Folks,

I am looking for a complete stay bar with the pivot/anchor for a 1977-1981 Classic Bally machine.

Please, let me know if you can help me.

Thanks

Hi Yves,

I'm sorry, are you speaking of the Playfield (Fall) Support Bar? Not
that I have a spare, but it may help someone find one for you! If you
know the approximate length what will help too.

It is not very complex, a metal fabricating shop should be able to make
you one that is suitable. Just be sure to blunt the pointy end so it
doesn't eventually punch through the playfield as happened on more than
one Stern Electronics game in our experience!

John,

Thanks for the idea. Yes, I was thinking about getting a flat piece of metal at my local Home Depot and machine it. I was just exploring the possibility of finding a genuine part and the original pivot/anchor.

Yes, you are absolutely right about the "controlled" sharpness of the tip. Those playfields are heavy....

I built one with an aluminum bar. All set.

Hope it doesn't fold up on your when you are under the playfield! The
original ones were made of steel for a reason...
Of course if the aluminum is thick enough it will be fine, but not thin!
