Thought I'd finish the thread with some "after" shots of this restore.
Under the bonnetAs with all my games, all parts are removed, cleaned and tumbled. All mechanisms are rebuilt and replaced with new parts where needed - but ALWAYS - New coil sleeves. Flipper rebuild kit is manditory.
Inside the door - always rebuild the internals of the door. I REGRAIN (not polish) the door skin as that was how it was done in the factory. I HATE the high polish that some people do to the front door and siderails. Looks VERY un natural.
Final pictures
Playfield without the flash ;
Final pictures of the playfield with the spinner installed. This was simply an image with a piece of mylar.
This was sold to a collector who owns several machines I've restored. I think it was later onsold to a guy starting out in the hobby in NSW. I'm not 100% sure.
Definitely a fine playing early Bally with an excellent art package.
Next Bally restore will be either a Fathom or an Eight Ball
