Wanted Bally EM worn drop target reset linkage solutions? (A-3392 discontinued?)

[David_Vi]

Hi,

I have a 5 target drop bank where the drops aren't reliably resetting. Sometimes they'll all be up but one will drop when the reset coil fires on the start of a new ball or game.

The bakelite linkage hole is elongated creating a lot of slop in the reset. I think this is at least part of the issue.

Unfortunately it seems this part (A-3392) is either out of stock everywhere or noone is reproducing
it.

Does anyone have this part, or an old drop bank I could use for parts? Or a solution to fix this?

'Delrin' is spoken as a bakelite replacement (fibre board).. making a copy and replacing the worn part would probably be my solution..

 

[David_Vi]

I thought of that but I don't think I have any tools to cut bakelite or Delrin. How easy are they to cut and drill?

 

[Phil Lee]

delrin is easy to machine - apparently.. but not experienced myself..

Fill the hole with araldite then redrill a new hole.

Shafts got some rust but hole don't look worn. Ken

Nothing worse than having a rusty shaft.

Nothing worse than having a rusty shaft.

Or a slack hole

Think I saw a bag of new ones of these somewhere in my spares the other day
