Quoted from phillyfan64:

I need 6 of them. They are for the apron. I think the 1-3/4” would be better if you have them. Thanks!
Do you have any with the washer heads? I need about 24 of those in 1-1/2” for the plastics.

The only washerhead I have is the phillips Steve sells. shoot my your address

Hi,

Does anyone have a pair (right / Left) mid 70's Gottlieb flipper pawls (roll pin style) and screws? I know PBR sells replacements, but I'd rather have originals.

Like everyone else, looks like you are going to have to have the parts made.
Laser cutting and raw metal material... If you can have cad files made of the
part, you can shop around to see if someone can give you a break on the costs.

The other way is to buy the thick fingers and replace both the barrel and the finger. Drill out the old one and put in the newer one with the wider slot. Yes, I have done this. It was a PITA, but less so than having custom parts made.

I am interested in buying the plastic coin trays that were use in Gottlieb and Bally EM machines in the mid 60s to early 70s, to separate the nickels, dimes and quarters. I'm also interested in buying original score cards for Sing Along or other games from the mid to late 1960s.

Does anyone know the part number for this small plastic piece from Atlantis (circled in red)? There are five of them and they support the clear plastic piece that is below the top right plastic at the top of the bagatelle lane. I'm replacing all my posts and tried to order it from PBR. I described the part to Steve, but he said it was GTB A14487 & A14488. I explained to him that that is the two-piece part that goes on El Dorado and Abra Ca Dabra, but is not the same as the piece on Atlantis. He said he had no idea what I was talking about or what the part would be.

I was wondering if a previous owner of my Atlantic had substituted that plastic part, but every example of the game I've seen online seems to have the same part as my machine. And I'm certain it is not GTB A14487 or A14488. Any ideas?

You can use those splitt posts or just go to HomeDepot and get the nylon spaces in the correct size... dont argue with the Steve

#9184 1 year ago

Haha! I wasn't arguing with him! I told him I wanted the part but didn't have the number. I described it and he said "Oh, that's A14487 and A14488." I said, "Actually, it's not that part. Those are tapered and these are not." He said he had no idea what I was talking about and I immediately dropped it.

I don't think you can use the split posts. The top is too short and the bottom has the piece that sticks up and connects to the top piece. And the Atlantis piece requires a washer to sit on top - to hold down the clear plastic.

I'll try Home Depot, or see if I can just bleach my yellowed posts. But I was curious to learn if my Atlantis is unique or if all of them have the same part - a mystery part that Gottlieb only made for this game.

#9185 1 year ago

Although Steve may be a little "stern" at times, he's usually always right. Are you sure that the split posts won't work?

Anybody need any or all of the plastics for a Gottlieb Jacks Open/Lucky Hand, let me know.

They cleaned up nice but the lower left plastic does have a chunk missing. The only other blemish is the big plastic behind the drop targets has a tiny crack but hardly noticeable. I figured I go all out on this restoration of a Lucky Hand so I ordered new plastics.

Mine has the same parts as yours. Just spacers. And I know for a fact mine are original. The split version works where there is no connection to the art plastic above it. You could use some of those for that purpose on this specific guide plastic but not for all of them.

It is possible the Gottlieb ran out of the double nylon post or one part of the two part post setup.
Thus, the factory assembly line had to improvise.

MikeO - Thanks! So at least now I know I'm not crazy! From what I can tell, Atlantis was the first Gottlieb game that used that clear plastic piece below the upper plastic - to create a lane for the ball. Atlantis was released in January 1975. Top Score/300 (released in August 1975) also had a bagatelle on the right side, but from what I can see in photos of that online, it appears to use the combination of A14487 and A14488 - at least in the spots where there are screws.

El Dorado and Abra Ca Dabra (both 1975) also use the A14487 and A14488 combination, but again, those both have screws going down through the connected parts.

You can't use A14487 or A14488 for Atlantis. The top piece is too short and the bottom piece is too tall - plus there's no way to get the screw and washer onto the bottom piece without cutting of the section that fits into top piece.

I can use the ones I have - they are functional, just yellowed. Frankly, I was more interested in solving the mystery of that piece. I suspect that Gottlieb used those spacers with screws and washers for Atlantis, then discovered a better system - the A14487 and A14488 combination.

Just to finish this off: I emailed my order to Jimmy at PBR yesterday with a photo of spacers in Atlantis (that I posted above), but got an automatic response that they weren't accepting email orders. So I called Steve and placed the order by phone. He said Jimmy was sick, which is why they weren't accepting email orders.

This morning, I received an email from Jimmy - he said my order was complete except "we don't offer those plastic spacers A-5626." So apparently those spacers are/were an official Gottlieb part, although they are not listed under "Plastic Posts" in the Gottlieb 1978 Parts Catalog.

Have a Mibs PF with some underside still intact.

I figure before I part it out and hang it, I'd see if anyone could particularly use it as-is, or really needed something from it. LMK.
