Try Pinball Resource. That is common Bally tilt hardware.

Quoted from Spyderturbo007:I'm beginning to thing this is getting way over my head. SCRs, LDUs, Transistors, Resistors, Diodes, etc. I'm not an electronics guy, so perhaps it's just better for me to find someone to handle this issue.
I'll just try and find the thing for the tilt bob and stop there. It would take me 2 hours just to figure out what to buy and how many of each. Even if I got that far, I'd just sit there and stare at the parts wondering what to do with them or where they even go.
I appreciate the help, but I don't have 12h to learn how to rebuild a display drive board.
I'm in York if you want a hand. I have a capacitor for the tilt if you need. I also do board repair. Let me know.

Also, many times SCRs can test good, but they are actually bad. Not quite a transistor. Also, sometimes they are weak...meaning they don't conduct fully and the bulb looks dim. You can clean the bulb sockets many ways. Bally lamp sockets are notorious for being bad after many years. Not sure about the Stern quality.
PM if you want local help.
Thanks
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:A big shout out to Dave for inviting me into his family's home and working on my boards for me. He replaced all the header pins on the lamp driver board and taught me how to do it so I can handle things like this in the future.
I just wanted to give him a big public Thank You for taking the time to help a stranger.
Yes, I have a new friend 
Happy to help.
I took a look at the sound card schematic just now; needed a brain break from work. Order the cable and we should order caps. Then we can troubleshoot more if needed.
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:Next time we are going to play some pinball though!!
Looks like I can just get this and it has everything I need?
