Quoted from Mitch:

nope gonna do a playfield swap and leave the old rubbers. But your right I better shop it now before I wreck the old playfield even though it's not playable right now.
It needs a ton of work, was stored in a damp location

Quoted from calico1997:

New question: as a soon-to-be Centaur owner, every game has its things that always go bad and need to be bullet proofed. This is my first Bally of this era. I had a Black Hole for example and the repairs on that game are legendary. So what should I check and preventively do for this machine, especially electrically? Are there some recommended pin repair web links pertaining to this series of Bally? The owner says everything works but those are often the famous last words.

Quoted from KJL:

Anyone replaced the back and bottom of these Bally cabinets?
Picked up a Centaur in the last year and while I have it apart to swap the playfield I noticed the back particle board on the cab is separating from the sides. Since it is busted at the bottom I think I will replace it and the beer stained bottom while I have the back off.
Any advice or tricks to do that? I have replaced the back and bottom on a System 6 so was wondering if Bally is any different besides the crappy particle board.
Ever notice how these simple playfield swaps snowball to bigger restores. I still hope not to stencil if I do the back right.

Quoted from MtnFrost:

Perfect, thank you! Yeah, I have the plastics set and I see now that I have those. Any idea what size posts those are? I'll see if I can find them on Marco.

Quoted from KJL:

Email Cliffy,
He did not have them on his site but sent me a set and they look great!
