Quoted from RobertG:As an alternative You should be able to pick up a rivet tool kiit for under $20 at Lowes or Home Depor if you want to do it yourself.
I don't think they carry the correct kind of rivet tool at those stores. Pins use tubular rivets, not pop rivets.
If you only need to do a couple I have had success with a large flat head punch and hammer. Just be careful not to slip or over drive rivet
This works well too

Quoted from stephenshane237:those or only for pop rivets I believe not for flat pinball rivets like used in willams games
Ok I don't know if it matters though. I've always used pop rivets on the games I've needed to rivet (such as CFTBL snackbar and WCS inlane).

It might *fit* and it might *work*, but if you want original appearance, you'll use the right tools and parts.
I have riveting tools in Indiana, I'm 90 minutes from Cincinnati, to the West
