    Question Help needed: 1978 Heiwa jackpot rocker part missing

    Hi everyone- thank you for taking a look at this!

    I am working on restoring this 1978 Heiwa machine - my first such project:
    Heiwa front.jpg

    Its jackpot assembly seems to be missing the rocker part with upside-down wings:

    When I say 'missing' I mean broken off:

    I wanted to try to make the part by 3d printing it, but have not been able to find any stl files for similar parts. I understand that different models have slightly varied versions of it, but the basic shape seems to be a cross-over through brands and ages.

    Any advice or lead to help me source this part would be absolutely awesome and I thank you in advance for it!

    Thank you kindly! I should say this is after about 30 hours of working on and learning from this machine.

    I agree with Sparky. I looks like a great machine to bring back to life. I'll keep an eye out for your part.

    You’re probably are going to have to find a parts machine; which is going to be an uphill battle since vintage Heiwas are way less common than say, Nishijins.

    That’s the problem with oddball machines if they are not 100% complete; parts are extremely hard to find. Nishijins are much more common and therefore plenty of parts availability; which makes them excellent restoration candidates.
