Where can I find these plastic miniPCB supports that the post have gotten brittle and cracked/cracking off. They're like 38+ years old!
I super glued two of them but just would like to replace with new since it's apart and don't want more to break off. They are delicate.
Thanks!

Make sure you do not overtighten the bar across the back, that helps to crack the bosses (and makes your targets drop slowly, if at all/adds bricking)If they are available new hopefully someone will post as I'd like to pick some up too.
Well I've gotten the two posts super glued back on but I'd like to rebuild it stronger for sure with new or better plastics.
Doesn't any other game use these like Firepower or that era?
Quoted from HHaase:Huh, two threads on this part in an hour, was getting me confused....
Anyway, they're not a fast part to print, so the price is more than I'd like, but I do offer them on the website. I did have to tweak the design a bit to print reliably due to the overhangs. It's also a bit more stable now, less twisting on the bracket.

My bad. Made the other thread. then did a search and found one already started.
I see a user named PBJ on the Arcade Forum has made these for his AP. They look good!
Anybody know of the most "reasonable" place to buy 6 of these as 3D printed or NOS?
Quoted from HHaase:A fragile design too. Not much you can do about the thin standoff sections, can’t make ‘em thicker because they need to fit between the targets and hold the right size screws. And the tall spindly design limits the materials you can reliably print with on an FDM machine.
I’m actually printing an order for 10 of these right now. I just wish I could get them to print faster so I could drop the price. I know people need em but also need em to be cheaper. Hopefully when I jump to a resin printer I can work on the price problem.
Curious how long it takes to print one?
What material are you printing them in now?
Quoted from BMHouze:I had a tech try installing the thingaverse improved spacers and they just didn't work right in Alien Poker.
Melted some of the pteg and welded the old ones.
Well that news is disheartening...
