Bally Postcaps
« on: April 10, 2011, 09:47:24 AM »
I am looking to replace some of the more worn out parts of the playfield on my games (posts, rubbers, etc).  For the Bally SS machines I have (1976-1980), I am trying work out the correct (ie. as original as possible) type of postcap to use.

Having a quick look at the PBR website, the following image of postcaps is available.



My earlier versions of SS (1976-1978) have the "BLY-Postcap" type, and my two 1980s SS have the RIN-PC type.  Did the rubber type of postcap (RIN-PC) exist when these games came out?  Do most people just go for the RIN-PC to minimise the possibility of plastic breakage?

Thanks in advance.

As far as i know 80's SS had the rubber type post... i know mine do.

Personally, i dont like the rubber type and much prefer the earlier BLY type... if i need to replace i just use these

Early SS had the postcap, then I think it was changed in 1979-80 to the rubber caps.
