Wanted Bally Ball Shooter Guide
« on: July 31, 2013, 07:22:27 PM »
Does anyone know where I can buy a Bally Ball Shooter Guide part number C-934? This is the white plastic sleeve which is located directly under the chrome shooter cover on early 80's (most probably other eras too?) Bally games.

Thanks for the replys guys. I'm after a new one. Mine isn't broken just very yellow and getting brittle so I thought I'd just replace it while I'm going with the restore.

PBR does  sell the gottlieb one's and they will fit after modifying the outside and you would have to file out the hole centres as they are about  3mm to narrow compared to the Bally type,  I have not tried this but i think it would work, only if you can't get a new one. Another suggestion,1 get a new plain shooter sleeve , 2 drill out existing nylon housing to suit the new sleeve 3 insert into hole, A friend did this on his Bally 'Strikes And Spare" and it worked a treat

Thanks for the ideas.  ^^^ I've ordered from Best of Pinball and they're on there way so I'm all sorted now.
