The EM seeking parts thread.

Quoted from Pin-Pilot:
Smart Set was the first pin I bought. The one I got was outside for over 10 years. Cabinet was trashed but I was able to get the pin up and running 100%. Fun game. That one looks in great shape!
I may have a score reel plate. I will look tomorrow and let you know.

thanks, yea 1 of the 4 straps is broken off

I checked my parts and do not have any of the plates. To make sure, you need the bottom plate that holds all the score reels correct? You may have to fabricate one and rivet it in place.

Sorry

Quoted from MarkG:
In the short term you might be able to rearrange the switch stacks to use the undamaged slots in the actuator. That may require new or different switch stack screws and/or spacers but it wouldn't be a hard thing to do.

Doesn’t look like that’s an option because 6 of the 8 slots get used and 3 of them are cooked.

Quoted from PinballAir:
Since only one side is burned, can you just invert it?
It looks like there is only one switch stack using only one side and that side is burned.

Don’t think it’s going to work that way. I need 2 good slots in succession and as you can see there are 3 in a row that are burnt/broken and there are 6 switches that go into the actuator. You can also see that some hack glued a couple of piece of metal into the broken slots to close the gap.

It’s a wonder a bigger disaster didn’t happen. I think I can use your actuator. It measures the same in length although the width is different. I think it may work. Sending a pm. Thanks

I was thinking... Maybe you can make a silicone mold and make a resin cast off of a good part.
Or, you can clean the part and use epoxy to fix the damaged areas.

Looking for a coin door to an early 60s/late 50s Williams machine. Here is the one have. I could probably repaint this but the coin mech holders are rusted solid to the door and can’t get them off without destroying them. If you only have the coin mech holders or a really bent door but not rusty I’d be interested in that too

I'm looking for the rubber stop for a mechanical ball lifter. The game is 1957 Wms bingo type machine (Hi-Hand), but I'm guessing it is a pretty universal part. PBR said they don't have them and I don't see it at Marco's website.

You should be able to get the screws at Home Depot or Lowes, just take an example with you. The white parts that you are referring to are called lane guides or rollover guides. I’d order a rubber ring kit and maybe pop bumper caps. I suggest ordering from Pinball Resource as you’re looking for em parts. Did your game include a copy of the schematics? If not you can order one? This era of pin didn’t come with a manual.

Home depot doesn’t have those screws. Get me the length of the screw and the how many you need and I’ll send them to you for the price of postage. The lane guides available from pbresource are new reproductions and don’t quite match so you my need to order a whole new set. As for the graffiti guy .. can’t help there

Need the rubber stops 23-6313. Also, need a new spring, but can probably get that anywhere.

You can fix that one. Sister it up with glue or tape along the shaft. These are $30 a pop

Another way to fix these is to slide some cut to shape plastic from another dead ball and melt the pieces together around the rivets using a small tipped soldering iron

FYI: Actually the balls Steve has are a slight bit off white and often match well. 1 and 15 are indeed the best selling but surprisingly 2 doesn’t sell very well but 3 are in demand
