Found the three WW plastics that I was looking for thanks to a couple of Pinsiders.
But now I discovered that this tiny plastic is broken, too. (see pic). It sits just to the left of the Hi-Pressure area. A guy on eBay has one for $ 24.77 with "generous" free shipping (55 cents), but I'd like to see if I can shave some bucks off that.
Any help?

Asking about using LEDs for flashers for a WW.
I'm shopping a WW for a friend and am considering LEDs. The machine has three different "areas" of flashers the way I see it:
under playfield flashers, flashers under light domes, and 906's in the backbox panel.
What do you owners think? All flashers in LED?
Just the under pf? Just under domes? Just in back panel? Or a combo?
Thanks for your input.
There are two tall posts at each rear corner of the playfield wooden side rails that support the left ramp. Are both posts supposed to be the same height, or could the right post be slightly shorter? After reassembling the pf, a very soft shot up the left ramp causes the ball to stop in the middle of the ramp and you have to tilt the game in order to get it to move right or left.
Thanks for your help.
I started having the same issue, did you find a solution?
Haven't heard a thing in over two weeks. Sorry.
Solved my problem with having a stuck ball on the backside of the left ramp. Corner posts were backwards.
In reference to the Shoot Again feature: mine doesn't work. Isn't there some way to turn on the Ball Saved feature and adjust the number of seconds that it lasts? I've looked through the manual and must be missing it.
On the diverter, how does the arm swing back to the left when the coil de-energizes? Sometimes all the shots to the right ramp go right into the three ball lock right from the start.
What targets do you need to hit in order to to light the Lock?
Perhaps you can tell this machine is new to me.
Yes, the lack of a return spring on the diverted plunger was the problem.
The diagram does not show this spring at all. I used a 2 1/2" by 9/16"
spring and it works great.
I still cannot find any use of the words "Ball Saved" or " Shoot Again" in the Adjustments section of the manual after having re-read it six times. Would somone please direct me to the proper adjustment number or manual page on which this adjustment appears. The Ball Saved light only comes on in Lamp test.
The Extra Ball light comes on when it should but does not award an extra ball to the player. When lowered the switch shows as shut in Switch test.
The grandkids of a friend managed to break the shooter knob on his Whirlwind. There's a chunk of plastic that's missing. I haven't run into this before, can I just use a pliers to break off the rest of the broken knob and screw or press on a new custom knob? Or does the whole shooter rod have to be replaced? Not a big deal either way, just haven't seen that before. Thanks.
