I would use an oval head machine screw that will fit through the hole in the apron matched with a finishing washer and t-nut of the matching sizes.

The washer you are looking for is called a finishing washer.

Home Depot stocks both the oval head machines screws -- length may be a problem for the size, and finishing washers. I would go with stainless steel versions.

I bought stainless finishing washers at the local Ace hardware store. I'll send you a picture of the original screw when I get home. The length of the screw is 2 5/8" (from the bottom of the fluted head). It is a slotted screw as opposed to a phillips.

The trick is knowing what to ask for. I have a problem obtaining the slotted oval head screws. Philips oval head everywhere, but slotted oval heads difficult to find.

Only for originality purposes.

Seems you have a source to find Classic Sterns .. I'm looking for Meteor and Flight2000 for ages,; no more sterns here

Waitin pictures !

Lionel (lb45):
not to derail, I know of someone selling a flight 2000 which was recently restored (new CPR playfield, backglass and playfield plastics) as well as being completely shopped out.

if you're interested, I would be happy to give him your contact information to try and arrange a deal. I'm just not sure what would be involved in trying to export it from here in the states to france.

Hi j_m_

Thanks for your help, but i'm afraid about the price ;

You can't ignore the difference about the price between us and France markets, the difficulty due to the exchange Dollar/Euro rate, and the shipping cost.

For example, i bought my quicksilver 125 Euros , my Stargazer 400 . just added an Altek board, on some new parts.
Hard to believe i'm sure from your opposite location.

I'll continue to look for the machine in France . Longer the research, better the news when i found the machine.

Thanks again to you !
