Quoted from trecemaneras:

...
Does anyone know what is missing from the mechanism so the plunger doesn't get launched out of the solenoid?

Plunger with an end on it. Maybe a spring too, like on a slingshot plunger.

And there should probably be a rubber bumper of some sort in that hole at the bottom of the bracket.

Just in case anyone is thinking about putting pool balls in the rack - they are 1-1/4" balls (a.k.a. 32mm).

The balls will be in order when they drop, then they get served up starting with #12. If you like how they look posed, take a picture because the odds of them ever lining up again make the lottery look like a sure thing.

The odds are even higher for my game because I took out 13 red balls and put in 1 - 12 and the cue ball.

The pool balls are fun and colorful. That they don't stay orderly is not a big issue here. If I want to see pool balls in order there's always Bank-A-Ball.
