Looking for the slingshot coil mountaing bracket for my Bally Aladdins Castle. I have searched everywhere for a part number to no avail but need to find one to replace the broken one on my game. Thanks in advance.

I have had that part welded back together..
Caution the middle center of the bracket is a no-mans land...
have the sides re-welded. Better have the "L" bracket made...
Just like the Solid State games that Bally made have done.

So not able to use one from another Bally game? The bottom part that holds the coil is missing. Ugh

It reminds me of the pop bumper bracket I had to replace on World Cup Soccer.

Do you have a pic? I would check my stash.

Look like these?

Here’s a pic. You can see where the bottom piece with the coil stop broke off.

Awesome! I just came here to post what I found. Spoke to Pinball resource and found a couple things that work.

04-10888 Is the Williams Bally number that will work as well. Just a common pop bumper bracket. Hopefully this info will help someone in the future.

Bally stops are made longer than Williams...
Bally EM stops have a copper core...
Pinball parts are a like over all... but skewed in someway to make it their own.

That appears to be a flipper coil, given the 3 solder lugs on that sling. Check the schematic for the correct coil number. Likely the reason the bracket broke.

So are you buying a new one, or looking here for used?

I bought one each of the williams part number, and the bally part number. Both new.

AP-27-1300 is what should be there. The same as the pop bumpers. You are right, it appears someone just used a random flipper coil in there at some point. Swapping that out to the correct one too. Great catch and thanks!
