    Here’s a repair in a pinball 85 years old. I was lucky to be able to purchase a World’s Fair Jig-Saw build by Rock-Ola in 1933.
    I know the full history and that’s quite exceptional I think. At a certain moment in its long history someone decided that the broken rebound spring needed replacement by this coil spring. To be honest it worked well.

    But the original looks a lot better!
    Proud to restore a piece of American history.
    Bought it from rockola.buckwerx.com. Great site for these vintage pinballs. Courtesy to Nathan Thompson.

    Quoted from dasvis:

    Where did you find the correct spring?
