Hello Pinside, I am having an issue with the roulette/skill shot where the black diverter bar stopped working. I noticed the cylinder came out of place so I bought a new diverter plunger spring to reattach it to the drive arm but I'm having a hard time getting it to work.

I am not even sure that I am attaching it correctly. Does anyone happen to have a picture of how the diverter plunger should look to help isolate the issue? Or have any ideas?

[Edit] It looks like the diverter assembly cylinder part should actually be attached to a little bracket to the drive arm but I can't find this part. Any ideas on parts I can get to fix it?

Wow! Thank you so much for the picture! It looks like mine is missing the bracket that the spring attaches to! Do you happen to know what that part is called?

Yes! It looks like the rig is completely wrong, though in searching for the part I need I found a diagram on one of pinball parts sites that have a rig that looks like this for Data East and Sega games, and discontinued bracket, that matches the text in the book but it's not right for this game. I initially thought that the bracket/crank attached broke off.

In the book it looks like the last person who worked on the game labeled the part as the "drive arm assembly hub". I think the part I need is the a-13279 Diverter Crank Arm Assembly though I am worried I'll have to change out the whole rig but hopefully not. Can you tell?

Thank you! Your picture was a huge help! I ordered A-14185 and hopefully it will go smoothly.

I got A-14185 and took off the old crank. The issue I'm having now is that the diverter won't go back to upright position to 'lock' the ball in place the second time you start the roulette wheel. When I loosen the set screw that the diverter crank arm is held on to, the diverter it just ends up popping out the entire diverter plunger at the first start of the roulette wheel. Is it just a delicate balance of tightening the set screw?

The old rig had a screw through the crank attaching it to the diverter, this one is only held together with the crank arm and set screw

It ended up working just fine! I had to really tighten the set screw and then moved the diverter plungers spring around to make sure it gave the right amount of tension. The right tension is the diverter plunger freely moving up and down with hardly any effort

In case anyone needs help with this part of the game in the future I needed the diverter crank arm assembly (a-14185), set screw #10-32 x 1/4 inch, I chose to get a new spring or coil plunger (10-128), and I needed a hex wrench for the set screw that was 3/32.

Thanks all for your help!! Alan_L The close up picture was invaluable!
