Diameter of Pinballs through the years
« on: April 17, 2009, 11:40:54 PM »
Hi Guys,

When I cleaned up my Drop a Card, I noticed that it has smaller flippers (2") and the balls are also a smaller diameter.

Does anyone know what the diameter of the balls should be for this machine?

All my other machines have the same diameter ball, from 1978 to 1996.

Cheers Angelo
