caps 8 and 9 are kind of the same color green. 8 shows off as more lime, but it's its like an iridescent green like 9 looks..
7 looks like a typical dark green cap, but has ribbed rings all through it, like a reflector for taillights like in old cars.
I thought they were triple action at first, but triple action has printing on them. Thought there was a game that didn't have hot stamping and more star looking. but they are the same type of green.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:wow good call. Never thought of goldball and I even played one. Nice.
I recognized the artwork on the Goldball cap, then realized the Baseball one was also a Bally bumper cap from 1981-1987, and deduced it was Grand Slam.

brilliant. I didn't know grand slam even existed.
7 appears to be a Data East bumper cap.
8 and 9 look like generic caps that most manufactures used in the sixties, but 9 kind of throws me off a bit. It's a type of colour that Williams used in the early seventies, but not the shape or design they used.
Quoted from CNKay:... 9 could be triple action star action williams.
It's the same colour, but not the same shape as the ones on Triple action. Weird.
Quoted from RCA1:8 looks like an early SS Stern dead bumper cap.
yes, same style, but I have not seen this color on anything. Which is the same green as williams caps.
For the DE cap, with the circle ribs in it. What game you think it was used on? I've owned almost every DE game before and i've never seen that.

I thought TMNT at first, but they're a lighter green than #7

Quoted from CaptainNeo:they do look like gottlieb, but stern used that style of cap on meteor too.
Quoted from RCA1:8 looks like an early SS Stern dead bumper cap.
Nine Ball also has one of those passive bumper caps (up in the top right of the playfield) except it's blue.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:those look damn close. nice find. Those caps seem very out of place on that field.
In person, they look even more like your picture. I had to use a flash to get the picture so they look liter than they actually are.
