Hello, Does anyone know where to sorce replacement "Frogs" for a 161/201 series tormat contact block? All the silver is completely gone on them, and all that's left is the brass pin.. I didn't know if there were replacement tips for the pins or if I would have to try and silver solder the tip and file it to the correct size. Thanks, Nick

I don't recall any supplier that sells replacement pin contacts for the contact blocks.
There should be an abundance of these available in the used market; this would probably be the easiest way to go.
Silver soldering new contact faces to your old pins is certainly an option. You can source appropriate contacts from a pinball supply company.
FROG? Did I mention that I despise this term? It should be abolished!
It's funny that when Ron Rich was around he'd blast people for not using the correct terminology as found in the service manuals... but then promoted the use of the term 'frog'.
The term 'Contact Block' seems to work fine! 😁
