Thought it an idea to have a thread for all those parts we can't find. Thread may sink into oblivion but I will start it!
Looking for a good condition Gottlieb AAB coin door ( 1975 ). Light surface rust is ok, but no dents or dings. The AAB has only 2 holes, instead of 4 that pbr sells.
Quoted from John_in_NC:Probably also a good idea to list what you can spare to trade.
I need a back door for a Gottlieb 4 player (Vulcan)
a better 50s gottliedb wood rail lockdown (Sunshine)
I have:
Spare set of Gottlieb side rails,
lots of pf parts, pops, slings, etc, (Soccer pf parting out) and
many coils
Gott EM transformer/s
switches, etc..
Not looking to sell parts but if you need something, LMK
ebay.com link: Pinball Girl Auction Gottlieb 1950s Lockdown Bar HARD TO FIND PART 99c very nice
Auction ending soon!
This is going to be tough to find.
Looking for very nice big plastic that goes at top of p/f on Big Hit 1977. Goes right across p/f at top.
Will pay around $30 for not warped/not broken!
Quoted from btw75:I am considering a tropic Isle with a blown out backglass. Does anyone know of a good one?
BG Resto have one.
Looking for enough wax lacing to do one jones plug that doesn't have any on it. Can't find for sale and would like original if anyone has any?

Thanks Hoov 
Quoted from newmantjn:Yep, PM me your address and tell me how many feet you need.
It'll be more than a week before I can send it out though, as I'm out of town at the moment. Poke me again if I forget.
Thanks for kind offer. Now have some coming
This is going to be tough to find I think.
I have a 2 chute coin entrance housing for 1977 Big Hit. It is missing the piece of metal that sits behind it and has 3 screw holes. It secures the coin entrance plates. Need the 3 screws as well. Don't even know the part number as doesn't seem to be in catalog - everything else seems to be!
See photo - the metal piece with 3 screws in it.

IMG_8083.JPGQuoted from boilerman:Oh is that all?
that should be easy to find NOT!
I think that if there was a repro of this pf it would be a great seller.
Atlantis must be one of the hardest games to find with a great p/f. I have never seen one without cracking on it. Must have been a bad year for timber when they made them. It was an exceptionally cold winter.
Amazed no one has done a repro for this game - wow, they would sell out.
Quoted from AlexF:I can check my parts. Do you need just the armature plate or the whole coil bracket assembly?
Thanks
You can see the hold relay just in front of photo - think I just need armature plate and spring.
Quoted from dtown:BG for a Gottlieb Sunshine. Condition isn't too important depending on price. Unless it's so bad you can't even tell what game it is. I know I can go the repro route but not ready to drop the $245.00 or so it would cost. I am going to contact Mayfair and see if they have any old one's in stock, although that will probably be almost as expensive.
You could chase this seller up in case sale didn't go through. Good price - I nearly bought it for wall art.

Quoted from jesster64:shapeshifter, bag of slotted screws ready to go. pm me address

