I got my first machine in 1982 when I was 13 years old. It was a Stern Meteor that my parents bought me for Christmas and fortunately played great and needed nothing. In 1996 I bought my current machine, a Williams Comet. I lived in the SF bay area and after I bought it I used to go to "For Amusement Only" in Berkeley. It was in a large old Victorian house and was a junkyard of pins. They had every little nut screw and bracket I would need and often times pulled parts out of the machines, packed inside that old house.

Now I need a few drop target parts for my "dunk the dummy" on my Comet and am having a hard time finding them even though I've searched high and low. I'm not opposed to buying the few parts I need NEW but I can't find a parts breakdown to properly ID the parts I need. Is there a "go too" pinball "junkyard" or a particular person I should contact for parts like that? I know I can post a wanted ad here and I will but is there someone or someplace that is a "go too" for small misc bracketry etc. I might need in the future?

The parts I need currently are an upper drop target coil mount, and a plunger stop plate. I know these must have been used on several Williams pins of that era. If anybody has a lead on a parts breakdown I would greatly appreciate it, or someone who deals in small stupid little parts I might need in the future. I know somebody has them, I just can't find those people!

Thanks, Bub

Thanks for the response Rdoyle. It's amazing how hard it is to find a lot of pinball stuff online, like exploded parts views. Like I said I'm not opposed to buying new parts, just need to ID the stuff I need. If I find someone I will definitely let you know!

I don't even need a "raid". Just 2 drop target pieces! I'd buy a whole drop target to get them but I can't find em. I do have the manual for the machine but it has no parts break down or part numbers.

Thanks for all the responses and suggestions. The manual Ronaldraygun posted is the same one I have. I don't know how I thumbed through that and missed the parts break down for the drop target assembly. Feeling pretty stupid about that. I had a spare playfield that I got rid of when I moved about 7 years ago. I stripped the top side and sold it and thought I was being smart. Feeling pretty stupid about that as well. I just looked up the parts I need on Marco and one of them I was wondering about previously is one that I need. I found the other parts as well.

I've been a member here for a while but never been very active as my Comet has been down for a while. We finally got the GI working recently after 23 years of not working. I've got new Freeplay40 ramps for it. Rebuilding pop bumpers and the drop target assembly should have me up and flipping again! I need to get into the Comet thread as well.

Thanks again you guys, Pinside rocks!
