    Does anyone have a source for these. I am striking out with my usual sources. I cant replace the spinner on my F2K until I find something. Thanks

    Thank you. They don't seem to be available anywhere and I didn't want to machine one.

    I've only seen Philips head 6-32 machine screws used on F2K
    spinners...never saw a carriage bolt. Was that for sample or prototype
    games only?

    Hi John,

    I don't know if it is a sample or prototype - is there a way to tell? All the playfield posts are secured with these bolts. Also, it was ridden pretty hard on route and put away wet for sure - I just cleaned up a transistor fire last night.

    Here is a pic of the bottom of the play field: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dv-7i_Lmmut1a6EAn9UluCUA
    The two holes at the center are bolts I pulled out (one is the broken bolt to the spinner and the other was stripped). Visible above are the ends of two bolts that are still in place. The nice new pop bumper at the bottom is the one you sent - fits nice :)

    Ah, now I get it, the carriage bolt heads were under the playfield with
    the threaded shaft going through the playfield and playfield post and
    then holding the spinner in place with a nut.
    Yeah, t-nut and machine screw is much better!
