Custom Stainless Steel Ball Shooter Rods only
« on: August 15, 2020, 04:49:06 PM »
 I make custom stainless steel pinball shooter rod that is made with a (medical grade) 304 stainless steel ball attached to a Bally/Williams rod..
 This will suit pinball machines from the 90's like CV, TOM, TOTAN, TAF etc.

They will also fit on older machines Bally/Williams pinball’s if you like the look and feel of them.
See Centaur pic

Note:For Stern pinball’s I have successfully put them on them if you are willing to do some a modification the bushes in the Stern Ball Shooter Housing – 535-5067-02
If it is tight in the bushes just drill to suit (with a 3/8” drill Dia 0.375” and in metric 9.53mm)
Stern Shooter rods diameters are 9.45mm

For the correct length for a stern I supply stainless steel spacer to suit..

Shooter rod is $70aud

Spacer is for free if you are willing to put them in a stern pinball

 Postage would be $10.60
 Express Postage $13.60
here is some pics

Absolute quality gear too. They feel stunning in the hand. The weight is perfect.


I'm going to get a spare stern plate so i don't have to drill my Aerosmith LE to get one on there instead of the plastic Jackie handle.


Buy with confidence folks, these are beautiful.

Thanks mate, ordered. They're just as at home on a newer machine as an older machine. (and they slot straight into the American Pinball machines)

They look very nice indeed!

Dave is no longer making these due to a job change, but i love them so much i've had a local shop CNC them for me.


Made from 316 stainless now, the MOQ has me with a bunch of spares.


If anyone wants some let me know, cost is $95 per rod, up to 10 will fit in a $15 express post bag.


They will be a few weeks out, but get your name down if you want in on this run.
