it's not in the bally 400 manual supplement which has the 873 cabinet parts diagrams.  I'd guess some kind of cap went over it.


what color wires do the blue ones attach to on the terminal strip?


does it look like a buzzer or light?

That looks like a level tilt switch.

It is a bell with the metal gong removed.
There should be a dome shaped gong that rings when struck.
The part in the center is a electromagnetic coil that moves a striker
that hits the gong making a ringing noise.
