Anyone know of a source or a substitute for the above?
I need them for a '66 machine and they're wider than Gottlieb's twist Siderail nails as well as both of my '71 Ballys. They look to be about the diameter of a flat-style thumbtack.
Thanks.

I saw those and the larger head would work if I had to use them. The OEM ones are 5/16" so I'd like to find some that size. No rush though, I just sent the playfield out to get restored and I've just started stripping paint off the cab. Plenty of time to search...
Thanks again.
thanks.
there are two small screws on each siderail, one at either end that have a small nut securing them. initially i couldn't get any slack using a stout putty knife that i used to remove all the other nails. i then looked inside and saw the small nut holding it tight. not sure what the purpose of these was in this application as opposed to just using the same style siderail nails.
there was no ground wire attached when i removed all 4 of them. should there have been? the game played fine before i tore it down...
