Looking for either a Bally Wizard Bonus Unit or at least the plastic gear.

As you can see my new project pin’s plastic gear’s teeth are worn to hell. Thanks.

Looking for an 8 slot Bally switch actuator. I believe it’s a C-813. The one on mine is broken off in a couple of places. PBR and Marco Specialties are out of stock. Maybe there is a way to repair?

Yes it does. I think the former owner kept playing it with it broken and the switches on the 10 point relay would lock on and not release back and scorching it I assume. He finally bent one of the switches so they didn’t make contact.

I’d be interested to know more about modeling this part and the 3D printing.

Thanks Mark, I’ll see if I can do that this weekend

This project machine has made me a patient man. Thanks.

That’s awfully nice of you. I’ll take my old actuator off this this weekend and see how close they are.

Thanks a bunch.
Danny

Yeah I think that’s a possibility. Mark G mentioned something similar so I’m going to need to check it out closer this weekend.

Doesn’t look like that’s an option because 6 of the 8 slots get used and 3 of them are cooked.

Don’t think it’s going to work that way. I need 2 good slots in succession and as you can see there are 3 in a row that are burnt/broken and there are 6 switches that go into the actuator. You can also see that some hack glued a couple of piece of metal into the broken slots to close the gap.

It’s a wonder a bigger disaster didn’t happen. I think I can use your actuator. It measures the same in length although the width is different. I think it may work. Sending a pm. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I may try the latter and see what happens.

Will do. Gracias

Thanks Izzy. PinballAir is sending me a couple just like yours and I’ll see if they work. Appreciate the offer.

Ken, you might be referring to me. You can see the pics if mine in post 7106. Thanks.

Yes for sure if you don’t still have them next week. I’ll know soon then if I still can use them. Much obliged.

I remember Tim but I haven’t seen him since that Foghat concert back in 77.

Looking for a 3” ball gate with the one way wire for a Bally Wizard. My project pin didn’t have one (big surprise). I looked on Marco and PBR but didn’t see any in stock. Thanks.

A375A33C-315C-4B58-B93C-980322E81BC4 (resized).jpeg

Thanks for that. It looks like 3 of them might work, all from the same seller. Hopefully one of them is close to the same length.

Ken, if you still have those 2, I’ll take them. Just let me know how much. Thanks.

Thanks Ken, the one on the left finally solved my 10 point relay issues. And thanks to @PinballAir, Dakine747 and John_In_WI for helping also.

Definitely a relief.

D5FFBB89-93CF-4BD9-BAD9-5996FE926490 (resized).jpeg

Also, I’ve still got the one on the right, so if anyone needs it just let me know. Glad to pay it back.

6637F5FA-8E9D-4D5C-8C62-C89DFCA616B6 (resized).jpeg

Chuckle...

I definitely still have 1 of them and possibly both that PinballAir sent me. They almost worked but were a hair to tight but pinhead52 hooked me up with a Bally replacement.

You’re welcome to have them. Just send a PM with the address. Danny

@nikrox2. Just checked and I only have one. You’re welcome to it but since PinballAir has 2 of them, maybe that’s a better option unless you can use 3. Just let me know.

It’s a little tedious getting the long switch blades through the correct slots but to me the main thing to remember is to make sure and put nuts or alligator clips on the ends of the screws of the switch stacks after you remove them so they don’t fall apart. And to take pictures before.

I just unscrewed the whole relay off the back board and let it dangle when I replaced the actuator.

I think I’m looking for 2 bell coil plunger/strikers. I replaced the old bell coils but there were no plungers in the sleeves like the nylon tipped metal ones you see in chime coils.

I didn’t see anything available at Marco or PBR but I might be looking for the wrong thing. I have the new coils and sleeves.

This is my first em pin with bells instead of chimes. Wondering exactly what I need. It’s a 1962 Williams 3 Coins.

Thanks, Danny.

Thanks Kevin. Before I order, it looks like they list a Williams bell striker part B-5393 above where the A-5387 knocker plunger is listed. Not sure which one is correct.

I need plungers for both the 5” bell and the smaller one.

