I bought a 1941 Gottlieb Five & Ten (https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=863) at auction in January. While the backglass & cabinet are in excellent condition, all the plastics are disintegrated with the exception of a few bumper caps. I've been successful gathering up a lot of needed parts but I still need:
1 white deco dome bumper cap
3 red deco dome bumper caps with white centers. Even better if any have the blue letters E,T,W,F,I,V,Y or N.
1 purple dead bumper skirt/wafer, 4-hole
1 ball lift shaft catalin knob
1 schematic
I know I can get some new bumper caps at Pinball Resource but I'm trying to match the 80-year-old marbleized ones I have.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Jim,
Making marblized caps (and anything else) is simple - you just mix in
various coloured chips when you are doing the injection molding. No two
are alike, other than the colour used.
I may have one or two caps left - send me an email with photos of what
you have (reply email is valid) and I'll see what I can turn up. This is
my business so I will happily charge you!
