Quoted from ypurchn:

Anybody have a good scan they can do for me?

Don't want to act stupid but what do you mean by a "good scan?" The plastic below the rail on the left of the bunker?

Quoted from ypurchn:

a high res scan that I could try to create my own waterslide decal from

Yes.

Got it...let me see if I can do that this weekend.

Quoted from FiatsRUs:

I just completed some work on my Twister wherein I replaced all of the lights with LEDs (except the flashers) and reworked the ramp attachment to (hopefully) forestall any more cracking to the ramp. The ramp cracks because it is attached to the playfield only with two screws through the plastic, and the walls of the ramp at the entrance are constantly hammered without any means of lateral support (that probably describes a lot of pinball ramps). The result is that they crack starting at the weak point (the holes for the screws) and the cracks continue up the ramp. I don't believe there is a replacement ramp available.
Here are a few pics. Note that the ramp is no longer attached with the wood screws into the playfield. Instead, there a two 2 1/2 inch #6 machine screws on either side of the entrance that extend below the playfield and are secured with nylock nuts.
I first glued the cracks in the ramp with Plast-I-Weld. I then fabricated a piece of clear plexiglas (the edges were sanded and flame polished) that ties the two walls together using the attachment holes already available on the SS ramp protectors. #6 machine screws and nylock nuts were used at all four attachment points (the ramp holes had to be drilled out) with the front screws (2 1/2 inch) used to firmly attach the ramp to the playfield (as described above). The whole thing is rock-solid and will hopefully head off any additional cracking.

Hey FiatsRUs, I had been meaning to ask you about the metal protector around the magnet spinner. How did you create that? I'd like to add this to mine to elevate damage around it.

I'll commit to the plastics. Here some pics.

On a completely different subject, where did you get the labels for the target switches? Mine are getting worn and I'm going to replace them all and start fresh.

Quoted from mdeslaur:

No, I am taking about the target and other misc decals, see pic I stole from a google search. I know someone sells different-looking target decals on eBay, but I like the originals better.
I did re-draw the drop target decal for mine based on a few blurry pictures, but I'd really like a set or a scan of all the others.

I'd like to know as well; I've got a few decals that have seen better days.

Looking for a single lift bracket (part 535-7706-00) for the drop target. I have looked and searched all over the Google sphere with no results. As you can see, the side of the bracket has been rubbing against the support bracket; I didn't come to this conclusion until it was too late after noticing hitting the target took a couple of times to drop and I lifted the playfield - damage done. Any thoughts on what I could do to fix this? I'm not an engineer so my solution would be to JB Weld it. Thanks for any ideas on a solution.

Quoted from robx46:

Wondering if anybody has a source for the clear round standups. Can't find them anywhere, only colored. Might need a few. & a source for the drop target sticker!

I'm in the same boat @robx46...on both.
