Title: Stern galaxy lockdown bar wanted
Post by: Mr Pinbologist on January 12, 2011, 10:10:51 PM
Hi guys, as the title says, i'm looking for a lockdown bar for the Stern Galaxy that im doing the Cab repaint on. My mate, Martin who owns this game had no luck in finding one while he was in Sydney recently (the bar was missing when he bought the game), so i told him i'd try on AP in the hopes that someone reading this might have one laying around that they want to sell.

I know the bar from my Hot Hand fits as we tried it before Martin went away, i think one from Meteor fits too (pretty sure i tried Cam's one on it when his Meteor was here).  Martin took the bar from Hot Hand with him hoping to find one the same, he still has my lockdown bar so i can't post a pic of my lockdown bar, so i'll post pics of what it has to fit into.

Hoping someone can help  ^&^

Cheers... Mitch

Sorry I can't help except to confirm that any Stern lockdown bar from around Hot Hand onwards will fit (except widebodies!).

They do frequently appear on US Ebay but postage is a bit of a killer.

cheers

Thanks for that info Ian, thats what i was thinking anyway, that anything from Hot Hand onwards should be the same.
If no one here has one i'll tell Martin to start looking on eGay

I take it that Meteor lockdown is not compatible with Bally SS lockdown?
 Did they change the design to a Stern unique? Im bloody sure when i was scrabbling about for the Wild Fyre parts, i could use any Bally lockdown

No, Bally bars don't fit.  You would have to perform major modifications as the tab spacing is different.

cheers

Bally, Stern and Williams are all different (of this era)