Thanks Mike

You are exactly right. I was just getting ready to post that PBR informed me today that the B-5393 part was indeed the whole assembly and that the A-5387 plunger should work for both bells.

It was a little confusing to me how they had it worded. Thanks Again.

There is a green one for OXO on eBay that you probably already have but I’m wondering if you couldn’t repaint it. Might be worth a shot if no one on here has one.

I agree with ibis about the 175 degree oven method between glass working like a charm but I had one from my recent addition 3 Coins that was so badly warped that it had curled under itself almost into a ‘U’ shape.

Could you post a picture of the plastic and how bad it is warped? The oven/glass method worked great on 7 of the 8 I had but that last one I had to carefully hit it with a heat gun on low heat till it became a little pliable and then gently used my hands in between heat ups to get it to where it could put it between glass. You do have to be extra careful not to heat it too much at one time or the paint will bubble and raise and can ruin the plastic.

I could use 1 of this type of ball gate that goes on the shooter lane of Aladdin’s Castle and on the right upper return lane on Wizard! If anyone has an extra.

It measures right at 3 1/4” long and I don’t need the screws. I figured PBR and Marco would have them but Marco didn’t last time I checked and I can’t find it on the PBR website and am trying to avoid a phone call lecture. Thanks.

5FE6A5FC-41C8-4598-8237-8F07B429757C (resized).jpeg

Thanks Mike. It would probably work if you can part with it. I’d be interested in seeing it if you could post a pic.

Danny

Thanks for that @vec-tor. Are those bracket and wire numbers from PBR?

That’s exactly what I need it for, my Nitro Ground Shaker. I swapped it to put on my Wizard! because it came without one.

Got it. Thank you.

Thanks for the picture. That looks like the one that Marco offered but I’m afraid that the shorter area on it where the ball passes through might get in the way.

Appreciate the effort.

I’ve got a different two words to describe it and who did that but you’re right.

Rhymes with sure coughs.

Has bgresto changed something or is it that you don’t want to wait that long to get it?

I could have sworn they had it listed as a backglass they’ve done before.

Be interesting to know for me because I was getting ready to order a new BG from them for my Night Rider. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks, PM sent back.

You didn’t mention what shape but here’s one. I like touching up/repainting playfields
and this one is especially doable although definitely time consuming.

Where would I find a new one of these? It’s from a Williams Wild Card. I’m going to replace it and the bridge rectifier. If PBR has them, I can’t find it. Thanks

Awesome. Thanks a bunch for the info and the find!

Ha ha. I think I can hook you up with a few new Fast Draw Cowboys from PBR.... got a few old Pee Wee Herman clown drops from the ones I replaced on my Jumping Jack too.

I over ordered on the Fast Draw targets so just need your address in a PM.

Ha ha. I’ve got 2 old ones I can send you from when I replaced awhile back. Note the bottom ridge or hood is not there but they worked and reset fine before.

Also have plenty of old Pee Wee Herman clown drops from my Jumping Jack too.

PM sent

It’s a Williams 3 Coins. I sent him
Pictures of my 3 Coins 1 point relay to see if it was wired correctly, so I’m assuming it was.

Looking for a Bally ball gate with wire if possible that measure right at 3 1/4” from end to end and 3” screw hole to screw hole.

They are on 3 of my games, Wizard!, Aladdin’s Castle and Nitro Ground Shaker but the Wizard didn’t come with one and I never see the right one on eBay. Thanks.

Looking for the small middle plastic for a Gottlieb Sure Shot. Not a big deal but I thought I’d ask if anyone has an extra. Thanks.

Looking for a Gottlieb transformer for a 1977 Lucky Hand. Also, If anyone can tell me the model number for the correct one it would be much appreciated in case no one has one for sale here.

Thanks
Danny

Thanks but no. I just bought it and the transformer had been removed when the guy that I bought it from originally purchased it.

Thanks, That’s what I’ve been hearing also but I wondered that same thing like is my 4 player 1975 Fast Draw transformer just like my 1974 single player Top Card transformer? I’ll look at both tomorrow.

I have plenty of time before I have to figure it out.

