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 :(

Sure it's not a Stern Galaxy pinball? Never heared of a Galaxy bingo pinball.

no  its a bally bingo  it has extra balls,   sound like extra relay is stuck inside head of game or spring is off  it , also could be extra ball button on front door  should clear with a tilt if not its stuck in extrra ball , then it has to be extra ball relay  holding in, is it a 20 hole bingo?
good luck

All bingo games were way before 1978 and did not have flippers.

thanks i will try that. 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.
