Locks for Bally 9000 machines

[Amechanic]

Most of you know me for the older Bally & IGT machines.. I am expanding into new waters by purchasing 2 Bally 9000 machines.. I need to purchase the door locks and cams. The top chrome piece is spring loaded and does not stay closed. 

Thanks, Gary

Check with Spin Inc. they have the locks ,spacers & cams.

I remove the spring load mechanism on both the top door and the middle door.  Those spring loaded mechs are a pain in the butt even when you have the locks.  Removing them makes it easier to service machines when I have no locks.

I take the locks off the cpu and reel board and use them

I'm not sure of lock lengths or cams needed? So many different lengths, bends, and hooks..

[Amechanic]

Ok update. I went digging inside my new machines and found the cams from the locks zip tied inside the machine. Now can anyone tell me the length of the locks?

I space out a 5/8" lock to about 1/2" to get the cams to clear.

Where are you finding spacers for the locks?

None on the CPU, just on the one above the reels.

I've got a lot of cylindrical lock spacers. I could send you some but you would have to trim them down to the height you need. They are 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2 in. Gene

I did just see on Spin that they had 1/16" spacers. I didn't see any 1/8". Might have to make a phone call. I could use two of the 1/16", but that doubles my cost.

How do you come up with keys for those locks ?

Mine were inside a small cloth bag and one was zip tied to the door wiring.

for future reference:  if you need spacers for your locks: here is what I have done.  3/4" copper pipe is the same size as the spacers you would purchase. you can cut the pipe to any length you need.  use a pipe cutter and they come out pretty neat, then you can spray paint them silver or what ever color you want.

I bought the locks for $8 and bought the locks on ebay ,went to home depot and bought the washers from the construction section that feed just right and they are nickel plated so they are nice and shiny , worked just fine
