Thanks going out to Claude for shipping me a repro Banzai Run Lockbar receiver sticker free of charge! Thank you sir!

You can get some Bally/Williams glasses still. Marco's will carry the odd one and some are NOS but mostly reproduction. Translites can also be had fairly easily. It really comes down to which title you're after. CPR has made glass. SHAY arcade group makes a lot of glass for older Gottlieb and...

Hey Scott. Welcome and good luck in your hunt. Can't believe I sold my minty restored and modded TZ a couple of years ago for $6500 and that, today, that would be a bargain! Well, the good news is they made a ton of them. One will surface. I'm pretty sure my shipping costs to Calgary (terminal...

Exactly as Chris & Doug stated. As long as the quality of the (licensed) reproduction is good, I don't think that it hurts the value in any way. Most buyers want their games to play and look great. I've purchased two classic Bally games that each had a new playfield installed. I paid more than I...

Just to close this up. I found the issue. It was just a little friction from the ball gate at the top of the shooter lane. It was interfering enough to slow the ball release by a fraction of a second. I bent it back enough so it wouldn't get in the way and no more problem. It now gets out of the...

I know someone bought one from SB just last week. Must've been the last one?

I watched some close up video of the operation last night. Seems the magnet releases the ball just a split second before the first orb gets launched. In my case the ball isn't releasing fast enough and getting in the way of the first launched 'orb'. Seems like everything is functioning... maybe...

looking for some advice from anyone with more Centaur experience than me. I've only had the game a short time and it works great, but it does have one tiny glitch. If I manage to send a ball up to the upper right lane to release the orbs and start multiball, it's usually grabbed and held by a...

Well, it's 2015 and I can't sleep after a huge family gathering and New Years party. It could be all the drinking It's been a couple of days now but I wanted to make sure one final good deed of 2014 was recognized. I big thank you to Sparky for, first, collecting my Bally Eight Ball from...

Rats! Missed your birthday Barry! Happy belated!!

Reg, When the pins start coming to you... that's when it all really comes together ;)

Hard to gauge their size from the pics. If they're very small my best guess would be somewhere on the speaker panel. They look like the "teeth" are threaded. Almost like a thin locking bolt or washer of some sort. If they're important you'll find out soon enough after reassembly ;)

I've owned an IJ for 8 years and have never seen that part. I've also taken apart several WPC era cabinets and can't say that it looks familiar. Where did you find them?

I'm not very familiar with the bally chime unit, but anything you can do to tighten up the strike plates and prevent excess vibration will probably help reduce the sound. You may also be able to simply place something on top of the plates to achieve this. Just keep in mind they will vibrate, so...

Sure.... Thanks Claude. I probably won't get around to restoring my banzai anytime soon... but at least it can have a snazzy new sticker.

Someone would have to verify this, but I'm almost certain those in-lane guides were originally developed by jpop. Could be wrong. Nice to see he's finally sharing some of this stuff outside of the owners' blog. John had promised a big reveal for the first week of January. I wonder if that's...

Just about to sit down to another Christmas meal. Had a great day with the kids today. They have almost as much fun with the new toys as I do ;) Hope you all have a great holiday too!

I'm sure mine is in rough shape. Nice work Claude!

I found myself in love with the world, so there was only one thing that I could do... Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

Awesome! I'm glad that sorted you out. Enjoy the holidays and BOPP :)
