Plunger linkage replacement

[Wiredworm]

Hi,

Just started rebuilding some of the other mechs on Rocky & Bullwinkle and noticed that the linkage on this plunger is in a bit of a sorry state.

I believe they call this 'slop' and although it's only for one of the trough mechs I figured it should probably be replaced. It's unusual because most of the linkages i've seen on R&B have been plastic; I think this is the only metal one.



So, hit me up folks. Can I buy just the linkage on it's own or will I need both a plunger and linkage? And if so can someone point me in the direction of someone who sells them please?

Thanks

Ha, never mind. Checked the manual and it confirms the part number.

It's one of these http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/515-5473-00

Now to try to find a UK supplier.

Yup, already sent him a mail. His online store says it's closed til the end of the week so presume I might not hear from him for a few days. Aaah well, no rush. Lots of other stuff to rebuild.

Or two suitable washers ?

If you can't get one, send it to me. I'll sort you out.

Yeah, good idea. Although as i've spent so long restoring this i'd rather just replace it if at all possible.

Thanks for the offer. I've actually got an order in with Marcos for some other bits, two of which are currently out of stock. So worst case I can probably add this to the order; obviously i'd rather buy within the UK if possible though.

I'm sure Andy or Phil will have one

If you couldn't get one I would have made you one.

Thanks @stoptap I really appreciate the offer.

Phil at Pinball Heaven doesn't stock it but has offered to stick it on his next Marco order. I've decided to go that route because my own order could take some time to be shipped as some of the parts are on back order.

In the meantime i've got a shedload of stuff for polishing and a lot of other mechs that need to be rebuilt; i'll leave the trough until a bit later.