Superb
Amazing that a bag of slot headed screws can make me so happy 
Quoted from AlexF:PBR actually sells these now. Part# LEG-31W.
Thanks but actually they sell the regular chrome 31 inch leg with the rib on the outside. Pretty close match but different so still looking for original
Quoted from waltrr:You might as well get a set from PBR and paint them, in the long run I think you'll be happier. The old legs were a thinner gage and seemed to twist easily. I have plenty that did. You really don't notice it until you line machines up in a row and the legs are all over the place. I'm sure the frontal rib on the new ones helps too.
Good luck on your search
Thanks - will give it a day or two and then order with pbr as they do a cream set anyway.
Quoted from hoov:Speaking of legs, anyone have a set of flat cream colored to fit late 50's Gottliebs (after wooden before ribbed)
I tried everyone and everywhere - super hard to find. Emailed tons of people.
I guess the powder coated 31 inches sets for $40 plus bucks are pretty good even though they have the rib.
If you find 2 sets let me know
Quoted from boilerman:those are VERY VERY hard to find. I know if someone would repro them, they could make a mint!
Darn it!
And I might need two as one looks like it may be non working......
Quoted from boilerman:if complete you should be able to make it work. missing is another story.
I know I have passed on machines that had those missing, knowing I would have a hard time replacing them.
even though we for the most part don't drop coins. them machine looks bare missing them.
Worse was I thought the game did have one but it is a United one. Just got to be patient I guess.
This is a great thread.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/heath-drop-chute-information-and-disassembly
One of mine is missing the reject cover - no idea if it will or won't work without it.
Quoted from DirtFlipper:That ABT style looks fine. Both should be able to work (although the Heath chute is missing one cover, so not sure if the nickel will follow the path without falling out).
There's a contact switch inside the micro switch that may need cleaning to register closing when the nickel trips the wire. But requires disassembly to clean it. That might be more than you want to tackle.
Thanks. I will try and tackle it but it will be at the end of a very long list!
Quoted from pinhead52:I need a Card Whiz diagram and manual...will order from pbr unless...somebody has an extra
Like this? Another game I was going to buy....
Original manual
2 original schematics
1 original coin chute schematics
High score settings
High score cards ( no instruction cards )
GTB envelope
Quoted from ibuypinballs:I have a few, let me see if I can find them. Give me a day or so.
Thanks
Quoted from AlexF:I had a bunch of those but sold the remaining off about a month or so ago. I've got one Ivory one left and a couple of the metal bracket and flaps left. I think you can buy the repro plastic part from PBR. I'd post a link but of course I can never find those kind of parts when I look.
Never seen an ivory one - wonder what games used them?
Quoted from DirtFlipper:I think it used to be in the Signature Parts area, but now I don't see it anywhere. I know I've purchased them before. Hope he's not out of them!
Couldn't find anywhere!
Quoted from singlezero:looking for a couple pieces for a 1949 gott bowling champ. the header is needed for the back box and as well i need an insert for the # 6 thanks in advance
I have these NOS cards - must be pretty rare!
Pm me if interested as doubt I will ever get this game.
Really not expecting anyone to have this, but here goes.
See diagram - there is a drive arm with a part that hits the bell - A1150.
See pic and my drive arm is missing this and a piece of metal that goes on top of drive arm.
Gottlieb 1952 , it's part of a 10000 point stepper unit.
Going to be a tough find....
Thanks!
Quoted from Mahoyvan:WANTED!
• One Green 5 bumper cap as pictured below.
• One or two POP, pop bumper caps
IMG_6208.JPG_(resized).jpeg
Also looking for a ball lift rod. Mine measures 4.5" long. What you see below is what I found, not sure if I'm missing anything, but it's for a woodrail.
IMG_6240.JPG_(resized).jpeg
I will keep you in mind as have a really nice POP bumper cap on my Diamond Lill. I can't let it go until I find an original white 100000 when lit cap though......
Quoted from waltrr:A while back I bought a set from Steve Young that went into my Sittin Pretty. Give Steve a call, it's surprising what he comes up with.
Thanks - they have some repros so ordering
Quoted from Phillips88:Looking for an original instruction card for Centigrade 37, Kings & Queens, Buckaroo, Abra Ca Dabra, Atlantis, and Gridiron. The reprints currently in the machines are starting to bug me. Would also be looking for score cards for these machines too. Let me know what you have. I've been looking at eBay for "lots of score/instruction cards" and haven't found these titles yet.
I love how you find machines missing instruction cards or they are reprints and then you find a machine with 17 extra instruction cards and all the original paperwork
Just looked. Don't have Gridiron instruction card but got original manual/schematic and about 10 of the original score cards - the smaller cards on the right side of apron. Pm if interested.
Quoted from ckcsm:I'm looking for the plastic pawl for a Gottlieb Rat Trap style score reel, it's out of a Ice Revue and attaches to the coil plunger end
Not sure if anyone makes a new replacement or has a good used one.
I think PBR have used. Give them a call.
Quoted from illawarra92:does anybody know if the tray liner for gottlieb's just 21 has been reproduced?
or does anybody have a file they could share?
Easy to make your own.
Use 'Joker' as template as same era and similar design.
Quoted from MikeO:Originally that wasn't chrome plated. Only nickel plated. As has been explained to me nickel plating is the last step before applying chrome plating.
To me chrome plating always looks out of place on a pinball, especially EM pinball.
In the past I used and recommended Mike Chestnut be he is no longer with us. Someone has picked up where he left off I believe. Others will point you to sources for nickel plating.
Agree - if doing anything again would nickel plate. Any chromers should do this.
