FS: Parting Complete Bally Skill Roll. Let me know what you need for your
game.

Relax - I had to do this as part of restoring my personal game that needed
some of those special aluminum playfield switches and few other odds and
ends.

The cabinet is a repaint and if no one wants it, I'll turn it into a piece
for the local elementary school to use at their carnivals.


I will also have a limited run of Perfect Reproduction glasses in a few
weeks. I have was unhappy at the ones available so a friend at a design
firm is laying out all the artwork to my standards and they will be ready in
3-4 weeks. I'm only paying to produce ones that are spoken for so email me
for the details. I expect pricing to be in the $185 range. These will be
made from all new film and screens - guaranteed to be sharp.

Lastly, I will also have reproduction Cabinet Instruction Cards (complete
sets) done. I'll make these available at a nominal cost when finished and
printed on the correct stock.

Where does an instruction card mount on the cabinet? I've never seen
one on a game. I could use a couple of the compression springs that
act as shock absorbers for the flip handles.

There are actually several cards. The ones that I'm working on go on the
front center of the top wood trim - basically it says to let the score
register before shooting the nickle again. Look carefully, your game likely
has two thumbtack holes about 3 3/4" apart...

Tha second one goes on the lower back of the cabinet just above the
opening - it says that the opening has been provided so that the operator
can weight down the cabinet as needed. I guess that passed for a tip-over
warning in the 1950's...

I'm not re-making the below:

There is also a set of score cards that were included in the manual pack
that you could tape to the inside of the glass.

Finally - a big sign that went on top (to be attached to that small part of
the top wood trim) that said FAO - No Gambling.
