No worries, I did the same thing, even looked on PSPA and didn't see them (not the best picture on their web site). Then found them on PSPA's eBay parts (with a better picture).

They are slightly shorter than original. I tried on on the Eight Ball, but it was too short and would not plunge the ball with enough power. I re installed the original, at it worked a treat. This concerns me a bit as I bought mine from BAA 5-6 years ago !

From the collar where the outer spring is mounted to the tip is 200mm. At the other end, the cavity for the clip is 30 mm from the tip. From memory, this is the area which is shorter.

I think these repros are all the same plunger, but just make sure it works when you install it.

I hadn't installed mine yet, so just took it out to check and unfortunately your right Nino, it's 16mm shorter.

damn sorry to hear and thanks Nino for the heads up. could have been another spare part for my collection of un-useable. why don't they say these are shorter so you don't waste your time?????

To the best of my knowledge - NLA. I got mine from BAA. PBR used to have them as well. I think they were discontinued because they are too small.

The original part number - A-100-15

This is them!

If you click on the picture it has the dimensions on there as well and after checking my original shooter rod, I'm happy to say that they match up.

[pinball god]

nice find, may have to place an order?? haven't bought from these guys for awhile. thanks

[Crashramp]

Mine turned up from Best of Pinball and its a great match



Original and new shown

nice one Crash.

can anyone confirm the type of plunger on an embryon. mine has the pointy one and the space invaders has a flat/smooth end. reason I ask is on the ipdb.org site the embryon pictured has the same as my si and I'm thinking I may only need to swap the two plungers over if that makes them both original

The Bally 1981 parts manual lists it as A-100-7. See page 66
