Quoted from pinhead52:Im in the process of restoring this game and i noticed in the ipdb a lot of times the diamond on the coin door is blank, no Bally sticker. Was it hit or miss whether the game got this?[quoted image]
My last one had the sticker
I would say no sticker. I do not remember this game ever having one. Bally basically started putting those on the new solid states starting in 1979. My 1977 Mata Hari never had one originally. A lot of folks are putting them on EM Bally games now to bling them that never originally had them.
Quoted from FrankJ:PB Resource has them for under $5.
Yea I bought one but Ive seen them without.
Paint room tonight. New rails have a hole for a carriage bolt up front (square hole) where as this game didnt have that... I guess it does now.

The carriage bolts up front are / were for Solid State games. They ground the rails via this bolt and ground strap (inside the cabinet).

Yea, kindda no choice now. I had to mangle the old ones getting them off, Bally used a lighter weight steel from gottlieb. And the new are even lighter weight than the Bally original.
