IJ (resized).jpg
#1 1 year ago

Someone knows what spacer is missing under this plastic at the right orbit of the playfield on a IJ (WMS)?
I have two IJ and the spacer is missing on both.
There is a small hole for a screw in the playfield beneath the hole in the plastic but it does not look like it was ever used.

I have looked through the internet for "Indiana Jones playfield restoration" but this post/plastic stand is not seen on any pictures... strange.
I wonder if this was never mounted from factory.

Yes I thought the same thing ,I thought it was never put it because even where the screw in post screws in was never used

Williams reference #03-8371

I don’t believe it was ever installed at the factory

I’ve noticed a lot of this on many swaps. Sometimes it seems obvious that maybe it’s hard to access on location but other times like this it seems like there’s no excuse.

Mine doesn’t have it either BTW.

Nope, my unrestored IJ is missing it too. Oh well.

Ya I think it got missed with all of them ,the upper left side has it there so I did the same on the right and it worked well it's the same parts needed

Could be omitted on purpose … probably put in there during the design phase then realized they don’t really need it because the piece is stable without it…

Or put the hole in the plastic but omitted the playfield pre-punch…

Or could have been an oversight during the assembly process…

either way … I wouldn’t let it keep you up at night

There IS a prepunch hole in the playfield but what I have heard now is that it was only installed on the early ones.
I guess WMS had to save money wherever they could
