Looking for a couple 70s era Williams old style flipper bats with the shoe and shaft.

Had this happen:

Yellow preferred, but not picky on color. Would prefer two in order to have them match better, but even a single yellow would do.

Thanks to both of you. Another pinsider, Egyptrus, already wrote and sent one to me though.

Been busy getting married this past weekend - haven't had a chance to even check back in on this thread to say thanks. Sorry for the delay.

Shot in the dark, but would love a left sling plastic for a Gottlieb "Playball". Looks like the add-a-ball "Home Run" uses the same.

Sorry if this isn't an entirely kosher use of the thread, but here's a "what parts to I need?" question instead.

Working on a 1971 Gottlieb Playball. Went to clean switches in the reset bank and realized that the main arm was only connected on one side.
The shoulder bolt on the side closest to the coil is completely missing. No bolt, no washers, no nut - no nothing.
I have no idea how this thing was actually resetting and allowing me to play.

Anyway - here's a picture of the hardware on the side that had it. It's a shoulder bolt, two washers between the arm and frame of the bank, with a nut and lock washer on the inside.

I assume there should be a matching set of hardware on the other side? Silly question perhaps, but I would like to repair this right.

I see that PBR sells the shoulder bolts, but I'm going to feel like an idiot if I have to place a third order this month. Anyone know of a brick and mortar retail source that would carry such a specific bolt?

Silly, but I didn't even think of Ace. Tried a Menards and Home Depot last night with no luck.
Thanks for the pointer.

edit - one trip to Ace later.... Not as pretty - but does the job just fine.

Side note - my check engine light came on on my way home. Sigh.

You can't make this stuff up.

Been having an issue with a particular relay along the side of the motor board. Removed the cotter pin holding it in place and worked on it for a bit. Went to put it back in and dropped the pin. Of course it took a bounce and slid under the motor board out of reach. Grabbed the greatest tool in the history of man - the extending magnet stick thing and began fishing for it.

Got the cotter pin in a few seconds, but thought to myself "It sure felt like I tapped something else under there." Magnet fishing expedition two... and I think you know where this is going.

My Playball has what I have to believe are originals and they’re definitely stickers.

There’s also a PDF that’s easily found online if you want to print your own.

Looking for some help finding a part number to search for or a suitable substitute.

On my replay unit for a Gottlieb Playball - there's a strip of bakelite sandwiched in between the three switches.
When I got the machine, it was on free play, but this had been accomplished by maxing out the credit wheel, and the cranking it some more. The peg that opens the max credit switch had pressed up against the bakelite separator to the point that it cracked and was closing the switch that opens when the replay unit is in the zero position.

Like this.

I've long since cleaned it up and have the machine on free play with the credit wheel at 0. But that bakelite strip is hanging by a thread. No real need to replace it I suppose, but it bugs me a little.

Any idea on where to find a replacement? Looked through a load of PBR pages but didn't see what I was looking for. Or is this a "Just give Steve a call and he'll sort you out" situation?

Thanks again.

In the meantime, I did find that Steve sells "link material" on his tools page.
http://www.pbresource.com/tools.html
Wrong dimensions but right thickness - I could cut what I need and drill holes I'm sure.

Well, boilerman found one for me so it's all a moot point. Thanks for the ideas.

Pinsiders are too nice sometime. Just noticed my heart turned gray again, so let's get that thing red.

Heh. The downside of boilerman being too nice all the time:
You get the little bakelite piece he offered you. Then two weeks later you get even more mail.
IMG_3737 (resized).JPG
I assure you it's super confusing when you get your mail and a name you don't really recognize has sent you pinball parts seemingly at random.

Hey waltrr or boilerman - if either of you would PM me waltrr's address I'll gladly get this back in the mail on it's way.

Oh - didn't take too much to figure out what had happened. But yeah - you sent me waltrr's lock plate by mistake.
PM his address and I'll send it on it's way.

Could someone please put together a power point for me detailing the changes in the new Batman 66' code update?

Also, please hurry. I don't have all day.

Be quiet. I'm on hold with Steve.

Printed my own when I needed them.

Looking for silk screened repro of a Jacks Open if anyone has one. I know Ron Webb made them, not sure if Shay has. Nice original would of course also be great.

This is what I'm starting with:
IMG_6118 (resized).JPG
Standard flaking in reds that I'd like to improve upon.

Will write to BG Resto otherwise.

EDIT - Replacement BG sourced already.

Back again. Taking the door to my Jacks Open apart for cleaning today. No idea in the world why this was done, but it looks like a few parts were welded together.
IMG_6178 (resized).JPG
The bracket on the left comes off, but the rod and three of the other parts are all welded together. The bracket on the right is free, so I suppose I could cut it out of there.

