looking for pin parts or info

[subdude]

I have a 1940 Exhibit Supply Co. Flagship machine. Its about 90% complete & its missing the ball lifter knob & rod. I'm trying to locate a source for it or from possibly another parts machine from that era (pre-war). I'm also looking for more info on it i.e. schematics, flyers etc.

Wow, that looks cool..I hope you can find your parts!!

Did you try posting on rec.games.pinball for your info and parts?

It's a friendly group and I think there are a lot of members that are knowledgeable about these older machines.

I've only seen one wood rail pinball up close and personal, and it wasn't operational. Gameplay wise I don't think they would be my cup of tea...but they sure are fascinating.

Good luck on your quest.

yeah I posted on there & other sites. I'm getting the feeling that this may be the only one & I have to custom manufacture any spare parts. I guess I can finally justify the purchase of a small metal lathe

they dont have anything for my machine I have already looked at them long time ago

[pinball wizard]

well,i guess it's roll your own time then.as you said ,you can justify purchasing a metal lathe.i would rather purchase tools to make something myself when i can justify it,and have done so in the past.i have acquired lots of tools and equipment that way.
