Is anyone parting out a Stargate? I'm looking for the metal pyramid insert part#30730.This is the brass plated piece that sticks out under the plastic pyramid. Let me know if you have one to sell.

Is anyone parting out a Stargate? I'm looking for the metal pyramid insert part#30730.This is the brass plated piece that sticks out under the plastic pyramid. Let me know if you have one to sell.
Quoted from RTS:Did you read either my post or the linked thread?
I said post #10 mentions to simply change the coil stop, exactly the same as you are saying.
But it also provided the answer to the specific question about coll part numbers. Which is why I copied it.
However, I didn't know it just was the same coil stop as on Sys 1 games, so that is good info.
I spoke with Steve Young today about the "special flipper stops". He said there is no such animal. He modified a few stops for someone who was relentless in requesting this modification. He said he has no time or desire to make these again. As for the System one stops. He said they don't work! They look like they will but they won't. So unless someone wants to make a modified part to sell on their own, we're stuck using the original System 3 style stops.
I'd be in for two sets of a modified stop. Any makers out there?
Quoted from arcademojo:Verified today that it is a #10 drill bit used to opening up the system 1 coil stop mounting holes to work on a system 3 game.
And to remind anyone doing this to readjust the EOS switches to 1/8 inch after installation.
Someone stated in a previous post to just ask for the "special" stops for this game. My post was an attempt to let anyone else searching for a solution to this flipper modification know there is no such thing. Ask for the system one flipper stops.
I also posted those stops will not fit as is without modification . Some people might not have access to the tools to modify the stops.
As you say they can fit with modification. Steve said the system 1 and 3 stops are the same gauge steel. He points out the stops are silver and not black like those on Stargate. Doesn't matter to me, nobody looks under the field anyway. I'm interested in improving the feel of the game.
He did say a third hole will need to be drilled as there is only two on the system one stops. I would think that is a matter of preference. Two might be sufficient.
Again just sharing what Steve thought was important to note about doing this conversion.
Thanks for making myself and others aware of this modification.

These look good! I'd like to see them installed in a game. It looks like the ramps would block the artwork near the top of the blades.
