Planetary pinball has the Bally logo lane dividers if you need some. Haven't seen any available in a long time.

Happy to join the redhead fan club. Found this machine in the bulk waste. Took some time, but now works and looks fine.

IMG_20190610_180225 (resized).jpgStrikes and Spares was my first pinball machines about 4 years ago. I let it ago in the anticipation of buying and selling to have and try new things. Regretted it. Picked up quite the project.
Question: Anyone have a paint code for the cabinet yellow? I want to use a cabinet paint for the base and can colour match if I have a code that's been successful out there.
IMG_6250 (resized).JPGJust joined the club - always wanted one because of the background of the backglass - I really like the guy pouring beer onto the table. Anyhow, the machine is located quite a distance from me, so when I clean it, I want to make sure I bring the correct rings. Is the manual accurate? Here's what it says:
3/4" - 2
1" - 2
2" - 2
2 1/2" - 2
5/16" 21
Flippers - yellow
Are these numbers correct? Thanks
Quoted from Billc479:[...] of the backglass - I really like the guy pouring beer onto the table.
Funny to hear somebody praise this Backglas for a reason that is not the long-legged redhead lady.
Quoted from Thunfisch:Funny to hear somebody praise this Backglas for a reason that is not the long-legged redhead lady.
But, but, its because of her that he is spilling the beer....
Quoted from Xtraball:Yeah, I’d call that playfield average
Approx what would it cost to have the play field restored properly? Any recommendations in Ohio? I might just have to keep it if it looks sweet again.

Red yoppsicles work great

thanks from Niall

Top photo: 1N4004 diode.
Bottom photo: .05 microfarad ceramic disc capacitor. Those appear to be original parts. So, they're 46+ years old.
Quoted from Niall:Do you think i should be changing the diodes as well as the capacitors
No. Clip off one lead of the capacitor and see if it cures whatever the issue is that you are having.....
Quoted from Niall:Perfect no problems after clipping a leg of capacitor many thanks
You may experience that very short hits of targets may no longer be recognized.

Agreed, my suggestion was to help troubleshoot since there was no problem description.
So, bad cap. However, Bally rollover switches are not usually susceptible to issues with a removed cap.
Its been fine with out the cap still scoring on fast shots. Going to order some caps anyway ."All good "
Looking to buy or trade for one. Project game ok, too.
If I find one, I will make a tier 7 donation. Thank you
I'm selling mine in case anyone is interested. There's a Pinside market ad for it, complete with pics.
I bought a bunch of caps and replaced quite a few, the top rollover that had the bad cap played up again after replacing cap twice.It tested ok then went to play a game same thing happens again continual scoring ,so cut the cap and left it like that no problems, wondering if it has something to do with new alltek board or maybe its time to repin all the plugs on the boards.
