Games, the
Gottlieb, 1984Picked up a nice The Games pin that has an issue with the outhole kicker. The white bushing in the picture is worn and loose. The coil can't push the ball into play. Can anyone ID the bushing? I called PBR, but they sent a bushing that was too big. To their credit, I didn't send this picture. I was hoping to ID it before calling back. Thanks.

Steve,
I doubt that the bushing is the primary cause of the problem.
Remove the plunger and shine it up with very fine sandpaper. Make sure it isn't "mushroomed" at the end.
Install a new coil sleeve.
Make sure the pivot points move freely.
No lube necessary or advised.

I agree with Chris, you should be able to clean it up without replacement.
