Title: How to secure a BB2 button panel?
Post by: Pinaddicted on January 30, 2024, 03:31:12 PM

How do you secure the front edge of a BB2 button panel to keep it from creeping up? I can push it down but it always pops back up in time, both of my machines do this.  :Scratch-Head:

Do you have a picture of what you are talking about?

This sounds like you have a slant button panel  i n those machines instead of the upright type

My bb2 came with the same button panel. Sticks up a little. Nothing to secure it from the bottom like a bb1 panel

Members are politely asking you to post a picture.
Maybe previous owner swapped, and gave you the wrong button deck?
We have tens of WMS BB2 upright machines here at work...not one of them "creep up"  :scratch-head_3:

Here's some pics of my button panel...

I've looked online and it looks like my panels may have a different piece of metal on the front edge, nothing to hold it down in front.

Those pics are of a Slant button deck.  Notice the metal bars that helps retain the deck in the door of an Upright machine are missing

I know It's difficult to see in my picture, but I found some insulated clamps with rubber insulation on them at the hardware store and mounted four of them to the deck I had like this on one of my machines.

This is what the stamped button deck metal should look like on the ends.

I definitely see the difference, looks like mine are from a slant top.

If someone has some scrap upright button decks, that metal piece (held by 12 studs) could be swapped out.
