the spinners are going to be damn near impossible to find unless you find another that is parted out.

is it a optical spinner? Spinners on orbitor, have an opto and a clear plastic disc with black marks printed on it. So when the ball hits the spinner, it slows down ever so slightly and the game can acknowledge it and score the points.

yes. I ment the bumpers. Forgot about the basic spinner, which is just a basic spinner.

the wiring harness in hand would have been the deciding factor before even attempting this project.

that outhole actually looks really good. I was going to design a pvc insert for the hole, that was beveled at the top to absorb the shock damage from the ball and allow a smooth transition to the metal guide. make groves on the bottom end to fit the ball drain rails, and a tunnel arch to let the ball roll to the shooter lane. Bevel the top rim at a 45 degree angle and flush with the playfield surface.

I could use a new bubble BG if you have one. Mine has a big deep scratch in it.

if I ever get my ass motivated and put on the plastics set I bought for mine, you can have all my old plastics.

i'll try and give you some pics, but they way the playfield is in a metal cage, makes it hard to get clear shots of anything.
