So I got this really neat old pinball machine, 1947 Exhibit Supply Company, Mystery. It's a wood rail, and I need new legs for it. One of them is badly bowed, and two of them have split and been repaired, but I don't trust it. Is there anyplace that sells these? Repros are good too, as long as I have four wooden legs to hold it up!

Also, if anyone has ANY information on this specific game, I would love to pick your brain! I can't find anything about it.

Yesterday, I went and adjusted all the leaf switches, so the ones that seemed like they should be closed were, and the ones that seemed like they should be open were. I'm surprised I didn't break any off! I need to replace a couple, I found some with no nubs on them anymore - in looking on PBL, I saw leaf switches, but obviously not this manufacturer - does it matter if it's a Williams or a Data East or a Sega or whatever?

Something worked! Had to replace the power cord, it was literally crumbling into dust. After poking around with the leaf switches, soldering some things that came off (and OMG does old solder stink!) I got the ball kicker assembly to run. Also two of the backbox lights came on. I suspect the rest are burned out, but the glass is cracked from one corner to the other, so I don't want to remove it until I get a new piece. Have to finish re-making the image in photoshop.

Any tips on what to check out next would be greatly appreciated. I can't get anything else to work yet.

Alex - Actually, the photos on IPDB are the most information I’ve found for this game. I think his cabinet was repainted though. Thanks for the offer, I had to replace some of the red posts with ones that weren’t quite the same. If you have any red posts or brass screws that you aren’t using, I’d be interested in those for sure. I think I have everything else. Maybe a flipper coil, since I seem to have a blackened place near mine. Not sure if that’s it or not. Check out the ‘flipper mod’ that was the coversion of the day.

Steve; I actually have a Circus Queen Bingo that works fine, so I’m not ready to part her out just yet! I’ve read about soldering new switch contacts onto the old leafs, but what difference does that make to just replacing it entirely? It seems like it would be hard to line up the contacts.

Always.

Here’s a closer look at that switch bank on the left.

And these are the legs, you can see the bowed one.

Yeah, it's been fun to work on too Except when I can't find what's wrong :/

Thanks, Dennis, I'll email you.

HOORAY FOR SPLODYNESS!

After more switch adjusting, I got everything working! For a few minutes....then the main transformer started smoking and boiling. So....I need a transformer I think

Actually, I have the original caps (or good repros) and they aren't cracked or anything. Shh, don't jinx it.
