2016-02-24_18.42.51_(resized).jpgHaven't done anything with the 5 1/2 ring that is behind the drops (will test a blue 4.5" from Titan though) but otherwise changed all the rubbers (except the rebound, put a new Titan silicone white there) to blue. I may end up doing the rebound as well. Thought I'd share:

I think they go well with the blues on the table and just give it a little more color overall.2016-02-24_18.42.33_(resized).jpg

Well, to those who mention the broke plastic, yeah, I'd love to replace it. However, I don't feel like spending $80 plus shipping just to get one plastic when that's all I need. Unfortunately, I can only find the full set at pbr.

I imagine that if they had colored rings at the time other than white, blue would possibly have been the choice and while it's not stock, neither would be a touch up. I may try a touch up but I may just get Wade's repro and let someone who knows what they are doing touch up this playfield. I do not know color matching with paints nor do I have the tools or experience to do such touch ups and I would definitely not do them for the first time on this game. I did, many years ago attempt touch ups on a 1951 Gottlieb Niagara. I had no idea what to use so used rustoleum gloss enamels paints and then tried spray poly. Wow, what a screw up that was!

Now, if anyone knows where I can reasonably buy just the single sling plastic that is broken, I would really like to replace it.

As for EM blasphemy, someone put a cool white LED behind the score reel in the BG and it looks great, gives it an aquarium feel. I may try cool white leds elsewhere as I think this game might look decent with that cool feel to match the aquatic theme. Again, it's a matter of taste, but these games are now in our homes and we should enjoy them as we see fit. Now, that plastic...

LOL, I will try to get better pics. Ordering a 4 1/2 silicone blue from Titan to see if it will fit. Not sure how smaller rings would work since one would have to sit 'high' and one 'low' on the middle post. Not sure why Gottlieb didn't just use two posts in the middle and smaller rings. Not expecting Titan to produce 5" rings just yet though it would be great - there just aren't enough games to call for the price of molds. That said, he is producing t-post rubbers and those definitely aren't used on lots of playfields (though they are used on some and are used as nipple protectors on the backs of segmented digit displays.

There isn't a 5" blue ring available but I've got a 4/5 silicone from Titan on the way. If it works I will post it. I'm also going to replace the white rebound rubber with blue

I also agree that white rings on white posts is kinda meh, in fact nice new rubbers just make the aging posts look crummy. The blue however shifts the reference point and everything looks better.

Pink I can't do on this game.

That's what I'm talking about with using 2 - 2 1/2" rings instead of one 5 or 5.5". It'll work but it's odd looking and not ideal. Hopefully I'll have the 4.5" silicone from Titan today or tomorrow to find out if it has enough stretch to work properly.

4.5" silicone is just too small. Will not work Ah well, I tried. I hate to do it but I might just do the double smaller ring thing.
