So if you want maximum performance out of your Bally 80's pops, at minimum you will want to:
1. Clean everything. All that black carbon dust is abrasive.
2. Replace the Coil Sleeve. A new Sleeve will give the pops maximum power.
3. Clean and gap the Switch Contacts. Clean switches give the game full power. Follow the gaping instructions earlier in the guide.
4. Replace the Spoon. The old Spoon has grooves that cause it to have memory. A new Spoon will return the randomness to the game.
5. Replace worn Yokes. The fiber ones will always have heavy wear. Wear makes slop, and slop robs the pops of power that could be used to drive the ball harder.
6. Replace Ring/Rod if the rods are loose. Polish and wax the Ring so the ball will have less resistance and thus faster play. If the Ring has corrosion or a rough surface that does not easily polish out, replace it.
Do NOT overtighten the Rod Nuts. They easily break.
7. Check plunger tip for mushrooming or uneven wear. A tiny amount of mushrooming can be filed off with a fine metal file. Uneven wear is probably a sign that both the plunger and coil stop need to be replaced.
8. If the tip of the Wafer is worn (compare to a new one), replace it.
9. Replace any corroded or broken springs.
