Need a part for my pachinko

[MrAl]

Help please. Does anyone have this part in one of your bone-yard nishijin machine type C machines. I discovered this piece broken. I do not have a spare of this type. Notice the left part of the broken piece has a L shape which is different than most. I circled that distinction in the second image. This piece has contact with the ball launch hammer and allows more balls to load in the ball feed door. The machine is one of those silly elec rotary thing a ma jigs. I will of course pay for the part

P.S.

dry fit your part so ya know the orientation of it before ya epoxy it..

the one posted above has a mixing nozzle included.. i never use them.. Dispense 2 small equal pea sized portions on a bit of cardboard or paper plate.. then mix with a tooth pick or paper clip.. mix it slow so you dont fill it with air bubbles.

that tube will last years if ya take care of it.. the mixing nozzles waste so much material...

Well I have re-created my part. I purchased some epoxy and some steel to try two different methods. One was to glue it and the other was to re-build it. I like the epoxy idea for most repairs however, I was concerned with the location of this part and possible high stress. I used some steel plates I bought for 99 cents at ACE hardware and used a dremel cutter wheel. The steel was thick enough that it was difficult to bend in a vise grip. Anyway here is a photo of the completed part

Nice job! I see that metal was formerly a Simpson Strong Tie!