Thanks Ken. I looked and the B-3235 is what’s in my 76 single player Sure Shot too. Just found this one and bought it.

Anybody need any or all of the plastics for a Gottlieb Jacks Open/Lucky Hand, let me know.

They cleaned up nice but the lower left plastic does have a chunk missing. The only other blemish is the big plastic behind the drop targets has a tiny crack but hardly noticeable. I figured I go all out on this restoration of a Lucky Hand so I ordered new plastics.

2C74A190-84A6-438B-96FB-77F93E15EC7C (resized).jpeg

What about printing up some numbers using waterslide decals and poly over them? I did them on all my blank Sure Shot inserts and they turned out nice. Just had to find the correct font.

Probably a longshot but I’m looking for a Bally ball gate and wire for my Wizard!

Lots of other ball gates available on Marco website but all too small in length. I can measure again when I get home from work but it’s opening is close to 3”, maybe 2.75” and over 3” from screw to screw. Thanks.

95866EF4-F9DA-4EE6-8F35-105F8748C857 (resized).png

Thanks for the part number. I think it’s also the same gate as on my Aladdins Castle shooter lane/spinner ramp. pinhead52 Ken said he may have one.

Hey guys, before I call PBR, does anyone know what part this missing rollover button would be and if there’s something compatible I could find as a replacement? I just bought this machine but haven’t picked it up yet but can get a measurement from the owner if that helps.

It a 1976 Sonic ‘Faces’. I know that Williams parts are compatible with Sonic machines for the most part but other than that I’m lost on this. Thanks for any help.

77C99780-8AFC-4AE7-AF70-5346201F513D (resized).jpeg

Thanks Ken. That’s a big help and it’s 3/4” in diameter so that sounds right. Never owned a Sonic before so I got nervous.

Great point. Hopefully the 3/4” rollover button from PBR will work and the good news is that the rest of this machine looks to be in really good shape, including the particle board cabinet.

Looking for a pawl that drives the Match Unit ratchet wheel for 1976 Sonic ‘Faces’. Looks like the original one broke off. Not sure if a 1976 Williams would be compatible like from my Space Mission but I can check if I need to.

Thanks.

6A712D36-9FC7-4EED-BD44-F9D028872F98 (resized).jpeg

Tomorrow I’m going to pull up the bottom board and see if maybe the thin wires broke off of the pawl and it’s down there.

Thanks. Now I’m wondering if someone swapped it out.

Sometimes you get lucky. Sure enough it came off and had rolled under the bottom board. I’m assuming that’s the entire pawl piece minus a little wire.

89ACFF22-8735-49BF-B29F-4A4D3CCBC673 (resized).jpeg

Thanks, that makes sense. It fits perfect and drives the nylon gear by hand but I’ll have to figure something out. I’ll look at my Space Mission tomorrow.

So I’m guessing there’s no E-clip on this to keep it in place.

Anyone have an extra Williams top Left rebound gate that is part #A-4817-L?

It’s the same one that is on my Space Mission but I need it for a 76’ Sonic ‘Faces’.

Steve Young said they didn’t have any.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot Mikala . I sent a PM and will see what happens.

I think he’s going to hook me up. Big thanks to you for the link.

Always remember my first encounter talking to Steve and I was a little nervous after reading threads on here. I tried to email earlier but they were only taking calls so I called and I gave him my customer number and he said, what can I do for you? I said well, I emailed earlier and he replied tersely “this isn’t EBay!”. I heard Jimmy in the background say “he didn’t say EBay Steve, he said email”.

He apologized and couldn’t have been any nicer after that. We actually talked for about 10 minutes after he got my order. No wonder people usually get a busy signal first try lol.

I had a heck of time finding the larger ball gate for my Wizard but finally got lucky on eBay last year. I may have the smaller gate in my tool chest. I’ll check when I get home from work.

I looked at everything and this is what I have. I don’t have the 3” gate but I do have a 2 1/2” gate from screw hole to screw hole and looks to be stainless and not the shiny chrome one. It came from a Bally Sea Ray if I remember correctly. You’re welcome to it if you can use it.

Danny
