PBR now sells the cover.

I have a few complete ball gates.

#16 9 years ago

Do you just need the blue steel flap? Or the metal bracket too? I have a whole bunch of the flaps I acquired from an old operator stash.

I have the box. I know the chime bar is missing. The coil bracket may still be in place.

#61 9 years ago
Quoted from jrpinball:

I saw a couple of glasses marked "sold out" on his website, but I'm assuming these are recent sellouts. I had a feeling that it was Ron who did the repop on "Palooka", but I wasn't sure. I sent him an email to see if he might still have one kicking around somewhere.

There's always a hope someone bought one for wall art or the just in case scenario. Maybe you can shake one loose.
Or maybe you can talk him into a rerun.

Quoted from dropdeadhippie:

Since I had great luck finding the gate I needed I'll try one other request
For my 1950 knockout I'd like to find a nice pair of orig 2" flipper bats with the blue "FLIPPER" lettering. The reproductions don't have the marbeling in the white plastic and they just look too bright and out of place on my rustic game.

All these will require some cleaning and re-lettering, but here is my 2" flipper collection.

Ship Mates has that drop front cabinet doesn't it. I wonder if it's like the Williams drop fronts where there were two different legs sizes used. Williams used 25" for the front and 28.5" on the back. Like Dirt says Gottlieb only used 27" and 31" so I wonder if Ship Mates should have 27" in the front and 31" in the back. Speculation on my part...

I have the same problem. The originals are metal clad over wood. Mine is missing the metal clad. I wonder if yours is the same? I know a guy that said he'd sell me one but every time I ask about it he doesn't give me an answer.

Nope, that one is homemade. Does what it needs to for now. Too bad about the repaint as well. But hey you have a Jungle. It's a cool game that is not easy to find.

I'm hoping someone out there can dig up a few for me. They don't have to be perfect. Just need to have a little meat on them than the ones I have.

I think I have about a dozen of these wiper fingers and springs. As you discovered they are hard to find and being a Williams fan myself was sort of hoarding them. I'm slowing down on collecting so I guess I could sell a few. Send me an email and I can get a few pics tonight.

#2298 7 years ago
Quoted from Toyguy:

Let the searching commence....
I'm starting to work on a 1947 Bally Ballyhoo flipperless machine. I'm already in need of some parts. If anyone has these or knows of a source for them, I'd love to hear from you. I'm happy to buy them and pay for shipping, of course. Here's what's on the list so far.
First up is this guy. It's like a regular post except it's cut out a bit on top for this bent post. This one is badly broken.

Next is the peg the springs attach to. I'm missing one just below the ball tray.

Of course, as you may have guessed, next is the spring. It takes 4 and the other 3 are all pretty well mangled. This one is rather oxidized but otherwise not bad. They are about 5 inches long hole-to-hole.

I also need a couple of the marbleized posts similar to the red one in that last photo - one in white, one in red and one in blue.
Finally, does anyone have a source for the oval-head screws used in these posts, or any to spare? I need around a dozen. Many of these have been replaced with round head or flat head screws which just look out of place.
Thanks!
Dave

I'm pretty sure I have everything you need except that funky notched post. But you could probably make one from a standard post.

Edit: Oh except the screws. I never seem to have enough hardware.

#2300 7 years ago

None of this is perfect but still very useable. I only have one of those odd flipper looking posts and unfortunately it's blue not yellow.

I'm going to be needing some of these diamond-shaped bumper posts:

Looks like I'm going to need 4 as the game currently has 2. The others have been replaced by round posts. Yellow would be ideal but I'm not that picky. If anyone has any they're willing to part with, please let me know. Happy to pay for them, of course.

#2549 7 years ago
Quoted from Toyguy:

Alright, here's a real longshot
All of the bumper skirts on my 1941 Argentine are taco-shaped and unusable as are some of the bodies. Fortunately, most of the caps are good and the two that aren't are plain and available from PBR. I've purchased modern replacements for all this and I think I can hack them to work, but they certainly won't look right. Before I go through the effort of replacing them all, does anyone have any of the following bits they'd be willing to part with?
4 marbled red bumper skirts, ideally with the metal pin at the bottom though I can probably make the all-plastic work.
1 marbled red bumper body - dead bumper not pop bumper.
5 marbled purple bumper skirts with the metal pin at the bottom.
7 marbled green bumper skirts with the metal pin at the bottom.
If anyone also happens to have a stash of marbled bumper bodies, I'd be willing to buy them. 4 red, 7 green and 5 purple would be ideal.
Thanks!
Dave

I may have some of the stuff you need. Hopefully I can remember to dig around and look for you tonight.

