    This may be in the wrong section, but today I got in my flipper assemblies only to realize they don't come with hardware... . Soooo, who sells the teeny tiny screws that hold in the flipper assemblies? Or if they're available anywhere, anyone have measurements or a part number so I can go get some?

    Are you talking about the 1/2 inch #6 hex screws? You can get those at the hardware store.

    They must be smaller than 1/2" or they'd go through the playfield, wouldn't they?

    I believe playfids are 13/16", if I'm not mistaken...

    Well, to the hardware store I go after a quick measuring.

    Just bring a screw with you so you get the right one.

    Mechs and such take a 1/2" screw. Bulb sockets take 3/8".

    I highly reccomend the big bag of everything from pinball life. When you're dealing with a bunch of missing random pinball parts, this comes quite in handy!

    And it does have some of the machine screws for flipper mounting!

    If you're talking about the screws that attach the complete assembly to the playfield, those are # 6 by 1/2" long screws. I buy mine at the local ACE hardware store.
