Firepower
Williams, 1980One of my Firepower targets broke off in the middle of the switch, so I need a replacement. Mounting bracket is different from what is available from PBL or Marco. Anybody got an extra lying around? If you have multiple I might take more than one since I'm not seeing them sold anywhere.
The rivets on the stack broke and I used a screw and lock nut to replace so even just the switch leaf with the target on it would be enough to fix it since I can disassemble the stack.
Looking again. Spitfiren8 was going to send me some but I haven't heard from him since. I hope he is ok.
I know I can use the Gottlieb part in a pinch but I would rather find an original if possible.
I just got a firepower and want to replace all 6 main targets as mine are mismatched and damaged. I found the same targets Vid1900 mentioned and am about to order them. Vid, do you see any problems using them on a Williams game? Hoping the mounting holes match up as well.
Quoted from J-A-Z:Hoping the mounting holes match up as well.
You can reuse the old mounting bracket.
The switches are just little stacks of parts that can be re-stacked.
For instance, sometimes the bracket is on the front and you need to move it to the back, or there is some oddball spacer that needs to be moved from the old switchstack to the new.

BUT all that being said, remember that normally the whole switch does not get replaced.
Usually, only the plastic faces wear out, and those are $1 each.

Thanks, vid. The standup target part snapped off at the bottom and I was trying to just replace the whole thing with the new switch. Instead, I'll just drill the rivets out and replace the standup part of it into the old stack. Thanks!
Here is what worked for me. Very happy with results. Mounting holes lined up and ball no longer hits glass off targets. See full thread below.
