I don't think the chimes in my Bally Space Time pinball are original, I have two long bars and one short, so I'd like to make new ones since I can't seem to find anyone who sells them. Does anyone know what size, length, width, thickness the bars should be for all three, plus should they be make of aluminum or steel? At least I know I can still buy the chime box rebuild kit from Pinball Resource.

Thank you,

Jason

Great information, I'll keep you posted how it all goes. I should get the remaining parts for my pinball today so I'll be assembling it on my days off next week. I'll find a place to pick up some bar stock and start shaping it as you described .

Talking with pinball resource, the 3 lengths should be:
5 7/8" or 149.2256 millimeters for the small chime
6 3/8" or 161.9256 millimeters for the medium chime
6 7/8" or 174..6257 millimeters for the long chime

I hope to find a place this week that sells the bar stock and cut it down either there or at my work with the shear. Pinball resource said make it out of aluminum, I'll see what I can find, stainless, steel, aluminum, etc.
