Quoted from whona:

I am in the need of several parts for my Dr Who Pinball machine, but I am not certain of the proper name for the parts I need.
1. The flasher bulb that goes beneath the raised plastic at the E-S-C-A-P-E area is larger than just about any other bulb in the machine. What size is this bulb and what is it's correct part number? No bulb was ever included, so I don't have a dead one to compare.
2. My "7" just in front of the mini-playfield has NO lighting assembly at all. What parts do I need to install to get this to work?
3. There is a plastic connector that handles the 5 lights running from 500 to Special, but 500 has trouble lighting and it appears to be related to the plastic connector. What is this part number?
4. There are two tiny holes beneath the main flippers. Were there supposed to be posts located there?
5. What is the correct size for the white small round rubber parts on the front posts of the mini playfield when it is up fully?
I appreciate the help tracing down these parts!

Quoted from whona:

Re: 2, There is a board under the playfield. But there is no bulb corresponding to the clear "7" beneath the playfield. All the bulbs in the board correspond solely to the time expansion factor lights. My only guess is there is supposed to be an actual socket or something that is entirely missing in this location.
Re: 3, the light works when you pull the wire in one direction only. As soon as you let go, it gets dim and stops working... where would a cold solder apply on this one?
Re: 5, is this the right part: #38-2364 White mini-post rubber with 23/64" or 3/8" Outer Diameter

Quoted from whona:

I have just about completely repaired my Dr Who Pinball machine, but it is telling me my left sling is not working. Played it and there is no kickback from the front left bumper when a ball hits it (I am assuming this is the left sling error I received). Is this probably a bad solder somewhere, or should I consider something else?
Also, my 5 little gray target bumpers on the Time Expander are UGLY. Should I repaint them? What paint would survive a pinball game?

Quoted from whona:

Got it... I went under the pinball machine and pryed the culprit back just a bit so it was no longer registering as "always on."
Can anyone tell me what the special screwdriver head is that is required to remove the protective cover from the Dalek on the top of the cabinet? I need to pick one up and it looks something like a hex with a recess in the middle.
