tooth gap
along with the orientation of the shaft so the fingers go on in the right way.
PBR says you have to splice/patch a good section in it

That sounds to me like it would be a very difficult repair, and I doubt it would be very durable in any case.

I think it would be far easier to find a salvage Bally stepper gear somewhat like yours, and install the required pins. For the pins, you may be able to carefully drill holes in the nylon gear and install long #5-40 machine screws, which can act as pins.

I wonder if this gear could be 3d printed?

I reckon it could be Shapeways 3D printed in nylon as would be laser bound and solid.

That is unique, checking the PPS online Bally parts catalog, it only fits Wizard.

To make another work you would have to:

Start with a gear with no tooth gap, because the shaft has two flat sides for the contact fingers to slide on so the orientation of the fingers to the tooth gap will never be the same.

You could drill and install 2 roll pins

add some sort of stop on the backside in the correct location

cut out a tooth creating a tooth gap in the precise right area

This gear gets a ton of abuse and is common to have worn teeth in the 19 tooth area that is used
