Maannn! Looking real nice and getting very close.

Leebo, that machine is looking awesome, Thanks again!! Just finished watching this episode and had to update my comment. My favorite thing about this machine (In my very limited experience) is the circuit boards with IC chips and what not...and the simplicity of the relays and electro-magnetic aspects. I really enjoy these videos and would like to tinker with a machine myself....so much to learn and so little space to play!

Awesome, glad these are helping. Yeah, these early Ballys are a little simpler which is pretty cool. Thanks again for the comments.

Looking great. Those original Bally kickers are nearly impossible to find. Not sure if PBR has any. You can usually find them at Pinball shows. I found a bunch at last year’s Pinfest in Allentown. Mayfair (the backglass vendor) usually has them.

PBR doesn’t have ‘em. I spoke to Steve Young directly about them which he confirmed they didn’t have any and pointed me down an alternate path. The one that is still good that I took out is probably worth selling.

Btw, I just checked the slings last night in an actual playing game and they work fantastic with the new slings. I’ll be sure to grab that in the next video.
