Bolts are held in place by 2 wingnuts.
The 3 contacts where the door goes aren't essential to get the machine going, but right now, I cant remember what they do...Need to go open the Ricochet to find out

  Yeah but my lock bar doesn't have the bolts?  Is there a plate with bolts welded or how are they held to the wood?

Ok.. so you don't have 2 holes through the lock down for the bolts to go through?

[ddstoys]

No gav I'll get some photos tomorrow there are indents that lock like the head of a coach bolt and then holes from screws?

[Retropin]

I might have a spare here.
Some have a squared  metal U shaped strip than runs the length of the lock down and the bolts are contained between timber and metal.
I found an old Williams bar here today in the shed which probably came off CASINO... pretty sure it has the same mech on it.
Will check tomorrow... you never know, it may fit???

[ddstoys]

Well that would make sense mate having the metal U shape containing the bolts the front timber does have a notch the entire width of the cabinet

[Retropin]

Will check in the morning for you... if its not that one then its Bingo Bango which is a converted Gottlieb from 1950

Aah my memory mixed up the WMS with the GTB.
Here's what should be happening under your lockdown bar mate..

Wow, looks like it came out of a time capsule, nice pick up mate

That's an interesting find. This game was more than likely a private import at some stage ? What are the coin mechs denomination ?

Amazing condition. You have unearthed some real finds lately 

Very nice machine that. Great back glass too, well done in securing it!

What a great part of pinball history.
