Quoted from ickus305:I just recently picked up a Punchy the Clown. After some elbow grease the playfield looks amazing and the cabinet is a little beat up(it was on route). Cleaned the inside of the cabinet and found some corrosion but nothing major.
My last steps are to figure out a few not working lights and to repair the flippers. I ordered a manual but in my searching am not finding any flipper parts. The coils are good, the bats are fine, but I need new links and plungers. Any help to find the parts would be greatly appreciated.
Congrats on picking up the game. It's a nice little rarity. Which cabinet version do you have? Even though there were only 103 of these made they still managed to have 2 different setups.... some with the start button on the left and the ticket dispenser on the upper right, and some with the start button on the right and the ticket dispenser on the lower right. If you wouldn't mind, please let me know the serial number so I can add it to my Alvin G log book. Thanks!
On to your question here.... Unfortunately, most flipper parts are basically impossible to find. Coils, bats, and bushings can still be found here and there, but plunger/links, pawls, base plates, and coil stops are NLA unless someone digs some up in a parts stash. (The LAP-002 plungers out there are not for flippers!) Since you're just needing the plunger/links though, you can get by with a Williams A-15847 or A-10656 plunger/link. The link will have to be modified a bit for it to work, but all it will require is that you need to sand down the link just a tiny bit to make it thin enough to sit on the pawl and get the e-clip on. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions on this.
