    Quoted from nosro:

    I'll add another: the Theatre of Magic trunk motor

    There's a few left for $400+ on E-bay, but Judge Dredds planet motor is long obsolete.

    #52 10 years ago

    Lots of parts for party zone

    #53 10 years ago

    Shocked this was not posted.

    -SS spider pointer
    -SS spider
    -SS in between art not the trans-lite the art behind that?
    -SS pop bumper caps (the replacement is a darker blue)

    I have a backup pointer and spider...

    EATPM playfield, ramps, translite...........

    #61 10 years ago

    JM - plastics and translite.

    #62 10 years ago

    Shadow Rings
    GNR R ramp

    #63 10 years ago

    The flipper opto board mount used on fliptronic 2 games. Never was able to find one for my DW. Did not think it would have been hard to find considering how many games it was used for.

    #64 10 years ago

    Stargate playfields.

    #65 10 years ago
    Quoted from nosro:

    The gear box, yes.

    But the motor is readily available.

    #66 10 years ago
    Quoted from PennSkier:

    Not for ME - but in another thread, someone was looking for replacement parts for the little plastic village in Williams Fire!

    These can be replaced with similar train set villages.

    #67 10 years ago

    It's not IMPERATIVE to have, but the motor for the spinning back glass on Black Hole.
    You have to order three separate things and modify one of them to make it happen.

    #68 10 years ago
    Quoted from mwong168:

    3) NuCore computer for P2K titles are no longer being sold or made?

    Wasn't this because NuCore could not work out an agreement with the license holders?

    #69 10 years ago

    I had a hell of a time finding a spider pointer for SS

    #70 10 years ago

    Ball Guides for Monster Bash and Wire Form Ramps for it also....I need these bad!

    #71 10 years ago
    Quoted from bluevegas:

    I had a hell of a time finding a spider pointer for SS

    Thought the Todd-meister found you one??

    Not a pinball, but try to find the rubber clown head for a 61 midway deluxe shooting gallery! IMPOSSIBLE.

    #72 10 years ago

    Not sure if this counts as popular, but ramps for Data East games. Two years to find a WWF ramp. The trade off with DE games is they are affordable, but if something breaks, good luck finding a replacement.

    #73 10 years ago

    Guns and Roses playfield
    Strange Science playfield (really would like one of these )

    #74 10 years ago

    These aren't the most popular titles, but I've read about these parts being hard to locate:

    Batman Forever: Large Green Double Ramp and Shooter Handle

    Lost World: Ball Capture Motor

    #75 10 years ago
    Quoted from dsuperbee:

    Thought the Todd-meister found you one??

    No, I ended up ordering from a guy in Europe

    #76 10 years ago

    Star trek 25th -- ALL ramps.

    #77 10 years ago
    Quoted from Hammerhead1550:

    Stargate playfields.

    Yes +1 on SG playfields

    #78 10 years ago
    Quoted from Craig:

    Clear plastic ramps for both Comet and Cyclone. Cycle jump for Comet.

    Comet and cycle ramps for the "Comet". Comet ramp for the "Cyclone". Please, someone start to make these please!!!

    #79 10 years ago
    Quoted from nosro:

    For example, Creature from the Black Lagoon has the hologram.

    New CFTBL holograms are available. Gene Cunningham of Illinois Pin Ball remade them (different than the ones he made before). He had a big stack of them at the Texas Pinball Festival. $200 each.

    Quoted from Ed_in_Texas:

    New CFTBL holograms are available. Gene Cunningham of Illinois Pin Ball remade them (different than the ones he made before). He had a big stack of them at the Texas Pinball Festival. $200 each.

    Are these static or do they move?

    #81 10 years ago
    Quoted from LTG:

    Base for largest tower in Medieval Madness.
    LTG : )

    Go to any sheet metal shop with the dimensions and they will make one for you.

    I gave away my last two for restorations.

    I believe they are lenticulars and not holograms. Someone posted pics in the CFTBL hologram thread.

    SOF could use some parts love. Right now the only part I want that i cannot find is translite. However, if my ramps, or wire guides were to break I would be SOL. Wouldn't mind being able to get a repo playfield, upper and lower. Mine is not in bad shape, but would be nice to have the option to get a minty one.

    #84 10 years ago
    Quoted from starbase:

    -SS in between art not the trans-lite the art behind that?

    Backbox art impossible at this time. I had to get one made myself.

    #85 10 years ago

    Bally P/N: A-12359-1 51.5" side rails for Atlantis. These rails have no cutouts for the flipper buttons.
    Anyone comes up with some message me, I'm looking for a nice pair with no damage. Mine are dented from the top of the cabinet head being folded down.

    #86 10 years ago

    Plastics for Jurassic Park

    #87 10 years ago

    Banzai run lifter arm and magnet housing, the parts that attach to the lifter.

    Quoted from wayout440:

    Aren't these just standard WPC rails?

    #89 10 years ago
    Quoted from kbliznick:

    Aren't these just standard WPC rails?

    No, the WPCs are A-12359-3 47" rails, the "-1" are 51.5"

    Now that you mentioned it, I wonder if the shorter ones would work and how they might look, if you were to lose that 4.5" at the back, under the backbox. It wouldn't look original back there but might be better that dents on the top. Any opinions on this?

    #90 10 years ago

    Ramps for Hurricane

    #91 10 years ago

    Hurricane lower ramp and dunk the dummy plastic ... Always broken, but no suppliers.

    All still available, but if you want one new, you may want to hurry.

    The smaller DMD's (128x16) for Data East Games. I could use a new one, only the glass is available. I do have a new repo rope light for ST25 that I could add in a trade!

    I accidentally bought a set of the shorter ones, and still toying with whether or not to use them.
    Here's some pics of what they'd look like:

    (note: these are the "raw" set from PL... my complete bad on the wrong size; not Terry's. I was thinking I was eventually going to get them powder coated a deep red.)

    1. Open the old gear box, clean & lubricate the gears.

    2. Get on the phone and order the little motor from Steve Young for about $5.

    You're welcome!

    Thanks for that info, and you can't get any better "what if" info than those pics! Thanks, looks like a possibility I will have to think about.

    Just received my stash. Not quite unobtainium but still hard to come by:

    #98 10 years ago

    Look at that one shiny guy up by himself! This picture makes me cringe and want to throw it all in a polisher ASAP.

    #99 10 years ago

    Also, for a second I forgot which thread I was reading... I thought it was the "pay it forward" thread and got excited, then double checked.