Don't see anything like these parts on PBR, and have no idea on part numbers to ask other than saying "ummm, the coin return bits"
If anyone knows part numbers for those so that I can ask Steve - that would be awesome.

Otherwise - if anyone has spare door parts from the larger Gottlieb EM door style that they're willing to sell - please let me know.

While I'm at it - general question. The inside of the door is filthy.
IMG_6180 (resized).JPG
This is the first larger sized Gottlieb door I've taken apart. Do these two pieces separate? It looks like they should based on the little tabs, but they're stuck together really good. Don't mind trying again but don't want to bother if they don't come apart in the first place.

Thanks on both counts. Will ask Steve when I get around to ordering, and prepare for 40 years of dried up Orange Crush or whatever is holding that door together right now.

Very cool - PM sent.

Working on a Jacks Open and I'm missing the coinbox. Can anyone confirm this page regarding the style I should be looking for?
https://pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Coinbox/Cashbox_Identification_Guide#1975_.26_Later

Three holes in the top - evenly spaced?

Speaking of which, I called Steve yesterday to get some things and was told I couldn't get any standard 1 5/8" Gottlieb sleeves. (Or at least not the 10-15 that I wanted.) He said he didn't know when he'd have them in again, and to cut down Williams sleeves if you have them. (I do, thankfully.)

Same story for 1 13/16" sleeves.

Just a heads up if you need some or were planning to order.

That the FB marketplace one? Kinda want to see better pictures of it. The ad is just sad.

Working on a Ship Ahoy that I picked up and piecing together an order for PBR. Need/Want a couple things that Steve doesn't carry or that I can't find on his site.

Anyone with extras of these? (Or if you can point me to where they are on the PBR site - cool as well.)

Lock down bar is missing one of the button things that go into the receiver:
IMG_8413 (resized).JPGWill ask Steve about this as I assume he might have them, but if I can get one through this thread - all the same to me.

Also - the trim to the door is pretty banged up in a couple corners. Anyone have a spare of these?
IMG_8414 (resized).JPG

Ahhh, I see it now. That line was included in the section for the older lockdown bars with the separate endcaps and I missed it entirely. Assuming they're the same button/screws - I'm good to go. Thanks a bunch.

Anyone with an extra door trim/frame as above - would love to hear about it.

Thanks again to those that helped point me to the right page/part# on PBR for the lock down button screw I need.

Have been tearing things down for cleaning the past few days and as a part of that - took off the receiver this past weekend. Putting things away tonight after some work on the machine and as I slide the glass into place what is that I feel with my right hand?

And somehow I hadn’t already placed my order with Steve.

Looking to sell the whole set or willing to break it up? Picked up a ship ahoy recently with one small chip in the plastic to the left of the spinner.

Is this the one? If not - find a part number and call - probably has it.

Short version : I need a single two lug 44/47 socket with an isolated bracket. Laydown preferred. Not seeing the exact socket on PBR though I know I can just ask Steve. Hoping someone might have a single socket.

Longer:
Was replacing a few sockets in my Abra Ca Dabra recently and got cocky. Made it through the playfield, replacing 6-7 sockets I had issues with happily pulling new sockets out of my meager parts supply. Three different socket types, but I managed to have extras.

Wrong. Then I went to check why one of the coin entry plate lights wasn't on. The socket was an absolute wreck. And unique.

So, I need a single socket as used in Gottliebs for illuminating the coin entry plates. It's a two lug socket, (laydown preferred) that is originially riveted to the mounting plate. I dremeled the old one off, intending to just screw a new on in will be easy. The big difference though - the mounting bracket is isolated - no power running through it.

I'm a rank amateur when it comes to EMs and all, but aren't those coin chutes pretty hard to come by as well? Of course they look pretty damn rusty so maybe not?

Did something similar replacing the bonus lights bracket on my Abra a while back. Function over original form every day unless you're doing some crazy level restoration.

Both PBR, and a few people have sold it here on pinside.

No idea if he still has any.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/repro-el-dorado-top-arch-track-who-wants-one

But I agree. That one doesn't even look chewed up. Would likely clean up really well.

Also true.

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?

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.

I believe Sonic pins just use Williams parts.

The Abra I bought a couple years ago had had a set of pinball rescue repros installed. Some of the originals are in the coinbox. I'll have to check when I get home, but I MIGHT have the C-15961. I know the two smaller ones are there, but I also know that they're broken in the exact way they always seem to be.

Marcos has the two smaller ones if repros will do.

Edit - PM sent, but the upper plastic is cracked and not great either.
