    Default 1973 Sankyo Machine Needs Part

    1973 Sankyo Back View.jpg1973 Sankyo Front View.jpg
    Been working on my 1973 Sankyo machine I'd purchased for $20 at a garage sale in NJ during the 1990's. The ball delivery tray beneath the dark green bin is missing the counterweighted white plastic part that trips the low ball microswitch. It was missing when I first bought the machine. Any guidance from anyone please?

    I have a 3D printed version of that part, and I have the counterbalance rod and weight that are missing. I can get the whole setup to you if you provide your info to me via a PM.

    My existing 3D part is for later model Sankyo's with a removable back. These earlier version Sankyo's have a slightly longer ramp, and a couple other minor differences.
    The original drawing was easy to modify and now I have both ramp versions as 3D files.

    So it's off to the printer for a couple hours

    that playfield image is a work of art - any tips on who might have a new version of it?
