see light shields SOLD OUT! Not anticipating getting more soon. If you want to get your own from Belgium, go to it. You need to wire transfer money to them, and cough up the customs tax. The actual unit price is around $US 50 cents. After shipping, tax, and wire xfer fees, you're looking at about $1.00/ea - assuming you buy at least 160 pieces. The more you buy, the less the shipping and fees matter.

Don't specifically talk about bingo's unless you need to. While I assume that selling parts for these games falls under the 25 year rule for most states gambling device laws, it's not really clear whether selling parts for these machines is legal. Avoid the issue by not talking about it.

Ball lift motor original manufacturer I haven't talked with them in a couple years, but I sent them a bad ball lift motor and they repaired it and sent it back for about $20.
Multiproducts

(262)554-3700
Multiproducts, which made a bunch of the bingo motors, is also in Racine. One of your fellow bingo loonies gave them a call, and they said this:

"That is our model 302.Its 115vac and 19 rpm cw rotation.If your looking to buy one it is $80.00 and 7-10 working days to make. We take visa or master card or can ship UPS COD. Give us a call if you need one or if you have any further questions."

In addition, they use Mobil grease in the motor gearbox. Keep in mind that there was a couple different shaft diameters on the motors, so you may want to double check that.

A recent query (2003) from a guy in australia is not good. The response was 25 pieces minimum. Also, the late model motor (E-119-462 with the rectangular gearbox) is 23 RPM... 25RPM if you are running 50 cycles. Does it matter? Not really. Payout is faster :-)

A talk at pinball expo in 2008 by mark patzke, the president of multiproducts, produced the following:

  • for gearboxes, use magnalube
  • for the sleeve bearings (the brass oil tubes), use 3-in-1 motor oil (blue can...not the red can!) or other teflon impregnated oil
