    Yes, the 7/8" OD washer is available at Marco's - that is used to buffer coil recoil, but not the 3/4", which is used on one of the screws that hold up the underbracket of the front bracket assembly (i.e., it is there to keep a tight but slidable attachment for when the bracket obstructing the coin door gets moved, allowing the coin door to be opened). Every one of my '70s Bally pins (EM or SS) uses this, but the one for my Wizard! was so corroded that it broke in half upon disassembly.

    I did find this, but I can only imagine that this thing would cost like $25 to ship , so I am looking for one in the USA.

    Quoted from bluespin:

    Ace Hardware stocks ten times the assortment of screws, nuts, washers that Lowes does. I needed a hat pin for my rubber wheeled dolly. Home Depot and Lowe’s had a very limited selection and not the size that I needed. I went to Ace Hardware and they had ten times the selection. At little higher priced but they had it locally.
    Also look at boltdepot.

    It seems that the thickness of the washer at all these places is much higher (and hence the spring is much stiffer) than proper.
