Hello Pinside Community - I’m new to the forum and I’m asking for any/all assistance. I purchased a Mightymast Star Galaxy pinball game (I realize it’s a toy not a real pinball machine but I could afford a real pinball at this point). Unfortunately the plastic plunger has broken off and I can’t figure out how to take off the fixed plastic piece to replace it with a new plunger. I have removed approximately 30 screws from the underside but nothing seem to loosen the housing device where the plunger is located. Attached are pictures of the housing unit, the underside, the old broken plastic plunger and the new plunger I purchased on Amazon. Again, thank you in advance. (PS. I’ve tried contacted the Mightymast company in the UK but to no avail).

On real pins, the whole playfield can lift up, revealing screws to remove what's called the apron. Then one can access the plunger assembly.

I fear this toy pinball was simply not made to be serviced...

Maybe your best bet would be to drill a hole in the old plunger pieces in order to firmly reattach the end with a screw through the middle, sparingly adding some glue when you tighten it in place. I can't tell if the plunger shaft is hollow; you might need to build it up with something in order to do that.

I think since the instructions have a parts list that shows “control panel”

the manufacturer probably won’t be much help.

I don’t have anything helpful to add but I wish you luck.

Thank you all so much!
