    Does anybody know where to get mid-70s Williams EM side rails?

    I see late 80s Williams and Bally which could kind of work. The problem is the size and design of the flipper button hole. Williams used a smaller folded over hole rather than just a cut opening in the side rail (see photo). I guess I could use the later style side rail but would have to drill the cabinet out to use a modern style flipper button. Not sure it would look right though.

    Yeah I have a feeling this is what I'm going to have to go with and run a modern flipper button.

    It's for Satin Doll but any Williams EM side rail from the 70s or early 80s will work until they changed the flipper button hole design.

    Still looking for a good set of Williams 70s EM side rails.
