1974 Williams Triple Action

the relay coil z29-1250 has burnt up and come apart and the white plastic switch actuator has broken in half

I found the right coil https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/Z-29-1250

But I have no idea where to find the replacement switch actuator

Thanks,

RussMyers

Quoted from edednedy:

If I had a lock relay with a bad coil. Not to mention a broken actuator. I would just remove the coil and bend the switches closed. You don't really need a lock relay. Game will come on/off when you flip the toggle.
Actually you want to bend the N.O. switches closed and the N.C. switches open. You want the simulate the position of the switches as if the Lock Relay was energized.
I haven't looked at a Triple Action schematic, on some games your Tilt might be affected. Try it and see.

OK, I may try that but this is a buddy's machine, not mine, and I'd like to fix it "the right way" if I can.

Are the plastic actuators available somewhere?

Russ - I might have one. How many slots does it need?

Here it is.
