Hi all - doing Centaur restoration and I need to know what posts are located along both sides of the queen's chamber? My old PF was stripped before I got it, I can see the marks for something, too small for plastic posts, too large for metal post spacers.

Thanks

Here's an image from the old PF, I can see something was mounted.

They are metal posts, commonly called Bell posts. There were large and small sizes, some came in two parts. They are not so easy to find, especially in good shape.

Interesting - I see the posts - looks like they are attached to a clear plastic of the same shape as the top plastic. Looking at my CPR repro plastics, I now see that I have the plastics - thank you!!! Funny thing, I just bought enough bell posts to cover this and the flipper plastics.

Thank you both! I love pinside posters!

The usual, it seems these days - ebay, taking them off some old damaged plastics. I looked through the threads here about them, seems it's just not viable to make them again.

I have family in West Lafayette - hope things are going well.
