The Pinball Diaries

Like the title sez:

Ring assembly is WMS part #A-4754. Skirt is WMS part #03-6035-XX (a.k.a. Bumper Wafer).

Once again I borrowed these photos from parts4pinballs. I’m going to assume for the time being that they don’t mind.

Here, my friends, we have a drill template for a standard Williams/Bally pop bumper, as measured to the best of my ability off a blank ToTAN playfield.

Much better.

Even though the third phase of my pinball building scheme will never come to fruition, I’m looking for ideas people have for an original pinball theme.

So, if you have an idea for a theme, please post a comment or send me an email.

w00t!

It does look cool in in color.

Star-posts and rubber ring, placed on top of slingshot hole template. I bet it would look cool with colors.

At this point in time, I really really really like Sketchup.

Here is a drill template for the holes needed for a left-hand slingshot bumper. I tried to measure as obsessive-compulsively accurately as possible.

Man, I just love Sketchup.

Some of the dimension values look like they could be rounded to the nearest 1/32” or 1/16”.

WMS #03-8254-XX. Didn’t bother with the top screw holes.

Credit where credit is due: I sourced this photo from parts4pinballs.com.

I think I will add the screw holes since their position could factor into the ultimate mounting position in a real machine.

Behold the Star Post (WMS #03-8319-XX). Doesn’t have the inner details, but the outline is accurate.

Only about 1000 other parts to go before I can model a whole machine.
