My first pin 10 years ago was a Bally Space Time, had sold it and recently found a Time Zone. After rebuilding the chime box it brought back memories and a question I had. To my ears, the Bally chime box has this slight, almost type of rattle/oscillation to the sound after the bar has been struck. I took a few videos last night and hope they have decent enough sound quality using an iPhone.

My Aztec is torn down so can't post a William's chime box at this time. If anyone wants to add one that one be appreciated. I'll add the Aztec when it's runnign again. I do have an Olympic Hockey video included, uses 2 bells instead of a chime box.

The Cleopatra chime box could use a rebuild but is in decent shape;

The Gold Strike chimes are in decent shape and this game adds the knocker to the experience as well;

The Gridiron has two chime bars, the short and long bar, and one bell. This chime box was just rebuilt;

The Wizard Chime Box needs a rebuild so has a more pronounced artifact;

The Time Zone chime box was just rebuilt, better than the Wizard but it's still present;

This William's does not have a chime box, just 2 bells. Added this because it's just cool.

Cleopatra looks like a RIPPER good and fast
I have a 300 that I have been "tuning up" the chimebox. I like to mute the bars a bit, to get more tone and less sustain.
