Thanks for posting this. My match unit just stopped working. I am not a big fan of making it work again, but the wife likes to hear the KNOCK when a match is made

Quoted from spclwhenlit:

I've searched thru other posts, and know that others have looked for a replacement activator plate and lever that goes on the little WMS match unit. My Grand Prix is missing the entire plate.
Does anybody know where I can find a new or used replacement?
If I can't find a replacement, I'm considering some sort of work around that would at least toggle the lamps that are normally switched thru the bonus unit, by wiring the little bonus unit switch to something else, like maybe the ball count unit. Has anybody else done that sort of work around?
Thanks for any suggestions!
P.S. The pic is from Clay's Pinrepair.com website... I hope he doesn't mind.[quoted image]

Anyone sell just the plastic index gear? Mine is broken off a Williams Big Deal.

Thanks! Just ordered a replacement unit. I will still make an engineering drawing of this unit and see how hard it is to make one from Delrin or Aluminum.

Just installed the unit. It is better than the original and removes the problem area with a metal plate in its place. Thanks for the information.
