    I'm looking for a NOS or reproduction turret cover for my 1958 Bally Super Bowler. Is anyone remaking these or does anyone have one that they are willing to sell?

    Thanks in advance!
    Did you ever find one? Asking because I need one also mine is cracked.

    No, I never found one. I heard that someone, somewhere had a mold to make it but I never heard who actually has it. :-( I'm in for one of anyone has it (or 2)!

    If you can patch up the old one, and make a mold using Smooth-On
    products (they have many helpful videos) you should be able to cast replacements. I've done several and while they are a bit time consuming
    the results can be quite good.

    John do you have any tips for replacing the coils in the pin reset bank? I have to change a couple and it looks to be a complete pain in the butt.

    I have a mold that was used to make the reproduction covers that I purchased from someone here years ago. I never figured out what to do with it and no longer have the game. I'd be willing to part with it if someone is interested.

    There are a couple of people making ramps - I'd try them first...
