Nino,

They are different again, they have rounded heads on them....the actual bolts will be really tough to find



Tony - They sound like they are the same as Bally Bingo legs ?

Looks very much the same as a Bingo Bolt. I'll see what I have.

 $#$  @@*  #*#  Well im very happy after a visit to the bolt shop to find they have nothing similar i decided to add 2 washers instead of one to give me the tension i was missing to use new pinball leg bolts.    Was a little nervous after bolting the legs on didnt know if the 50 year old legs were going to break and destroy all my hard work.   Luckily the held together..
