Hey everyone, thanks for looking.

I am currently finishing up a playfield restoration on a williams king pin. I am pretty much finished so last night I decided it was time to put the flippers back on. Everything was good until the last set screw snapped (old style, I know I should have changed them)
I managed to get it out by drilling it out, but in the process messed up the linkage. I found one on ebay but it doesn't quite match. I'm wondering if anyone here has a spare or knows where to get the same one. I have attached an image of mine for reference.

Thanks!!

Ya I did see these, but mine has a more blunt end. Those are more round. I was thinking if they aren't the same they might feel different compared to the same side.

If you're on a tight budget you could repair that one by using a tap (threads cutter) on that hole to make it a bigger size, or drill a new hole and tap that to the original size.

I did do this to get it working for now, but want to get a replacement. But like I said mine is a slightly different shape than those ones at pbr so I'm not sure they will be the proper ones.
