Title: help with 1978 bally galaxy pinball machine Post by: s.young on November 12, 2012, 03:14:58 AM I have a 78 bingo style machine. It worked like a charm the first 8 months I've had it then all of a sudden I played the extra ball and since it will not light up the odds any more its as if the game doesn't restart. It's stuck as if the game is over even when trying to start a new game. I have cleaned the contacts and really don't know what I'm doing. A little help or any pointers would br greatly appreciated. I miss my pinball :(

good luck steve Title: Re: help with 1978 bally galaxy pinball machine Post by: Frank A on November 12, 2012, 10:53:25 AM All bingo games were way before 1978 and did not have flippers.

Ive tried the tilt before and it doesnt work. now the extra ball doesnt even light up like it did before. None of my scored are lighting up and the board the ball sits in just keeps going back and fourth as if the game is over and the balls doesnt come up to the shooter unless you manually hit the switch to push the ball up to keep the board closed to keep the ball from falling through the holes. but its a 24 hole board. but i will try what youve said the with spring and see if that will work. |
