    Quoted from KenLayton:

    For those with early solid state games from Williams, Gottlieb, and Bally which use a 6 inch full range speaker, they have been hard to find at times. I've found an excellent replacement at Newark (formerly MCM Electronics).

    Ken, I have quite a few Gottlieb, Bally and Williams early SS pins. The speakers all appear to be original and work. Is it worth $6.00 to replace these speakers in your opinion? Is the fidelity and clarity a little better or a lot better? I like to keep original parts on my restorations, but good sound is important enough to spend a few bucks on if they are noticeably better.

    Mr. Layton, I want you to know that you are one of my favorite posters. You are knowledgeable and always willing to share your expertise here on Pinside. If it is a KenLayton post, then I know that it will be worthwhile!

    I just ordered six. Shipping to Tucson, AZ was $24.49. Check all shipping option pricing. The USPS priority mail was cheaper than the 3-5 day ground shipping.

    I am only going to replace the talkers and pins with more sophisticated sounds. I will not be replacing the speakers in Future Spa , Harlem Globetrotters On Tour and Phoenix. I doubt the speaker will add much to the simple bleeps and bloops of the really early SS games.

    Thanks Ken!
