Quoted from PNorth:Can anyone help me find a vendor for light blue 1 & 1/16” star posts? Like these:
https://www.pinballlife.com/light-blue-star-posts-1-116-tall.html
Edit. Doh. It looks like these are not in stock. sorry

That's weird. That doesn't show up when you search "star post" on the site search box. Maybe because it's in the clearance section?
Edit- Do'h, cause they're out of stock.
the main listing at:
https://www.pinballlife.com/plastic-translucent-star-posts-1-116-tall.html
has teal as a color choice but its not shown in the photo. I would email them and see if they can send you a picture. Good luck!
Edit: found teal pictured at Titan and its not even close to the light blue you need.

Quoted from RCA1:Edit- you guys keep beating my by 2 seconds.
That is pretty funny.

Not North America but https://www.ministryofpinball.com/en/pinballmachines/star-post-8-light-blue.html

Pinball Center will not ship to US addresses, but Pinsider Zitt has a mail forwarding address in Europe and does group buys:

You can buy from Ministry of Pinball and they’ll ship direct to you.
Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll check out Ministry of Pinball.
It’s amazing that light blue star posts exist, but aren’t available from a vendor in North America.
If anyone has any more North American suggestions, I’m sure the shipping costs would be lower than having to ship from the other side of ‘the pond’...
Thanks again to the Pinside community for their assistance!

Quoted from vid1900:Use blue dye in water and just boil clear ones in it
Methalyne blue from a tropical fish store works nicely
Thanks for the tip! How do you determine the shade of blue? Is it the amount of Methalyne Blue you put in, or how much time the posts are in the dye?
