Putting my rollergames back together and replacing everything that needs it. My ramp diverter has been hacked together and I am trying to get it back to a working like new state. I understand there was two diverter setups. Both seem to use the bracket/stop with the part number B-13488. it has an extra long stop nub and its not available anywhere that I can find. Where is everyone finding this stop or is there a mod to use a different one?

My drive link was not too bad but i noticed on the updated version of this assembly the drive link piece is replaced with "plunger assembly" this is the drive link with attached plunger. I did find someone on ebay who made these and ordered their last one but it hasnt arrived yet.

This is what i got off ebay, has plunger and spring attached.This is what i got off ebay, has plunger and spring attached.

I am wondering if the plunger is longer to make up for a shorter stop or do I still need to find the long stop?

Also I am wondering the name or part number for the little nubs that the small e-clips connect to. In the below photo i marked it with a green arrow. The diagrams fail to list this part. It seems like I need another one for the right side maybe? Once I get the new piece from ebay I mean. Since on my hacked version its a flipper plunger attached with a long ass bolt.

Current hacked assembly. worked before i took it apart. seems to work still but I havent put it back in the game. I want something reliableCurrent hacked assembly. worked before i took it apart. seems to work still but I havent put it back in the game. I want something reliable

The service bulletin also mentions revision to the bracket, can't find that either or what was changed. Also says to change the coil. Why?

I did read this post last week, there was no mention of the coil stop that is used in the new or assembly that seems to be out of stock everywhere. I was going to order that drive link but as I stated in my post I found a supposedly stronger one with the plunger already attached on ebay.

Since coil stops wear out I figured somebody has to know where to get them or a way to modify it to work with another stop.

The best advice I can give on an RG is to reach out to John Wart directly - he is the hands down RG expert on Pinside - if he doesn't have an answer - there is none.....

Thanks Sonic, I will reach out to him

I am looking for the following parts for sure. If anyone knows where I can get them or has some for sale let me know.

A-13491 - Drive arm assembly. As you can see from my photos someone drilled out one of the arms to put a bolt throught it.

B-13488 - coil stop, as you can see in my photos mine has been welded back together.

Yes it is out of stock though and has been for as long as I have been looking. That is what I need.

I'm also trying to redo my diverter setup. Going with the original design is kind of a bust. Any help is appreciated. I have the 26-1200 coil, and it seems like the plunger is stretched out so far it's barely hanging on. Poor design.
