Wanted Gate bracket

Looking for a gate bracket this size. The wire part is not needed.

It's for Laser Cue, notorious for missing the shooter lane gate. I can't find any Williams Part catalogue containing Laser Cue. I've checked the one for Alien Poker thinking it could be similar but even then the part is unobtainable.

This gate comes from a different game I have but fits. Unfortunately this gate is also unobtainable so I'm looking for one a similar size.

Are you trying to mod your game?

Laser Cue and Alien Poker didn't have shooter lane gates from factory, as can be seen from the flyers on IPDB

My Alien Poker doesn't have a shooter lane gate, and I don't find it a problem

I've seen both with gates. The issue on Laser Cue is the ball goes back into the shooter lane a lot, and with a lot spinner it feels like an unfair advantage when you can get over 40k on a plunge from a lit spinner. Fun at home but it feels like it would be too much luck if at a big comp.

None on mine either. Someone must have fitted them afterwards.

I wouldn't worry too much about an unfair advantage as everyone has the same amount of luck of getting it back in there.
 
I've got this one (from a Time Warp) which you could drill to suit

Personally I wouldn't do it though, I agree with @Arv it's equal for everyone

If the game plays too long, take out the rail between the scissor Flippers 😁

I've seen it enter the shooter lane multiple times for one player then not the other, it seems a bit overpowered to me, maybe I'm just sour because it never happened to me when it mattered 😂

Already out 😉

I'd left it in for two of our comps, but been playing with it out for a couple months now. It can be long player like a lot of the Williams solid states.

If you don't need that bracket I'll happily take it, let me know what you want for it. Even if I don't use it I like to have various bits in my ****nal to make games tougher. It might actually fit Hotdoggin' which has a gate issue 🤨
