Gottlieb EM "Team One"...I just need the right screw! Help!

Hey guys,
I picked up a Gottlieb EM "Team One" on craigslist today. I almost have the machine up and running (thanks to my father in law) but one of the screws is snapped that goes to one of the reels in the head of the machine...I took a couple pictures and I have a photo of what it should look like from Marco Specialties but I'm hoping someone can verify that it will work or if you have a couple of spare ones I could buy. It prob about 3/4" long and the threads look to be 6/32"...in the pictures I am pointing to it with the head of a screwdriver (picture is sideways just fyi)...I have a makeshift screw in there right now but its not correct...the screw I need is threaded but the top part of the shaft is smooth. Its for a 1977 Gottlieb "Team One" EM.

Secondly, I need the metal ball that goes where the tilt function is on the left hand side of the body...is that just a standard ball size?

Heres the link to what it looks like on Marco Specialties but I need to verify from someone that it will work

Thanks for the help!!! I'm extremely new to EM machines so any advice is appreciated!

I have a crap load of EM parts I'll look through, but I've bought those type screws at a farm and home type store and NAPA before.

If you do want the tilt ball see if a standard ball will fit. My EM machine uses a standard ball size. My Black Knight uses a ball a little smaller than a standard pinball. In restoring it I ordered a replacement from Marco.
 
yea,
I was told it was most likely the standard size but I have seem some older EM machines use a slightly smaller ball so I wanted to double check. If anyone comes across that screw please shoot me a PM! I'm hoping the one I found from Macro Specialties is correct.
