I have an old game that is pretty beat up and missing the little cue stick and the part that strikes the Cue ball on upper playfield. Need help with the repair and where to get parts? Also the targets that the ball hits do not work. Please help

The cue does not strike the ball, rather a coil fired plunger does. On the cue ball wizard I had, the welds holding the support for the cue had broken and I had to replace the plunger. Not sure where I would look for a cue, maybe start with pbresource, but I imagine you might have to make a replacement. As for the targets have you started any basic troubleshooting yet?
The plunger is broken or missing part and the wood cue. I’m just starting to learn about Pinball machines so troubleshooting is all new to me. Really looking for places that sell the replacement parts for the game and hope to learn as I go basic repair. Thanks

I'd suggest you post a wanted message here and search Ebay. The cue itself woul dbe easy to make-- it's nothing more than a painted, tapered piece of wood.
The plunger was available from pbresouce as of last year. As for trouble shooting the switches start by reading up on the repair secions on pinwiki. Will get you pretty far down the road. The real catch is make sure you are looking at the gottlieb system 3 information as they use a special type of switch.
