Big Guns
Williams, 1987Restoring a Big Guns. Everything is back together except for 5 extra screws. They are identical and about 1/2" long phillips head. For the life of me I can't remember where they came from? See picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Or maybe on the top playfield on the sides where plastics screw into the wood ?
Techs at arcades like to leave extra / broken hardware in the machine. It's possible it's just left over. The speaker and playfield track can hide a lot of hardware.
They came off the playfield as I stripped it and put all the nuts and screws in the parts holder. After putting it all back together they were left over. I took them off of the playfield just have no idea what they came off of? Everything is back in place with every screw holding parts down. Just these are a mystery.

Jah. And you looked on the edges of the playfield where plastics go, aye ? Where they screw into the wood ?
Look at the tip. Rusted, meaning it was poking out somewhere possibly.
