I'm looking for an original, red ACE drop target for a Gottlieb Royal Flush/Card Whiz. I installed a replacement from PBR, and it looks "okay", but it is smaller and sits lower than the others...

The "A" doesn't have to be all there, in fact, if it was worn it would match the other drop targets.

Thanks.

Message sent! Thanks a lot!
What do I owe you?

Look what arrived in the mail this afternoon! Thanks Boilerman, this drop target looks better than the original that broke!

I'd like to thank Pinhead52 for offering to help, too.

I don't know about the rest of Pinside, but the EM people here are great. I look forward to helping someone when I can.

I'm looking for a Royal Flush (1976) backglass - mine's really flaky, and a backglass for a Domino (1968). My Domino backglass is all there, but the colors are really faded. I see that Ron Web has a repo on sale, but an original would be cool. Thanks.

I was just looking at that page, thanks.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that's flaky.

I've got a '76 Williams Grand Prix that has the wrong shooter rod. It cleaned up in the tumbler well, and I can live with it, but if somebody has the right one, I'd like to buy it. Thanks!

If you need a shooter rod like this one, let me know.

I'm looking for a Williams 4" Score Reel for my Palooka (1964). The assembly works fine, but the rotating, plastic wheel is warped. I just need the numbers reel. Thanks.

I checked the backbox picture on the ipmdb for Paddock, and I think you're right. They look the same.

PM sent.

The score reel arrived today, and it was installed right away. Thanks to jwwhite15!
The EM hangout rules!

I've got a Williams Full House project, and I'm creating my parts list for PBR. Among other things, I need to replace a broken bottom switch blade for a jet bumper.

I couldn't find anything on the PBR webpage for jet bumpers, and so I checked an online Williams manual, but the bottom blade doesn't have a parts number.

Does anyone know what I should ask for when I sent my parts order to PBR? Do I just request a "bottom switch blade for a jet bumper"? I don't want to mess up the order and have to pay shipping again for such a small part.

Thanks! PM sent.

I've got a chime unit from a Sonic Mars Trek (also from 1977).

You can PM me if you are interested.

No, the Mars Trek is full functioning and too much fun to sell (for now).
I picked up the MT chime unit for another project, and now I don't need it.

I'm looking for two of the brackets that connect the playfield to the lockdown mech. One bracket is bent and broken on my Williams Full House project, and the other is missing.

Can someone tell me the bracket's correct name? I can't find the part # in the Williams catalog, and I don't know how to search for it at PBR or Marco.

As you noted, Marco is out, and PBR emailed that they don't carry these brackets.

If anyone has spares, please let me know. Thanks!

I think you offered brackets to Lermods, but he had already ordered from Marco and PBR.

I'm looking for Williams playfield hold down brackets, and Marco doesn't have them in stock, and PBR doesn't carry them.

The brackets are for a '66 Williams Full House. Here's my broken and bent one:

A fellow pinsider has some playfield brackets that he is willing to share.
Thanks for the responses and the help. Pinside rules!

Sorry, I don't have one.

What would be a good replacement for Gottlieb-style lockdown bar on a Recel machine? I think I've read advice about someone adapting a System 80 bar, but I'm not sure if that's right.
This is for a reeeeealy tough looking Criterium 75.

Thanks! If I win the auction, I'll let you know.

You were spot-on! The bar from eBay was $25.50 shipped, and the slide was an extra $15 as predicted. I didn't have to pay extra for shipping, though.

This adaptation looks pretty straight forward, and I think it will be a good solution for a missing Gottlieb EM lockdown bar.
Thanks to pinhead52 for also pointing me in the right direction.

I am on the lookout for a nice backglass for a Full House. Mine is serviceable, but a better one would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've got a Williams Zig Zag (1964). The inside of the coin door was stripped. I'm curious if anyone has the coin reject switches and/or the coin chutes?

I tried to painting some plastic hole buttons rattle can silver and use them to fill the reject holes, but they didn't turn out very well. Thanks!

Makes me think of the movie 9: thumb-1920-608582 (resized).jpg

Good advice, but my local Ace Hardware only has marked carriage bolts, and their chrome hole covers were etched with starburst, fire, and eagle patterns. I'll have to try some other stores.

Added over 7 years ago: One day later: I found metal covers at a True Value hardware store for less than two bucks. Thanks!

I'm looking for a score reel coil stop for a Williams Zig Zag (1964). I'll buy an entire score reel if that's the only way I can get a decent coil stop. Thanks.

Good idea! I checked PBR and eBay, but I forgot about checking Marco. I'm curious, do you think the Marco online catalog flipped their image? This picture shows the exact opposite of what I need.

Also a good idea. Cool.

Thanks guys, I ordered one from Marco, but if it really is wrong, then I'll PM you. Appreciate it.

I'm looking for a picture of the score card for a Zig Zag.
I tried to start a thread about this, but this is probably a better place to ask.
Thanks!

With the help of Pinsider nomo, I have now have a score card for my machine! Whew. That hole in the apron was really starting to bug me. Thank you, nomo!

Looooooog shot: I'm looking for a Criterium '75 playfield.

I've got a Recel Criterium '75 which is basically a barn find. I need to replace this relay coil that operates PF illumination. 9500 is all it has for identification.
20180521_202209 (resized).jpg
Jimmy at Pinball Resource said they didn't have it, but told me to email John at flippers.com. I did, but I didn't hear back from him. It looks like he has a replacement, but it was put on the website in 2011.

https://www.flippers.com/catalog/product_info.php/coil-a35950-yellow-p-2748

I thought that the information listed on that page "Coil A35-950 - YELLOW Model: 050-002. Alternate # 9.500" might lead me to a replacement coil from a different manufacturer, but I haven't had any luck.

Does anyone know of a suitable replacement? Thanks!

Comparing the Recel parts catalog to the Gottlieb catalog was really clever. I would not have thought of that. I ordered an A-9740 this morning, and I'll report back about the results. Thanks, MarkG!

The A-9740 relay coil isn't as tall as the 9500 coil, but it does work. I tried using a washer to make up for lost length, but it buzzed like no other. The roll over switch on the playfield that activates this coil needs a longer connection than the other two to work, but that is better than not working at all.
