The actual title I need this for is OXO, but I would imagine that all the '70s Williams EMs have the same stock.
Specifically it is the inside-door anti-slam switch; it has a blade with a large mass, another blade that is bent, and there is a big fish-paper thing that isolates it from the coin door. I think I know the layup, but I have some extra pieces that makes me unsure. I'm even unsure as to the screws that attach it.
Thanks to all in advance!

I actually have an OXO, I'll try and take picture tonight.
Good on both of you. I also have an OXO (fun game), but seems like you dont need another pic. If you dont have the OG fish paper, I recommend using card stock printed with with little fishies.
Quoted from metalguy:Does anybody know what the coating is on those slam switch bars? And why it’s on there. Everyone I have seen is crusty and rusty
Just galvanized far as I can tell.

Spilled soft drinks are corrosive.
Quoted from gdonovan:Spilled soft drinks are corrosive.
According to the former owner’s grandson, his grandfather passed back in the mid 90’s and the machine had been sitting untouched with no playfield glass in his garage since before then. If true the rest of the machine was in amazing shape (except the backglass) when I snagged it last November.

That deserves to be in a museum - either one for pins or one for materials engineering.
