Hello: I need to pick up parts for a Pinball Machine. It is a Brunswick Alive "Elvis"from 1977?

The Metal brackets that hold the two Coils ,when you hit the left and right buttons too make the flipper hit the ball are broken.Hello: I need to pick up parts for a Pinball Machine. It is a Brunswick Alive "Elvis"from 1977?
Your best hope for the part is Pinball Resource.

You will have to call them, since I doubt Brunswick parts are on the web page. They have a ton of stuff not listed on the web page, and might know if there is an equivalent from another manufacturer.



Here are some reference sources:

If you cannot find the part, call around to some of the metal shops in your area. Somebody would be willing to weld the broken parts for $20 or so.Hello: I need to pick up parts for a Pinball Machine. It is a Brunswick Alive "Elvis"from 1977?
Because that machine is a "home model" and not a regular coin-operated pinball machine, you're not going to find parts for it at any of the pinball supply companies on the Internet.



Your best bet is to find someone local to you that does metalwork. You might have luck going to a high school and talking with the instructor that runs the metal shop, if they have one. Show them the broken parts and see if they can weld them, or fabricate new ones for you.
