Twilight Zone
Bally, 1993I am almost done with bringing a TZ back from the dead and I am missing a few key parts. I will look on the usual websites, but wanted to also throw this out to Pinside in case you had these laying on your nightstand, waiting for me to post.
Screen Shooter Gauge - 31-1473
Ball Guide - 01-11518
Opto Board Metal Bracket - A-151893
Any help is greatly appreciated 
Quoted from kevinleedrum:I tried to find the opto board brackets for my BSD and eventually gave up. If you don't have any luck either, I ended up buying the magnetic flipper boards from Tony at Great Lakes Modular, which use standoffs instead.
Thanks. I found the ball guide on Marcos
there is a seller on ebay parting out a TZ that may have those parts. Think he is located in CA. You could check with him to see if he has those. Hope it helps.

Thanks..I will email him
The seller on eBay said he thinks he has the opto metal bracket, and Marco has the ball guide...just needing the screen shooter gauge.
Pinside is an awesome site, thanks again.

I've been looking for a replacement shooter gauge for a couple of years myself, its a hard to find part. Good luck in the search!
Quoted from Drew13:one last bump, before we need to try and make these parts....
If you decide to go the make it route I would be glad to take some measurements of the parts on my TZ since my game is in pieces right now.
Well on to plan B.
JJ and Game Exchange are going to manufacture my missing parts. For them to do this, they need the actual parts for one week. I am three pieces of metal away from having a TZ brought back from the dead.
If I can borrow your parts for one week, I'll pay you $50 for your troubles and pick them up and deliver them back to you. Here are the parts:

Thank you for all the help! I am meeting Mark tomorrow to pick up the parts and get them done. TZ will be operational in a week or so. I'll post a few pics.
Also, thank you goes out to metahugh for taking pics of the actual parts needed. I owe you a beer if you ever venture out to Denver.
Thanks again.
Well the TZ Project is done and playing nicely. Can't say enough about fellow pinsider blunoonan (Mark) for bringing the necessary parts to Denver so Game Exchange could duplicate them. Big thanks to JJ and Game Exchange for sticking through this one. Game is awesome.
Looks great!! Only thing I see is you need to swap the yellow pop bumper top over where the amber/orange one is. Makes the correct pop light up to correspond with the skill shot. I am in the process of doing a restore to my TZ also. The work you have done is very nice!!
Quoted from Spidey171:no its:
Upper left: Red
Upper right: Yellow
Lower: Amber
Check ipdb for the pdf on placement or look at the flyer to see where they were originally installed. Or, just see what lights up on the skill shot.
Dang, I had mine the wrong way round as well.
So where does the Purple one go? 
Quoted from Spidey171:Or, just see what lights up on the skill shot
Exactly. And that's how I have mine setup. Red UL, Amber UR, Yellow Lower. They light up in a clockwise direction from the skill shot, therefore the yellow should be at the bottom.
Watch the first 10 seconds of this video, perhaps even pause it at 0:09. Orange award=top two pops lit up.
I know about the flyer and original factory pictures and stuff like that. Keep in mind, though, that the factory just grabbed whatever was available to finish machines with whatever parts were available to them. I doubt anybody will ever be able to figure out what coin door they used, when, and for how long. And that's just the coin door!
