    I got a top card with alot of parts missing. The playfield was already stripped.
    Question is-what kind of post hold the lower (by flippers) shield. I ordered new split post but the hole on the new shield set are way to small,so I figure they are mounted differant than what I am used too.
    Any help + photos would be great.
    Thanks

    Hi,

    It's a pitty you are in the US...
    Got a Top card in time, stripped for spare part... Concerning the PF, got most parts but gave away all the plastics... I surely got the posts and so on... If you are interested...

    The parts catalog says it uses A-14487 Split Post Caps and A-14488 Split Post Bases, 8 of them on the machine total.

    Did you get the shield set from Pinball Rescue?

    I just came across an instance in the Abra club thread where someone asked about enlarging the post holes on replacement shield plastics.

    and, in looking at the shield plastics for Top Card and Abra Ca Dabra on Pinball Rescue, it looks like the post holes are too small. You've got to enlarge them to fit on the split posts.
