Bally SS Fireball (Bally, 1976) Intermittent issues

[Bigmac03]

Hello, I am new to this group so if I am doing anything wrong, please inform me. I have a 1976 Bali fireball pinball machine. Everything has been working perfect but now everything seems weak lights, flippers, bumpers, etc. also when you cut the main power on and hit the start button it wants to try to play three players and the lights are very dim like I may have a power supply issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome
I tend to agree with you that the power supply might need service. The electrolytic capacitors could be bad or leaky allowing AC to interfere on the DC outputs. Replace capacitors , inspect and clean edge connectors.
The pinball database has a lot of info on this Bally non commercial home use machine.

Is there anyone available that could tell me where I could get a power supply for this unit?

If you check this videos page, the person says...
If you would like to get your power supply rebuilt message me

Also scroll down to the comments, someone asks about someone who rebuilds these power supplys.
The comment is from 9 months ago. Can't hurt to try.
