Baby Pac-Man
Bally, 1982I am currently restoring/retheming a baby pac man pinball machine and one of the kicker assemblies is missing from the game. I went to the marco website and (I think) found the correct assembly. However it says that it is "out of stock". Where can I get this assembly? Any help is much appreciated. Here is the link to the assembly that I need.

What are you retheming it too? Are you going to write new video software??
I probably have an extra outhole saucer assembly.
You'll likely have to scavenge it. I'm not aware of it being remanufactured in its entirety. Try putting up a WTB post for that kicker assembly.
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:What are you retheming it too?
I am still working on the theme. Not quite sure yet.

No, I am not going to have a video game integrated into this game. I only have a partially populated playfield anyway. I will definitely need to rewrite the software for the game rules, but I am taking out the video game.

I will try that, thanks!

Rocketland Coin-op has about half a dozen very high quality, fully populated Baby Pac-Man playfields. If you need the whole shebang, those guys have parted out dozens of BPMs

Maybe I should rephrase that. I'm going to keep the video game out because all I have is a semi populated playfield that is missing a few things, and it would be a pain to find, buy, and possibly restore a baby pac-man cabinet. Like I said, I am re-theming the game, and I have chosen not to go to the work of finding the cabinet and re-programing the video game. And if I'm being honest, I'm not a fan of pinball/video game hybrids
Is this possibly it?
ebay.com link: Bally Saucer Hole Kicker Assembly
There are numerous options on ebay that may be it if you search “bally kicker”.

Well, it looks like the correct one. I am somewhat wary of ebay, any red flags to look for?

For something this inexpensive not really other than shipping costs. The item looks pretty dirty. Hopefully it is in working condition and is what you need.

Baby Pac-Man projects are cheap when they come up. You wouldn’t kill yourself buying one.
Have you played it? If it’s setup properly it’s an amazingly addictive little game.
I FINALLY acquired its sister, Granny and the Gators. Most people just set their game up really crappy and make it not fun.
It’s interesting to try and make the playfield a stand-alone game. I would add slingshots, the original prototypes had it and they removed them because the game was so chaotic.
The guys I mentioned above would sell the entire populated playfield to you for probably $150 or so.
