Thanks Ed, I had this thing cleaned and new glass was picked up. I was ready for new boards then POW.....Road block.....
Sucks dude!
I checked all the usual suspects and couldn't find the parts you need (that is, if you cut that diverter out).
Here's the Data East part numbers (for what it's worth)...
Diverter shaft = 530-5288-00
Diverter paddle = 535-6888-00
Diverter paddle/shaft assembly (basically, the two parts above, already riveted together) = 515-6024-00
Diverter assembly (the entire thing...brackets, diverter, coil, everything) = 500-5770-01
Crank arm (this is the thing that the screw broke off of)= 515-5396-00
The best I can tell, the paddle and the shaft are riveted together. I don't know if you could drill out the rivets and separate those two parts, and then slide the rest of the assembly out from the bottom. You could then re-attach the paddle with small screws. I have no idea how this entire assembly is put together, so this might not be possible. I wouldn't cut/drill out anything unless I knew I could get everything put back together. The parts above seem to be hard to come by. I didn't check Pinball Resource, you could give them a call.
You MIGHT get lucky and find Williams parts that will FIT, but this would be no fun feat......and might not be possible. The only other option (which, will not be fun).....call Stern (who used to be Data East pinball) and see if they have changed the part numbers. Maybe there's a modern equivalent (don't hold your breath).....you could also BEG them to look through the warehouse hoping to find some obsolete part (yeah, good luck there).
Also, the best I can tell, Rocky & Bullwinkle uses the same diverter assembly....might help if you're hunting used markets.
Good luck,
Edward
