BingoJoe out of Utah is a wonderful parts source:

Ebay UK,

For some reason the search here works much better than ebay America in surfacing bingo pinball parts for sell in America and is cuts out all of the repeat entries which is also nice:

Bartering, Sharing, and Establishing a Network:

Some of these things are 50 years old, and after the attrition associated with the "Johnson Act" parts for these are hard to find.

I would encourage everyone to please help update this page with sources and leads on parts.

Ball Shooters:
There is a posting on rec.games.pinballs on 07/19/1999
from Dave @ WACKO172@aol.com claiming he has several of these.

Wooden Legs:
There is a posting on rec.games.pinballs on 05/01/1998 from John @ pinball@istar.ca stating that WURCO in North Tonawanda NY (suburb of Buffalo) advertizes that they have lots of wooden legs. He says he doesn't know there number but that directory assistance should be able to provide it.

Steve Pazar and rec.games.pinball
On 07/11/2000 steve posted a query on this Usernet Site telling how he needed a minor part to finishup his project on a Bally Showboat. Toward the bottom of his posting he states: "I/m certain this switch was used on many United Bingos, so if anyone out there has a junker playing field with this switch, I'd sure like to hear from you. I've got lots of Bally bingo parts for swap or will buy it. Thanks."

Have your own custom backglass painted:
I haven't written and asked any specific questions on this, but it looks like if you have money to burn here is a source to paint you a new backglass:
