Contemplating a clean looking but apparently not fully working Spanish Eyes. Haven’t seen it in person but a pic of the door shows missing hardware / no harness.

I could probably live with it as is since I’d just put it on free play anyway. But I know I’d prefer it to be complete.
Anyone have the missing parts? PM if so - I may not buy it but would like to have an idea of cost should I get it and want to replace it.
Would this be a case where finding a complete door with harness might be easier / cheaper?

Ebay is a great source for parts Williams 1976 Space Mission pinball machine coin door $60 plus shipping. Or you can wait for one of the better flea markets, Allentown in May.

Weird. I did a quick look on EBay a day or two ago and didn’t see that one. $100 or so was what I was expecting and not too bad for what would basically be a plug and play solution.

Chasing an 'automatic ball shooter gate' - these were used on a small amount of Gottlieb games that were made just for Italy.
The game they were used on:
Hit a Card (King of Diamonds) 1967
Solitaire (Sing a Long) 1967
Sea Side (Surf Side) 1968
Elite Guard (Royal Guard ) 1968
Fun Fair/Tivoli (Fun Land) 1968
Big Jack (Paul Bunyan) ) 1968
Grande Domino (Domino) 1968
Hi Lo (Spin a Card) 1969
Bumper Pool (Target Pool) 1969
I'm doing a full restoration on a Grande Domino, the entire unit is missing, though I can remake all the mechs etc for under the playfield.
So I'm after the ball deflection gate that sits under the score card apron. see last photo for the part needed.
If anybody can help please contact me. I even tried Steve Young and he said 'that's a first, nobody has ever asked me about that before'

Yeah, I've only ever seen one example of that arrangement here in all my years around pinball machines. It was a "Solitaire" body only at the Pinfest flea market a few years back.

Funny that you are putting the US replay versions of these games' names in parentheses. They are actually much more similar to the American add-a-ball models.
Both "Hit a Card", and "Solitaire" are export versions of "Diamond Jack". "Harmony", and "Troubadour" are export versions of "Melody".

it's such an awesome feature. have a fun fair with this and its one of the coolest things when the ball shoots back up the playfield to the right through the spinner.

yep agree. decided to list the more common/better known gottlieb pins that are similar

The only game I ever owned with this feature was a Bally "King Rex". I didn't have the game very long though.
Quoted from undrdog:Twin Win shoots the ball up the middle.
There are several domestic games which shoot the ball from the drain area, but the player presses a button to launch it.
The Italian export games had a plunger as did their US counterparts, but did not allow the player to manually shoot extra balls. The manufacturers devised a mechanism whereby the extra balls were diverted to a device which automatically kicked the ball back into play, without any action by the player. This was done to conform to local regulations, similar to the reason add-a-ball games were made for certain US states and localities.

I'm really intrigued by this mech. Great design that could somewhat easily be integrated into most later model EMs.
Contemplating the rule effect on many single player machines, where AAB/shoot again plunges might otherwise be over-powered, or a kick to the flippers is more favourable.
Quoted from mrm_4:Anyone have an extra or know where to find one of the rods that hood the chime bars down on a Williams chime unit?
I really don’t want to make one out of a coat hanger.

See if K&S metals has brass/copper rods.
Not really a part but, since the want ad I posted hasn’t yielded any results I thought a
I would try here.

I looking for an original advertising/ promotional flyer for a 1965 Gottlieb Bank a Ball. If you have one your willing to part with, shoot me. PM.
Thanks,
Phil
Quoted from vec-tor:See if K&S metals has brass/copper rods.
If it’s just copper then I guess the bare ground wire from a 12 gauge roll will work. Never mind guys this looks pretty nice!

Yep. 
Is this the part you need?

I am pretty sure that I have that original flyer. I will message you.

Yep that’s it! I ended up just making the 3 pictured above but good to know that Marco has them for future reference.
1/16th inch steel rod is available in 36” lengths at welding supply shops. Also, brass.
Might be able to get a piece or two w/o having to buy it by the pound.
Looking for a Bally bell assembly.
It's in the light box of many games of the era. This one is for a "The Wiggler". Not for me, but for a very well known and beloved estranged Pinsider who has asked me to post for him.
He's also looking for a backbox door for the same game.
Screenshot_2022-11-02-20-33-55-1 (resized).pngI'm in need of an abundance of coin mech screw/nubs so that I can get my coin mechs in my game. Does anybody have a hoard of them they're not using or a bunch they'd sell? Part number 42-0125-01
Game : 1976 Williams Grand Prix
Looking for a “10-90” unit (player one preferred, looks like player one and two are similar ??). Need the full mechanism with Bakelite type plate with solder tabs (colored wires attached would even be better!!)
If you also have a photo of the wiring that would also be helpful.
See what we found upon getting the game home and inspected. Ugh.

actually better match...
Looking for a Player Unit Wiper Assembly (B-12566) for my Royal Flush. Mine is cracked in half and I'm missing the other piece.
EM newb and I didnt notice it was broken until the game was home 
Don't be scared off by the German location...this part can be shipped to a family member in the USA. Thanks!!
Quoted from DuffysArcade:Mine is cracked in half and I'm missing the other piece.
That mishap is caused by opening the back wood frame...
The wiper would get crushed by the metal "U" bracket..
If you are going to open the back wood frame, make sure the
wiper assembly is horizontal... NOT vertical.
