Wondered about that, I've only had Gottlieb EMs and those didn't seem to have manuals.

I can get a manual from marcos but by the time you add their rediculous postage cost its about$70. same thing with the rubber kit.

Is there another Williams from the same era with a similar layout to get rubber sizes from?

You will find that in many cases, the ring sizes are not correct. My advise is to remove the old rings and read the sizes of them, and order them from a local supplier. Always order extras, and the size above and below just to be on the safe side !

Thanks Nino but I just ordered a ring set from the states.(40 delivered) not really happy about the price but at least Im getting what I need for this machine. Id rather order a couple of mixed bags off RTBB but I couldn't find anything like that in their listing. doesnt matter for now ill get extra rings later when I have other machines to repair.