Not much luck. It appears I have a ton of red and yellow pin-style bumper skirts. I also have a lot of beige bumper bodies from this era. None if it is perfect but most likely usable.

#3110 7 years ago

I wish someone sold solid colored vinyl pop bumper protectors. This Spanish Eyes I recently acquired is really nice overall. The weakness is heavy wear around the pops. DC pops are really cool but that explosive power comes with a cost. Some colored adhesive backed vinyl protectors would be just the ticket.

#3112 7 years ago

Spanish Eyes is the first Williams game to switch from AC to DC power on the pop bumpers. This makes them a lot more powerful. And I thought the older Williams games were pretty snappy.

#3116 7 years ago
Quoted from Briehl:

Couldn't you just buy some colored vinyl and use a compass to cut a circle of it? I assume that 3m vinyl wrap they use on vehicles would be as durable as those mylar rings.

That might work. I didn't want this to get too involved. The game is just filler for the time, although more fun than anticipated. I just thought if there were a quick and easy solution to dress up that area and protect it I'd be interested.

#3119 7 years ago
Quoted from Briehl:

It thought this was a pretty quick and easy fix. Buy a sheet, cut as many circles as you need and stick them down. Short of not doing anything at all, I don't see much beine less involved?

Simple enough I suppose but involves going out and buying the materials and a compass. Then hoping I could cut perfect circles. Ideally somebody with a plotter was making these and I could just buy a few.

I do have a few of those old Wico woodgrain ones but I'm not evil enough to put them down.

#3175 7 years ago

Is the score reel working. Of course you'd want to fix it but it may still work with a broken (permanently open) EOS switch. This design is more a problem if it doesn't open. Anyway, the reason I ask is the coil looks a bit toasty.

I think I have a score motor from a Nine Sisters. Which would be Spec. 1329-A according to the Williams parts catalog. The earliest parts catalog on Planetary Pinball starts at 1952 so I'm not sure if it would work.

#3538 6 years ago

Here's my motor. Volts 45, Spec. 1329A. I paid $30 shipped for it some years back from another Pinsider. At the time I though I could use it in a 1960 woodrail. Then realized it wasn't the same specs as what I needed. I'd sell it for $30 shipped if you think you can use it.

Here's my broken one, anyone got one (or even 2, so I have a spare) of similar condition?

After cleaning the cabinet, that's one of the first things I do. Pull the mech board and see what treasure is kicking around loose in the bottom of the cabinet. Besides being kind of fun, a lot of times it gives you insight into what issues you're going to run into. Broken switches, missing hardware, burnt fuses etc.

etc = dead rats, mud daubers, old joints, occasionally some change

Ha. Yes, exactly like that. Flippers.com is always nice for hard to find parts. This one should be more common though. If I'm being honest, $20 plus shipping from Canada is more than I hoped to pay.

And I might get lucky and have less soldering on a used one. Here is a pic from another Pinsider that had the same issue in his Big Strike.

I appreciate you checking for me. Unfortunately that looks like Part # A-7195. I can tell by how the traces are numbered. The 1969 parts manual lists the style I need and the 1971 parts manual lists this style. So the changeover in design must have happened somewhere between 69 and 71. They are similiar enough that it may work. The trace layout is the same but the pads where the contact touches are a bit different. I actually have one in my parts stash. I may try it if I don't source the earlier version.

Quoted from nomo:

If you don't find what you need, you are welcome to have this one. I can take it apart if you want to see more. Best of luck.

I have one of that style but am grateful for the offer.

Quoted from trilogybeer:

I picked up a 1963 swing along . Was in pretty bad shape but I’m going through and making it nice . It came without legs and I’m not sure what type of legs this style cabinet uses (cabinet has lower part in front). No pics of legs on a game on ipdb . I will just buy new legs that are suitable but I would like to know if they should be the same length in the front and the back . Any suggestions of suitable legs from what is available at pinballlife?[quoted image]

Someone in an older thread confirmed their Shipmates (another Gottlieb drop front cab) used 27" in the front and 31" in the back. Does Pinballlife sell Gottlieb style non-ribbed legs? If so then you could order 2 of each. Otherwise PBR has them.

#5398 4 years ago

I have a spare set of decent 31" at home but no 27".

I have a set of 25" legs. I have owned a couple drop front Williams games that were missing the legs. So when a set came up I paid up a bit thinking I will be ready the next time. Well so far I haven't needed them. I'd consider selling them.

Probably have to look in the parts manual to find a part # and go from there. If you don't have a manual I'm sure someone can find that number for you.

