part # 15847 - or 48 as I dont see 47 on the sales listing.
Though... Even if you got the rebuild kit.. you might end up using most of the parts. Theres a coils holder mounting that you might need.
Those coils need heavy duty mounting.. as thier shock-waves will quickly rattle them loose.. thus causeing some major damage.
I had to tighten the bolts/screws on pinball machines every month (in the acade) less a lose coil damage several assemblys. Locktight may help... but do be aware to open it up every so often to clean the sleeve, and tighten the bolts.
OSCAR:
Or you can just buy a real Gottlieb knocker assembly right from Wico, too. That's what I bought, $8 IIRC. Keep in mind that most pinball coils (and this Gottlieb one) are around 25V~35V to actuate. Here's a pic of mine:

So if I get that knocker from Wico and hook it to the bottom of my cab I'll get a cool knocking sound when q-bert dies? How does it interface with the computer? Does it require any special hacks or Mame compile? I'm not a Q-bert maniac or anything, but for $8 I would be in.
