Hi,

I think this part is pretty much unobtanium now and unfortunately mine is really badly beaten up.

If anyone has one they'd be willing to part with then please let me know.

Thanks

Pete

Well it's still showing as In Stock so i'm hoping that maybe they have a few and others also in need can take advantage?

Unfortunately not

I sent my broken one to someone on this forum and he was going to have a crack at getting some repros made. No news on it yet though.

I might have a spare coming in with a load of bits in a week or two. If it turns up i'll stick it on eBay and then post a link here.

Not quite Firebrand. That one was at the Pinball Center but since then we had a few turn up at Marcos. I was lucky to grab one of those and I think they only stayed in stock for a few hours.

I have a replacement cab for my R&B turning up next week and there might be a button housing with that. If there is then i'll post here about it.

I sent my broken housing to someone on here and he was going to try to get some repros made.

In the case of the one I got from Marcos I just got lucky. I was checking almost daily and then one day I checked and they were in stock. I posted here and contacted another guy I knew who wanted one - he grabbed his without problems but they sold out within a few hours.

@FirebrandX We they ones you got NOS? I know Jeff at Classic Arcade has been making repros of the Lion and Bullwinkles arm. The Lion is a perfect match but the brown used on the arm looks out to me. Still, an off-colour arm is better than a busted arm or no arm at all I guess.

The Lion plastic I got from Jeff is absolutely perfect and an exact match. The arm looked to be out on the color, but of course it could be that the original had faded or changed color due to it being in sunlight. Be interesting to see if yours match up too.
