Pinball Slingshot / Shooter Armature Link (P/N 03-8085 and 545-5293-00)

thingiverse

This is an armature link for a slingshot and shooter... used on Williams, Bally, Stern, Sega, and Data East pinball machines. The old part was P/N 03-8085 ... the new one is 545-5293-00 , which is a bit thicker (and presumably stronger), but still seems to work everywhere that the old one does. I included a model (STL and Sketchup file) for both thicknesses just in case. This piece connects the solenoid to the slingshot or shooter, and fairly commonly breaks... causing the sling or shooter to no longer work. I printed it with 100% infill in ABS, and it feels at least as strong as the original. Yes, I realize that it's only a 60 cent part, but I was helping a friend fix his pinball machine, and modeled and printed this in under a half hour while the machine was still apart... rather than paying $7 to ship a 60 cent part, and waiting a week to get it.
