Resurrecting this thread: I have a bunch of WMS games and a pile of legs to match up. I was going by the above guide, and there's some confusion between half rib and full rib from Pinball Resource, Flipper.be and Pinball Life. I think I can muddle through that, but when I start to look at IPDB for most of the WMS System 6 to 11 stuff, I see a ton of black legs, even in some of the flyers. Are all these IPDB pictures wrong, or were black legs sometimes an option. Because I seem to have more black legs than machines. IPDB shows black on games like Pharaoh, Gorgar, EATPM, Rollergames, Firepower, etc.

Thanks....Elvira still looks black or at least dark gray in the flyer. It does not look chrome

Now I'm really confused? Elvira was never Bally...it was a system 11 wms.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

That looks exactly like my BK I had powder coated Charcoal sparkle gray many years ago.

Any idea what a set of black non ribbed 34.5" legs go to? Pic is bottom if that helps identidy

Would they go with a Dungeons and Dragons? Also has the same offset cabinet design. Are the front legs the standard 28.5?

Great thank you....I only have the one Bally game (D&D) in the lot of games I bought but I had a set of the grey Bally legs too, that I had initially allocated to D&D. Wonder if the grey ones are actually for the EATPM. I know one thing, I have way more black legs than games for them...I assume over the years it was common for operators to paint them.

Is there a pictorial that shows what you or someone described earlier about the shape of the bottom of the leg being an identifier. Might be helpful. I've sorted out the ribbed wms vs half ribbed wms. Now the 34.5 oddball from your help.

There are still a few that are ribless but have what I would call a center spine rib or rounded bulge...and some that are completely flat with no spine bulge at all. All are 28.5, and are black.

The first one is actually shorter...27", so a gottlieb?

The second one I'm guessing wms just painted hammertone?

The third and fourth ones, Bally, but the third one has a distinct hump in the spine and the fourth one is matte black and has no hump, just a smooth corner.

Thanks! Funny, only 1 Bally in the games I bought and I have at least 4 sets of Bally legs.
