If you have a late 50's early 60's Williams Baseball game below you are probably aware that PBR ran out of stock of the spring a couple of years ago and they were not viable to have remade.

I eventually found a spring manufacturer able to make the spring for an acceptable price so I ordered 100 and will sell in pairs to all that needs them. I also had the spring made a little stronger (8-10%) as these games are not as pristine inside the pitch mechanism and they need to 'pop' that ball. I fitted one to my recent Short stop restore that has a can motor and it shoots the ball out now. I can't hit it every time.

I don't think that these springs will last long so even if you may not believe you need one today you need to invest as I won't need to make these ever again. So a pack of two is $15.00 + postage. I will sent a pack or two out next week and will find out the minimum postage and update.

Suitable for all E-5613 pitching units found on the;
1958 Short Stop -#203 and #205
1959 Pinch Hitter - #217 & #221
1961 Batting Champ -#249
1962 World Series -#273 & #275
1963 Major League -#285 & #286

I have a few orders and the cost of shipping is $4.00.

So two springs and shipping is $19.00.

Same price up to 12 springs shipped is $ 4.00.

My games are all ‘punchy’ now with this new spring. Seems the power in the spring does fall off a bit over time. That surprises me but maybe the original spring was on the edge performance wise.

Welcome to Pinside. Happy you are fixing these games, that is what the threads are all about.

I had the springs formed as they are not available. When they are gone they are gone. The spring has been an issue for a bunch of us with the games from this time period. Be careful when you install the spring not to get it caught under the center cam piece when you wind the spring and all will be fine. I have seen your PM and will respond.

All,

Thank you all for the support buying these springs up to date. Been a little busy lately but first few orders are now going out. So out of 100 springs 50% are gone already.

Keep those orders coming and I will see what else that is unobtainable that I can work on.

I installed on my World Series and short stop. Completely changed the game play.

The shortstop has a strike feature so if you miss three balls you are struck out. Pretty cool feature.

Note I did destroy a new spring as I forgot to pin the torquing wheel to the assembly and it allowed me to over torque the spring as it raised up on the shaft.

So be careful that all is secured in place before torquing.

Your very welcome. Won’t hurt to change the spring.

Hi Ted, yes still have a bunch available. It's $10 to send two to Ontario area. So total $25.00. Pm me your address and I will provide PayPal instructions.

No it is a different pitching unit. It is a D-6322-66. think Steve Young at PBR has the spring if it has a spring.

The Williams baseball details are listed in thread #1 for all baseball games i could get data on. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/williams-baseball-game-motor-coils-and-bat-assembly-information#post-3147457

Bump for all baseball arcade game owners.

Springs still available.

Still have 15 pitching spring sets available.

Suitable for all E-5613 pitching units found on the;
1958 Short Stop -#203 and #205
1959 Pinch Hitter - #217 & #221
1961 Batting Champ -#249
1962 World Series -#273 & #275
1963 Major League -#285 & #286

I have only one of the pair of springs remaining for sale. I had a big run this last 2 weeks and am about cleaned out.

Thank you all for joining me in buying these for our baseball games, I personally will not need to have these made again.

I am happy to send after the last set is gone my fab sketch and suggest googling spring manufactures and see if they will make a limited (5 or less) run. I had 100 made to get a suitable price break for everyone. A reasonable price for 5 springs is about $100.00 from my research.

Best regards Steve J

The springs supply is now exhausted. Thank you all for supporting this community driven effort to a part fabricated in support of keeping our games performing at the top level. I will not make these springs again in bulk but there is always the avenue (expensive) to have small numbers made. I have the sketch and can recommend spring makers but advise you find one locally if possible so can get others made.

Regards Steve J.
