I'm looking for a couple replacement parts for my Williams 'Comet'.

I need the rail and switch assembly that goes over the entrance to the Comet ramp, and one of the red plastic light housings at the top of the field (that look like the kiosks at the entrance to the amusement park.)

Any know someone who's parted out one of these machines?

There is one sitting in a back room of a scrap metal dealer here on the eastern shore, Maryland. Shultz; located in Denton, MD Caroline county, is the name of the scrap yard but each time I ask they don't really want to sell it. Not sure why but you might be able to get it at scrap metal price. I am sure that is what they paid for it.

Bummer, that's too far for me (700 miles!) If you or someone picks it up for parts, let me know -- I could use a few.
 
Here's a picture of one of the parts I'm looking for. This is the gate and switch assembly at the entrance to the Comet ramp, right next to the "Dunk the Dummy".

The parts I need are in the center of the photo: the metal bracket that goes up and over the comet ramp, the zig-zag switch that is suspended under it, and the hanging switch that drops down into the hole on the playfield (you can see it right above the "Y" in "DUMMY".) Basically, everything that attaches above the 2 rubber-bumper posts at the ramp entrance.

If anyone out there has a trashed Comet they are selling parts off of, please give me a shout.

Comet

Hay vongoosewink maybe if we could buy that comet for cheap we could split the cost. Maybe Kbojjn could take the parts off we need and send them to us keeping the rest to do with what he wants. I could really use the head itself as long as it was in decent shape. I am to the point of taking mine off and sending it to a cabinet maker for repair then send it to an artist to redo the art work.Let me know if you have any interest in something like that.

Thanks

Good idea... I would be happy to chip in for just the parts I need, I'm sure if someone local there was willing to take the time to do it it could be worthwhile... I don't need a lot, just 3 or 4 small playfield components.