Yes, standard tee nut and you can use regular levelers. Something charming about the old style though...

Which ones are these. I know the Williams games use a thicker style and Gottlieb use a thinner style. PBR used to have some of one type. Can't remember which?

Quoted from Bublehead:

Hello, looking for any machine specific parts to a Gottlieb Subway or Central Park. PM me. If you have been sitting on anything like a backglass, used playfield, or cabinet, now is the time to squeeze my nuts for them. Motivated buyer here... will pay premium prices for good usable parts. Need more Subway parts than Central Park, but I thought I would look for them too while I am at it. Or if anyone can point me to a supplier of recreation Gottlieb BG's or playfields. Seems weird I can buy an art print of these, but an actual usable BG or playfield is hard to find...

Shay lists both backglasses. You will have to check for availability.

Years back at the Chicagoland show a guy had a big stack of older Gottlieb playfields that I think were NOS. Not heavy hitter titles but could have had something like Sunshine in there. I guess my point is there is always a chance someone has one squirreled away.

Could use 1 Bally 3" score reel with good ink. It was weird, I cleaned them all and had no problems. Except for one. That one the ink wiped right off. See if you can tell which one?

I found an entire head for one, so anything is possible.
Doesn't "Big Top" have the same disc in it?

Does it? I didn't know that? I have redrawn the art in Illustrator, so I could make one but would much prefer an original if possible.

I just acquired a decent 1962 United Bonus Baseball pitch and bat. I haven't looked too closely but the underside of the playfield has been partially stripped/hacked. Finding a wired playfield would make this an easy project.

#8950 1 year ago

Long before 3D printing I had the 1977 EM "Pinball" by Stern. It had a smoked stepper PCB like that and I had no luck finding a replacement. Had high hopes but ended up selling it off as a project. No idea if the new owner got it going.

Quoted from tfduda:Bell shells for early Williams machines and early Gottlieb bell assembly wanted.
First, I am looking for bell shells with diameter of 4" and diameter somewhere between 2-1/2 and 2-7/8" for early 1950s Williams machines. These are for two missing bell shells from a Williams Nifty (1950) (that are shown below in photo of a machine that has them--photo from ipdb). I haven't been able to confirm the size of the smaller bell shell but based on the length of the armature on the stepper (and rough calculations of sizes from the photo), it looks like it has a diameter somewhere between 2-1/2 and 2-7/8" or so.
[quoted image]
Second, I am also reviving an older post from a few years back for a 5" bell assembly for a 1953 Gottlieb Grand Slam as shown in the photo below (photo is from a 1954 Gottlieb that has the correct striker assembly in it).
[quoted image]
Pinball Resource has a reproduction of a newer version of this assembly (see http://www.pbresource.com/news/gtb-b9359.jpg), but this newer assembly is too large for where it needs to go in Grand Slam (right behind the 10k stepper). The main difference between the one that was originally on Grand Slam and the reproduction is how they are mounted in the backbox--the newer one is mounted off the board (with four screws) while the correct one is mounted nearly flush to the board (with two screws).
Here's a photo (from ipdb) that shows the bell assembly in a Grand Slam.
[quoted image]

Been saving these 4" bells for quite awhile. Would let them go.

I had someone ask me about that recently too. Funny with all the coin door reproduction parts that doesn't seem to be available anywhere? I flipped through the old Gottlieb part book and didn't see it in there either. Although I there is a possibility it's line listed toward the back.

This is a long shot. I need the metal disc with the 3 screw holes in the center of my Gottlieb World Fair. I wanted to get rid of the pitting so I took it to be chrome plated. My plater now can’t find it.

I don't know if it helps but it looks like the same disc used to mount the beach ball animation wheel in Big Top and Pleasure Isle.

Quoted from phillyfan64:

AlexF any chance you can take that part out of your game and scan it? The piece underneath is impossible for me to remove.

It's always hard to say no when asked for a pinball favor. With that said, it's fairly involved to get to with the glass in. I'd have to move another machine to pull out the game. Drop the back panel, reach down in there with a short screw driver to get it off. Hopefully without dropping them down. Not to mention I don't have access to a flatbed scanner these days.

#9869 7 months ago
Quoted from Alan_L:

Any 1966 Williams machine should have 28 1/2" non-ribbed chrome legs. I'm not an expert but I have never heard of 25" legs. Do you have a low ceiling where your machine is placed?

Drop front Williams games with the big multi-denomination coin door have 25" legs on the front. They can be hard to find.

I think Pinball Rescue in Australia used to sell the background. Sadly they are no longer in business.
