    Anyone have the two ball rails that sit just below the flippers or is just bending some wire a better deal? I did not even know these were missing until I looked closely at the playfield and noticed a couple of holes in the deck. It's not a big deal (get it?) to me, but might as well see if there is anyone with a set.

    I’ve got a set I’ll send you for free. Just need some postage.

    Do you have any other parts for the Big Deal? The two lower clear plastic lane guides on mine are broken and I need to either fabricate replacements or salvage from another machine.

    The only lower lane guides on the 1977 version are metal. The sling tops are plastic. I might have one of those and probably have the metal lanes guides too

    I installed them and took out an exiting bumper pin that somebody installed just behind the flippers. The ball would just get stuck between the newly installed rails and this non-Williams' bumper pin! The Mrs. said the rails would have to go since the game got 1000% harder without this helpful mod. There is no use in arguing the finer points of a "pure" game so off they went and into the coin box.
