More assemblies are rebuilt. The Ball Trough was cleaned with the Ultrasonic cleaner and now I want to replace all the rollover microswitches. These were a mixture of original switches and some modified - but I know these will be troublesome, so I replace all the switches.






Drop Target assemblies have the springs and Targets replaced ;










Lamp Sockets - Most of the #44 sockets were rusted. They needed to be replaced. Some of the #89 were in bad shape as well, so I will replace most of them.





New Socket with Diode installed ;





.. and here is the difference !





Playfield Posts - These were a mixed bag of originals, broken originals, Bally Williams and incorrect posts.





The Original Factory Posts are expensive and the thread is thin, so they will break in time. I replace these with a stronger DE / Sega Post - 530-5332-03. We supply these stronger replacements on the RTBB site ;

You will need to drill the holes with a larger bit for the #10 thread. These posts will never break.
