Crown Point, IN
Quoted from ChipS:Let me know how it goes with your local guy (I'm assuming New Jersey). I'm in Maryland and am looking for someone in driving distance.
The local guy is actually in Philadelphia. With the I95 fire and road collapse today it will be tough to get to. The place is about a mile from the fire. I’ll call first. If I go there I’ll need to find an alternate route. I have to see if there’s anyone right near me in South Jersey.
Quoted from mwester229:I have a Bally Sea Ray that is missing a mech on the lower mech board. Can someone please help me identify this component.
[quoted image]
I believe that is a Nickel coin control counter.
That’s an alternator unit, coin chute adjustment mechanism. Game can generally be played without.

It's in the manual and the playfield chart in the parts catalog:

Quoted from wayner:Would appreciate if someone could identify this missing label on my Bally Fireball pls.[quoted image]

Quoted from illawarra92:stainless ball guide material wanted
need to make 4x 4" stainless guides.
see photos, the lanes go along the top of the 2 white posts.
any suggestions on where to find the material?[quoted image][quoted image]
I believe Steve Young at Pinball Resource might have metal lane covers.
Quoted from vec-tor:I believe Steve Young at Pinball Resource might have metal lane covers.
They're in the tools section (https://www.pbresource.com/toolbox/mat-shield-01.jpg).
Description from https://www.pbresource.com/tools.html:
"MAT-SHIELD
8" length center-to-center of holes (8-9/16" overall), flat
High polish one side, protective covering to be removed.
Thickness 0.042 laser cut
Hole in each end #18 drilll to print...ends rounded.
Gottlieb and others used flat nickel plated shiny metal shields over top of playfield posts to create lanes....before plastic rollover guides came into use. They made an annoyingly large number of them of differing lengths. On a game, they are rusty and don't clean up well or are dented, or both.
We have had made an 8" strip of high polished stainless steel with each end punched and rounded. Width is 5/8". The idea here is to make it long enough that it would serve to make 1 long or 2 shorter shields. The customer would cut, round, and drill the lengths desired but one end is ready to use alreasy."

If the PBResource angle doesn't work out, a service like SendCutSend is perfect for this sort of thing.

Thank you for your help with this. I appreciate it

Thank you for your help with this. I appreciate it. It does work without it, I was just wondering what would have been there.
Quoted from NicoVolta:Rassen-frassen interlock relay tab broke off (70’s Bally). It’s the shorter one… naturally it couldn’t be the more common standard size.
Anyone got one to spare from a parts motherboard?
[quoted image]
Pre-[up to Wizard 1975] or Post Wizard 1975.
Bally made slight changes to the relay assemblies...just to make things harder.

After… it’s from a Craptain Fantastic

Thinking, if all else fails, can a regular 1976 relay metal armature be used, by grinding down
the front prongs off?? that are mounted within the nylon plastic switch actuator.?

Second best option would be slicing down the longer more common version… but surely… lotta parts motherboards… out there?

Can anyone suggest a source for small wood screws?
This is for Doodle Bug. Four slotted, black, flat head wood screws hold down the center plastic over the doodle chamber.
They would be no. 2 or close to it.

Quoted from BubbaK:I'm looking for this light assembly for a Gottlieb roto target. I know it fits a Gottlieb Sea Shore. I'm not sure what game this pic is from. PBR doesn't have it.

You could probably just bolt together a pair of #44 sockets like the one at the top of the page here:

Thanks Mark. I figured I may have to invent something for this and have been thinking about it. I've still got a bit of time before I "need" it.

How about a 70s bally
20230706_154530.jpgQuoted from PinballPianist:Pinball Atelier sells brand new Chime Units with Bally coils and sound box. [quoted image]
Tempting but with shipping to the US it's $220.
I'm looking for a Bally chime unit as well. Want to see how a 4MBC sounds with chimes vs the bells.
William's and Gottlieb units on Ebay right now for ~$100. Don't want to go that route but......
Looking for a reproduction or a pristine Spin Out backglass. Will ship but would prefer to pick up in the northeast.
Quoted from undrdog:Looking for a metal pop bumper yoke, keyhole style. Used by Williams up through the early 1970s.

I have a couple, shoot me your address
Quoted from Playdium:i will be parting out a Gottlieb King of Diamonds soon. No backglass no lockdown bar.
PM sent
Quoted from pinhead52:I have a couple, shoot me your address
Thank you very much! Be sure to swing by if you’re ever in Garland!
I was wondering if anyone had any extra white 3/4" rollover buttons. I broke one of the original white ones during disassembly and can't find a new replacement in a color other than clear yellow or orange.
Alsao looking for a "quarter" price plate for the old Bally coin door.
Thanks!
