Shortly after I bought my ToM a couple of years ago, I noticed that it was missing a #A-19002 “Corvette (Bally) Flap Gate Assembly”, adjacent to the 'Vanish' hole (No. 69 listed under “Upper Playfield Parts” in the ToM manual).

I probably searched the whole internet by now, even tried a Stern gate thinking it was going to work… but never found a usable replacement. Argh!

Is there someone here who wants to sell me one? Or could make one for me? I’m of course willing to pay for it.

Thanks!

Can you take the Stern one and make it work? I've made them before out of larger ones. Hardest part is getting the bends right.

What is the distance between these 2 posts?
I’m thinking the part # in the manual is incorrect.
A-19002 is not found at:
https://www.ipdb.org/files/2845/Bally_1995_Theatre_of_Magic_Parts_List.txt

I trust the list more than the manual.
I’m thinking it’s this gate:
https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/A-20427

There is a grid that shows the dimensions on the Marco site.
This gate A-20427 is about 2 7/8” wide with mounting hole distance around 2 1/2”

The gate bracket for A-20427 is 01-13178.
The wire is 12-7296 and is available.

Wow, thank you so much for all the info! I won’t be home for a week, but will try to measure the distance between the two posts when I get back.
