We're diving into the guts of the machine now. Keep in mind this a PM, pure mechanical, game so we won't find anything like solenoids or switches or motors in here. Everything is manual!

This is the baffle which routes the balls
to the totalizer. Note the shot is from the rear.
The baffle return spring. Time has taken
a toll on that rubber cushion!
The balls drop and trip the score
totalizer here. That metal slug is part of the tilt mechanism
This trough is where the free play balls
go. All paths lead to the ball feeder
The ball lifter and shooter assembly
Big chunk out of the cab =( Well I better
get started fixing the cabinet first, then.
Fixed using Quick Wood epoxy putty. The
green you see is Squadron Green spot putty.
A shot with the cab on it's side showing
the patched area. This stuff is strong!
All the decorative pieces removed.
Everything is corroded, even the nickel plated twist nails
The front sanded
and the back. Note the 3 holes. Maybe for an operator sign?
Filling and sanding done, ready for
paint! Before that I need to get a coin slide fitted, it was
missing on this game and apparently the original Bally slides are fragile and
hard to find. I ended up using an A.B.T. slide for now but I didn't want to
drill or hack the cab just in case I do find a Bally slide one day. So I had to
make some brackets to mount the ABT and it came out nice!
I need to get a 1933 nickel to stick in
there :)
Hey it works!
